The King of Prussia in Lauenburg.

RATZEBtinG, Sept. 26.
The King of Prussia arrived at the frontier of
Lauenburg at five p.m. yesterday. A triumphal

arch had been erected, and Count Melmansegge,

the President of the Government, with Land-Mar-
shal von Bulow, received his Majesty upon his entry
into the Duchy. Both gentlemen, at the. King's
invitation, entered the royal carriage. Upon reach-
ing Buchen, where the station was very tastefully

decorated with shrubs and flags, the King left his
carriage and entered the saloon. His Majesty was
received by Councillor von Linstow and State-Coun-
cillor Walter, the Amtmann of Lauenburg. Two
young girls dressed in white presented his Majesty
with a copy of verses commemorating the occasion.
The King then made the following speech :

" Unusual circumstances having brought us together, I
rejoice to be present for the first time among you, sooner
indeed than I could have expected after your representatives

had expressed a wish that I should come in person. I meet
you with full confidence, and feel gratified at the words
from which I understand that you also place trust in me

and my Government. This is an assurance of happiness for
the future, and it is a good omen that the union of your
beautiful country with Prussia takes place in the same year
when four of my provinces have thanked me that the pro-
mises my illustrious ancestors made them at the time of

their union with the Fatherland we have now in common

have been so fully carried out. The prosperity, opulence,

and contentment of those four provinces gives me greater
confidence in coming to you, for I entertain the best wishes

for your welfare. May this omen also be a happy presage
for your future !"

His Majesty was received with loud cheers by the
crowd assembled. The train proceeded shortly after

five, arriving at Alolln in about half an hour. The
King left the carriage again here to receive the greet-

ing of the Municipality through their President;
Town-Captain Dalun, and to inspect a squadron of
dragoons drawn up on foot with a tastefully-uni.

formed company of volunteers.
Towards six o'clock the Royal train arrived at the
Ratzeburg station, which was handsomely decorated
for the occasion, where his Majesty was received
with a flourish of trumpets and enthusiastic cheer-

ing. The functionaries of the district of Ratzeburg,
the clergy, and the entire staff of officials were as-

case they were to come in succession before the throne
and ratify their allegiance by the oath. Land-Mar-
shal von Bulow then came forward, read over all the
titles of the King, and administered the oath to
each member separately. The ceremony closed with
another verse of a psalm, a prayer, and the blessing,
after which the King returned to his residence on
foot, and in the course of the afternoon was present
at a dinner given at the Rathskeller. A display of
fireworks and a ball will take place this evening.

SOINDE,

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the London Tavern—Mr. W. P.
Andrew, the chairman, presided.
The reports of the Scinde, Punjab, and Delhi
Railways, and of the Indus flotilla comprised in this
company's undertakings, abstracts of which have
appeared in The Sun, were taken as read.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said he was happy to state that by the re-
cent mail intelligence of a much more favourable
nature had reached them. The traffic receipts,
both on the Scinde and Punjab Railways, had re-
cently received an impetus that was likely to con-
tinue. When he had the pleasure of addressing them
on the last occasion they had 137 miles of railway
open for traffic, 531 miles under construction, and
about 500 miles under survey, making an aggregate
length of 1,168 miles confided to this company,
without reckoning anything for branches that would
have to be made. But, instead of having only, as
they had at the end of last year, 137 miles of railway
open, they had now 358 miles of railway open for
traffic and in fair working order, 310 miles under
construction, and the same length as last half-year
under survey. The improvements of the port of
Kurrachec were going on, and upon which the ulti-
mate succes of their undertaking depended. The im-
provements going on had had the effect of reducing
the height of the bar at the entrance by two feet, so
that they had that much more depth of water for
ships passing over the bar than they ever had be-
fore. He had received a letter from their manager,
dated the 19th of August, stating that a great in-
crease had taken place in their Scinde traffic. Cot-
ton, oil, and other produce was piled upon their

Extensive Fire at Stepney.

Shortly before midnight on Friday a very alarming fire,
and nearly attended with fatal results to a man in his
anxiety to safe life, took place. The premises in which
the disaster commenced belonged to Mrs. Envors, a linen
draper, at No. 6, Bull-lane, Stepney. The discovery was
made by Police-constable A; No. 666, by seeing smoke
issuing from the lower portions of the premises, a two
storey building. Ah instant alarm was given, but as no
one made an appearance, it was apprehended that the oc-
cupants were in their bed asleep, when a gentleman named
Leckford, of 263, Mile-end-road, procured a ladder, and
wont in search of the supposed endangered porsons. He
had, however, no sooner opened the window than the
flames shot up the staircase with great violence, and the
flames and the heated smoke completely prostrated him
so as to' render it impossible for the man to retreat.
Conductor Rickell came up with theßoyal Society's escape
from the Mile-end station, and, regardless of all danger to
himself, he rushed into one of the rooms, where he found
the man clinging to a leg of a table partially suffocated.
By a desperate effort Rickell managed to get the man out,
but he would, in all probability, had he remained a minute
longer in the burning building, have perished The police
had previously made several attempts to enter the building
to rescue the man, but the heated smoke was so dense that
they wore unable. Three of Shand, Mason, and Co.'s land
steamers, with the manual ones of the district and those of
the parish attended with all promptitude, and the firemen,
by dint of great exertion, succeeded in getting the confla-
gration extinguished, but the whole of the stock in trade
and the lower part of the building vas totally destroyed.
Fortunately at the time of the outbreak the occupants were
out. The origin of the disaster is unknown.

Serious Charge against a Magistrate's Son.

Great excitement has been created at Stafford by the
arrest of Mr. G. F. Griffin, draper, son of Mr. G. Griffin,
one of the oldest and most respected borough magistrates,
on a charge of aiding and abetting Therza Tunstall, his
father's housekeeper, to conceal the birth of her female
child, of which he is alleged to be the father. The facts of
the caso, which are very remarkable, are these :—Tunstall
is a young woman about 25 years of age, whose parents
reside near Stafford, and who for five or six years has
lived in Mr. J. Griffin's service as housekeeper. The
accused, Mr. G. F. Griffin, is in partnership with his
father, and resides under the same roof. It seems that
about noon on Saturday, the 23d inst., some children, who
were playing on the banks of the river Mawddych, near
Dolgelly, the county town of Merionethshire, observed a
parcel floating on the river, and called to a man, who got
it out. On the parcel being opened it was found to contain
the body of a newly-born female child, wrapped up in a news-
paper: the Manchester Examiner and Times, of Sept. 16, and
a calico wrapper, such as are used in drapers' shops. The
child was very carefully wrapped up, the limbs being bent
double, so as to get the body into a small compass. The
body was taken charge of by Captain H. H. Lloyd Clough,
the chief constable of Merionethshire, and the inquest was
opened on Tuesday last, before Mr. G. J. Williams, the
coroner for the county, at the police-station, Dolgelly, and
adjourned till Monday next. A post-mortem examination
of the body was afterwards made, when marks of violence
were found on the throat and skull. The case was left by
the coroner in the hands of Captain Clough, who, aeting
upon information received, put himself in communication
with Colonel Hogg, the chief constable of Staffordshire
The newspaper in which the child was wrapped bore the
name of Mr. G. E. Griffin, in pencil, and this and other cir-
cumstances led to his arrest on Thursday afternoon, as he
was shooting with some friends in Shropshire. Tunstall,
his father's housekeeper, was also arrested on the same
day. She admitted having given birth to a child on the
21st ult. The prisoner Griffin is known to have left the
town about the time indicated with a portmanteau, which,
from statements made by the woman, is supposed to have
contained the child's body. Yesterday
morning bcth pri-
soners were taken before the mayor of Stafford and other
magistrates, who remanded them for further evidence.
Tunstall was removed in custody, but the prisoner Griffin
was admitted to bail, himself in the sum of £5OO and two
sureties in the sum of £250 each.

Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said he wished to ask the engineer
some questions which he considered of importance, and
which if answered would be very satisfactory to the public.
He did not wantthem answered at once, but they might be
answered fully and satisfactorily on next Friday. What he
wanted to know was—What was the amount of the con-
tracts for the Northern Embankment? When did the con-
tractors commence the works, and by what time would they
complete ? What is the amount that has been granted per
month for work done and plant put on the premises in
times past ? And what amount was wanted per month for
the future to complete the works ?
Mr. MILLER, M.P., said the information had already
been furnished to the members of the Board iu the papers
that had already been sent round.
The CHAIRMAN said the questions were very important,
and it would be well to ask the engineer to reply fully to
them on Friday.
This suggestion was acceded to.
Mr. NEWTON said he had read a report of the meeting of
the Metropolitan District Railway Company, in which the
chairman cast blame on the board for throwing difficulties
in their way of proceeding with their works. He wished to
know whether that was the fact.

The CHAIRMAN said it was perfectly clear that the board
had done everything possible to facilitate the proceedings
of the railway company, and had written letter after letter
to them and their engineer urging them to get their plant
on the premises and commence the details of the work. If
any fault existed it rested with the railway company. It
might have been convenient for the chairman of the com-
pany to make that statement to the shareholders, but it
was not consistent with the correspondence that had taken
place between the board and the company, nor with the
facts connected with their negotiations.
The report of the committee was then received by the
board and adopted.

Extensive Fire at Stepney.

Shortly before midnight on Friday a very alarming fire,
and nearly attended with fatal results to a man in his
anxiety to safe life, took place. The premises in which
the disaster commenced belonged to Mrs. Envers, a linen
draper, at No. 6, Bull-lane, Stepney. The discovery was
made by Police-constable A, No. 666, by seeing smoke
issuing from the lower portions of the premises, a two
storey building. An instant alarm was given, but as no
one made an appearance, it was apprehended that the oc-
cupants were in their bed asleep, when a gentleman named
Leckford, of 263, Mile-end-road, procured a ladder, and
went in search of the supposed endangered persons. He
had, however, no sooner opened the window than the
flames shot up the staircase with great violence, and the
flames and the heated smoke completely prostrated him
so as to render it impossible for the man to retreat.
Conductor Rickell came up with theßoyal Society's escape
from the Mile-end station, and, regardless of all danger to
himself, he rushed into one of the rooms, where he found
the man clinging to a leg of a table partially suffocated.
By a desperate effort Rickell managed to get the man out,
but he would, in all probability, had he remained a minute
longer in the burning building, have perished The police
had previously made several attempts to enter the building
to rescue the man, but the heated smoke was so dense that
they were unable. Three of Shand, Mason, and Co.'s land
steamers, with the manual ones of the district and those of
the parish attended with all promptitude, and the firemen,
by dint of great exertion, succeeded in getting the confla-
gration extinguished, but the whole of the stock in trade
and the lower part of the building was totally destroyed.
Fortunately at the time of the outbreak the occupants were
out. The origin of the disaster is unknown.

ADELPHI.

The only alteration in the already ample bill of
fare at this popular house was the production of a
new farce, in one act, entitled " Behind Time," in
which Mr. J. L. Toole made his re-appearance,
having completed his provincial engagements. The
farce, which at the fall of the curtain was stated by
Mr. Toole to have been written by Mr. B. Webster,
jun., is of that class that serves well enough to be
followed by a good piece, such as " Rip Van
Winkle." As a matter of course, a love adventure
constitutes the plot, and the hero is, of course,
at the Adelphi, Mr. Toole, whose wont to make
the most of every character he personates was never
better exemplified than in his personation last night
of Jeremiah Fluke, " a gentleman behind his time,"
whose procrastinating habits subject him to a chap-
ter of annoyances, but who is at last compensated
by making a " duke." Being in love with Matilda
Jane Swankey (Miss A. Seaman). he delays to press
his suit ; but in the course of time resolves to de-
clare his love, when, to his intense chagrin, he finds
that Matilda Jane has become the wife of Charles
Swankey (Mr. R. Phillips). Fluke, nevertheless, in
defiance of all obstacles, seeks to persuade Matilda
Jane to elope with him. She, however, resists his
importunities, and, hearing the approach of her hus-
band, seeks to make her escape. Fluke pursues her

THAMES.

OTJTRAGB ON A WOMAN BY A SOLDIER AND HIS COM-
PANIONS.—Thomas Foster, aged 26, a private in the Grena-
dier Guards, stationed in the, Wellington Barracks, Edwin
Chrisp, 23, and Jesse Klinch, 28, of 8, Lucas-street, St.
George-in-the-East, labourers, were brought before Mr.
Partridge, charged with assaulting Margaret Wood, a
young woman, of No. 38, Pekin-street, Poplar.
The complainant, her husband, and another couple, all
persons of respectability, and quiet demeanour, were just
coming out of Pekin-street into the East India Dock-road,
when the three prisoners, who were very drunk and up-
roarious, and driving against everybody they met, came in
contact with the complainant and her party, and ran
against them violently. Mrs. Wood and her husband
said to them, " Mind where you are going."
They were assaulted with foul abuse, and
threats by the prisoners, and Foster struck Mrs. Wood a
cowardly blow with his fist on the mouth which caused
her to bleed profusely. The woman's husband attempted
to secure the soldier, and was prevented doing so by Chrisp
and Klinch, who pulled him away and challenged Mr.
Wood to tight them. He declined doing so, the police
were called, a row and fight ensued, and Chrisp and Klinch
made an attempt to rescue Foster from the custody of the
police. They were defeated and lodged in the station
house.

A sergeant of the Grenadier Guards said that Foster was
a man of good character in the regiment to which b 3 be-
longed, and not a drunkard ; but he had been imprisoned
for one month for assaulting a military officer.
Mr. Partridge said he would not admit drunkenness as
any palliation for crime. The prisoners were all drunk,
and making themselves offensive to every one. Foster was
a cowardly fellow to strike a woman, and then to run after
her and attempt to hit her again. He was sure all the pri-
soner's comrades in the Grenadier Guards would look with
scorn and contempt on a man who struck a woman. He
sentenced Foster to be imprisoned for two months, and
kept to hard labour; and Chriep and Klinch to be cued
4Q,s. each, or Jo itilpigoned for one month.

near Carlisle on Friday, arising out of the deter-
mination of the city authorities to bury at King-
moor, a piece of waste ground about two miles from
Carlisle, all the cattle dying of plague within the
city. The Local Board of Health at first endea-
voured to find a suitable burial-place in Carlisle
near the infected byres, but could not do so ; they
then tried burning the carcasses, but this was found
so objectionable that it had to be abandoned ; and
on Thursday they resolved to disinfect them and
convey them out to Kingmoor in close carts, em-
bedded in charcoal. This determination was stre-
nuously resisted by the farmers in the neighbour-
hood of Kingmoor, and along the line of their route
from Carlisle. Seven dead carcasses were carted
out on Thursday evening and buried by torchlight,
and later at night a crowd of farmers and labourers
assembled on Eden-bridge, armed with guns and
bludgeons, to prevent the passage of any more loads
of the same kind out of the city into their district,
which is at present quite free from plague. On
receiving an assurance that no more wouldbe taken
that night they dispersed. On Friday morning the
Mayor of Carlisle, accompanied by the Town Clerk,
Mr. Gordon, city surveyor, and Mr. Bent, Super-
intendent of Police, left the city in a carriage for
the purpose of inspecting the burial-ground. As
they were passing through Stanwix the horses in
their conveyance were stopped by a crowd consist-
ing principally of farmers from the neighbourhood
of Kingmoor and Etterby. An attempt was made
to turn the carriage back ; some blows were struck,
one being aimed at the door of the conveyance.
The driver, by making a dash, got his horses away,
but the assailants procured two cabs from Carlisle
without delay and pursued the civic authorities in
hot haste, arriving at Kingmoor simultaneously
with them. When the two parties alighted an al-
tercation at once ensued, in which Mr. Milton Carr
of Cargo, Mr. Elwood of Kingmoor, and others,
took an active part. Angry words were followed
by violence. The Mayor and Town Clerk were taken
by the collar, and with Mr. Gordon were hustled about
and pushed off the debateable ground. When the
city authorities returned from Kingmoor they we re
met at Stanwix by Mr. Dunne, chief constable of
the county police, who had taken the precaution to
station there a posse of policemen to preserve the
peace. He had an interview with the Mayor, and
stated that he had no doubt, from the excited state
of the farmers, that if the burial of carcasses at
Kingmoor were permitted a riot might be the con-
sequence ; that, under the circumstances, he could
not hold himself responsible for the peace of the
neighbourhood ; and that the Mayor must take
the responsibility if a disturbance of the peace en-
sued. The city authorities have suspended the
burials at Kingmoor, and peace is restored. Sum-
monses were taken out on Saturday against the
ringleaders in the disturbance.
