The Journal de Varsovie publishes the follow-

ing :--

" The Hotel de l'Europe, in this city, which was
confiscated by the State during the disturbances of
1863 in consequence of the murder of Dr. Bartholdi,
will be given up to its proprietor on the Ist of
October, by order of his Excellency Count Berg,

CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day.

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)

A gentlemanly-looking foreigner, named Lafaucade, sur-
rendered to an indictment, charging him with having cow-
mitted perjury at a trial iu one of the superior courts of
Westminster, in which a Madame Valentine was a claimant
for some -valuable securities, and in which the defendant
gave strong evidence adverse to her claim. The trial was
of a very complicated character, and will not conclude, it
is expected, before late at night.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant.)

Frank Lancing Martin was indicted for feloniously
forging and uttering an order for the delivery of a blank
cheque, with intent to defraud the Governor and Company
of the Bank of England.
The prisoner, it appeared, engaged a boy to go to the
Bank of England to obtain a blank cheque, representing

it to be for Messrs. Gosling & Co., which was untrue.
Brett, the officer on duty at the bank, saw tho boy enter,
and having made some inquiries of him, the cheque was
delivered to him, and when he arrived outside the bank
the prisoner came up, took the paper from him, and then
Brett took him into custody.

The prisoner, it was discovered, had ordered a large
quantity of clothes from several tailors iu the City, and had
resided at two or three hotels, each of which he had kit
without paying his bill.

Tho Common Sergeant told him it was a very serious
offence, and it was fortunato he did not carry his design
fully into operation. Had he done so he would most un-
doubtedly have been sentenced to penal servitude. He
then sentenced him to 12 months' imprisonment in the
House of Correction.

The trial of Robert Waters, late steward of the Earl of
Shaftesbury, has been postponed until the October sessions.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

WESTMINSTER.

THE BALLOON ASCENT AT CREIKORNE.-Arthur Lovejoy
a carman, was charged with being drunk, and endangering
the lives of persons near Cremorne gardens, and violently
assaulting the police.
At seven o'clock last evening, while a large number of
persons were waiting in the neighbourhood of Cremorne
for the balloon ascent, the defendant drove a cart reck-
lessly down Cremorne-lane, to their imminent danger. He
was so drunk that he repeatedly fell about the cart, and
only had one rein to drive with. He, of course, had no
control over the horse. Police-constable Manley, 347, on
observing his condition, stopped the horse, and took the
defendant into custody. Accused, who is a very tall,
'powerful man, immediately seized the constable and twice
threw him over his shoulders, from the effects of
which he spat blood during the whole night. On
his way to the station defendant resisted violently and
kicked the constable, and on his way to the station seized
a two-pound weight and was about to throw it at him,
when ho was prevented by a bystander. He was violent
to other constables who came to Manley's assistance.
_ _

Defendant said that he met with some friends who had
treated him to drink until he hardly knew what occurred.
He considered his friends had been his enemies in giving
him the drink.

Mr. Arnold thought ho was his own enemy in taking it.
His conduct had been fraught with danger to the public,
and when apprehended he had committad a violent assault,
aggravated by his seizing the weight to throw at the
officer.
Committed to hard labour for a month, and to find bail
for three months.

ACCIDENT TO Mn. MONK, M.P.—We regret to
hear that our respected representative, 0. J. Monk, Esq.,
has sustained a serious accident by falling through two
skylights. One rib was broken and several severe bruises
inflicted. Happily ho was not seriously out by the glass,
and his escape may be considered a most providential one.
He is now fast recovering.—Gloucester Journal.
During the last few days there has been very little
animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets. Sugars have remained inactive at the
late decline. For coffee there has been only a mo-
derate inquiry, and prices remain without change.
Rico has been in good demand at enhanced rates ;
while business in the tallow market has continued
moderately active, and quotations for both present
and forward delivery remain exceedingly firm.
Tho Committee of the Stock Exchange have ap-
pointed Friday, the 18th inst., a special settling
day in the shares of the Belgrave Mansions Com-
pany (Limited), and in the scrip of the East Lon-

Volunteer Review at Manchester,

On S

Saturday afternoon the volunteers of this city and the
neighbourhood were reviewed upon the Manchester race
ground by Col. Erskine, Inspector-General of Volunteers.
The very unfavourable state of the weather was the cause
of general regret among those interested in the success of
everything connected with the volunteer movement. Be-
fore noon heavy rainclouds gathered overhead, and in the
afternoon drizzling showers fell continuously, so that at 4
o'clock, when the review should have commenced, the race
ground was very wet and uncomfortable. Under such de-
pressing circumstances, the stands afforded ample shelter,
but in these most of the seats were bare. Notwithstanding
the smart rain which came down in the course of the in-
spection, a crowd occupied the approaches to the course,
and watched the evolutions throughout. The artillery with
four field pieces were the first to arrive. They were fol-
lowed by the Light Horse Volunteers, whose scarlet dresses
presented a very pretty appearance. The other corps en-
tered the field in time to receive the reviewing officer at
half past 5 o'clock. Tho whole force assembled on the
ground numbered 3,629 officers and men, and these were
resolved into three brigades, as follows :
FIRST BRIGADE.

tat M.R.V. Lieut.-Col. Loyd ; officers, 25 ; sergeant; 34;
buglers, 50; rank and file, 320—total, 429.
Bth L.R.C. (Bury and Heywood), Major Price; officers,
14 2 sergeants, 21; buglers, 46 ; rank and file, 248 ; total,

• 329.
24th L.R.V. (Rochdale), Major Fishwicko ; officers, 9 ;
sergeants, 20; burglars, 19 ; rank and file, 232 ; total, 280.
SECOND BRIGADE.

7th L.A.B. (Ashton and Oldham), Lieut.-Colonel Mel-
lor ; officers, 21; sergeants, 31; buglers, 47 ; rank and file,
330 ; total, 429.
2d M.R.V. Major Scott ; officers, 27 ; sergeants, 60 ;
buglers, 53 ; rank and file, 364 ; total, 501.
THIRD BRIGADE.

3d M.R.V. Captain Clark; officers, 28; sergeants, 48;
buglers, 56 ; rank and file, 366 ; total, 498.
4th L.A.B. (Worsley, Swinton, Leigh, Atherton, and
Farnworth), Lieut.-Colonel Mather; officers, 16; sergeants,
16 ; buglers 40 ; rank and file, 250 ; total, 332.
56th L.R.V. (Salford), Major Barrett; officers, 14; ser-
geants, 34 ; bugler; 49 ; rank and file, 260 ; total, 357.
Besides the above, there were the 19th Lancashire Artil-
lery, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Mawson, with
27 officers, 27 sergeants, 35 bugler; 335 rank and file,
making a total of 424. The Ist Lancashire Light Horse,
under Captain Turner's command, with 4 officers, 5 ser-
geants, 14 bugler; 24 rank and file ; total, 47.
Grand total, 3,629.
The first brigade was under the command of Lieut.-
Colonel Hutchinson, the second was commanded by Lieut.-
Colonel Cunliffe, and the third by Lieut.-Colonel Egerton.
Colonel Erskine's staff included Major Marshall, of the
3d Cheshire Battalion ; Lieut.-Colonel Bruce, assistant
inspector of volunteers for Lancashire ; Lieut. Kearaley,
Captain Baird, and Major Preston.
The reviewing officormade the preliminary inspection of
the front and roar of the force drawn up in line, and then
took up a position at the flag staff. Here that severe test
of military discipline, the marching past, took place. The
Light Horse led the van, and passed in gallant style. Ono
or more companions of the Artillery battalion were out of
step with the band. A portion of the Ist Manchester was
also at fault in this respect, although the whole regiment
marched in good line. The 24th Regiment marched well,
considering the number of recruits ; the dressing of the
second company was good. The Oldham mon, in the 7th
Administrative Battalion, also included several young
soldiers, but they acquitted themselves remarkably well.
The 2d Manchester did not get much credit. The Ist
company had a bad line ; the other marched on the whole
well. The 3d Manchester took the palm. Every com-
pany in it marched very well. In nearly every case the
dressing was excellent. The fifth company had, beyond
doubt, tho best line. The 4th Administration Battalion
did not pass pass muster so wall as the rest. Three com-
panies of the Salford Regiment marched very creditably,
the sth taking the precedence.
After the marching past, the force proceeded to the
Broughton end of the course and there formed three lines
in contiguous columns. This done, the Light Horse and
Artillery covered the front, the Artillery firing. The Ist
Manchester, as the right battalion of the first brigade,
covered the front in light infantry order. Next, the Artil-
lery by the flank; and the division, advancing in echelon
of battalion from the right, formed square, and received the
cavalry with a terrific fire. The skirmishers retired by the
right. In order to relieve the first line, the third brigade
deployed and commenced firing. The division, covered by
the 3d Manchester, changed front to the loft. The skir-
mishers retired, and the line opened fire, being flanked right
and left by the Artillery. The line made a dashing charge,
and this brought the movements to a close. All the move-
ments wore well directed and controlled by a regard to the
position of the spectators. Commencing at the Broughton
end of the course the evolutions extended gradually, so
that the final charge could take place in front of the grand
stand, and thus be witnessed by every spectator. Although
the evolutions did not represent anything like a sham
fight, where their general connection and completeness
might be detected by an ordinary 'Spectator, yet
so well were the movements concerted, and such
were the inevitable din and tthimonr of the guns and
rifles, that at least the imagery of war was strikingly
represented. The day's work was well done.
The men seemed to forget the wetness of the ground and to
enjoy the mimic warfare. A few mistakes were made in the
course of the review, caused principally by misinterpreta-
tion of the words of command. In the volley firing, the 2d
Manchester were especially steady and uniform, and in this
respect they excelled the rest of the volunteers.
The review over, Col. Erskine addressed the officers and
men. He said he could not allow the force he had had
the honour of reviewing that day to be dismissed without
expressing his thanks for the opportunity which had been
afiorded him of testing the ability of the Lancashire volun-
teers to move in the field. A gathering of that description
could not be effected without entailing the sacrifice of many
valuable hours on the part of those who had been engaged
in it, and therefore he felt that he was only doing them jus-
tice by acknowledging that sacrifice. At the same time, he
ventured to think that such a gathering did not take place
without some attendant advantage to the corps which took
part in it, for it ought to be remembered that when several
battalions met together for the purpose of moving in con-
cert, the lessons taught on the parade ground and in the
drill field became much more intelligible than if individual
training was confined to battalions and companies. Yet
this did not imply that attendance at reviews superseded
the necessity of attending to ordinary drills and parades.
If these were •neglected, it would be impossible to pre-
serve that efficiency which thuLaneashire volunteers had
already acquired. He would, therefore, remind them of
the desirablenes of continuing stedfast in their attention
to ordinary drills and parades. He would not detain the
force by commenting upon any of the movements that had
taken place. Suffice it to say that generally he had been
very well pleased with what he had witnessed. There
were some little faults in the marching past, attributable to
the officers commanding companies not observing their
covering ; but with that and some other exception; he
had to express his entire approbation of everything that
had been done upon the field that day.—This finished the
review.
Later in the evening Col. Erskine and several officers 01.
f
the line were entertained at dinner at the Queen's Hote
Col. Egerton presided. He proposed the health of
reMajorr-
General Sir Sidney Cotton and other officers of th
force present. The toast was cordially acknowledgede la

did he believe it would diminish among officers in any other

now a better class of men than he could command at the
commencement of the movement. There was now a greater
facility in getting troops, a good class of men came to drill,
the volunteer cause was doing very well, and ho hoped it
would continue to do so. (Applause.) The review that
clay had bcen honoured by the presence and command of
the Inspector-General of Volunteers. (Applause.) For
that honour, voluntarily conferred, the Lancashire volun-
teers owed a great debt of gratitude to Col. Erskine,whose
health he would now propose. Col. Erskine, who was
heartily greeted, said that although the review had taken
place under somewhat adverse circumstances, he congra-
tulated those who had taken part in it upon the result of
his inspection. He was exceedingly pleased with what he
bad seen in the field. A few mistakes were made, but that
was the case with all volunteers. The movements gene-
rally were very well performed, the appearance of the
troops left nothing to be desired, and all the battalions
turned out in a Oitart and soldierlike way. What was the
moral to be extracted from what he had witnessed ? It
was just this :—That a convincing proof had been afforded
of the falsity of what for many years had prevailed
among the nations of Europe. Napoleon said that we
wore a nation of shopkeepers, and clearly meant when he
said so, that owing to the English people being devoted in
a great measure to the pursuits of commerce and manufac-
ture; the military spirit was either extinguished or had
never existed. It was really very strange that Napoleon
should ever have given utterance to such an opinion as
that, because it would be impossible for him to effaceements
his memory the recollections of the gallant achiev
of the English army and navy.
until the present time, he would never htahvee

any other county in England,

devotion to mercantile pursuits was not at all incompatible
with the existence of an ardent military spirit. (Hear.)
That day's review, for instance, had taken pince upon
ground surrounded in every direction by a forest of chim-
neys and other unmistakable evidences of a district which

supplied the whole h abitable world with manufactures;
and
principthallye large military force inspected there, composed
of men engaged in those manufactures, or in
kindred pursuits, hail turned out is a most soldierlike and
efficient way, and had executed a series of manoeuvres in
the most creditable (style. This was not all ; many would
recollect that, at the, great review at Hyde-park in 1864,
in the presence of the Heir Apparent of the Throne, some
of the finest battalions paraded there were sent from Man-
chester. (Applause.) Thus, it had been clearly shown
that the volunte,:,re of this county were able to stand the
test of a comparison with the elite of the citizen army of
which they formed a part. With all his heart he wished
that success might attend the Lancashire volunteers in all
time to come. (Applause.)
The health of Colonel Bruce, assistant inspector of vo-
lunteers, was zioxt given and acknowledged. Other toasts
followed.
