EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE.

• PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 6.
An inquest has been held at the Canteen, Crook-
horn, on the body of George Stevens, a blacksmith,
employed on the fortifications now being con-
structed on Portsdown-hill. It appeared that
some three or four navvies were returning from
Bedhampton late at night, when one of the party
was missed. The others went back as far as what
is termed " Capon's Cutting," close to the Old Sema-
phore, and called out the missing man's name, and
were answered by him from the bottom of the ex-
cavation. On going down they not only found their
companion, who was uninjured, but the dead body
of Stevens. Mr. Stedman, surgeon, of Havant, was
sent for, and on arriving at the cutting at 3 a.m.,
,he found the poor fellow had been dead for some
hours, and had him removed to his surgery at
Crookhorn. Having made a post mortem exami-
nation of the body, Mr. Stedman gave evidence
that he found very extensive extravasation of blood
under the scalp, and a fracture commencing above
the left temple, and extending downwards through
the temporal bone and along the base of the skull.
ll° was of opinion that this severe fracture was
caused by a fall from a height, and that no blow
could have produced an injury of so extensive a
nature. There was no external mark of violence
whatever on any part of the head or body. It was
certainly a most remarkable coincidence that two
men should have fallen down the same cutting, on
the night, and that one should be killed and
the samerperfeetiy
uninjured, and without a mark
of chalk on the clothes of either; but as no evidence
was produced which would tend to implicate any
other person, a verdict of "Accidental death" was
returned. The poor man bad, it appears, some 235.
or 245. when he left Work, but not a farthing was
found on him after death.

FRANCE.

The Emperor has commuted to hard labour for
life, the sentence of death passed at the last assizes
of the Rhone on the young man Giraud -for killing
a turnkey in the Prison St. Joseph at Lyons.
The Moniteur publishes four decisions of Marshal
Bandon, Minster of War, relative partly to exemp-
tion from military service in 1862, and partly to re-
enlistments and engagements as substitutes. The
first fixes the sum to be paid by young men comprised
in the contingent of the class of 1861, for exonera-
tion from service, at 2,500 f. By the second, the
amount which soldiers now in the service, but wish-
ing to retire, will have to pay, is settled at 550 f, for
each year of their unexpired term, The third enacts
that re-enlistments for seven years will give a
right to a sum of 2,200 f. ; I,ooof. to be paid at
the time of joining the regiment, and 1,200 f. at the
end of the engagement; also to the pay of 10e. a-
day. Any re-enlistment contracted for less than
seven years will give a right up to 14 years' service
to a sum of 310 f. for each year ; 140 f. to be paid at
the time of incorporation, and 170 f. at the end of
the period, and to the pay of 10c. a-day. After 14
years' service the soldier re-enlisting will only have
a right to the high daily pay of 20c. Voluntary
enlistments by men who have retired from the ser-
vice will also give a right to the above advantages.
The fourth decision states that replacements made
by the Administration, and for a period of seven
years, will entitle the substitute to a bounty of
2,200 f. ; I,ooof. payable at the time of entering,
and 1,200 f. at the end of the term.

THE SOLDIER AT ALDERSHOTT.

Nearly all the troops in the British army pass
through Aldershott in turn, and it is calculated that
about two-thirds of those who are quartered there
have on an average five hours of leisure in the day,
making nearly 50,000 hours daily among them to
be used for good or for evil. If the question is asked
in what way do they spend this leisure time, the
answer is that, out of camp, they are in the habit of
resorting to publichouses and beerhouses, the cha-
racter of which may scarcely be sketched. Several
of the publichouses have large music-halls, fitted up
with great splendour, and, as an inducement to the
men to visit these places and spend their money in
drink, the attendance of prostitutes gaily dressed is
encouraged, and entertainments are given of a highly
demoralising tendency. The publicans in some
cases keep prostitutes in their houses, and pass
them off as servants, and in other cases provide
lodgings for women in the neighbourhood that they
may draw custom to their houses. The beerhouses
are said to be, almost without exception, brothels of
the worst description. The women generally live
in these houses, and have the free use of certain
rooms in consideration of their drawing men to
drink ; in some cases the women pay for this privi-
lege, making what they can from the men. The
most craftily devised plans are in operation first to
attract, and then to excite and gratify the sensuous
passions of the men, No system could be better
planned for sapping gradually the health of the
soldiers. Of all the admissions to hospital at Alder-
shott one-third are for diseases incident to lust.
When the men go out for a change of scene they
have no resort but bad houses, and no company but
prostitutes. The new village of Aldershott is inha-
bited principally by publicans, brothel keepers,
prostitutes, thieves, and receivers of stolen property.
No prosecution has ever been instituted against the
tenant of any publichouse or beerhouse for harbour-
ing prostitutes or keeping a public brothel, or
against any prostitute as such. These statements
are made upon .he unquestionable authority of
Capt. P. Jackson, it.A., and are contained in his re-
port presented in fept. last to the Secretary of State,
after an inspectioi of the camp which ho had been
instructed to make—a report which was last Weeli
published by oiler of the House of Commons.
Whether all this evil is unavoidable and necessary
yet remains to beproved. Captain Jackson, after
making these statements, reports in favour of the
establishment of vhat he terms " Homes," to give
the aecommodatbns of a club, with a museum,
workshops, grourds for outdoor games, and a mu.
hall, and he is abe to mention as available a bu ild-
ing situated on the very way from the camp to
these haunts of vice. Nearly 3,000 of the non-com-
missioned officers and men at Aldershot are already
found desirous of having such establishments.
Their example mould tell upon others, and in time
life at the camp might cease to be such is flagrant
disgrace and scatdal.

THAMES THIS DAY.

JACK ON A LEE SHORE.—Stephen Rice, a sailor, was
brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with being drunk
and disorderly, and damaging a cab.
George Castles, a cab driver wearing the badge 11,487,
stated that on Saturday night he was engaged by the pri-
soner and a landsman, his friend, to drive them to the
Eagle, in the Mile-end-road, and from there to St. George's-
in• the-East, where a host of loose women, finding the pri-
soner was a homeward bounder and had got money about
him, would have plundered him if his friend had not
protected him and got him away from them. The prisoner,
who was getting drunk and noisy, was requested by his
friend to go home with him out of harm's way, who informed
him that the land sharks were about and would fleece him. The
prisoner was very obstinate : got into the cab again, and
after riding a few yards, he opened the door, swung upon it
and broke it from its hinges. Ho stopped the cab, and the
prisoner smashed the door, and rendered it useless.
Mr. Woolrych—Did the prisoner and his friend pay the
fare ?

Witness—Yes, sir; the fair was paid—they paid me 4s.
Mr. Woolrych—What is the amount of the damage
done ?

Witness—£2 ss.

Mr. Woolrych—What, is it a whole cab broken up ?
Witness—Not a very old cab, nearly a new one.
Mr. Woolrych—£2 58 is a large sum for a cab-door.
Witness—Here is the coachmaker's 15s. for a
new door, and 20s. for the hire of a cab for the week. I lost
tny day's work yesterday, and another day's work to-day.
It will be a £5 job.
Mr. Woolrych did not believe the bill. I won't believe
a new cab door will cost 355.

The prisoner said he was "by the head" on Saturday
night, and he was very willing to make compensation.
The parties were allowed to arrange the matter, and the
cabman reduced his demand to 205,, and he went home
with the sailor to get the money.

The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex-
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
ness has now beoome the grim torture. Purity of motive,
Intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully

MILER EXPLOSION AND LOSS OF LIFE.

lwosy oc-
curred by
ion'
A frightful catastrophe, which has occasioned loss
sTtheaemexspa
of life, occurred at Hull, on Friday, on the premises
sawyers,
theof
bursting Messrs. W. Barron
a
an
large
shortly after six in the morning, and at that
time two lads, about thirteen years of age, named
boiler. Co.,er.
William Henry Milner and William Stephenson,
were sitting on either side of the boiler fire.
The engineer and two workmen were also
near the boiler, and they were blown several
yards in different directions. The boiler was
seen to bound out of its socket, and strike
against the bottom of two chimneys in connection
with the works, which were five or six yards dis-
tant in a straight line. It was again raised from
its position by the steam several feet into the air,
and revolved quite round, falling almost into its
socket again. It then burst quite open, and blew a
piece of the boiler, weighing nearly a ton, over a
wall several feet high. The shed of the boiler •house
was terribly shattered, and blew in all directions,
none of the spars or tiles being left near the spot,
and many of the pieces were carried a distance of
60 or 70 yards. All the houses in the vicinity are
more or less visibly marked by the losion, while
sore of the roofs are actually blWn in. W. H.
Milner, one of the lads who was sitting at the boiler
fire, was smothered by the debris, and when got
out was quite dead. The other lad was buried up
to the armpits, and, although he was very much
scalded, he escaped- with his life. A naan named
John Whitfield was blown through a small hole
which had been made in the boiler-house wall, and
was very seriously injured about the head. John
Stephenson and ether workmen were blown into a
crane about 20 yards distant, and miraculously
escaped with a few bruises. The engineer was
lifted into a round, seven or eight feet from the
ground, but was not much hurt. Several of the
men also escaped with slight injuries. The boiler
was built about eight years. Three years since it
was strengthened for high pressure, and worked for
some time et 601 b per square inch. At the time of
the explosion, we are intormed, it was being worked
at low pressure, at only-12lb per square inch.

JOZEAU'S COPAHINE MEGE.—Copaiba and
Cubebs are doubtless the best remedies, but are of a re-
pulsive taste and odour, and occasion colicky pains, nausea,
and gastric disturbance. M. Jozcau has succeeded in render-
ing them perfectly innocuous by increasing all their curative
properties. It has been adopted by the Paris Academ of
Medicine after more than a thousand trials in Paris andy the

MARLBOROUGH-STREET THIS DAY.

CAPTURE OF A NOTORIOUS CHARACTER.—A PUGILIST
CHARGED WITH UTTERING A FORGED BANK NOTE.—
David Hayes, a pugilist, living at Graham's Coffee-shop,
Little White Lion-street, Seven Dials, was charged, before
Mr. Tyrwhitt, by Sergeants Joy and Franklin, of the C and
G Divisions, with uttering a forged £lO Bank of England
note, with intent to defraud Mr. Gervase Bird, tailor, of 2,
John-street, Grosvenor•-square.

The prisoner has once been convicted of a highway rob-
bery, with another man named " CatTotty Davis," in Seven
Dials, and has for some time been mixed up with thieves
and utterers of counterfeit coin.

Mr. Gervase Bird said—On the 6th of March, in the
evening, the prisoner called on me and said, " Mr. Bird, do
you know me." He then said, "Do you remember a per-
son named Tiney I°' I said, " Yes," and the prisoner then
mentioned several circumstances that brought him back to
my recollection. I then said, " Where have you been i?"
and he replied, " I've been in the country with a gentle-
man, and he gave me a £lO note, and as you have made
clothes for some persons I know, I thought I would get you
to clothe me." As the prisoner told such a feasible story I
measured him for some clothes, and he then took a £lO
note out of his portemonnaie and laid it on the counter for
me to take £1 out of it as a deposit. I did so, giving him
a£s note and four sovereigns back. As the prisoner did
not call on the day appointed, and my son felt some suspi-
cion of the note, I took it to a neighbour, who refused to
change it, and I then went to the West-end Branch of the
Bank of England in Burlington-street, and it was there
pronounced a forgery, and was stamped so, the good one of
the same number, " 49,037," being in the books. I have
had the note in my possession ever since.

Mr. John Bird, son of prosecutor, corroborated him, and
also identified the prisoner.

Sergeant Joy, 9C, said—l captured the prisoner, in
company of Sergeant Franklin, at the Cheshire Cheese,
Dean .street, Holborn, on Saturday night, in company with
several other thieves. On telling him the charge, he said
"Do as you like with me." While taking him from the
house, noticing a suspicious movement of his hands, Ser-
geant Franklin observed him drop a counterfeit crown piece.
Sergeant Franklin proved picking up the counterfeit coin.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner till to-niorrow week,
it being stated that several other notes—all forged—of the
same date aro in circulation.

TIE SOLDIER AT ALDERSHOTT.

Nearly all the troops in the British army pass
through Aldershott in turn, and it is calculated that
about two-thirds of those who are quartered there
have on an average five hours of leisure in the day,
making nearly 50,000 hours daily among them to
be used for good or for evil. If the question is asked
in what way do they spend this leisure time, the
answer is that, out of camp, they are in the habit of
resorting to publichouses and beerhouses, the cha-
racter of which may scarcely be sketched. Several
of the publichouses have large music-halls, fitted up
with great splendour, and, as an inducement to the
men to visit these places and spend their money in
drink, the attendance of prostitutes gaily dressed is
encouraged, and entertainments are given of a highly
demoralising tendency. The publicans in some
cases keep prostitutes in their houses, and pass
them off as servants, and in other cases provide
lodgings for women in the neighbourhood that they
may draw custom to their houses. The beerhonses
are said to be, almost without exception, brothels of
the worst description. The women generally live
in these houses, and have the free use of certain
rooms in consideration of their drawing men to
drink ; in some cases the women pay for this privi-
lege, making what they can from the men. The
most craftily devised plans are in operation first to
attract, and then to excite and gratify the sensuous
passions of the men. No system could be better
planned for sapping gradually the health of the
soldiers. Of all the admissions to hospital at Alder-
shott one-third aro for diseases incident to lust.
When the men go out for a change of scene they
have no resort but bad houses, and no company but
prostitutes, The new village of Aldershott is inha-
bited principally by publicans, brothel keepers,
staitnuytes or keeping thieves, and receivers of stolen property.
prosecution has ever been instituted against the
a n prostitutes
tenant oo f
N prostitutes,
publichouse or boerhouse for harbour-
inga public brothel, or
g
prostitute as such. These statements
are made upon the unquestionable authority of
Capt. P. Jackson, R.A., and are contained in his re-
port presented in Sept. last to the Secretary of State,
after an inspection of the camp which ho had been
instructed to
make—a report which wan last week
published by order of the House of Commons.
Whether all this evil is unavoidable and necessary
yet remains to be proved. Captain Jackson, after
making these statements, reports in favour of the
establishment of what he terms " Homes," to give
the accommodations of a club, with a museum,
workshops, grounds for outdoor games,
and a music-
hall, and he is able to mention as available a build-
ing situated on the very way from the camp to
these haunts of vice. Nearly 3,000 of the non-com-
missioned officers and men at Aldershot are alreltoy
found desirous of having such establishments.
Their example would tell upon others, and in time
life at the camp might cease to be such
a flagrant
disgrace and scindal.

PRUSSIA.

The Pr ussian Constitutional party has published
in its turn, an electoral manifesto, of which the
following are the principal points
" Ist. Conscientious respect for the Constitu-
tional rights of the Crown, and complete efficacy of
the rights guaranteed to the people and their re-
presentatives. 2. The Chamber of Deputies has
undoubtedly the right, according to the terms of the
Constitution, to amend the annual budget, by ape•
cialising the chapters, as it thinks proper. 3. The
Constitution exacts that the budget be voted before
the commencement of the year to which it belongs.
4. No one can approve of the charges imposed upon
the country by the new organisation and by the
increase of the standing army becoming durable in
time of (peace. 5. The Chamber of Nobles, in its'
present composition, forms one of the principal
obstacles to a national and liberal policy."

The Progressionist party, on its side, has replied
to the circular of the Minister of the Interior, by
an address to the electors, in which we remark the
following lines : _ _

"We rely on the Prussian people not allowing
themselves to be disturbed, but that it will show
by the new elections that it has not advocated
the liberal development of Prussia in consequence
of momentary feelings of irritation, but seriously
and with resolution. If we hold firmly to Consti-
tutional right, to the reality of Constitutional in-
stitutions, and to the success of progress, the period
of trials will be abridged, the last hopes of reaction
destroyed, and the union between the people and
the Government, which cannot be interrupted, but
to the detriment of the country, be re-established."
The Prussian Minister of Justice, Count Lippe,
has just addressed a circular to the functionaries of
his department on the subject of the coming elec..
tions. It was rumoured that many magistrates had
protested against their being obliged to assume an
attitude in the elections not in accordance with their
constitutional position. Count Lippe's circular is
less stringent than that of the Minister of the
Interior, the functionaries being recommended not
to join in the electoral excitement, so as to depart
from the impartiality so necessary to every magi-
strate.

The municipal council of Berlin, at its last sit-
ting," says a letter from that city, " resolved unani-
mously that all the 41 per cent. stock held by the
city should be presented for reimbursement. That
decision is considered a vote of want of confidence
against the Ministry, and will probably beimitated
by a number of fundholders, and thus give a rude
blow to first financial operation of M. Von der
Hey dt."
A Berlin letter in the Cologne Gazette says:—
"It is stated that Belgium last mouth expressed a
desire to open negotiations with the Zollverein on
the subject of a treaty of commerce. The Prussian
Government replied that it would ask the assent of
the other States of Zollvereie. This is the sole
foundation for the rumour current in political circles
that Belgium had already made certain definite
proposals."

WOOL.

There has been a slight improvement in the market for

English wool since our last report. Down qualities have
fully supported previous rates, and for deep-grown qualities
there has been more inquiry, though without leading to any
advance in the quotations. We do not, however, consider
the market by any means active. Colonial and foreign
wools have commanded very little attention. Last week's
imports were 6,077 bales'from Sydney; 4,642 Port Philip;
1,515 Algoa Bay; 2,564 Adelaide; 1,077 Hobart Town;
and 3,939 bales from Geelong.
