" They will further willingly give support to all
those measures having the object of diffusing and
rendering instruction and popular education profit-
able.

"In this way the . Italian kingdom will continue
to acquire greater strength and authority both at
home and abroad, and will be able to attain the end
to which it is called by the unanimous voice of the
nation.

" The free institutions which govern it and which
are being in those monarchies which from their con-
stitution appeared to reject them, will secure the
prevalence of that moral force which has already
facilitated in the past, and will in the future facili-
tate the settlement of many questions in Europe.
Italy will certainly be able to derive advantage from
this moral force, which has already been to her of
no slight utility.
"In the contrary case, sire, your will and that
concord of the people and Pa'rliament who trust in
you, will surmount with indomitable constancy the
obstacles that may oppose themselves to our full
sovereignty.

" You speak well, sire, in saying that the work
begun should be transmitted complete to our chil-
dren. Ard as in past, so in future dangers, will
Italy rally around the national flag, recording so
many glories, and will worthily respond to your en-
couragement."

PROPOSED COLLECTING LINE.

Yesterday, at the meeting of the vestry of
St. Marylebone, held at the Court-house, Mr.
Church-Warden Poland in the chair, a numerous
deputation of the inhabitants of York-place, Baker-
street, Portman-square, and Orchard-street, pre-
sented a memorial, praying the vestry to co-operate
with them in opposing the bill for constructing a
railway from the Baker-street station of the Metro-
politan line, under the streets specified, to Oxford-
street. The deputation urged that there was no
question of public convenience to justify the vast
amount of injury which such a line would inflict.
The proposed length was about half a mile, which
could be walked in seven and driven over in throe
minutes, a space of time that when changes of car-
riages were taken into consideration no railway
could lessen. After some discussion it was resolved
unanimously that the vestry should take the same
course as they did with regard to the Oxford-street
Underground Railway Bill, which was thrown out
in standing orders two Sessions since, to take every
possible step in conjunction with the inhabitants to
I oppose the bill of the Metropolitan (collecting lines)
so far as the Baker-street Railway was concerned.

OSBORNE, Dec. 21.
The Queen, accompanied by Princess Louise,
walked and drove yesterday.
Her Serene highness Princess -Leiningen dined
with her Majesty in the evening.
•

THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF IVALT:A.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, accom-
panied by his Majesty the King of Portugal, left
Marlborough House at one o'clock yesterday, for
Osborne, on a visit to the Queen.
Lieut.-Col. Keppel, the Marquis de Ficalho, and
the Viscount Adolphe de Paiva were in attendance.

SANDRINGHAM, Dec. 21.
The Prince of Wales is expected to return to
Sandringham to-morrow from the continent.
During the past week the Princess of Wales, the
Marchioness of Carmarthen, and Lieut.-General
Knollys, in attendance, have remained in compara-
tive retirement, only making short walking and
driving excursions in the neighbourhood. There
have been no visitors in the house since the death of
the King of the Belgians.
It is understood that the poor of Sandringham and
the adjacent villages will, through the princely libe-
rality of their royal highnesses, have their usual
C hristmas good cheer, and that notwithstanding the
liberal presents of game, &c., they have received,
each cottager will receive a present on Christmas
Day, and the hearts of the children of the poor will
be gladdened by a good Christmas dinner, which
will probably be attended by their royal highnesses.
The promised visit of the Prince and Princess of
Wales to the Earl and Countess of Leicester, 10
Holkham has been postponed, and will not take
place till the Bth of January. The excellent pre-
serves of Holkham are said to be well stocked with
game, and will afford his royal highness and the
distinguished guests who will be invited to meet
their royal highnesses excellent sport. The visit
will of course be private, but a grand ball will take
place on one of the evenings.

EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW.

The adjourned meeting of this company was held
on Tuesday at Glasgow ; Mr. P. Blackburn in the
chair.

The CHAIRMAN stated that since they last met
the decision of the Court of Session had been given
against the voting of remuneration to the officials
as had been proposed. He did not concur in that
view of the case, but the Board did not intend to
appeal against the decision of the Court of Session,
and he would propose that the meeting be dissolved.

_ -
A long discussion ensued, in the course of which
it was resolved that as the decision of the First
Division of the Court of Session made it illegal for
the meeting to vote an allowance to the officials as
had been proposed, and, as the Board had resolved
not to proceed further in the litigation, it was ex-
pedient that the meeting he dissolved.
The meeting then separated.
At a meeting of shareholders held subsequently
(Mr. P. Clouston in the chair), a committee was
appointed to co-operate with the directors in ad-
justing any claims that might be made against the

him, he refused to meddle with it. When the crops
were dead ripe, however, overtures were made by the
incoming tenant to the offgoing tenant for the crops
to be gathered and sold, and the proceeds invested
in the joint names in some bank, to await the issue
of legal proceedings, but this, for some reason or
other, the offgoing tenant refused to accede
to, and thus the crops were left to waste,
and as food for the birds of the air. When we saw
the crops the other day, one of the fields, contain-
ing about eight acres, seemed to stand excellently
well, especially round hedges, which were a protec-
tion from the wind, but the birds had apparently
taken nearly every grain out of the ears, and hun-
dreds of birds —nay thousands—were busily feed-
ing upon the remnant. On observing the second
field, containing five acres, situated some distance
from the first, around the hedges the corn, or rather
straw, stood well for the birds, but the centre of the
field was as flat as if it had been rolled, and pre-
sented the appearance of a young onion bed, the
grain having commenced rapidly to shoot forth,
some to the extent of several inches. The third
field, containing about 11 acres, was somewhat
similar to the second, and all of them, we were in-
formed, were excellent crops ; in fact, as forward
and, as we stated before, as good as any in the
parish. Seeing several pear trees in the centre and
in the hedges of the fields, we inquired how their
crops had been gathered, and were told that the
fruit had been gathered and carried over the wheat
in the same manner as if no wheat crops were on
the land. A few days ago about 14 poor women
belonging to the parish entered one of the fields, and
commenced cutting the best of corn off at the ears,
leaving the straw ; and on being asked who in-
I structed them to do it, said the Queen had sent
them a letter instructing them to do it. The crops
at maturity were reckoned to yield about 10 bags
to the acre, making a total of 240 bags.—Manches-

In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days there has been rather less
animation. There have been no public sales of
sugar, but enhanced rates have been obtained in
the private market. Coffee has been in moderate
request, at steady prices, while rice, saltpetre, and
tallow have each been at reduced prices. The
markets will close this afternoon for the Christmas
holidays, and reopen on Tuesday, 2nd January,

THE SO-CALLED LEADER OF THE BAND AT THE
ARGYLL ROOMS.—Mr. P. Grenet, the manager of
the Argyll Rooms, waited upon Mr. Knox, at the Marl-
borough-street Police-court, on Saturday, and said he
wished to contradict the statement which had gone forth
to the public that the Mr. Hill who was charged with beg-
ging at this court was formerly the leader of the band at
the Argyll Rooms, Hill never having'been either the leader
of the band or engaged at the rooms. The fact of his being
only a fluto-player incapacitated him from being the leader
of a band. Mr. Knox said he did not think the man stated
himself that ho had been the loader of the band, but the
statement to that effect was made by a Mendicity Society
officer. He had no doubt Mr. Grenet's object would be
served by the statement he had made. Mr. Grenet thanked
the magistrate and retired.

LIFE AND CIVILISATION IN GEORGIA.—A cor-
respondent of the Boston Advertiser, writing from Albany,
Georgia, describes an unpleasant adventure in which he
was a prominent actor. On the evening of his arrival he
was standing on the steps of the hotel, when he writes
—" There came up an ex-rebel colonel and the aouuty
judge. Both were tipsy. The colonel singled me out
perhaps because I was the youngest and smallest of the
party—and asked me to drink with him. I declined. He
pressed his invitation, and the judge joined his impor-
tunity. I declined again and again—telling them that I
never drank, and would not begin now. The colonel
swore that I should drink with them, and threw his arms
around me as I sat in my chair. I rose and disengaged
myself, and stepped into the hotel. He asked each of the
other gentlemen to drink, and each of them also declined.
get my pistol somebody shall drink with me,' he
added with an oath, as he started for his store, five or six
doors away. He means you,' said one of the gentlemen,
as I resumed my seat. I answered that I thought he
wouldn't trouble me. Directly he came out cf the store
with a revolver in his hand, exclaiming. 'Now show me
the man who won't drink with me !' The landlord
seemed to anticipate trouble, for he stepped out and met
the colonel, and persuaded him that some one on the op-
posite side of the street was calling him."

STEALING BOORS THE PROPERTY OF THE SOCIETY FOR
PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE.—Joseph Smith, a
porter, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a
Bible and other property belonging to the Society for Pro-
moting Christian Knowledge.

Mr. J. Russell Endean, manager of the Piccadilly depot
of the Society, said that the present being an unusually
busy time in consequence of parcels being sent into the
country they required an extra hand ; as the man generally
employed was unable to attend he sent the prisoner. On
the 13th inst. three parcels, containing a large Bible, some
glazed pictures, and books, were given to the prisoner to
take to the Charing-cross Railway station. The prisoner
some time afterwards returned with his empty bag, and
perceiving that he had been drinking, he told him that
he would not suit him, to leave the shop, and to send
the man who sent him. The prisoner then left, and
fearing there might be some mistake as to the
delivery of the parcels at the railway station, he sent a
messenger to make inquiries, and he found that no parcels
had been left there. He had also received a letter from a
gentleman in the country, stating that he had not received
the parcels.
The prisoner said he went to the depot the following
morning and told Mr. Endean that he hed been drinking,
and did not know where he left the parcels. He also
offered to pay for the property if he could not find it.
Mr. Endean said the prisoner did come on the following
morning, and went with the messengers to several places
where he pretended he had been to.
Police-constable Charles Butcher, 137 0, said that,
seeing the prisoner in the Regent-circus yesterday after-
noon, he told him that he was going to apprehend him for
a robbery at 48, Piccadilly. The prisoner said he had got
"boozed" (drunk), and did not take the parcels to the rail-
way station, and did not know what he had done with
them, but that he hadbeen to the office and explained all
about them. He had since ascertained that the prisoner
had been employed by a gentleman in Oxford-street to
take a hamper to the Great Eastern Railway station, but
that he had never delivered the hamper, and the prisoner
had only just come out of prison, after six months' im-
prisonment, for a robbery at a railway station.
Mr. John Saunders HolloWay, clerk at the Charing.
cross Railway station, said there was no entry in the
book of three parcels being received at the station.
Mr. Knox said he would remand the prisoner, who
appeared to be a regular thief, for a week.
Sergeant Monckton, a detective at the Charing-cross
Railway station, was in attendance to prove that the pri-
soner had been convicted for stealing 6s. from a person at
the station, lie having taken the money under the pretence
of getting a railway ticket.

PROPOSED COLLECTING LINE.

Yesterday, at the meeting of the vestry of
St. Marylebone, held at the Court-house, Mr.
Churchwarden Poland in the chair, a numerous
deputation of the inhabitants of York-place, Baker-
street, Portman-square, and Orchard-street, pre-
sented a memorial, praying the vestry to co-operate
with them in opposing the bill for constructing a
railway from the Baker-street station of the Metro-
politan line, under the streets specified, to Oxford-
street. The deputation urged that there was no
question of public convenience to justify the vast
amount of injury which such a line would inflict.
The proposed length was about half a mile, which
could be walked in seven and driven over in three
minutes, a space of time that when changes of car-
riages were taken into consideration no railway
could lessen. After some discussion it was resolved
unanimously that the vestry should take the same
course as they did with regard to the Oxford-street
Underground Railway Bill, which was thrown out
in standing orders two Sessions since, to take every
possible step in conjunction with the inhabitants to
oppose the bill of the Metropolitan (collecting lines)
so far as the Baker-street Railway was concerned.

The prisoner is the son of an old parochial watchman,
and on the " watch and ward" of the metropolis being
superseded by the police force of Sir Robert Peel followed
the occupation of a private watchman, and at other times
of a " caller up," or arousing people in the early morn
to attend to their business. The prisoner has fol-
lowed the profession of his late father for some time, and
with tolerable success, for his earOugs from that source

SOUTHWARK.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—Frederick Cooper and John
Tucker were brought before Mr. Woolrych, for final
examination, charged with assaulting Jain Morgan, in
the Westminster-bridge-road, and robbing him of his
watch and chain.

The prosecutor, an elderly man, said that on Saturday
night last he was passing a shop in the Westminster-
bridge-road when the prisoner Cooper came up to him and
asked him to point out to him the way to Westminster-
bridge. Witness was in the act of doing so, when Tucker
and another came up and pushed him. At the same time
Cooper snatched his watch and ran off with it. He was
about to follow him when he was tripped up. As soon as
he recovered himself he pursued him again. He in a short
time saw both prisoners in custody.
In answer to the Magistrate, the prosecutor said he was
not struck by either of the men, but he was pushed and
tripped up. He was positive that Cooper was the man
who snatched his watch, and he believed he passed it to
Tucker.

Police-constable, 95 L, said he was on duty in the West-
winster-road on Saturday night last, when he saw the pri-
soners and another assault the prosecutor, and they all
suddenly ran off. He heard Cooper say to Tucker, " step
it," and they went in different directions. He pursued
Cooper and took him into custody. Tucker was appre-
hended by 97 L. They were searched, but nothing was
found on them. _ .

The prisoners, in the most impudent manner, denied the
charge, when Mr. Woolrych asked what was known of
them ?
Bricklow, a detective officer, said he knew them both
as thieves, and he believed they had been convicted.
Downes, the gaoler, also informed his worship that they
had been there before. . _

Mr. Woolrych asked the prisoners whether they pre-
ferred being tried by him or go to the sessions. If so they
must plead guilty.
Both prisoners pleaded guilty, wishing to have it settled
at once.

31r. Woolrych told them ho bad no doubt they were ex-
pert thieves, and had been previously convicted, but there
was no proof of that before him. He should therefore
sentence each to six months' hard labor in Wandsworth
House of Correction.
London, England, 1865-12-22

without which the national wealth languishes and
the produce of the taxation diminishes.
" They will further willingly give support to all
those measures having,the object of diffusing and
rendering instruction and popular education profit-
able.

"In this way the Italian kingdom will continue
to acquire greater strength and authority both at
home and abroad, and will be able to attain the end
to which it is called by the unanimous voice of the
nation.

" The free institutions which govern it and which
are being in those monarchies which from their con-
stitution appeared to reject them, will secure the
prevalence of that moral force which has already
facilitated in the past, and will in the future facili-
tate the settlement of many questions in Europe.
Italy will certainly be able to derive advantage from
this moral force, which has already been to her of
no slight utility.
"In the contrary case, sire, your will and that
concord of the people and Parliament who trust in
you, will surmount with indomitable constancy the
obstacles that may oppose themselves to our full
sovereignty.

" YOU speak well, sire, in saying that the work
begun should be transmitted complete to our chil-
dren. Ard as in past, so in future dangers, will
Italy rally around the national flag, recording so
many glories, and will worthily respond to your en-
couragement."

DEPREDATIONS BY WAITERS.—WiIIiam Collier, a young
man, was charged with being concerned with others in a
systematic robbery.
Henry Sparks, 186 B.—At a little before one this morn-
ing I was on duty near the Trevor Arms Tavern Music-
ball, Knightsbridge, and on going down a narrow passage
leading to the hall, which is used only for professionals to
enter, I found two bottles full of ale placed against the
wall. As I considered this a very suspicious circumstance
I determined to watch the bottles. Before long the pri-
soner and three other waiters came into the passage, and
I immediately asked them what they did there, and what
had become of the bottles of ale which had been moved.
They said they knew nothing about them. I told them
I would search them all before they left that passage,
upon Ns,hich the prisoner stepped back and put down the
two bottles of ale upon the ground.
Mr. Street, proprietor of the tavern and music-hall in
question, said that there were several waiters employed at,
his establishment, and prisoner was one of them. The
losses by theft had of late been considerable. The waiters
had access to the bar to clear it after the night's work.
The bottled ale was such as he sold.
Sparks said that upon a subsequent examination of the
other side of the passage spoken of, ho found two other
bottles of ale placed in a corner.
Prisoner—l know nothing about the bottles of ale. The
policeman is wrong in saying I ever had them in my hand.
One of the four waiters was called for prisoner, and said
ho could scarcely believe the constable's statement.
Mr. Selfe committed prisoner for trial.
