POLICE-THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH 'STREET, THIS DAY.

A THIEF AT THE HANOVER. SQUIRE Rooms—AT-
TEMPT TO Ro►l A LADY.—Wm. Mortimer, a stylishly-
dressed 3 oung man, was charged with attempting to rob
Mrs. Emily James, the wife of Mr. Edward James, the
proprietor of Morley's Hotel, and residing at 11, New
Finchley-road, St. John's-wood, while at Mr. Henry
Leslie's concert at the Hanover-square Rooms.
Mre. James said she was at the concert of Mr. Henry
Leslie at the Hanover-square Rooms the previous night;
while leaving the concert-room the prisoner and two other
men pushed rudely against her, and she then felt the pri-
soner's hand in her pocket, Feeling frightened she
screamed out, and prisoner then said it was a mistake, and
was given into custody.

Mr. James cmfirmed a portion of Mrs. James's evidence,
and said that on another lady complaining that a man had
put his hand in her pockat, and a gentleman stating that
he had been robbed of £7 at a former concert, Mr. Leslie
said he should feel personally obliged if ho would pro-
secute.

Sergeant Dodswortb, 24 C, said the prisoner told him
that he was waiting for Mr. Johnson, and that he had
bought a half. crown ticket at the table in the hall, but Mr.
Leslie denied this, stating that no half-crown tickets were
sold there that night. He found three sovereigns and a
cameo pin on the prisoner, who also gave a false address.
Mr. Knox said he had no doubt there would be a fertile
crop of such fellows as the prisoner just now, and committed
him for three months.

2EE BRIGII2 ON REVIEW.

MEMORANDUM.

War Office, April 30, 18G2.
The accompanying report from Gen. Lord Clyde
on the Volunteer Review et Brighton, on Easter
Monday, has been forwarded by his Royal Highness
the General Commanding-in-Chief, to the Secretary
of State for War, who has received with pleasure
this testimony to the efficiency of the different corps
who took part in the movements on that day.
Secretary Sir G. Lewis has much satisfaction .in
communicating Lord Clyde's report to the officers
commanding the volunteer corps who were present
at the review, and requests them to express to the
officers, non-commissioned officers, and members of
the corps under their command, his gratification at
learning that they obtained on that occasion the
marked approval of the distinguished general by
whom they were commanded.
DE GREY AND RIPON.
The Officer Commanding - Volunteer ~

(Copy.)
London, April 24, 1862.
Sir,-1 have the honour to report to you, for the
information of his Royal Highness the General
Commanding-in-Chief, and the Right Hon. the
Secretary of State for War, that, according to his
Royal Highness's commands, I proceeded to the
Brighton Race-course on Monday, the 21st inst., to
superintend the review of volunteers which took
place at that station. The accompanying statement
gives a detail of the force, amounting to 20,000 men.
By the excellent arrangements made by Colonel
M'Murdo with the railway companies, aided by
the punctuality and order of the volunteers them-
selves, the whole of this large force, portions of
which came from distant districts, arrived at the
times appointed, and immediately proceeded with
perfect regularity to their several places of rendez-
vous, where the companies were told off, and the
battalions formed for drill and manoeuvre.

They then marched to a part of the Down near

he Race-course, called White Hawk Down, where
,hey formed in a line of contiguous quarter-distance
columns at about half-past one o'clock, the artillery
and cavalry forming a second line.
As it was very desirable that the various corps of
volunteers should be enabled to get home at as early
an hour as possible my inspection of them in review
order was necessarily very short, and after riding
down the front of the lines the marching past in
open column at once commenced ; and, on the whole,
was admirably performed ; showing what pains
must have been taken by the officers, non-commis-
sioned officers, and men to arrive at the high degree
of efficiency which they had attained.
The marching past was followed by some simple
maneauvres adapted to the formation of the ground,
and intentionally within view of the Race-stand,
around which the spectators were assembled.
The few movements that were executed had no
other object than to practise the volunteer brigades
and battalions in charging position and working
together in a large body.
About half-past 5 o'clock I put an end to these
movements in order that the troops might be in
good time at the railway station, to which they
marched at once, in admirable order, and I under-
stand that all were forwarded to their destinations
without accident or serious impediment.
I must again observe how much credit is due in
this respect, and in everything else belonging to the
day's proceedings, to Col. M'Murdo and his staff;
but even these exertions must have failed had not
the volunteers of all ranks been animated by the fine
spirit which must have been so gratifying to every
one to witness ; and the able manner in which,
generally speaking, they were commanded, and the
intelligent ready .way in which they obeyed the
orders they received from their commanders suffi-
ciently proved how zealously and successfully com-
manding officers, as well as the officers, non-com-
sioned officers, and men, have applied themselves to
the patriotic object they all have in view —I have
the honour to be, sir, your faithful and obedient
servant, (Signed) CLYDE, General.

Adjutant-General Horse Guards.

A Dorking correspondent writes, under Friday's
date :—Dr. Bernard, the proscrit concerned in the Orsini
plot, buying displayed an aberration of mind, was last night
lodged in the Dorking police station, and was this day taken
before H. T. Hope, Esq., and I. A. Gordon, Esq., two jus-
tices of the Dorking divison, and by them consigned to
Wandsworth lunatic asylum, Mr. Alsop (who has resided
here for some time), a French gentleman, and Mr. Detmole,
resident, to whose children the doctor has recently acted as
French tutor, applied, it appears, to have the doctor con-
signed to their care, but the request was not acceded to.
ANECDOTE OF SIR ROBERT PEEL in 1848.
" The writer of these pages was sitting by the side of the
late Mr. Hume when the tidings reached their bench. Sir
Robert Peel was on the opposite front seat, alone, his
powerful party having been broken and scattered by his
great measure of Corn Law Repeal. 'l'll go and tell Sir
Robert the news,' exclaimed Mr. Hume, and stepping across
the floor, he seated himself by his side and communicated
the startling intelligence. On returning to his place, he
repeated, in the following words, the commentary of the
ex-Minister This comes of trying to carry on a Govern-
ment by means of a mere majcrity of a chamber, without
regard to the opinion out of doors. It is what these people
(pointing with his thumb over his shoulder to the protec-
tionists behind him) wished me to do, but I refused."—
Mr. Cobden's new pamphlet on "The Three Crises."
HORSE POISONING.--A strange case of horse
poisoning has been investigated by the magistrates sitting
in petty sessions at Driffield. A Norfolk man named Robt.
Foker, who had been engaged as waggoner to Mr. Richard
Hornby, farmer, of Driffield \Vold, appears to have been
influenced by a dangerous mania—too common amongst
the agricultural labourers of some districts—for forcing the
condition of horses placed under his charge. One result of
his efforts in this direction was the sudden death a few days
ago of two of his master's horses, and the narrow escape
of a third, while engaged in their ordinary work in the
field. The prisoner was suspected of poisoning the animals,
and he was taken into custody. The evidence against him
clearly established the fact that he had been in the regular
habit of mixing arsenic with the food of the horses, and
had thus caused the death of two of them; but it also at
the same time left no doubt that the deluded man had no
malicious object, his intention having been simply, as he
had expressed himself to another labourer, to " hg" some
flesh on. This infatuation lost to Mr. Hornby £6O, the
value of the deceased animals, and the magistrates inflicted
upon Foker three months' imprisonment.—Biriningham
Daily .Post.
THE FINANCIAL YEAR.—The public income of
the financial year 1861-2 was made up thus :—Customs and
Excise, £42,006,000; property-tax, land and assessed taxes,
and stamps, £22,115,245; Post-office, £3,510,000; miscella-
neous, £2.042,534—making a total of £69,674,479. This
was was only £BOO,OOO less than the receipt of the previous
year, though we had parted with one penny income-tax for
threa-quarters of the latter year, the paper duty for six
months, and the special receipt from the malt credit. The
expenditure of 1861-62 consisted of £26,142,606 for the in-
terest of the debt ; £28,168,911 for the army and navy ;
£9,930,036 for civil charges; and 5,591,501 for charges of
collection and Post-office packet service—making together
£69,833,054. But to this must be added a special demand
for £1,230,000 for naval and military operations in China,
and £53,431 for extraordinary expenses of the late Russian
war, bringing the whole expenditure up to £71,116,485,and
leaving a deficiency of £1,442,006. In addition to this a sum
of £970,000 was raised in order to be expended on fortifica-
tions. The mode adopted for raising this sum was by the
creation of terminable annuities to the amount of £61,845,
which will be paYable until 1885. The balance in the Ex-
chequer at the end of the year was £5,288,675, which was
£1,383,457 less than at the beginning.

A STRANGE CONVERSION.—St.John's Episcopal
Chapel, London-road, Southwark, which for some years
was under the direction of the Rev. William Cadman, now
rector of Trinity Church, St. Marylebone, and more re-
cently under the care of the Rev. Dr. Hugh Allen, rector
of St. George the Martyr, has entirely lost its ecclesiastical
character. It has within the last few weeks been turned
into " The South London ironmongery warehouses and
show-rooms."

The history of the Shoe-Black Brigade encou-
rages us to anticipate a great success. Since it was este..
blidled, the London shoe-blacks have earned X 11,955 ; and
the united earnings for the last financial year amounted to
£4,548, a sum which represents the polishing of no less than
1,119,320 pairs of boots. In the collection of rags and other
refuse there is a wide and valuable field of industry, and both
paper-makers and philanthropists have the deepest interest
in the prosperity of this new ragman's roll.:—Once a Week.
_Without being sensitive

of

power, Od (if the discovery be made), without pretending
to see in utter darkness, to perceive that our friend's hands
and heads are phosphorescent, to distinguish the north
from the south pole of a magnet by the touch only, to
behold luminous clouds emanate from a bell as long as
it is kept ringing, with the rest of the catalogue
of odic impressions—many persons are able to divine the
state of things around them by their feelings. The im-
pression of season and of weather is particularly lasting.
A bright Spring day never comes to greet you without being
accompanied by a tail of memories of the spring days of
other times and localities; how you looked over the preci-
pice on the Island of Capri, whence Tiberius tossed his dis-
honoured victims; how you gathered bouquets of vernal
squills in the chesnut groves of Tuscany; how you awoke
to the sounds of curious chimes as the sun rose over Bel-
gian cities ; how the salmon in highland streams refused
your ill-thrown fly, and what an electric shock it gave you
to feel you had hooked a fish at last. On no stronger thread
than an April breeze, may hundreds of such pearlsLbe
strung.—Dickens "Add the Year Round."
