R USSIA.

The Gazette de St. Petersbourg publishes the
Imperial notification of the birth of a son to the
Grand Duke Constantine, and of the infant having
received the name of Viatcheslaw. The Emperor's
manifesto says : " Hailing this addition to our° Im-
perial house as a new mark of blessing and consola-
tion that God has given us, we are convinced that
all our faithful subjects will raise with us their
prayers to the Omnipotent for the welfare and
prosperity of the new-born child. We order that
the title of Imperial Highness be given to our well-
beloved nephew, the infant Grand-Duke."

POLAND.

The following telegram from Cracow, of the 19th
inst., appears in the Presse ;—" The administrative
separation of the Kingdom of Poland from the
Russian Empire is decided on. A Russian Cus-
tom-house will be, established at Kowno, and a
Polish Douane at Kribartz ; the Grand Duchy of
Lithuania will not form part of Poland. The de-
termination of restoring to Poland its administra-
tive independence is attributed to the Emperor,
and the Grand Duke Constantine has been ap-
pointed to carry out the plan.
" The declaration of a general amnesty is ex-
pected at Warsaw."

THE IRISH ROMAN CATHOLIC UNI-

VERSITY.

DUBLIN, SUNDAY NIGHT.

The foundation stone of the Roman Catholic
University was laid yesterday. A procession, com-
posed of the trades and Roman Catholic societies,
numbering about 8,000, walked to the site, display-
ing banners and flags,and accompanied by bands.
About 36 Roman Catholic bishops, dressed in their
robes, attended, including several from America and
the colonies. They rode in close carriages. The
M.P.'s present were The O'Donoghue, Major
O'Reilly, Mr. Maguire, and Mr. Lanigan. In
point of number the demonstration was the largest
that has ever taken place in Dublin. The pro-
cession passed off quietly.
A banquet was given in the evening at which
The O'Donoghue, Dr. Nixon, and Major O'Reilly
spoke. " The Pope," was the first toast, and " The
Queen," followed. A meeting is to be held to-
morrow to again agitate the granting of the
charter.

with stealing a gold watch.
She was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment.
STEALING BRASS TAPS.

James Hill pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him
with stealing a quantity of lead pipe and brass taps from a
dwelling house.

He was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment with hard

labour.

STREET ROBBERY.

Thomas Walters pleaded guilty to an indictment charg-
ing him with stealing a watch, the property of a deaf and
dumb gentleman.

. The officer who apprended the prisoner said there were
ten summary convictions in this case.
The prisoner asked the judge to give him another chance.
Sergeant Holmes, of the F division, said he had known
the prisoner for 14 years as the associate of thieves. He
had the prisoner in custody on one occasion, when he was
sentenced to three years' penal servitude.

The learned Judge said it was ridiculous the prisoner
asking for another chance, when the present robbery for
which he was indicted was committed under the very walls
of the Old Bailey. He would not be doing his duty did he
sentence him to a less punishment than ten ytars' penal
servitude.

BILL.

Earl DE GREY presented a petition from Gateshead in
favour of this bill.
Lord TAUNTON having presented petitions to a similar
effect, proceeded to move the second reading of this bill.
He said the subject on which the measure was founded had
lately been so fully discussed in the other house of Parlia-
ment that he need not occupy their lordships by any length-
ened observations. The object of the bill was to relieve
parties taking Government or corporate offices from an oath
which was in the highest degree repugnant to , the
feeling a great body of her Majesty's subjects. It had
been formerly said that the oath was one of the safe•.
guards of the Church of England, but instead of being a
bulwark, he looked upon it as an edifice of sand. The oath
was not required to be taken Ireland, why, therefore, should
it be necessary in England ? Moreover, at the present time,
the oath was quite unnecessary and quite unintelligible ;
and as for any injury following its abolition to the Church
of England, he looked upon that as a circumstance quite im-
possible, for the Church wasnever in a stronger position than
at the present time. With respect tocertain Government of-
fices, an act of indemnity was annually passed to relieve
persons taking those offices from subscribing to this oath,
He felt certain that not the slightest injury would be done
to the Church of England by the passing of this bill, but,
on the contrary, a graceful act would be conferred on those
who dissented from its teaching.
The Duke of MARLBOROUGH opposed the motion.
He did not think that there was any real grievance, and if
th 9 Dissenters were not actuated by hostile feelings
towards the Church of England, they would not object
to take the oath required. The bill was sup-
ported by a society called the Liberation Society, the
avowed of which was to destroy the union which now
existed between Church and State, and therefore he moved
that the bill be read a second time that day six months.
Lord W ODEHOU SE supported the bill,

STRANGE SITUATION FOR A BIRD'S NEST.—Last
year a chaffinch built her nest in one of the uprights of the
stage that surrounded a ship in process of construction in the
building yard of Messrs. Brocklebank at this port. She laid
her eggs, hatched them in due course, and reared her young
brood till they were fledged. The situation of the nest
was within a few feet of where the carpenters were work-
ing daily, but Mrs. Chaffinch felt and looked as much
confl•ience in both men and apprentice lads as if she
knew each had got Shenston's lines by heart, and was re •
solved fo adopt their sentiment:—

I have found out a gift for my fair ;
I have found where the wood pigeons breed :
But let me that plunder forbear,
She will say 'tis a barbarous deed :
For he ne'er could be true, she averred,
Who could rob a poor bird of its young :
And I loved her the more when I heard
Such tenderness fall from her tongue.
And, confiding in their forbearance, she never suffered the
carpenter's operations to ruffle her equanimity a bit. This
year she has returned to the yard, and built her nest inside
a new ship, on one of the stage supports, between the ends
of two planks and under that of another. This time there
is only a thin plank between the workmen's feet and the
nest. Such perfect faith in the better part of human na-
ture surely entitles the little creature to the most loving
protection.— Whitehaven Herald.

also expected to bring some rather large amounts. 1,000

Eight hundred of the French troops from Saigon
are about to leave Hong Kong for Ningpo (it is
supposed), and the probability is that the city will
be taken under allied protection in the same man-
ner as Sharighge, and thus the intimation conveyed
to the insurgents that we meant to protect both
places will be made good. We heir that a thou-
sand of cur own troops are at present on their way
from India, so that decisive action appears to have
been determined on—certainly this is better than

half measures,

ROBBING EMPLOYERS.

John Cooper, carpenter, pleaded guilty to an indictment
charging him with stealing a quantity of property belong-
ing to his employer, William Valentine Wright.
He was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment.
OLD PIORPOCKEIIIi.

Thomas Tomlinson was indicted for stealing a pocket
handkerchief. He pleaded guilty.

One of the warders of the House of Correction said there
were seven previous convictions against the prisoner.
_ _

The learned Judge said the prisoner seemed to think that
he had no chance to escape, so he had pleaded guilty. He
was then sentenced to penal servitude for six years.
Thomas Papworth also pleaded guilty to an indictment
charging him with picking pockets.
The Judge asked how many convictions there were in
this case.

The 'Warder said he had known the prisoner for the last
twelve years, and he had undergone no less than eleven
terms of imprisonment.

The Judge said it would be all nonsense to pass another
term of imprisonment on the prisoner. He should, there-
fore, sentence him to be kept in penal servitude for the term
of 10 years.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

The performance of "Don Giovanni" last night was one
of the most brilliant and successful ever given. The house
was crowded to the ceiling, and the audience was enthu-
siastic. No less than five pieces were redemanded and re-
peated—" La ci darem" (Mademoiselle Patti and M. Faure) ;
" Batti, batti" (Mademoiselle Patti) ; the trio of masks
(Madame Penco, Madame Csillag, and Signer Tamberlik) ;
" Vedrai carino," (Mademoiselle Patti) ; "Il mio tesoro"
(Signor Tamberlik) ; and all the principal singers were re-
called before the curtain after the grand finale of the ball-
scene.

HA Y MARKET 2HEAT.RE.

Last evening a new ballet, entitled " La Contrabandista,"
was produced, in which the fascinating and enchanting
Senora Perea Nena sustained the principal part. The ballet
is a very pretty trifle, and affords ample opportunity for
Miss Fanny Wright and a very talented corps de ballet to
display their talent. The military movements of the pretty
would-be-heros, with Perea Nena as their chief, and Miss
Wright as second in command, were executed with great
spirit, and elicited the loudest applause. The dresses are
exceedingly pretty, and the scenery picturesque.

attraction every evening of representation. This circum-
stance is easily explained, for so cleverly does Mr. Sothern
introduce fresh "wonders" into the part, that a third and
even a fourth sitting to witness the performance is engaged
as if it were the first.
The house was crowded in every part.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA.

The arrival of the new governor, Sir Dominick
Daly, and the departure of his predecessor were the
chief events in South Australia in the month ending
March 26. The Register of that date says:—
The comparative failure of the harvest and the
low price of grain, following upon the unsatisfactory
results of agricultural operations for the last three
years, have dealt a heavy blow to the farming inte-
rest, and rendered things in that direction very
uncertain for the future. Hitherto we have been able
to find a market for the chief portion of our surplus
produce in the neighbouring colony of Victoria ; that
market is now, however, all but closed to us by the
increased production of our neighbours, and prices
have fallen below a remunerative point. By a re-
duction in the price of labour, by the employment of
machinery, and by resorting to better modes of farm-
ing, it is possible that wheat may be grown at a price
that will enable us regularly to export it to the
English market at a profit. If so, the agricultural
interest might be largely extended here. But if not,
then agriculturists will have to turn their attention
to other pursuits, as a very small proportion of our
farming power will be sufficient to produce all the
wheat we require for home consumption. Looking
at the wheat- averages in Great Britain for the last
twenty or thirty years, we are sanguine as to the
result of exporting our breadstuff thence.
Messrs. Hughes and Co.'s Wallaroo and Moonta
Mines on Yorke's Peninsula are turning out large
quanties of ore; and the Cornwall Mining Com-
pany's claims are becoming very productive. The
Bremer Mine, in the Mount Barker District, is also
looking well. Some of the new discoveries in the
north are said to show large quantities of surface
ore, but we are not in a position to give any special
information respecting them. The Burra Burra
and liapunda Mines are working as usual. At the
former, however, the number of hands has been
considerably reduced, in consequence of the large
demand for mining at Wallaroo, and from the deter-
mination of the directors to dispense with all un-
necessary expenditure. We hope, by the end of
the year, the export of copper and copper ore will
show a large increase upon that of any previous
year in the history of the colony.

EXTRAORDIB A

-
Oa Saturday evening Mr. G. S. Brent held an
inquest in the Board-room or Chelsea workhouse on
the body of Andre Auguste Zetterman, 32 years of
age, a Swede, by trade a fancy wood carver, It
appeared that shortly nine o'clock on Tuesday even-
ing, the 29th ult., the deceased, while sm,'lmg a
cigar, fixed himself at the window of a tobacco-
nist's shop, in Sloane-street. There was a woman
sitting in the shop, before whom he grossly misbe-
haved himself. She complained of what had oc-
curred, when he ran away with his clothes in dis-
order. A police constable, 341 B, being on the
spot, chased him, raising a cry of " Stop thief." Ho
ran into Upper George-street, where a young man
named Cullen), seeing him coming along the road,
and hearing 019 cry of "Stop thief," ran into the
road to catch him. 'While behind him he said, "If
you run a mile I'll h.'‘ve you." He put his hand on
the deceased's left ehot:lder. When he did so the
deceased took something ,out of his trousers pocket,
which seemed to Cullen to be a life-preserver, and
as the deceased raised his let arnii and appeared
about to strike him, the latter bobbed his head.
They were still running. At that instant .110 saw
a flash and heard a report, and the man dropp:4
down in the road. It all happened in about two
minutes after he took up the chase. The constable
came up as the man fell. Mr. Geo. Coates, surgeon,
of Westbourne-place, Eaton-square, was speedily
called, and saw the deceased lying on his face in the
road, in a pool of blcod. He was dead. There was
a wound in his chest. His shirt was open, es also
his trousers. A stretcher was sent for, and the
body removed to the police-station, where, upon a
search of the clothing being made, an address was
found, No. 2, Alderman-walk, and bearing the name
as above. The deceased, however, was not known
there. There was a document showing that de-
ceased was a depositor in the Union Bank of Lon-
don to the amount of nearly £l2O, and 114 10s. in
money, A gold watch and appendages were also
found on him, with two bottles of crude opium. It
was ascertained that the deceased had been formerly
convicted of an offence similar to that which had
led to his death. Elizabeth Zetterman, of Wynd-
ham-street, Marylebone-road, identified the body as
that of her husband. She was married to him in
September last, in Paris. They left London for
three dajs for that purpose. She had been in St.
Mary's Hospital for a short time, where he visited
her. The last time was on the Saturday previous
to his death. She used to be afraid of him. He
always carried loaded fire-arms. He was not given
to drink, but smoked oi:ium, and was very nervous
and irritable. Mr. Coates, the surgeon who had
made a post mortem examination, stated that death
had been caused by a rupture of the heart from a
pistol-shot—a rifled bullet. The jury returned a
verdict of "Death from rupture of the heart by
means of a pistol-shot, but whether that shot was
intended for himself or any other person there was
not sufficient evidence before them to show,"

will allow me, through your columns, an opportunity of
explaining how I am situated with respect to them. So.

HAI2IIA_RKET 211EATRE.

Last evening a new ballet, entitled " La Contraband ista,"
was produced, in which the fascinating and enchanting
Senora Perea Nena sustained the principal part. The ballet
is a very pretty trifle, and affords ample opportunity for
Miss Fanny Wright and a very talented corps de ballet to
display their talent. The military movements of the pretty
would-be-heron, with Perea Nena as their chief, and Miss
Wright as second in command, were executed with great
spirit, and elicited the loudest applause. The dresses are
exceedingly pretty, and the scenery picturesque.
Mr. Sothern's Lord Dundreary seems to increase in
attraction every evening of representation. This circum-
stance is easily explained, for so cleverly does Mr. Sothern
introduce fresh "wonders" into the part, that a third and
even a fourth sitting to witness the performance is engaged
as if it were the first.
The house was crowded in every part.

WATCH STEALING.

She was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment,
STEALING BRASS TAPS.

James Hill pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him
with stealing a quantity of lead pipe and brass taps from a
dwelling house.

He was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment with hard
labour.

STREET ROBBERY.

Thomas 'Walters pleaded guilty to an indictment charg-
ing him with stealing a watch, the property of a deaf and
dumb gentleman.

The officer who apprended the prisoner said there were
ten summary convictions in this case.
The prisoner asked the judge to give him another chance.
Sergeant Holmes, of the F division, said he had known
the prisoner for 14 years as the associate of thieves. He
had the prisoner in custody on one occasion, when he was
sentenced to three years' penal servitude.

The learned Judge said it was ridiculous the prisoner
asking for another chance, when the present robbery for
which he was indicted was committed under the very walls
of the Old Bailey. He would not be doing his duty did he
sentence him to a less punishment than ten years' penal
servitude.

TILE IVTERNATIONAL EXHIBMON.

The barometer evidently exercises a very power-
ful influence on the daily attendance of visitors. A
wet day brings the numbers down, and a dull one
outside the building is generally even duller within.
Yesterday the total attendance did not amount to
much more than half of those who ware present on
Saturday, though in proportion to numbers there
were probably more payments at the door. But
both as regards payments and numbers we are
speaking without official data, as there appears to
be no strict record on this subject kept at all. The
elaborate deductions, therefore, which are so often
drawn between the daily attendance at this build-
ing and that of '5l are purely
devoid of foundation as the statements that Mr.
appointed general manager of the
Cole has been imaginary, and as
whole Exhibition building. It is much to be re-
gretted, however, that no official list is issued of the
dailyf ascertaining numbers, and still more that there is no means
o
the proportion of thole who pay to
ltaining
those who enter with season tickets. The very
simple arratigaments necessary to ascertain these
facts easilyhave been made, some time ago.
The Exhibition is now fast assuming its
permanent
aspect. The nave is being cleared ;
mightwhole
flowers and evergreens are planted in the most con-
spicuous spots, and fresh objects of interest are un-
veiled every day. Minton's great fountain—the
porcelain masterpiece of the Ealibi!ion—is bell%
built up rapidly under the eastern dome, the trophy
cases discarded Iran the nave, are new finding
'sew and far more appropriate places in the same
neighbourhood, and the flit spaces leading to
the dais are surra mated on either side by two
of Osler's glass candelabra, very like those
which, if we mistake not, he showed in Paris
in 1855. There Ore symptoms, too, as if the Ca-
nada wood trop}-,Y were about to be reduced in
heiklit, so as to allow Hardmau's stained window
to be seen ; and, ahem() all, there is a pleasant,
lively sound of various nrwical instruments per-
forming in different parts of the building, which,
without interfering with the harmony of each
other, are snrneientlzr audible everywhere to break
the silence that has, hitherto reigned everywhere.
Under the east dome. two interesting models have
been placed, that of tle extraordinary wQb of scaf-
folding by
which the. domes were raised, and of the
