POLICE IN7ELLIGENCE—This Day.

THAMES.
THE PURSE SWINDLING TRlCK.—David Traylin,
aged 27 ye as, and George Barrett, 21, a sponge
dealer, wen charged before Mr. Paget with causing

an obstruction in Princes-street, Princes-square,
Ratcliff-highway.

Eldred and Newman, constables of the H divi-
sion, said the prisoners were two of those fellows
who attended fairs and races, and pretended to sell
purses with money in them to the assembled spec-
tators who gathered around them, and they had just

commenced operations in Princes-street, with a
large quantity of purses, when the constables inter-
fered, and took them into custody. The officers
produced the purses seized by them, and on being
asked if they had seen the prisoners deposit any
silver in tho purses before they were seize 3, said
they had not; they were too quick upon them.
Many complaints have been made by respectable
inhabitants of St. George-in-the-East to the Com-

missioners of Police of the obstructions, tumults,
and scenes of disorder occasioned by the purse

swindlers.

Mr. Paget said there always would be fools in
the world, and those who gave Gd. each for purses
and expected to find a half-crown or a two-shilling
piece in them must be egregious simpletons.
Eldred and Newman said the purse-trick swind-
lers put a piece of money in the purses before they
sold them, and then twisted and turned them about
and extracted the money before parting with th

purses. Sometimes a confederate would buy a purse,
open it before the gaping throng, atd take out a
half-crown. This would impose on the people and
induce others to stake their sixpences. Last week
a sailor lost his watch while standing in the street
with others looking at the swindlers.
Barrett—People buy the purses in expectation
of getting the money they see put into the purse.
Mr. Paget—Yes, I know they do, and you pre-
tend to sell purses for 6d. each with a half-crown
or florin in them.
Barrett—How can we afford to do that, sir?
Mr. Paget—l know you cannot, you ruu a great
risk of being sent to prison as rogues and vagabonds.
The police-constables in their anxiety to clear the
streets have been a little too fast. The evidence
just stops short of that which would enable me to
send you to prison for three months and to hard
labour. The streets are not to be obstructed by
such vagabonds as you.
The prisoners could assure his " lordship" on
their honour—(laughter)—that they would: not
offend again.
Mr. Paget did not rely on the honour of the
prisoners, but owing to the evidence falling short
he must discharge them.

INDIA.

The Bombay Gazette says that there is some talk of a
anrbar at Poona on the occasion of the Duke of Edin-
burgh's visit. The Maharajah Scindiah of Gwalior is
expected to pay Bombay a visit shortly. The vacancy in
the Madras Council is to be filled up at last. A despatch
has been received from London, appointing Mr. J. D.
Sim, C. 5.1., member of Council. The Home Government
has not, it is said, communicated with the Go-
vernment of India either as to the employment
of Indian officers in Persia, or as to Sir
W. Mansfield's successor in the command-in-chief.
If the sanction of the Government of India can be obtained,
it is expected that the Governor of Madras and his coun-
cillors will pass April, May, and June this year, and three
months every year, on the Ncilgherries. On the retire-
ment of Sir Adam Bittlestone from the bench of the
Madras High Court no one will be appointed in his place,

LIMITED LIABILITY.

The Railway Newt; says it is contemplated on the
part of several legal and mercantile members of Par-
liament to bring forward a bill in the coming session
to amend the Limited Liability Act. What are the
precise reforms contemplated is not stated; but the
projectors have accomplished one step in the way of
amendment : they have found that the law is radi-
cally bad. "At present both debtors and creditors
have reason to complain. Assets are swallowed up
in law and other expenses, and liabilities are greatly
magnified, whilst the final result is not only most
unsatisfactory to both parties immediately concerned,
but they are involved in a tedious, dilatory, expen-
Ivo, and harassing

WOMEN'S SUFFRAGF: MEETING AT BRISTOL.

A women's suffrage meeting has been held at Bris-
tol, to which several men of note sent letters. Tho
most striking of these was from the Bishop of Exeter.
His lordship had been asked to preside, and in
excusin&jiimself from the position of chairman he
°marks : 4.1 wish well to the Women's Suffi:age
ssociation, and hope that your meeting at Bristol
ybe ty success. But I should be very unwilling to

Mr. Mill also wrote wishing success to the meeting ,•
as did also Sir Charles Mike, Mr. Jacob Bright, and
Professor Masson. A resolution was passed express-
ing pleasure at the news "that Mr. Jacob Bright and
Sir Charles W. Dilke, Bart., intend to bring in a bill
to remove the remaining electoral disabilities of
women."

TILE SUEZ CANAL.

At the annual meeting of the Liverpool Chamber
of Commerce, the chairman said that ho had received
letter from an eminent official of the Suez Canal,
informing him that by the middle of the month
the Serape= rock would be cut through
to a depth of twenty-three feet, and that
then there would be that depth throughout
the canal. Mr. S. R. Graves, M.P., said
that in England it was a matter of considerable
moment as to what might be the effect of this new
channel upon her commerce. There was no doubt
that some of the Southern ports of Europe
would benefit largely by being brought so
near to "Western India, and probably there would be
some interference with British trade in consequence ;
but there was no need of alarm at a time when our
maritime supremacy was so conspicuous as at present.
The energy and enterprise of our steam mercantile
navy would fully counterbalance all disadvantages.

BIRMING HAM STEEPLECHASES.

The following anticipations of the Birmingham meeting,
which commences to morrow, are given by a contributor
to the Sportsman :—"The Birmingham Grand Annual is
now generally regarded as a good Grand National
trial race, and it promises to be eminently so on
the present occasion. The racing at Birming-
ham often has an effect on the Grand National
betting, but since Emblem displayed her brilliant
powers here, it has not given us a Liver-
pool winner. This year there has been so much
heavy and puzzling betting on the Grand National
that the quotations from Birmingham will be looked
for with much interest, and as The Lamb was
`brought' here two years ago, everyone will be on
the qui rive for a similar movement: With
regard to the races to be decided, I think that
3n Tuesday the Hunt Cup will fall to Bishopton.
The Hunters' Plate I shall award to Charlie or
Rosary. In the Erdington Plate, Lord Burghersh and
Lord Poulet's best ought to furnish the winner. The
Sutton Handicap should be carried off by Sky Blue or
Meerschaum. On Wednesday the Birmingham Grand
Annual Steeplechase will be run, and as thirty of the fifty-
nine handicapped have accepted, there ought to be a good
field. Amongst the number are several Grand National
candidates. When Gladiateur won the Derby the idea
bacame prevalent that Count Lagrange would be always
winning it. When Mr. Studd won the Grand National
with Salamander, it was considered that nobody had a
chance with him in cross-country events, and if for a
couple of years afterwards he had started a cab horse it
would have beeu first favourite, just as Count Lagrange's
Dragon was backed for the Derby at 7 to 1. Both these
gentlemen are out of fashion just now, but notwithstanding
this I shall go for Mr. Studd's Representative.

FOREIGN NOTES.

THE ArSTRIAN MINISTRY,

The members of the New Ministry of Cisleithan Austria
appeared in the Reichsrath on Thursday, and the Presi-
4ent of the Council, Herr Hasner, explained the political
programme of the Cabinet, which did not differ materially
from the declarations made by the five Ministers who
formed the majority of the former Cabinet. The Govern-
ment, said Herr Hasner, will maintain the Constitution,
but, desiring internal peace, they will conform to the
spirit rather than the letter. It will recognise the
autonomy of the provinces so long as it does not
threaten the cohesion or the power of the State.
It will enforce respect for liberty of conscience, but it
will take care that the interests of religion
are not betrayed. There is;according to Herr Hasner, a
complete unity of views and sentiments among the
members of the new Cabinet and the Government, which
will exert itself to developo the material and intellectual
interests of the country, and will move always in conune-
tion with the Parliament.

PIJ} FENIAN PRISONERS' INQUIRY.

The Amnesty Association has applied to the Sec-
retary of the Treason-Felony Prisoners' Inquiry
Commission to permit some person on behalf of the
friends of the prisoners to be present for the purpose
of offering evidence and putting questions to the wit-
nesses who may be examined. The secretary hass.
stated in reply that the Commissioners, after due
consideration of the proposal, do not consider
their granting such an application would
promote the due investigation of the subject.
They will, however, be ready to receive from the
friends of the prisoners, or any one acting in their
behalf, any statement in writing which may be
thought desirable. Further, if the friends of the
prisoners desire to tender any witnesses for exami-
nation, the commissioners will consider any applica-
tion forwarded to them to that effect. They add
that care will be taken is give due notice to each
prisoner a reasonable time before his examination,
and so to conduct such examination as to enable each
man to give his evidence in the most free and uncon-
strained manner.

THE NEW VACCINATION BILL.

Mr. Candlish's bill for amending the Vaccination
Act of 1867 looks wonderfully like compound-
ing an offence punishable by law. Its prin-
cipal clause is its third one, which provides
that " no more than two orders shall be made under
the 31st section of the Act of 1867 for the vaccina-
tion of any one child." The effect of this clause is
simply to limit the penalties for non-vaccination of any
child to two fines, after the payment of which in any
given case the law will have no further power to en-
force vaccination. This is nothing more nor less than
a sop to anti-vaccination agitators, and is as
illogical as it is undignified. If vaccination be a
right thing, and the State considers the well-being
of society demands its enforcement, the State ought
to have the power of repeating the punishment
until the law is obeyed. If it is not right, let the act
be repealed altogether.'

THE MARKETS.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, MONDAY.—Very little English
wheat was on sale here to-day. For both red and white produce
the trade was firm, but not active, at an advance of 2s. per qr.
The show of foreign wheat was moderate. The demand was
steady, at ls. to 2s. per quarter more money. The market was
moderately supplied with barley. The trade was firm, at im-
proving currencies. Malt was quiet, at late rates. Oats were in
request, and Is. per quarter dearer. Beans and pease rose 2s.
per quarter. Flour was firm. Norfolk rose 2s. and foreign ls.
LONDON PRODUCE MARKETS, MONDAY. —Owing to the
holidays business has been almost entirely suspended in all kinds
of produce. No public sales will be held before the Bth instant,
and the private demand in the meantime will probably be of a
very moderate character for all descriptions. The tallow market,
however, continues firm, at 455. 6d. for Y. C. spot.
METROPOLITAN MEAT MARKET, MoNDAY.—The supply
of meat is moderate. The trade is quiet, as follows :—Beef,
from 3s. 4d. to 4s. Bd. ; mutton, Is. 4d. to ss. ; lamb, 55. Bd. to 6s. 4d.
veal, 4s. 4d. to 58. ; and pork; 3s. Bd. to 6s. Bd. per 81b. by the
carcase.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET, MONDAY.—The cattle
trade has been dull. The supply of beasts has been tolerably
good, both as regards number and condition. Sales have pro-
gressed slowly, at a decline of 2d. per 8113 s. As regards sheep the
supply has been good. The trade has been heavy, and the quo-
tations have given way 2d. per 81bs. Lambs have sold slowly.
Calves and pigs have been depressed. Beasts have sold at from
3s. 2d. to 55.; sheep, 3s. to ss. 24.• lamb, 7s. to 7s. 6d.; calves,
3s. 10d. to ss. 84., and pork, 4s. 6ff. to ss. Bd. per 81bs. to sink
the offal. Total supplies : Beasts, 3,220 ; sheep and lambs, 30,800 ;
calves, 216: and pigs. 120. Foreign.—Beasts, 840 ; sheep and
lambs, 9,530 ; and calves, 204.
- •

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, MONDAY.—This market was
fairly attended to-day. The supply of stock was less than last
Monday. There was a good demand for cattle. Sheep and
lambs at higher prices for each. Beef, 6d to 80. per lb. ;
mutton, 70. to 84d. per lb. ; lamb, 9d to 10. per lb. The number
of cattle at the market was—sheep, 1,190 ; lambs, 8,914.
MANCHESTER COTTON MARKET, MONDAY.—Owing to the
Whitsuntide holidays, coupled with the line weather, the atten-
dance on 'Change to-day is very meagre, and business is almost
at r standstill. The inquiries making are chiefly for the better
makes of shirtihgs, for the India and China markets. In yarns
there is nothing doing except for pressing home trade wants.
Quotations ate unchanged, but the tone of the market is weaker.

YACHTING.

The channel match of the Royal Thames Yacht Club
was sailed on Saturday from the Lower Hope to Harwich.
Additional interest was given to the meeting of the
Cambria and Egeria by the fact that the new schooner
Gwendolin, although not in the match, accom-
panied the yachts, and tried her best in order to
get into trim. She certainly did not seem likely
to distinguish herself in light winds, but what she could
do with the Egeria in a fair sailing breeze one had no op-
portunity of judging, as the Gwendolin got ashore on the
Nore Sand, and remained there half an hour. The match
altogether was not a satisfactory one, as there was very
little wind during the first and last parts of the match.
In the race the Cambria was regularly vanquished.
Passing the Mouse Light the Fiona was first, Egeria
second, and Mr. Ashbury's yacht a long way in the rear,
and this order was kept till the close of the contest. The
Fiona. was declared the winner of the £6O Cup, and the
Egeria of the £4O.

OCEAN TELEGRAPHY.

Just as the last of the ocean telegraph projects, con-
necting the United States with South America and Europe
by the Atlantic coast, is completed, Mr. Field is on the
war-path again as the pioneer of a scheme more wonderful
than any that has gone before it. His plan is to lay a
cable from San Francisco to Shanghai, by way either of
the Hawaiian Islands on the south, or of the Aleutian
Islands on the north, as i shall he determined hereafter;
and he is said to have rec I ved already much encourage-
ment touching the feas Way of the enterprise. The
shorter submarine route is that proceeding from
San Francisco, which tending northward takes the
circuit of the Aleutian Islands. These Islands, a
little above the fiftieth parallel, stretch nearly
across the sea to Kamtchatka, and would thus afford
convenient resting 'places as well as a shorter submarine
route. The path by way of the Sandwich Islands, how-
ever, appears to be, for several reasons, especially of a
commercial character, in greater favour than the
northern course. By the southern course the entire
length
.of cable would be upwards of nine thousand
miles, the longest stretch, unbroken, from the Midway
Islands to Yokohama, being about twenty two hundred
miles. Mr. Field is in Washington withhis enterprise, and,
according to one of the papers there, has won the Pre-
sident's approval, with the condition that he shall ask
for no land subsidies from the Government. The
Chronicle, however, intimates, that the committees who
have heard the case are favourable to money subsidies
in case the work is to go on.—Boston Advertiser.

THE LAST SCENE OF A TRAGEDY.

The. last moments of murderers are not always par-
ticularly edifying, though they exercise such a mar-
vellous fascination over the multitude. It is not very
often, however, that we find an instance of
such hardened recklessness and stolid indifference as in
the case of Bayon, the French murderer, who assas-
sinated a merchant named Lubanski, on the Paris
and Lyons line. The wretched criminal thought, it
appears, that as Lathauvers, the butler, who mur-
dered his mistress, had been reprieved,
his own sentence would be commuted.
But his obstinate refusal to confess his
crime, or to listen to the exhortations of the priest,
survived his conviction that his doom was certain.
He laughed with his keepers at the execution the
night before, and when roused in the morning said,
" All right, I expected it." Later on the priest came to
assist in his preparations, but was thrust aside, Bayou
saying "No, leave me alone, M. le Cure, I have
nothing to tell you." He stoutly refused to enter the
coach provided to take him to the place of execution,
and at last the officers yielded to avoid a struggle.
As they walked through the gates Bayon looked
round at the crowd and- said " Well, why do
you not come on ? The sight costs nothing."
During the procession the priest, though unnoticed,
had continued his efforts, but in vain, and the last
words the miserable culprit uttered were addressed
to the patient and pitying minister on seeing him on
the scaffold, " No more here than in the prison."

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS—'Pius MoRNING.

THE DESTRUCTION OF THE BRITISH EMBASSY.

The Tin; e; ,-in v alluding to the disastrous- fire at
Constantinople, anticipates that if the Pera Embassy
oe really no more, future ambassadors will have to
content themselves with a mo:e modest residence. They
'IT"' he, to our thinking, none the less comfortable.
and the influence of England will scarcely suffer
raell in that capital of extravagant palaces. The Am-
ssador has also, it must be remembered, an excellent
n°nse at Therapia, on the BosphOxus, where the Embassy
lithe
goes to reside about this time of the year. It was
"'the tremendous conflagration which destroyed the greater
Part of Pera 39 years ago that the last British Embassy
was destroyed. That fire also swept away numbers of the
tune. It was on the 2d of August, 1831, that a fire began
in a house beyond the Great Burying-ground, at a con-
siderable distance from the town. The wind

CRIME IN LONDON.

It is very deplorable that crime—and that, too, of
the, worst description—has been enormously on
the increase in London and the surrounding towns
within the past few weeks. There are at the present
sessions of the Central Criminal Court no less than

112 prisoners awaiting trial, and among the charges
there are three of wilful murder, and six of attempt-
ing to murder. The Boulton and Park case
will be,
_perhaps, one of the most puzz-
ling • brought before the court. Indeed, it
is thought that the prosecution will ask for a
postponement, and that too, on the ground that suffi-
cient evidence has not been collected. Unusual
interest will be given to the case of the alleged Chel-
sea murderer, by the defence of the prisoner, which
has been taken up by the Society for the
Aholitiao of Capital Punishment, who have,
if .is believed, secured very able counsel.

If the supposed perpetrator of the Denham massacre
could wily have been tried by the London authorities,
the June sessions of the Criminal Court would have
furnished the most replete calendar of horrors ever
yet issued. As it is, one feels inclined to give a large
share of pity to the judge and juries, who will
have to listen to so many tales of villany, heartlessness,
and bloodshed, and witness so many despoilers of
their country's good name.

THE SPANISH CROWN.

Another candidate has disappointed the unhappy
Prim. Marshal Espartero has made his refusal 01
the Spanish crown absolute. He has written to
.
several deputies requesting them to make no further
exertions on his behalf, since, even if the Cortes
elected him, his age, and the distracted
state of parties in Spain, would lead him t°
decline the offer. •It would have been astonishing
indeed, if he had come to any other
decision. What earthly enjoyment can an old man
of eighty, who has spent many years in battles, and;
revolutions, and intrigues, and who now seeks to end
his few remaining days in quietness, derive from the
possession of a crown, which would be nothing snore
than a bauble in the hands of Prim F It is unfortu-
nate, indeed, for the latter personage that he canuoi_t
find a puppet of sufficient respectability ; but though
unfortunate for him, it may be very good for the
Spaniards.

LARGE FIRE AT BRISTOL.

A large fire occurred on the siding of the Great Western
Station, Bristol, early this morning, and caused consider-
able loss. Twenty luggage-trucks were burned, 12 com-
pletely, except the ironwork, and the other eight almost
beyond repair. The trucks were loaded; one contained
about £l,OOO worth of cloth, and all the others contained
valuable property.

THREATENING THE LIFE OF A LONDON

SHIP-OWNER.

Denis O'Brien, of Hobboden, was charged before the
Newport Boi-o' magistrates yesterday, with threatening the

life of John William Michael, shipowner. The
prosecutor had the ship Emma, in Newport
Dock, and the prisoner agreed to discharge her cargo at a
certain rate, he wanted more, which, however, the prose-
cutor refused to give. The defendant addressed him in
the street in violent terms, threatening to trip him
in the dock, and the prisoner was held off from
the prosecutor by a policeman, and was then
taken into custody. The solicitor for the pro-
secutor, who swore he was in fear of his life,
said his client would be satisfied with substantial
bail. The magistrates decided to impose bail accordingly.
Sureties, however, were not forthcoming when the court
rose, but it was understood that they would be pro-
duced.

LORD DERBY AT LIVERPOOL.

Yesterday the Earl of Derby laid the foundation stone
of a new institution, tobe calledthe Stanley Hospital, at the
north end of Liverpool, and later in the day inaugurated
a grand open-air fancy fair and baiaar in aid of the funds
of the institution. During his address at the laying of
the stone, his lordship remarked that all who were in any
doubt as to how to distribute charitable gifts could not
bestow them on objects less likely to be abused
thall hospitals in large communities like that
of Liverpool. Alluding to the causes which pro-
duced accidents and disease, his lordship said that
where drunkenness existed there would always be impro-
vidence, pauperism, and other evils, and although we
might be mending, and he thought upon the whole we were,
he was afraid in England we were still very far from a
temperate people. He acknowledged, however, that great
good was being done on the one hand by sanitary reform,
and on the other by education, and he expressed a confident
hopethat in future wealthy communities like that of Liver-
pool would be found equal to the charitable demands
made upon them.

MONOMANIA.

Yesterday (Monday) before the Mayor of Newport and
Mr. William Evans, Hannah Rees, a domestic servant,
was charged with stealing fifteen bottles of wine, the pro-
perty of her master. It appeared that the prosecutor de-
tected the theft through seeing the prisoner taking upstairs
a coffee pot filled with some wine. On searching her bedroom
the number of bottles mentioned were discovered. The
prisoner was then given in custody. At the police-station
she complained of illness. Dr. Davis was called, and
ordered her to the hospital. She was conveyed in a cab,
but before reaching the hospital she gave birth to a child.
Dr. Davis gave his opinion that she was suffering
from monomania arising from pregnancy. The prosecutor
subsequently appeared in court, and said he thought the
accused had suffered enough, and he wished to withdraw
the charge. The prisoner had been in his service only
two months. The prosecutor's application was granted
in consideration of the medical opinion. The birth was
premature.

The Great Eastern arrived at Falmouth yesterday
morning, and is now lying at anchor near Pendennis
Castle.
A telegram from Llangollen says ?—" Joseph Watkins,

The dead body of a working millwright belonging t)
Alloa, was found floating seawards in the Forth, three
miles below Stirling yesterday. It is not known how the
deceased got into the water. He leaves a widow and 12
children.
At the Leicester Town-hall, yesterday, Mary Thompson,

keeper of a house of ill-fame in an extensive way, was
fined in the full penalty of £2O for selling champagne.
She was also fined in the unmitigated penalty of
£5O for selling a glass of brandy without a license
to Thomas Langdale, who visited her house under
instructions from the Inland Revenue officers, on Sunday
night May 15. The mayor, George Stevenson, Esq., and
the other magistrates on the bench, were so disgusted
with the facts revealed that they decided not to recom-
mend the reduction of the fines, which were immediately
paid.

YACHTING.

The channel match of the Royal Thames Yacht Club
was sailed on Saturday from the Lower Hope to Harwich.
Additional interest was given to the meeting of the
Cambria and Egeria by the fact that the new schooner
Gwendolin, although not in the match, accom-
panied the yachts, and tried her best in order to
get into trim. She certainly did not seem likely
to distinguish herself in light winds, but what she could
do with the Egeria in a fair sailing breeze one had no op-
portunity of judging, as the Gwendolin got ashore on the
Note Sand, and remained there half an hour. The match
altogether was not a satisfactory one, as there was very
little wind during the first and last parts of the match.
In the race the Cambria was regularly vanquished.
Passing the Mouse Light the Fiona was first, Egeria
second, and Mr. Ashbury's yacht a long way in the rear,
and this order was kept till the close of the contest. The
Fiona was declared the winner of the £6O Cup, and the
Egeria of the £4O.

requiring care instead of extravagance in the details of its

THE NEW LIB ER A L CLUB.

The preliminary arrangements for establishing a
Junior Reform Club are now understood to be com-
pleted, and it is confidently believed that a large
number of aspirants for admission to Mr. Gladstone's
new stronghold will. be immediately forthcoming on
the opening of the building, It is said that the
Conservative Club is also contemplating the insti-
tution of another satellite; and the apparent deter-

mination of both. parties to cariy on a con-
test by meeting clubhouse with clubhouse,
is fao loss nn evidence. of the prudent and
wise plans of the political leaders, than of the desire
of the gentry of England to respect and rally round
the first men of their party as best they may be able.
Unlike the clubs under the Georges, which were aris-
tocratic gaming houses, rather than political arenas, the
clubs of the last forty years have well served the pur-
poses for which they were instituted. The necessity
of dealing indirectly as well as directly with one's
parliamentary supporters has acted most beneficially
in the interests of the country, and the day is pro-
bably very far distant now when the " Reforms" and
" Carhops " will cease to be indispensable adjuncts
to the English system of Government.

THE IMPROVEMENT IN TRADE.

It is not, perhaps, known that large numbers of
the unemployed of London have within the past few
weeks been drafted to Middlesborough and the other
iron districts in the North of England. The demand
for labour has become greater than the various
localities referred to can meet, and they accordingly
have extended already more help to the poor
of the metropolis than all the emigration
societies who have been so charitably
assisting artizans and their families to get to
Canada. The cause of all this is the ex tranrdinary revival
of the iron industry of England, which is said never
to have had brighter prospects before it than now.
The mills and puddling furnaces at Cleveland, Lan-
cashire, Wolverhampton, and Middlesborough, are
all in active operation, and the orders at these places
from Russia, the United States, India, and the
colonies extend into next year. This news must be
very gladdening to Englishmen, especially to busi-
ness men, who will hail with delight any sign of in-
' vigoration in trade. It is only to be hoped that the
toiling operatives may, after their sore time of dis-
tress, be allowed fair play, and that the improved
*circumstances of the labour market will be allowed
to benefit alike employers and employed.

THE POLICE AND THE PUBLIC.

"An Unbiassed Man " relates an incident of
which he states he was an eye witness, and which
adds another to the numerous instances lately re-
corded of brutal conduct on the part of the police. He
says he was walking along Regent-street with a friend
when two policemen came up and seized hold of a
young man and young woman who were talk-
ing. The constables, having obtained firm
" grips," shook their victims, flung them against
the shutters, and threw them upon the pavement
by turns. They were then dragged round Fouberts
Place towards Marlborough Police-court. The wit-
ness and his friend followed with a view of giving
evidence, but suddenly, to their surprise, they
found that the prisoners were released. On
speaking to the policemen one of them made an alle-
gation against the prisoner, which the witness states
he can declare on oath was false. The treatment of
the two persons by the officers, he adds, was inhuman
and ruffianly. This is certainly an extraordinary
story, and one that should be verified before the
police authorities.
