POLICE IN fELLIGENCE.—Tars DAY.

DARING TILL ROBBERY.—Tnomas Williams, a lad of
17, was charged on remand, at the Westminster Police-
court, with stealing £2 4s. 7d., the monies of Thomas Philp,
in his dwelling-house. Mr. Philp is a butcher inthe
King's-
road, Chelsea, and on the morning of the 7th instant the
prisoner came into the shop and asked for a bullock's
bladder, for which the foreman had to go to the back of
the premises ; while gone, the prisone was seen to put his
hand into the silver bowl, and he tried to convey the
stolen money into his coat pocket, but the handful was
so large that he could not do so in time
to prevent Mr. Philp seeing his hand, and
discovering on the arrival of the police that he had £2
4s. 7d. in his hands. At the station £2 50. was found in
his pocket, and a bank book in which he was credited
with £1 10s. His father and mother, creditable people,
now appeared, and the father related that he had just
come from sea, and he would send him back after the
expiration of any sentence passed on him, and he trusted
his worship would take that into consideration. Mr.
Arnold said it was a most daring robbery, and he would
attend to the appeal of the father, and remand the pri-
soner to see if the father could get him a ship He was
remanded accordingly.
CHARGE OF STABBING.—Jane Laws, a staymaker, was
charged, at the Marlborough-street Police-conrt, with
stabbing a tailor, with whom she cohabited, with a pair of
scissors. The prisoner was discharged.

MR. DISRAELI ON THE DISTRIBUTION
OF POLITICAL POWER.

At the annual meeting of the Royal and Central Bucks
Agricultural Association, held yesterday, Mr. Disraeli
replied to the toast of the " House of Lords and Com-
mons." Having referred to the agricultnral prospects of
the county, he proceeded to say : I hardly like to sit down
without making some reference to those topics which so
much occupy the attention of the people of this country
and of Europe at the present moment. We have all wit-
nessed great and strange events of late, and- it is more
than possible—it is probable that we shall all of us wit-
ness, and even perhaps soon, greater and stranger events.
There seems a likelihood that there will be in Europe a
very trying time. I think it may be some consolation to
us that the last forty years of this century have not been
wasted, though there may be differences of opinion upon
a variety of questions which have been discussed, and
which have led to legislation. I think that all im-
partial persons must admit that, on the whole, the pro-
gress of this country during the last forty years
has been decided and considerable. I think it is a
matter of great congratulation at this moment—when
empires vanish and republics arise, and the greatest
changes occur or are threatened in every part
of Europe that three years ago, with, if not
the entire, yet with the very general concurrence
of opinion among sensible men of all sections, and
without any disruption of political Tarties—which I, for
one, look upon as one of the greatest misfortunes which
could happen to England—we did settle the question
of the distribution of political power in this country, on
principles which I believe are firm—(cheers)—and which
at this moment allows every man to feel secure and con-
fident in the political establishments of his country. I
have always felt myself that if England was true to her-
self there was no fear. I believe that England now is true
to herself, and therefore I think great, vast, and startling
as are the changes that even hourly occur, we as English-
men need not be appalled. (Loud cheers.)

THE HEALTH OF THE EMPEROR
NAPOLEON.

The correspondent of the Manchester Examiner.
says :--To great a orange has taken place in
the appearance of Napoleon that he is hardly
recognisable. His face is swollen and of bilious
colour. He is dark about the eyes, which seem to have
no speculation in them. His gait is forced
and mechanical in a word his whole appearance is
such as to produce a painful feeling in
the beholders. He goes to bed late and rises early. The
windows of his bed chamber are often seen lighted at
midnight, and before dawn he is observed walking in the
garden."

The correspondent of the Telegraph says the daily life of
the Emperor Napoleon proceeds with its customary regu-
larity. In the forenoon, between eight and ten, after an
early breakfast, he may be seen as a quiet-looking elderly
gentleman in civilian attire—for he has laid aside his
regimentals—taking his constitutional in an enjoyable
manner. At two o'clock is the luncheon hour, and the dinner
is at eight, when covers are laid for sixteen persons. The
Governor of Cassel, Graf Moats, and the commander
of Wilhehnshohe, Captain von Pupenbrock-Gruiter,
commanding the squadron of hussars stationed at the
place, have seats at the Imperial table reserved for them,
of which they can avail themselves daily. All the
servants engaged in the kitchen, as well as those
whose business it is to wait at table, have been
sent from Berlin. The house steward, under
whose supervision all household details are ar-
ranged, is also from the Prusisan *ital. The
Emperor receives all the outward deference and
respect which Royal etiquette demands. There
is no apparent personal surveillance exercised towards
him. He moves about at his own pleasure, and mostly
without an attendant to remind him of his position.

A SPLENDID MAP OF PARIS has just been issued by Mr.
Wyld, the Royal Geographer. It is brilliantly coloured,
and includes all the important items in regard to the forts
and fortifications. It is fully up to time, and worthy of
the publisher's reputation.
LARGE PURCHASE OF RIFLES FOR FRANC E.=-EXTRA-
ORDINARY CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY.—At the Mansion-
house, Count Ernest de Lusada and Thomas Arthur,
described as a commission agent, were brought up before
the Lord Mayor, in custody of Detective Sergeant
Packman, charged on a warrant with obtaining
from David Forrest two cheques for £lOO and
£9O respectively, with intent to defraud. The
parties had, it was alleged, had negotiations with
reference to the purchase of 800 Enfield rifles, intended
for France. The Lord Mayor discharged the defendants,
but the prosecutor was bound over to appear against the
defendants at the Old Bailey.
