quiet up to the present, but a disturbance is more

A GOTERNMENT CLERK CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING A
CONSTABLE.— Jam( s Robinson, describing himself as an
Admiralty clerk, was charged before Mr. Tyr whitt with
being drunk and disorderly and assaulting Police-constable
Fish, 42 C R.

The constable said that on Saturday night, about nino
o'clock, ho was on duty in Leicester-square, and seeing a
crowd of persons assembled at the door of the Hotel de
Provence, he went up to ascertain the cause, and found
the prisoner, who was drunk, trying to force his way
into the hotel, and the waiters trying to keep him our. As
a great disturbance was being caused he requested the
prisoner to go away, but instead of doing so ho struck
him in the eye. Two other conFtables having been fetched
by a gentleman, the prisoner was talon to the station,
where he abused the police and called them scoundrels.
The prisoner Faid ho deeply regretted what had co-
curred, and would like to compensate the constable.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he was not permitted to allow such a
thing, unfortunate constables not being suffered to receive
anything, although be thought that would -often be the
best way of settling such cases. The prisoner would have
to pay a line of 40s. or a mouth.

DAL\ LESS and PRACTICAL DENTISTRY,
.It. by •Mr. B. L. MOSELY, the Dentist by special appoint-
ment, 312, REGENT-STREET, exactly opposite the tioyal
Polytechnic, and 23, MOM:GATE-STREET, CITY. Es-ab-
lished 1820. This, the most perfected system of ptin-
less dentistry, originated and invented by Mr. R. L
Mosely, is recommended by the Hospitals and adopted
by the profession as one of the greatest improvements
of the age for the alleviation of pain and restoration
of the natural function; can solely be obtained in such
perfected success (the result of forty years' practical
experience) at his only residences, as above. Tho su-
perlative excellence of this system is perfect, immunity
from pain, no operations, stumps, and decayed teeth ren-
dered useful, loose teat: and tender gums protected.
Qualitiee : These teeth never change colour or decay—in
fit unerring—ease and comfort unsurpassed—detection
impossible—the facial anatomy faithfully studied—and
youthful appearance restored—mastication and articulation
guaranteed. The " Times" of March 6 says :—"So good
an imitation becomes the next best thing to the original."
Teeth from 55.; sot; 5 to 30 guineas. Consultation
free.—Only addresses, 312, Regent-street, exactly facing
the Royal Polyteelfnic; and 23, Moorgate-street, E C.,

ROUMANIA.

The inhabitants of the Danubian Principalities are
anxious to change the name of their country into the
simpler and more national appellation of Roumania.
There seems to be no possible objection to its substitution
for the unwieldly formula of the United Principalities of
the Danube, and we find that Austria has already given
her consent to the change, and has advised the Porte. to
accept the-new title. One of the principal difficulties of
the Cabinet of Bucharest is the' question of the Jews,
which has given rise to a very stormy debate in the Cham-
ber. The Roumanians regard the increasing numbers
of the Jews with as much displeasure as the
Australian- settlers formerly looked upon the Chinese,
and they are anxious that ,the Government should
take active steps to retard the invasion. The Government
have very decidedly refused to do this, declaring that the
Chamber itself must take the initiative in such a measure,
since the Ministry neither could nor would do so.

ITEMS OF SERVICE NEWS.

The items of service news this week are exceed-
i.igly scarce. Perhaps the most important is the
announcement made by the Army and Navy Gazette
that the long-expected scheme of naval retirement
has received the last corrections of its author, and
now awaits only the customary formalities before it
is made public. Our contemporary believes that, in
regard to this measure, there has been a desire on the
part of the Admiralty not only to satisfy the service,
but to do justice to the country.—ln Army matters
the most noticeable announcements are that recruit-
ing has to a great extent been stopped. No more
staff officers of pensioners are for a time to be ap-
pointed.—A system of torpedoes is being arranged
under order from -the authorities by "some of our
most experienced officers." Admiral Sir Watkin
Owen Pell having been on the retired list, no vacancy
is caused by his death. The naval victualling de-
partment is just removed from Somerset House to
Whitehall.

NOMINATION DAY AT LONGFORD.

The mob at Longford on the last day •of the
year shewed that they understood the whole art of
managing nominations. The uproar was so great that
nobody could hear a word of the speeches, and the
show of hands proved nothing, save that, being in
favour of Mr. Greville Nugent, the Liberal, it showed
that the intimidation of the Fenian element was less
effective than in Tipperary. But what can be. the
use of a ceremony which affords a crowd the oppor-
tunity of making unlimited disturbance, confines the
doings of the candidates to dumb show, and ends in
the reading of the Riot Act? If anything were
needed to demonstrate the utter uselessness, and
worse, of the nomination farce, these Irish elections
certainly supply the required testimony.
This is not the first time the county of Longford
has distinguished itself for rioting at elections. The
Daily News points out that similar scenes as occurred
on Friday were witnessed at the last contested elec-
tion which. took place in the county. This was in
March, 1862, when Major O'Reilly defeated Colonel
Luke White on his appointment to a Lordship of the
Treasury. The attention of the House of Commons
was afterwards drawn to the violence by which this
election was characterised.. _ _ _ .

The Irish " national" papers are chiefly occupied
with this contest, and denounce " clerical spoon-
feeding" in political matters. The Weekly Xen-3
suggests as a motto for the polling on Tuesday next,
" fespectyour clergy: but love your country, and vote
for John Martin." The Irishman and the -Flay write
in the same strain, of the influence of the priesthood
in the election. "A change fro►n landlord tyranny to
clerical despotism," says the Irishman, "is not
desirable." The supporters of Mr. Greville are con-
fluent of success.

GERMAN CONVENTS.

The report of the Commission on Convents has just
been published at Berlin. The Commission considers
that it is the duty of the Government to apply to religions
societies and congregations the same restrictions imposed
by law on other incorporated societies. The Commis-
sioners also advise the Government not to grant rights
of corporation to orphanages, hospitals, and edu-
cational establishments founded by religions societies,
so that by means of strict surveillance the direction or
administration of such establishments by members of
religious orders may be prevented.
London, England, 1870-01-03

END OF THE BANKRUPT MILLENNIUM,

The bankrupt millennium closed amid a scene
of remarkable excitement on Friday. The last
day on which debtors could of their own
will seek the assistance of the court was
marked by a frantic rush to take advantage of the
boon. Three. hundred 'petitions were filed at
Basinghall-street. The crowd was so great that
many unfortunates dreaded being left out in the cold,
and as hour after hour passed away, the excitement
became feverish. Charges were made upon the
doors, and ultimately some of the parties anxious to
"get through " sought to (rain admission by the
windows. Inside, the membersn of the bar and the
solicitors practising in the court paid a farewell com-
pliment to Mr. Commissioner Winslow, after the hard
day's work was over. Mr. Lawrence, on behalf of the
solicitors, expressed the opinion that it was a lament-
able waste of judicial power to deprive the principal
commercial tribunal of the country of Mr. Winslow's
services. The learned Commissioner has officiated in
the court for twenty-eight years. Similar farewell
addresses were given in the country courts. "ie
number of petitions presented during the month of
December has been more than twice as great as in
the corresponding period of 1808.

TIIE NEW ACT.
The law of bankruptcy established by the Bank-
ruptcy Act, 1849, and by Lord Westbury's Act of
1861 expired on Friday, and on the following day
commenced t',e new system created by the Act
of last session. The new court will have
to deal with a vast amount of business.
Taking into calculation the number of last exami.
nations and discharges adjourned to a fixed day
or sine die, as at least 500 in each of the courts of the
three late commissioners, this will give a total of 1,500
cases but to this list must be added about 1,200 new
cases, only a few of which have passed beyond the meet-
ing for the choice of assignees. This would give about
2,700 cases to be wound up after the Ist January, 1870.
Besides this, there were at least 16,000 cases of old
bankruptcies in which points may at any moment
arise requiring the determination of the court. The
Chief Judge took his seat on Saturday at Basinghall-
street to determine a few preliminary questions, but it
is not likely that he will occupy his official court in
Lincoln's Inn until the first day of Hilary Term.

THAMES.

A GANG OF YOUNG TIIIEVLS.—Thomas Macarthy, aged
15 years, Ed wart Buckley, 13, Thomas Moore, 15, Thomas
Lanigan, 15, Henry Chandler, 15, and James Sands, 14,
were charged with stealing a clock valued at ss. from the
shop of Mr. John Goldberg, and Joseph Rosenthal, 30, a
clothes dealer in Rosemary-lane, was charged with felo-
niously receiving the clock, he well knowing it to be
stolen. The robbery of the clock, and the sale of it to
Rosenthal, was clearly made out. It also appeared that
Rosenthal gave 2s. for it, which Mr. Charles Young, soli-
citor for Rosenthal, said was a fair plies, and he elicited
from the prosecutor that ho gave 3s. for the clock iu ques-
tion and another. _

The Magistrate said that Rosenthal was a clothes
deAler, and no explanation was given why he was dealing

in clocks.

Mr. Young—He deals in anything and everything,
and drives a bargain when he can.

Police-constable Dunaway, a detective, said he arrested
three of the young thieves in the pit of the Pavilion
Theatre, and the others elsewhere. Lanigan said he
went into the shop and took the clock and gave it to Moore
who handed it to Buckley, and he covered it over with his
coat. Chandler said he was piesent when the clock was
sold, but he had none of the money. Sands said, "Yes,
you did ; you had 31" Chandler said, " No, only 2d., and
and that you owed me."
A witness, who saw the boys sharing the money, said
two of them only had a ld. each.

The clock was found in Rosenthal's shop (produced and
identified).
The prisoners were remanded, and bail was taken for
Rosenthal.

POLISH DANCES.

The Director of Police at Warsaw has put up a notice in
the dancing-rooms, forbidding the repetition of any dance
irhatever. The custom being that Polish and Russian
dances should alternate; the public, composed chiefly of
Poles, were in the habit of encoring the former, especially
the Mazurka, and the authorities have 'construed this prac-
tice into a political manifestation.

NOT A CLEAN SUAVE.

A. "respectably-dre7sed" man' applied on Friday at
the Greenwich Police-court for assistance under
peculiar circumstances. He had been the victim of
a joke, which, though old, never fails to give satis-
faction to its perpetrators. He and four others had
been sp3nding Christmas week in the most approved
style at the house of a friend ; and the other night,
after ho had gone to bed, a barber had been engaged
to shave him on one side of his face, leaving a
_profit-
sion of beard and moustache on the other. It was
impossible, moaned the victim, for him to return to
his employment. .Could he have a summons ? The
advice of the magistrate was not encouraging. He re-
commended that the best thing the complainant could
do was to shave oil the remainin,, hair and make himself
presentable in public. Ile could have his remedy by
civil action against the barber who had disfigured
him. But how about the " friends " who had
engaged the barber ?

THE SPANISH CROWN.

The Politica of Madrid makes the important state-
ment that General Prim has received a written
despatch conveying the King of Italy's refusal to
the proposed election of the Duke of Genoa as
King of Spain, and stating that the Italian
Ministry is unanimons on the point. The Go-
vernment papers, of course, say nothing about
this momentous despatch ; but it is remarkable that
a public announcement of the kind should not have
been mentioned in Reuter's Telegrams. Is the
Spanish Government at its old game of bulling
news?

DISARMAMENT.

Notwithstanding the various denials of the Times',
Berlin correspondent's statement about proposals for
disarmament, that authority still maintains that there
was foundation for his welcome announcement. The
proposition that the great Powers should disarm was
actually made by France, though nothing came of it.
The Berlin Post says that the French Ambassadors
at the different European Courts were instructed to
moot the idea of 'reducing the standing armies;
"We are given to understand that not
only General Fleury, at St. Petersburg, but
also M. Benedetti, at Berlin, have made
confidential communications to this effect.'
The IVeser Zeituny's Berlin correspondent says
that France expressed her readiness to consider pro-
posals. The Golos of St. Petersburg and the Czas of
Cracow speak of the matter in similar terms. The
Times' correspondent adds that General Fleury was
sent as French Ambassador to St. Petersburg for the
express purpose of broaching this disarmament
schenr, as well as to improve the relations between
Russia and France. He failed, however, as the recent
public interchange of courtesies between the Emperor
Alexander and King William sufficiently proves.

INTERNATIONAL YACIIT RACE.

The long dispute between Mr. Bennett, of New
York, aneMr. Ashbury, of Brighton, respecting the
proposed ocean yacht raco has at length been settled
in a sensible manner. An unconditional match
across the Atlantic between Mr. Ashbury's Cambria
and Mr. Bennett's Dauntless has been arranged. The
race is fixed for the -ith of Jule next. Mr. Ashbury
says that on the arrival of the (Jambria in New York
he will endeavour to regain the Cowes Cup won in
1851 by the America, and now held by the New
York Yacht Club as a challenge cup against the
world.

THE HOtSE OP LORDS.

The rumour first given currency in an Trish Con-
servative journal to the effect that Lord Bessborough
has resigned his seat in the Government, is confirmed
by the Pall Mall Gazette. The excuse for this step is
his lordship's failing health, but it is generally
believed that . his resignation is partly due to the
Land Bill about to be introduced. It will be remeru-
bered that the other Liberal whip in . the House of
Lords—Lord Foley—died recently, so that two
vacancies remain to be filled up. It is understood
that the Earl of Cork and the Duke of St. Albans
are to be the new whips.
Although we ifre within five weeks of the meet-
ing of Parliament, the Conservatives are still without
a leader in the Upper Chamber. According to the
Pall Mall Gazette, neither the Duke of Marlborough
nor the Marquis of Salisbury have consented, or
are likely to consent, to lead the Tory peers. Our
contemporary suggests that Lord Cairns should still
b 3 riTognised as leader—if he will consent to continue
in the office. It is well known that he is not alto-
gether acceptable to the party ; but as another great
Irish question has to be settled, the Conservatives
may do worse than discuss it under the direct
guidance of a keen lawyer. The Glole apparently
cnisiders that the new leader is positively chosen,
.for it spoke on Saturday of Lord Derby as the future
head of the Tory party.

DIPLOMACY IN 1822.

A letter from the American statesman, John Quincy
Adams, has been lately published in the United States,
giving an account of the secret negotiations between that
country, Great Britain, and France in 1822 respecting Cuba.
Mr. Adams was Secretary of State under President Monroe
from 1817 to 1825, and was familiar with all the diplomatic
transactions of the period. In 1822, when the Spanish Cortes
was overthrown by the invasion of a French army, the
people of Cuba feared a negro insurrection, and desired a
Protector. One party was in favour of adhering to Spain,
another for obtaining the protectionof Great Britain, and the
third and largest desired annexation to the United States.
This party sent a secret agent to President Monroe pro-
posing that the Cubans should declare the island indepen-
dent of Spain, and that the United States should admit
them to the Union under a Constitution similar to
those of the Southern States of the Union,
with an understanding that the territory should ulti-
mately be divided into two. President Monroe replied
that the friendly relations between Spain and the United
States would not permit him to sanction anyrevolutionary
movement, but if Great Britain or Franco should attempt
to occupy the island, the States might interfere. At the
same time, Mr. Canning, the English Minister proposed
that by a mutual understanding tetween the British,
French, and American Governments, Cuba should
be left in the possession of Spain. This plan
was agreed to by Mr. Monroe. Subsequently the
Cubans made submission to Ferdir.ald, King of Spain, and
tho island was pacified, nothing being known of the nego-
tiations till 1336, when Mr. Adams disclosed the secret.

THE DAILY PAPERS-OLD AND NEW.

The Daily Telegraph,' commenting. upon the decease
of the Morning Herald, remarks that this death of
old journals brings forward the curious fact that,
contrary to expectation, the repeal of the taxes on
knowledge has not increased the number of daily
papers in London. The united circulation of all has,
of course, increased ; but " counting morning and
evening papers together, we believe that fifteen years
ago there were as many distinct newspapers pub-
lished every day in London as there are now." Our
contemporary overlooks the fact that the great change
which has been wrought with respect to the number
of journals haS taken place in the provinces.

CONSTRUING AT THE " TIMES " OFFICE.

The English version of the Latm Sentential Bull,
which was published the other day in the Times,
seems to be a remarkable specimen of Latin con-
struing. Several sentences are converted into utter
nonsense. In one clause suspension is denounced
apinst all who shall presume to receive any degree of
holy orders from heretics, schismatics, excommuni-
cated persons and the like ; but a <<i tinction is
drawn between wilful offenders and those persons
who unwittingly take such ordinations. The Times'
translation gives the denunciation, but omits the
exception, besides blundering in some of the details.
In another part of his rendering, the translator talks
about "those chapters and convents with a church
and a monastery" as if there were chapters and con-
vents without churches: The proper translation is
" chapters and convents of churches and monas-
teries." And so on with much of the rest.

TIIE RED RIVER REBELLION.

The New York papers bring some little intelligence
respecting the Red River rebellion. According to
the latest accounts, Governor M‘Doun•all was enlisting
a body of whites and Indians to attack the rebel posi-
tion, which was defended by 400 men. Governor
MPougall has not called on Canada for troops, but
relies on the loyal people of the territory to quell the
outbreak, and thinks they will do it without blood-
shed.

FOREIGN NOTES.

TIIE CECUMENICAL COUNCIL.

The Times correspondent says that the Council would
do nothing up to Tuesday the twenty-eighth, and after
that day it may possibly have done everything. It will
'proceed to vote upon any number of the proposi-
tions now before it, but it is impossible there can
be any kind of deliberation or any process
like that which is ordinarily carried on at
Council. The Opposition cannot act for various reasons.
and its only strength is derived from the fact that it
represents public opinion. It is said that we must not
criticise Councils, but in this case no consultative opera •
tion at all is going on, and it does not appear
that there will bo any. A man in this Coun-
cil is but a counter in a game, and the
regulation and conduct of the whole affair, fully just,ifics
the saying of our own Church about the Council, that
"some have erred."

The special correipondent of the Spectati». thinks that
the selection for the episcopate of men wanting in bade
pemlence of character has been so carefully made that a sere
majority to the Court of Rome has been securedia the essem
bly. It is, however, significant for the future that the greatest
opposition to Roman despotism has been found among the
French and German nations who aro the most intellectual
a; well ai the most Catholic. Great difficulty exists in
bringing into combination the various elements of opposi-
tion that are disseminated. The bishops laboured under
great disadvantlges for union, owing to diversities of
tongue and of habits. The defection of Schwarzenberg
will probably cause the collapse of the opposition move-
ment, and the Jesuits are likely to have their own way
with the bishops between glittering benefices and specious
promises. The few who do not conform to their require-
ments will remain the proscribed forerunners of opinions
that belong to the future.

RAILWAY PROSPECTS.

Railway affairs are looking up. It is agreed on
every hand that the prospects of almost every species
of property are better now than they have been for
some years past. The Railway News notes that out-
lays of capital—the great drawback to the progress
of almost every company—have well-nigh ceased.
Almost all the leading companies are applying for
power to abandon the construction of lines
which they had previously obtained power
to make, but which, on calm and mature
reflection, are now considered to be unprofitable.
Concurrently with this cessation of capital expendi-
ture is an increase in the gross receipts. In some
cases this advance is very great. Over and above
these influences, is that of better management, less
litigation, and economical improvements in the manu-
facture of railS and carriages. On the whole, the
Railway News thinks the present price of almost all
the leading railway shares below their real value.
Herapath expresses the same opinion.

THE LATE GOLD FIGHT IN NEW YORK.

A writer in Fraser's Magazine, who seems to be well in-
formed, statei that the "Ring" who planned the great
manoeuvre made a great deal of money ; but the greatest
gainer was Mr. Vanderbilt, against whom theirattacks were
largely directed. The various speculators who were engaged
in the desperate struggle offered their railway shares at
any price in order to secure funds. Vanderbilt bought
them.up at low quotations. When the panic ceased, these
.shares rose to a high price, and Vanderbilt cleared a large
fortune. He acquired the mastery of three more railways,
and now owns not lover than six lines— that is, he
possesses so many shares as to be able to control the pr.-
perty at will. _ . . -

GARIBALDI AND TILT 3 ANTI-COUNCIL.

Garibaldi has written an indignant letter respecting the
dissolution of the Neapolitan Anti-Council by the Italian
Government. Garibaldi speaks of the assembly
as "an illustrigus reunion composed of the
heads of human intelligence, whose lights confound
the rogue and the impostor." In conclusion, he says thlt
in the whole course of his life, when he has received a
blow on his shoulders he !ins always endeavoured to return
it in full face, saying, with Alfieri, "What one endures,
one merits." The Constitutionnel comments severely on
this letter, and says that its appeal to violence comes ton
late. The hopes of the " International Committee of Revo-
lution" had some foundation, but now snch menaces are
merely ridiculous.
