THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 24, 184 S.

any other description of property have been withheld
from the holders of railway stock. The majority of
bankers refuse to make any advance even upon shares
in bond fide dividend-paying lines. They are ac-
cursed things, which must not be meddled with, and
no assistance, however trifling, will be given if it is
suspected that the parties requiring it intend to devote
any portion thereof to the payment of calls.
Bills of the most solvent parties will not be looked at
if suspected of being in any manner connected with
railway dealings or a railway origin. Hence, when
calls are made, which could easily be met at a season
of greater commercial activity, they can only be
provided for by sacrificing a portion of the stock at
far less than its real value, to maintain an interest in
the residue, and frequently such a sacrifice is inade-
quate. The stock cannot be disposed of at any
price, in consequence of the panic excited by the
operations of the " Bears."
Those circumstances must be duly regarded by
the railway interest, and measures adopted to provide
suitable remedies. One of the chief impedi-
ments to successful operations has, we be-
lieve, been recently removed. Amicable re-
lations have been restored between the directors of
the great companies, and there is no longer a proba-
bility of large sums being wasted in useless conflicts
before a Parliamentary Committee, or works of doubt-
ful expediency being undertaken, not on account of
their intrinsic value or the benefits that may be de-
rived from their construction, but merely in order to

prevent a rival company from obtaining a footing in
their territory. Considerable losses have been sus-
tained and difficulties occasioned by this practice, but
it has at length virtually been brought to a conclu-
sion, and there is little prospect of our witnessing a
renewal of the battle of the gauges, or that
a similar amount of the shareholders' money should
again be transferred to the pockets of their legal
advisers.

The curtailment of the Parliamentary and legal
expenses that may be expected from the improved
feeling between the different companies, will at ence
get rid of one of the heaviest outlays which materially
affected the shareholders. It may safely be concluded
that no new undertaking will be projected or carried
into execution unless the beneficial results that may
reasonably be calculated on are of such a character as
to render it manifestly the interest of the share-
sholders that it should be constructed. The
fear, therefore, of new liabilities beyond tite
means of the parties will thus be avoided.
A vague dread of these unknown amounts
has induced many persons to dispose of their shares
at prices which under other circumstances they would
not have thought for a moment of accepting. If the
example set by the directors of the London, Brighton,
and South Coast Railway be generally followed, as
we believe it will be, and that the actual position of
the affairs of the several companies, and the extent of
their present and prcspective liabilities, be fully and
fairly set forth, the alarm would be immediately dis-
sipated and confidence restored. We are convinced
that the true position of any single company is not so
bad as a vague and unfounded terror has ascribed
even to the very best.

An important question—a question involving the
preservation or rupture of European tranquillity—
was discussed on Saturday last in the tribune of the
National Assembly, and elicited in that sitting a
very brilliant oration from the lips of the Historian
of NAPOLEON. The subject of this extraordinary
discussion was one calculated to affect, in a material
degree, the vigour and organization of the army of the
most military people on the face of the globe. It

was nothing less than the practice of reap lacemenc
or substitution, in the working of the great system
of conscription. Upon the settlement of this remark-
able section in the martial code of France is de-
pendent the efficiency of her troops, and con-
sequently the security and stability of the
Republican institutions. As if to add, more-
over, to the exceeding interest of the debate,
the advocates of the contrary opinions—those
who maintained the advisability, and those who in-
sisted upon the evil consequences, of allowing the
citizens to find substitutes when called upon to par-
ticipate in the duties of the soldiery—comprised the
names of men who have a hundred times distinguished
themselves, either theoretically or practically, in the
science of battle, and the art of military organization.

It is a circumstance to which the French Parliamen

whether monarchical or republican, has been long
habituated—to behold M. THIERS discoursing on war
and its exigencies to an auditory among whom are
captains who have grown grey in campaigning, and
whose visages are tawny under the influence of the
march and the bivouac in the arid solitudes of
Algeria. If ADOLPH E THIEES has not experienced
the vicissitudes of the profession, if his very
mannerisms as an orator are indicative of the habits of
the civilian, if he has never donned the uniform
except within the circumference of the boulevards,
when shouldering the musket against the epaulette of
the Garde National, he has been intellectually nur-
tured into a warrior, his imagination has traversed
Europe in the track of the Imperial army, he has,
to employ figuratively one of the most striking pas-
sages in one of the most eloquent proclamations of
the Youthful Conqueror BONAPARTE, " made forced
marches without shoes, crossed rivers without bridges,
captured fortified towns without artillery, and
bivouacked through the refrigerating nights of winter
without bread or brandy." Theoretically M.
Tunas is a soldier, and a soldier remarkable for his
experiences. He has revealed in the closet, if not in

the camp, much of the versatility of the eloquent and
heroic Tacrrus—wielding in turn the sword of the
commander and the pen of the historian.
Speaking then, not certainly ex cathedra, but as-
suredly thistoire a la main, M. THIBAS grappled with
his subject vigorously, notwithstanding the formi-
dable opposition of a SUBERVIE and a LAMORICIERE.
In defiance of all official assertions to the contrary,
he laid down the following very axiomatic
deductions that among those races, such as
the Arabs, where every one is a soldier, the
army consists of nomad and barbarian troops—that
wherever it was the practice with a nation to render
military service compulsory upon every individual,

;hat nation acquired no military distinction—that, on

the contrary, wherever, as in Rome, the military pro-
fession was a speciality, a caste composed of the civil,
rontani, a division distinguishable from all the other
divisions of citizenhip, that nation reaped glory from
victory, and emolument from conquest that in
England, for example, the military profession was a
special profession, rendering the national army so
efficient that its only fault was its want of extension
—that the soldier acquired skill from repetition, and
discipline from habit, quite as much as the mechanic,
the artizan, the sailor, or the agriculturist—and that
all the great captains without exception, NAZ'OLEON,
FREDERICK, TIIRENNE, MONTECIICULLI, and Prince
EUGENE, coincided in regarding long service as essen-
tial for the development of the efficiency and vigour
of an army. In testimony of this, the orator referred
to the capitulation of Baylen, where the unfortunate
General DUPONT, who had proved himself a hero both
an youthacidadditional
argu-
ment, na andl
at Ulm and at Friedland, was paralysed into a dis-
graceful submission in consequenceAsof the
inexperience of his forces.
corroboration of the correctness of his
he reminded the Assembly of the
remark addressed to his Majesty NArOLZON
by Admiral TAIIGUET, " I require old seamen,
while you, people of the earth, with con-
scripts of a few months' enlistment, can gain great
battles I" To which the EMPEROR replied, " Mon.
oieur 1 'Antiral, you know not what you say. . . Yes,
it is true people have declared that six months can
make a soldier, but that is false ; men who say that
know nothing about armies ; soldiers are not made in
six months, neither in nine months. Ah I certes, I
have good soldiers ; but they did not become good
until after six, seven, and even eight years' service."
And further on, as an appropriate corollary to
the foregoing, M. THIERB entertained his auditors
with an anecdote, recounting a remark addressed by
NAPOLEON to his Marshals, when, standing upon the
field of Austerlitz, immediately after the victory of
yilgram, he exclaimed musingly and abstractedly,
" Yes, I have no longer my army of Austerlitz
" Sire," observed one of the officers, interrupting bim
with the respect due to his august position, " Sire,
you have no longer your army of Austerlitz; but are
you not content then with your army of Wagram- ?"
Thus replied the EMPEROR---" Yes, it is heroic,
it has given me proof of its heroism ; but

yet it is not the army of Austerlitz If I had had
the army of Austerlitz at Wagram, the Austrian
monarchy would be no longer in existence, for
there would no longer be an army of Austrians."
And the explication of this memorable remark was
simply the youth and inexperience of the soldiers of
Wagram when contrasted with the veterans who had
fought so gloriously on the day of Austerlitz. Such
is the skeleton, the epitome, the tendency, of the
remarkable oration pronounced by M. THIESS on
Saturday. It_ was a brilliant argument in favour
of a system which, in its best moments, has,
rendered the French soldier the first soldier in the world
" as to vivacity, as to spontaniety, as to military apti-
tude." It is a splendid advocacy of a system which has en-
rolled the names of HOCHE, of KLEBER, of LARNES
side by side with the sons of the aristocracy ; those of
DESAIX, of DAvousT, side by side Iwith the children
of the bourgeoisie ; those of JUNoT, of MARCEAU, of
MYRA?, of MAMMA, of MOREAU And it was a mag-
nificent panegyric upon a system which has secured to
England the glory of her military as well as of her
maritime puissance. Still, in the moment of our egotistic
pleasure while listening to the eulogiums of M.
TIMERS, we must remember that even with ourselves
the system is very far from being perfected; and that
if the profession of arms in England is a profession
as distinct as those of law or medicine, it is still de-
plorably deficient in the great desideratum of edu-
cation.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the French papers of yesterday.

The noble manner in which General CAVAIGNAC
came forward on Saturday in defence of General
LAMORICIENR, and the characteristic and disin-
terested words which he uttered on that occasion,
have won for him " golden opinions from all sorts of
men," and are the subject of eulogistic comment in
almost all the journals. The National gives the fol-
lowing graphic account of this remarkable incident :
" A serious and most unexpected incident sud-
denly interrupted the debate. General Lebreton rose
to speak, and quitting the subject before the As-
sembly, took the liberty of making a most unbe-
coming personal attack en the Minister of War.
After a reply from General Lamoriciere as clear
as it was well expressed, General Cavaignac
ascended the tribune, and with that accent in
which is easily distinguished the warmth of
soul and the nobility of heart, he said, ' Ge-
neral Lebreton, regarding General Lamoriciere with
affectation, spoke of fortune and hazard. General
Lebreton made war in Africa with us, and he knows
better than anybody by what services that man
(pointing to the Minister of War) has succeeded in
arriving where he is. As for my part, if anything
astonishes me, it is to see him in the second rank
whilst I occupy the first.' We should in vain endea-
vour to describe the impression which that generous
speech produced upon the Assembly. It appeared as
if an electric spark had run through all the benches
of the assembly, and caused every soul to beat in
unison. No. Whatever dangers may menace the
Republic, as long as it shall have such noble cha-
racters at its service the Republic cannot perish."

The adjourned debate on the Constitution was
resumed in the sitting of the Assembly yesterday,
and it was supposed that the discussion would be
concluded, and the Constitution passed, before the
conclusion of the sitting. On the 119th Article being
proposed, which enacts that the election of the
President of the Republic shall take place immediately
after the voting of the Constitution, M. Durng, at
the request of the Committee en the Constitution,
moved that the article should be altogether emitted,
thus leaving it to the Assembly to fix, by special
decree, the day when the election is to take place..
The motion was agreed to, and the Committees
ordered to present a decree, in the course of the next
sitting, fixing the day for the election. When the
post left the Assembly was engaged in the discus-
sion of an article proposed by M. PUTSEGUR, to the
effect that the Constitution should be submitted to
the approbation and sanction of the people. There
can be no doubt but that the motion of M. PUTSEGUE
will be rejected by a large majority.

PARIS BOURSE—MONDAY, OCT. 23.
THREE O'CLOCIL.—The accounts received from Vienna
are much more pacific in their character. It appears
probable that there will be no collision between the
people of Vienna and the army. Accounts of the 18th,
from Vienna, are said to have been received by an
eminent banker, which stated that the Bourse opened
that day, and that the metalliques rose two per cent.
These rumours had a favourable effect, and the prices
both of the Rentes and Railway Shares were exceed-
ingly firm all day. In domestic affairs there was no
news of any kind. For the Account, the French Three
per Cents. have advanced 25c., the Five per Cents. 35c.,
and the Loan 25c. For Money, the Three per Cents.
have advanced 20c., the Five per Cents. 40e., and the
Loan 20e. Bons du Tresor are at 22 discount; Bank of
France Shares have advanced 201.; Belgian Bank
Shares are at 645; ditto Five per Cents. are higher;
Spanish Funds nut quoted; Roman have risen per
cent.; Rothschild's Receipts are at 791. Exchange on
London (30 days), 25 45; ditto (90 days), 25 271.
Railway Shares for the Account, settling of the 31st of
October:—Orleans have risen 71. 50c. ; Northerns,
If. 25c.; and Strasburgs, If. 25c. The others not quoted.
For Money, Orleans have risen 15f., Rouens 10f., Bor-
deaux and Northerns 2f. 50c., Versailles (Left Bank),
Havres, and Strasburgs, lf. 25c. each. Marseilles have
declined 5f., and Nantes If. 25c. Lyons are the same
as on Saturday.

m ournful silence, although the military occasionally
se ,t the example of cheering. The day before
ti le arrival of the EMPEROR the National Guards of
Olmutz got up a requisition, declaring their adhesion
tc, the cause of the Diet, and several students had set
off armed to go its assistance, but were stopped at
the railway by the troops of the EMPEROR. All the
stations from Olmutz to Vienna, and from Olmutz to
Prague, are occupied by the soldiers of WINDISCH.•
G RATZ. The EMPEROR is, it is said, inclined to en•
tertain the proposal of the Deputy Boßaoscii, to call
et National Congress at Vienna for the adjustment of
the national differences.

It is supposed that very shortly an army of
:0,000 men will be concentrated under the command
(lA* WINDISCHGRATZ, in the neighbourhood of Vienna;
'but the probability is that instead of attacking the
Viennese they will attack one another. Thee Czechs
tvillhardly be content to obey WINI.MRGRATZ, who so
Irecently bombarded their capital, Prague. The Poles of
Galicia and of Cracow will scarcely fight for an
EMPEROR who not two years since caused to be
organized in their country a series of the most atro-
cious murders that were ever committed. The
Italians most assuredly will not draw sword in the
(muse of the master of RADETZKT, and the Germans
will not aid an unprincipled Camarillo in its endea-
vours to subject one of the fairest portions of Alle-
mania to the dominion of hordes of plundering
Croats. The beginning of the end is already per-
ceptible. A letter from Prague of the 16th Oct.
says—" Twenty-two thousand men and six batteries
rare to be dispatched to Vienna. The soldiers mani-
test displeasure in marching for a civil war, and the
•Grenadiers, who are not liked, had been ordered on
quitting Prague to make a detour, instead of passing
through the city, on their way to the railroad, pro-
bably to avoid a conflict with the people."
According to intelligence from Cracow of the 17th
instant in the Breslaner Neitung, orders had been
received there, on the 15th, to send ill the artillery
and cavalry from Lemberg, Przemgol, Przeschow,
and Tarnow, to Vienna. It was further asserted
that, in consequence of an agreement with Russia,
the Russian army under General PARINTIN would
march into, Cracow as soon as the Republic should
be proclaimed in Viefina, or a rise should take place
in Galicia.

The Hungarian frontier is swarming with Magyar
troops under the command of KOSSUTH, MESB4.ROS,
and MOGA, who only await the permission of the
Viennese Diet to cross the Austrian frontier, and
advance to the assistance of the capital. The
Magyars have now expelled every Croat from the soil
of Hungary.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE,

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was firm,
at Friday's quotations. The sales were about 5,000
bales, a small portion of which was taken by exporters.
—For Railway Shares there was a very dull and gloomy
market, and prices were again lower.
The state of the dried fruit trade in London becomes
interesting as we approach the winter season, and
Messrs. Witherby and Hanson, brokers, have furnished
us with the following particulars :
" The clearances here for home consumption exceed
those at this period of last season, and there is no rea-
son to apprehend much, if any, diminution in our deli-
veries before Christmas, as compared with former years.
On the contrary, the consumption is likely to be stimu-
lated by the superior quality of this year's crop and by
a short supply of raisins. Though the arrivals will
soon be heavy, it must be borne in mind that, during
the month of November of last year we received at this
port by twenty-eight ships no less than 4,000 tons of
currants, and that the clearances for consumption from
20th September to 20th December reached that quan•
tity, and for export 700 tons. Had the quality of the
fruit been equal to this year's crop, the consumption
would have been larger."

Of raisins, it is said that they have again fallen in
price, although the arrivals are small, and likely to be
inadequate if a good demand sets in.
There are later dates from the Cape of Good
Hope, ♦iz., to August 12. Major Warden, who,
with his small force, had been allowed by Pre-
torius to retire beyond the Orange river, had
posted himself to wait for reinforcements. There
was still a hope of an amicable settlement with
the Boers, for, although Pretorius was determined in
his bearing, he had committed no hostilities.
The America, from New York, brings advices of dull
markets for grain and cotton. It is mentioned in the
New York accounts, that—
" The value of merchandise and amount of speeie im-
ported into this district for the week ending the 6th
instant, exclusive of that sent to the warehouse, and the
amount of duties on the same, in each of the past three
years, were as annexed:—

Of the imports for the past week, 437,560 dolls. were in

about equal to the amount withdrawn. The amount
of drafts on the Treasury, for the week, was
531,057 dolls., which exceed the amount received for
duties 231,806 dolls."
New Grenada papers have been received ilia New
York. The most prominent subject in these files is the
progress of the Presidential election now going on in
New Grenada. General Lopez seems to be the favourite
candidate—out of the 1,293 votes of the Houses of
Assembly of the provinces of Bogota, Tuuja,
Velez, Pampeluna, Mariquita, Nerve, Cauca, and
Socorro, the General received 595. His most formidable
opponent is Dr. Gori, who received 320. The remain-
ing votes were scattered among five other candidates.
The election was not as yet concluded. From all that
we can gather from our files everything was going on
quietly and prosperously in New Grenada, and it is to be
hoped that it will long remain so, as the unhappy con-
dition of Venezuela ought to be a lesson to the other
republics to avoid all civil dissensions.
The Funds have had a firmer tone, a natural reaction
after a sudden decline, but the transactions are more
limited than yesterday. The accounts from Vienna
are somewhat tranquillizing, though by no means
decisive. Consols are 844 for Transfer, and
84} for Account. Exchequer-bills realise 365.
premium for those dated in June. Bank Stock has
improved to 184 and 184 i. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. are 834 to 84.
The Foreign Securities are dull. Spanish Five per
Cents, have been as low as 10i. Mexican steady, at
19i4.

Shares are flat again to-day, and Midland, North
British, the York lines, and South-Western are rather
lower again. In North-Western a good deal is doing
at about previous rates.

ritius, and 2,300 bags Bengal. The Mauritius was all
taken in at 31s to 38s, but the Bengal sold at full
rates; gtainy yellow brought 38s to 405, and white,

were offered by auction. The former was all withdrawn.
at 28s for good ord Native, being above the present mar-
ket value. The latter went off very heavily, there being
little inclination evinced on the part of the home trade
to operate, unless on much lower terms. Importers
were, however, firm, and withdrew largely; the quantity
disposed of, therefore, did not exceed 2,500 bags (nearly
half of which were damaged).

West India Docks was 863 puns 41 hhds, there were
taken for home consumption 339 puns 58 hhds, and ex-

offered by auction. The Bengal was withdrawn much
above the present market value, but the Madras sold at
cheap rates, fair quality of Native having been dispotmd
of at an average price of Bs. per cwt.
TALLoW.—P.Y.C. is 45s per cwt. on the spot, and
Town 47s 6d. The market is steady.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OL D COURT.
(Before the RECORDER and Mr. Alderman Mom)
Charles Bagley pleaded Guilty to an indictment charg-
ing him with breaking into the dwelling• house of
Charles Rymer, with intent to steal, on the 19th Sep-
tember last; and

The RECOE WEIL sentenced him to twelve months'
imprisonment and hard labour.
ATTEMPT TO COMMIT A RAPX.— William Willis, a
respectable man in appearance, and a surgeon, carrying
on his profession in Paradise-row, Rotherhithe, sur-
rendered this morning to take his trial upon an indict-
ment charging him with an attempt to commit a rape
upon the person of Adelaide Sawyer, a young woman
between 18 and 19 years of age, on the 16th of August
last.
Mr. Parry was counsel for the prosecution, and Mr.
Clarkson and Mr. Bodkin defended the prisoner.
From the statements of the counsel for the prosecu-
tion and the evidence called in support of it, it appeared
that the prosecutrix had been a servant in the house of
the prisoner for three weeks previous to the evening on
which the offence was alleged to have been committed;
that on the evening of the 18th of August the
prisoner came down into the kitchen, and that there
the offence charged in the indictment was committed.
The evidence of the prosecutrix in chief was not fit, in
many parts, for publication, but went to prove the state-
ments made by Mr. Parry of the attempt on the part of
the prisoner.
The prosecutrix underwent a severe (cross-examina-
tion by Mr. CLARNSON, on behalf of the prisoner, but
her evidence in chief was not shaken by it with respect
to the attempt of the prisoner. The prosecutrix denied
that she had ever been discharged from situations she
had pre►iously held on account of 'dishonesty or a habit
of telling falsehoods.
After the examination of two other witnesses for the
prosecution,

Mr. CLARKSON addressed the jury for the prisoner,
contending that no case had been made out against him
the evidence of the prosecutrix being unworthy of belief:
(The trial bad not concluded when our report left.)

E L COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.)
The Court us' occupied during the whole of the
morning in trying Mint prosecutions, for uttering coun-
terfeit coin, but none of them presented any feature bo-
yond those which generally characterise cases of this
description.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(Tills DAY.)
(Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE and County Magistrates.)
The October adjourned sessions were opened this
morning at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell.
The calendar is unusually light.
The cases disposed of this morning were of a trivial
character, presenting no feature of the slightest interest,
except that, upon the conviction of a youth for larceny,
The ASSISTANT-JUDGE observed, in passing sentence,
that the boy had been twice convicted before, and was
now old enough and bad enough to have an asylum and
a chance of reformation at Parkhurst.

SURREY SESSIONS-(THIS DAY.)
(Before THOMAS PEICILLE, Esq., and a full Bench of
Magistrates.)
Ann Kelly was indicted tor stealing four five pound
Bank of England notes, and two sovereigns, from the
person of Samuel Gouche.
The prosecutor on the night of the Ist instant, was
proceeding along the Borough, when he was accosted by
the prisoner, w ho, after some conversation put her hands
in his pocket, and stole his money. A constable coming
up at the time, she was secured. The purse containing
the money was found in the street, where it had been
thrown by the prisoner in the presence of the constable.
The jury found her G uilty, and the Court sentenced her
to twelve months' hard labour at Guildford.
Thomas Bradfield, twenty-four, for stealing a pair of
stockings from the shop of William Lowther, a linen-
draper in the Borough, and who had been several times
in custody for robberies and assaults, was sentenced
to seven years' transportation.
John Smith, for stealing a pair of boots, was sentenced
to twenty-one days' imprisonment, and to be privately
whipped.

GUILDHALL.—(THIS DAY.)
This morning Frederick White and 7 hornas Cart-
wright, two Grenadier Guardsmen, were placed at the
bar, before Mr. Alderman Gibbs, charged with having
purloined Bs. 4d. from one of the Paris National Guard,
who now, with many of his comrades, is on a visit to
the metropolis.
Joseph Dalton, policeman in private clothes No. 366,
said about half-past eight last night he saw the prisoner
walking down Fleet-street, arm-in-arm with two
of the National Guard. Anticipating that some
difference might arise between them, he followed and
saw them go into the Green Dragon public-house. One
of the National Guard put down half- a-sovereign for the
purpose of having something to drink, which White
picked up and called fur some rum and shrub. He paid
for what they had, amounting to is. 8,1., and put the
change into his pocket. Oa coming out the National
Guard asked for his change, but White denied that
he had anything belonging to him. On witness
interfering, White and Cartwright became very vio-
lent. They struck witness and a brother officer
several times, and Cartwright endeavoured to rescue
his comrade. On being searched two half-crowns,
two shillings, two sixpences, and fourpence were
found upon White, which were the moneys given in
change.
Danteville, one of the National Guards, who wag exa-
mined, completely corroborated the evidence of the po-
liceman. He arrived last night in London by the train,
and was proceeding with a comrade along Fleet-street,
when two soldiers came up and took them by the arm,
and proposed that they should go into a public-house.
Both the prisoners denied the charge.
Mr. Alderman GIBBS said the conduct of the two pri-
soners was most disgraceful. He should sentence White
to one month's hard labour in the House of Correction,
and Cartwright, whose case was not so bad, having only
interfered to rescue his comrade, to seven days' impri-
sonment.
The prisoners were then locked up.

WORSHIP-STREET.—(THIS DAY).
Thomas Edwins, who has been employed for the last
15 months as a porter at the Brick-lane station of the
Eastern Counties Railway, was charged with robbing the
company.
Charles Amea, a police constable at the station, de-
posed that he was on duty, at about eleven o'clock last
evening, when he observed the prisoner busy among the
casks of wine, at the goods warehouse, be presently per-
ceived him look around, and :n an instant afterwards the
plug of a wiuo hogshead was started by the prisoner,
who held a great jug in hi; hand, and which he had
