APPREHENSION OF MRS. SLOANE.

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.
From the moment that Mrs. Sloane failed to appear
to the summons issued by Alderman Humphery at
Guildhall the City detective officers were on the alert to
watch the movements of Mr. Sloane, with the view of
discovering the retreat of his wife, and no efforts were
spared to effect her apprehension as soon as the warrant
was granted. Indeed, so -closely has Mr. Sloane been
watched that he has more than once looked suspiciously
round, and to his annoyance found a detective officer at
his elbow, and has on such occasions been heard to tell
the officer that he might as well take his arm as watch
him about se narrowly. Great were the caution and
ingenuity exercised by the friends and advisers of Mrs.
Sloane in baffling the vigilance of the police, and despite
their utmost exertions to apprehend her, their progress
was rendered for a considerable time extremely difficult
and tedious. The apprehension of Mrs. Sloane was
effected in the following manner:—Mr. Sloane was
suddenly missed, and it was inferred (though
no information had been received to that ef-
feet) that he had left the country. Accordingly,
Superintendent Hodgson and Daniel May (one of the
most active detective officers in the force, and who was
thoroughly acquainted with Mrs. Sloane's person)
started off to Buulogue, where they found Mr. and Mrs.
Sloane and Miss Devaux, who were all on the point of
returning to England, to be in readiness, it is believed,
to appear and take their trial at the Old Bailey next
week. As they were walking towards the pier at Bou-
logne it got bruited about that they were about to leave,
and crowds of people flocked to the spot to see them.
Indeed it was not until the French authorities had
pressed back the mob, of about 300 persons, that they
were able to get on to the pier. So great was the
trepidation of Mrs. Sloane that she missed her footing
in descending the steps to the vessel and fell a consider-
able distance, but received no material injury, as she
was caught by the steward of the vessel in his arms
when near the deck. Superintendent Hodgson and
Daniel May then took their places in the boat, and
in a short time they arrived at Folkestone, where an
immense crowd were waiting to receive them. Mrs.
Sloane, as she landed on the pier, trembled very
violently, and seemed as if she would fall at every
step. She left Mr. Sloane and Miss Devaux in the
cabin, and was making her way to the railway station,
probably congratulating herself that she had passed un-
recognised, when the officers presented themselves before
her. She displayed much nervousness, and when ad-
dressed by her name became very much affected and
almost fainted away. With some difficulty she was
conveyed to the railway station, where, through the
kindness of the station-master, she was allowed to remain
in a private waiting-room until the departure of the
express train, by which it had been arranged she should
proceed to London, and thus escape the unpleasant and
dangerous consequences of passing through the streets,
as the news had been sent by electric telegraph, and the
London station was accordingly crowded during the
whole of the early part of the morning in expectation
cf her arrival. The proceedings consequent upon her
apprehension were conducted with the greatest secresy
and dispatch, in order to avoid creating any unnecessary
public excitement. Great credit is duet o Mr. Super-
intendent Hodgson and Daniel May, we hope that
their c induct in this affair will not be allowed 'to pass
unrewarded.
A Boulogne correspondent writes as follows:--
BOULOGNE, JAN. 28, 6.30 A. 1.2.
Mr. and Mrs. Sloane, and their niece, left town last
night by the Folkestone-steamer, accompanied by two
officers from London. It appears that Mr. Sloane ar-
rived last evening by the London boat direct to take his
wife away, and no doubt the officers were on his track,
by which means they discovered her abode. Bee being
under an assumed name, and her passport not being re-
gular, have no doubt been the cause ot her being obliged
to leave France. A great number of people had as-
sembled to witness their departure. Many were the re-
marks made on their conduct, but not the slightest mo-
lestation was offered them. The officers expressed some
apprehension as to their fate, it it were known at Folke-
stone who they were.

As OBEDIENT MIRACLE.—The Weiner Zeitung
has made the most of the miraculous flow of blood from the
wounds of the image of our Saviour which is reported to have
taken place in the Saturnin Chapel near Apt, in France, and
the Church will not fail to follow its example. There are
persons still living who remember that the illustrious Joseph
11. was a great disbeliever in miracles, and that he actually
prohibited the growth of a beard on a figure of Jesus Christ
which is near one of the doors of the cathedral of St. Ste-
phen. He ordered a couple of sturdy grenadiers to mount
guard on the spot, and so great was the fear which their
formidable mustachios inspired that the wooden image
did not venture to disobey the imperial mandate ! It has
long been a saying in Austria that Joseph was born half a
century too soon.
THE SOAP TRADE.—On Saturday a meeting of
the soap trade of Liverpool was held to consider the pro-
priety of nominating a deputation to London on the question
of the soap duty. We believe also that, on Saturday, a
