DO W-ST DEBT.

DEFRAUDING THE EXCISE.—HEAVY FINE.
Jc:6eph White, of 107,.8, 9, and 10, High-street,
Borough, of the firm of White, Fairchild, and Co.,
was summoned by the Inland Revenue to answer
the three following charges, viz , that he the said
Joseph White, a dryer and roaster of chicory, and
within six calendar months before the day of
exhibiting the information, to wit, the Bth
of June, made use of a certain building
for the purpose of drying, roasting, keeping
and storing chicory without having made entry
thereof as required by law, whereby he had incurred
a penalty of £2OO. Secondly, that ho had in his
possession on the Bth of June, in certain premises
required to be entered, but not entered, a
quantity of chicory exceeding 14Ibs. weight, to wit,
20cwt., by which he had incurred a penalty of £lOO ;
and, thirdly, that the defendant, a dealer in coffee,
had in his possession ou the 15th of Jun; 16 cwt.
of roasted vegetable matter other than coffee—to
wit, locust beans prepared and manufactured to
resemble coffee, and to serve as a substitute for
coffee, the penalty of which was £lOO.
Mr. D welly, the solicitor for the Excise, called
the excise ()dicers who visited the premises and
found the locust beans, so manufactured and made
up as to resemble coffee.

Mr. Lewis, for the defendant, said he could not
deny the evidence of the officers, but ho trusted that
the magistrate would not inflict upon his client the
full penalties laid down in the Act. Ilis client had
never before, he believed, infringed the provisions
and directions of the Act of Parliament.

Mr. D welly said it was not quite so, as the de-
fendant had been summoned three times before.

Sir T. Henry thought the whole of the charges
had been clearly proved, and therefore he had no
alternative but to inflict the full penalties men-
tioned by the Act—for the first count the fine
would be £2OO ; foi the second, £lOO ; and the
third, .£lOO ; making in all £4OO.
Mr. Lewis again asked for a mitigation, but Sir
Thomas told him the proper quarter to apply for a
mitigation of the fine would be the Board of Inland
Revenue.

MARLBOROUGH STREET.

SUSPICIOUS POSSESSION OF AUSTRALIAN NOTES.—
George Knight, a young man, was charged before
Mr. Knox, with having suspiciously in his posses-
sion 6i one-pound notes of the Bank of Australia.
Butcher, a detective of the C Division, met the
prisoner, and, knowing him, asked him what he had
got about him, and on Beechey, another constable,
taking off the prisoner's hat, he found in it 6k one-
pound notes of the Bonk of Australia, and as the
prisoner could not give a satisfactory account of
how he became possessed of them, he took him into
custody.

The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said he
had had the notes in his possession three months,
and that they were given to him by a boy, and that
he had given thou to a young man, who said they
were of no value.
Mr. Knox rem tudel the prisoner.

VAST LONDON HOSPITAL for CIIILDREN.
The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which
shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit-
able buildings. The premises now occupied aro crowded
and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that
circumstance. It is impossible even to purchase on whole-
sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want
of room for stowage, every inch of available space being
occupied. There is a daily demand for more beds, and the
staff of nurses would be able to attend upon more children,
but no more can be admitted in the present building.
£B,OOO at least is required to carry out this much-wished-
for and urgent scheme.
Contributions will be thankfully received by the Tree-
'surer, E.S. Norris, Esq. Shadwell ; or by

INTERNATIONAL BOAT RACE.

PVTNEY, This day.
Both crews are well, and are walking about the
town, but will net go out until the evening, when
they are only expected to have a paddle. The heat
of the sun here is so great that the crews carefully
avoid it. Mr. Lord, Thames Conservancy super-
intendent, is making the necessary arrangemeute
this morning on the river for the race.

AMERICA.

(Per French Atlantic Cable.)

NEW Your, Aug. 25-
The 'Massachusetts Democratie Suite Convention
have nominated Mr. J. Q. Adams, as Governor. They
have also adopted resolutions denouncing the pressu.o
system of taxation and the high tariff, and favour-
ing the early return of specie payments. The en-
forcement of the Monroe doctrine and complete
protection of the rights of naturalised citizons
abroad—no mention is made of the national debt.

Numerous American journa:s express surprise and
regret at the report that Prince Arthur will not
visit the United States.

The New York Herald says the reception of the
Prince of Wales here, and the general regard for
the Queen throughout the country were guarantees
that the Prince would be cordially welcomed.

AUSTRIA.

The Pesti Paplo, the principal organ of the Beak party
iu Hungary, expresses cordial approval of the reply of
Baron von Beust to M. de Thule, and declares that the
Minister has known how to protect the dignity of the
Austro-Hungatiau monarchy. This journal praises the
Austrian Minister not only for what he says, but for what
he leaves unsaid, and for not allowing himself to be prp-
yoked.

TIM LAND QUESTION.

An article appears in the Freeman's Aurnal on
the land question, which, conzigcring its authen-
ticity, is worthy of consideration. Our contemporary
wishes to know whether " the IlindoO or the Buddhist
is more precious in the sight of Christian England
than the Irish tenant farmer," a question, we are
told, which must be answered next session practi-
cally and with precision :
" Three millioniof the Trish race depend for weal or for
woe upon the answer, and watch with longing eyes and
aching hearts for the decision which will be arrived at,
and for the answer that will be given. There are others,
too, who ought to watch it with no less anxiety. The
Irish landlords are perhaps hardly less interested in the
issue than are the Irish tenants, for there exists in this
country and in England a profound conviction that the
Government and Legislature must either interfere
promptly and effectually or definitely withdraw from the
arbitrament, and leave the 000,000 sturdy tenant
farmers to arrange the matter as best they can with the
8,400 landlords. There must be an end to the disorganised
condition to which uncontrolled landlordism has reduced
the country ; and rather than force on the feud to a war
of clas,ep, an 1 face the hitter iterpfelie that are sure to
Pucceed, we would he ready to listen to any suggestion
for compensating the landlords on a just or even a
liberal scale fur any deprivation of even fancied
rights, the abolition of which may be essential to
a permanent and just settlement of the question."

The Journal is of opinion that tile securitiesguaran-
teed by the tenant-right of Ulster aro the essentials
of a just tenant-code for Ireland. On some estates
of Ulster the model exists in perfection, but it exists
only\by tolerance and the special grace of the land-
lord. _ What is wanted is a law reserving the old
tenant-right established in Ulster by James I.—n
law abolishing eviction in form, in phrase, wad in
fact, and securing eachtenant a continuous occupancy
and against a capricious increase of rent.

COTTON C ULTIVATION.

"A. Calcutta Merchant" tells us that whilst those
interested in the cultivation of cotton think of esta-
blishing the plant in all parts of the world—the
Argentine Republic, Northern Australia, and
Ethiopia—they overlook a fine field which is much
more immediately available. The extensive tract of
country close to Calcutta, known as the " Sunder-
bu lids,' and said greatly to resemble t' ingeoun-
try on the American coast, which produces the finest
cotton in the world—the Sea island cotton—might
be made a great cotton-producing country. Sonic
years ago, when eqtton was under half its present
price, some small quantities of I:ne quality were
actu-hly produced in the Sunderbunils ; but no
effectual trial has been made." The Government
sells waste laud like this at ss. an acre; the growers
would be close to the capital of India and a great
shipping port; and abundance of labour could be
obtained.

THE AUSTRIAN MILITARY FRONTIER.

The proposed abolition of the Austrian military frontier
is occasioning some animated discussion in the Austrian
Reichsrath. This curious institution is a relic of past
ages, when the invasion of the Ottomans was the
great dread of the kings of Hungary. The strip
of territory now known as the Austrian military fron-
tier lies along the edge of the eastern Austrian provinces
nearest to the Turkish dominions. The old rulers of these
lauds were glad to welcome fugitives from the encroach-
ing power of the Turks, and give them grants of land on
condition of their guarding the frontier. They established
,a complete military settlement. The whole country and
' its population were parcelled out in military divisions,
and the War Office exercised jurisdiction over it, even
civil suits coming before courts-martial. Twenty
years ago, at the time of the Ifungarian insur-
rection, the Borderers rendered the Empire good service
against the rebels, and in return received an Imperial
charter constituting it a separate Crown land. It is now
proposed that the whole of this s)stem should be broken
up, being incompatible with the present position of the
Empire. 'The Austrians complain that they will Lave
to bear the burden of additional war expenses in
consequence, as formerly every Borderer was liable to
bear arms from the age of 20 until physically incapab!e.
• The Hungarians will, on the other hand, profit by the
change, as the territory properly belongs to them and
they will regain their rights over the forests,
which are of vast extent and value. The
yanperor of Austria has, it is said, written, an auto-
graph letter on. the subject, which will shortly be pub-
lished. He declares that, in his capacity of bead of the
army, he intends gradually to substitute civil for military

Austrian and Hungarian Ministries to confer on the sub-
ject. The Emperor adds, that everything is to remain in
state quo until the representatives of the two countries
have come to an understanding.

EMIGRATION.

-At the last meeting of the Executive Committee
in charge of the British and Colonial Emigration
Fund, it was announce,' that 158 emigrants had
arrived out in Canada. All had found employment;
and, in fact, immedihte w,ei might be found for live
times the number. The Committee„ albeit their
fund is doing much good, seem to come to the con-
clusion that charity must fall far short of supplying
the wants of the colony. They propose, as almost the
only thing now to be desired, that employers of labour
abroad should provide funds to enable the committee
to despatch worli men of each trade to them. The sum
might soon be recouped froth the earnings of the
men themselves. It was agreed that some scheme
Should be adopted to guarantee the speedy repay-
ment of sums advanced. Such a plan presents at
least one obvious advantage. If the passages of
emigrants were paid by Canadian employers, it is
clear that few persons would find their way to the
other side of the Atlantic by this agency, unless they
were really needed. • •

T caw MOB ALITY.

A correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, anxious
for a return of honour to the Turf, and disgusted
with the malpractices which have prevailed upon it,
seenis to have had his last hopes of revival blasted
by the way in which thoie who ought to furnish the
example—the noblemen and the aristocracy—
have departed from the high standard set
up •by their predecessors. He calls atten-
tion to a paragraph in some of the spotting papers.
In the report of the Stockton Meeting it is stated
that " the South Stockton Selling Stakes were
notable only for the suspicious transactions in con-
nection with Mavela, a good-looking daughter of
Macaroni and Margaret of Anjou, who retired most
ominously in the quotations, and finished second,
to the disgust of those who had got on early.
The filly was secured to Lord Roseberry again
by a friendly claim, but one well-known book-
maker offered £CO for the privilege of claiming her.
The correspondent does not put in plain terms the,
questions which he wants Lord Roseberry to'
answer, to which query he hopes his lordship can
reply satisfactorily, but asks another which suffi-
ciently shows what ho means :—" If on Friday next
the co-swain of the Oxford boat was found to have
secretly backed Harvard to win, and if during the
r..ce the said coxswain contrived to lose a dozen
lengths by wilful bad steering, would not Lord
Roseberrv, in common with all other Oxonians, be
open-mouthed against his rascality? "

Railway Terminus, King's Cross.
Patron—Her Most Gracious MAJESTY the QuENN.
Vice-Patron—
His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES, K.G.
President—His Grace the Duke of BUCCLEUCH, K.G.

This Hospital, founded iu the Tear 1828, the first to
establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor,
without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is
wholly dependent ter support on voluntary contributions
and legacies.
It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be-
tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.
The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the
benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of
containing several hundred more bode had the Committee
the requisite funds to maintain them.
Oontributions are received by their bankers, Messrs.
Brown, Hansom, and Co., Abchurch-lane ; also by Messrs.
Ooutts and Co.; Drummond and Co. ; Glyn and Co.;

SUBMARINE TELEGRAPHS.

Amongst the numerous projeCs for more ocean
cables recently put forth, the International Mid-
Channel scheme deserves
i attention as a remark-
able novelty. Its object sto establish a system of
telegraph ships connected by submarine cables with
the mainland, the vessels to be moored in the fair-
way of the great streams of vessels passing through
the British seas. It is expected that such a tele-
graphic system will be able to render many services
to the vessels themselves, as well as to those inte-
rested in them ashore, by sending newspaper
information, telegrams to and from underwriters,
shipowners and consignees,. besides providing ton-
nage, stores, &c. An experiment will be first tried
with a ship in the English Channel, half-way between
Ushant and the Scilly Islands. The cost of esta-
bl:shing and working this station for nine months is
expected to be not more than £17,000. The nominal
capital is to be £125,000, of which, however, only
one-fifth will be raised in shares for the present.
The directory is highly respectable.

MORE MUNIFICENCE.

Dr. Neil Arnott, who recently-bestowed a donatioil
of £l,OOO upon the Universities of Aberdeen and
Edii.burgh, has now given the same sum to the
Universities of St. Andrew's and Glasgow. All
these endowments are for the purpose of founding
scholarships for the encouragement of experi-
mental physics or natural philosophy. Dr.
Arnott also lately placed at the disposal of the
Senate of the University of London, of which he
has been an active member from the beginning, the
sum of £2,000 to found a scientific scholarship.
The money is well applied, for the London Univer-
sity is doinga good work amongst students, and it
is not rich in endowments.

BOSNIA.

News from Vienna declares the rumour of an insurrec-
tion in Bosnia to be totally without foundation, and the
Nord, which is usually well-informed on such matters,
also denies the report. Luka Pukalovitch, the Monte-
negran chief, who was said to have headed the movement,
is now in Russia, from whence he has issued a proclama-
tion to his compatriots, pointing out the best course to
follow if they would secure independence. This procla-
mation seems to have been the only foundation for the
rumour.
ITANKFORT.

The determination to which the Prussian Government
his come with respect to the Frankfort youths who were
naturalised in Switzerland, has given rise to a diplomatic
difficulty. 'rho feeling in Switzerland is quite against
the measure. The Federal Council has asked for explana-
tions from the Berlin Government. The press in Prussia
vindicate the course pursued by their Government, and
declare that the decree was a perfectly justifiable one.

MATTER IN THE WRONG PLACE.

Austria, being now the freest of the great continental
States, has been chosen as an eligible residence by such
a host of monarchs retired from business on a
competency more or less ample, that their presence is
becoming a serious embarrassment. The ex-King of
Hanover, the ex-Elector of Hesse, the Duke of Modena,
the Grand Duke of Tuscany, the Duke of Parma, and all
their relatives, not to mention the Cotnt de Chambord,
are all congregated within the Austrian dominions. The
most troublesome of these is the first mentioned. King
George of Hanover still resides near Vienna, and
his agents display such activity in his behalf as
to give much trouble to the Government. The Emperor's
Cabinet would gladly get rid of the responsibility of keep-
ing guard over the dispossessed monarch, but the ex-
King's advisers urge him to remain in Austria, hoping
that the time will yet come when a war with Prussia will
restore the Hanoverian dynasty. But, unfortunately for
these sovereigns sans subjects, the modern tendency to
diminish the number of active partneri in the great busi-
ness of government seems to gain strength.

TUE ELECTION PETITIONS.

The Liberals continue to be fortunate. They have
failed indeed to unseat the sitting member at Staley-
bridge, but Mr. Sidebottom had the narrowest pos-
sible escape. They have successfully defended the
seats of Sir Robert Peel, Sir 11. Bulwer, and Mr.
Grieve, and the petitions against Mr. Monk, Mr.
Price, and Lord George Cavendish have been with-
drawn. On the other hand, there is a complete
schism at Bradford. The backward and the advanced
Liberals cannot unite, and so the scandal exhibited
at the last two elections for this borough will be
repeated—Liberal . standing against Liberal. Mr.
Miall, who has been defeated twice, is to be brought
forward without expense to himself.

THE ARMY AND TIIE VOLUNTEERS.

In a third letter to the Times, Lord Elcho presents
the conclusion of his scheme for organising our
military services. In his former letters he advocated
an increased capitation grant to the volunteers and
the adoption of a scheme of military districts, so that
this force, the militia, and the regular army might
be united under one command. He now sets forth
includes
conscription, further plan for improvement. It
conscription, a new arrangement of the enlist-
ment.. time, and the volunteering of the militia
by regiments ins-tead of by individual soldiers. Lord
Elcho disagrees with the increase of the period of
enlistment from ten to twelve years. He would
recur to the old twent-one years' system, butwith
very great " modifications.'divide
the would
the time into three periods ;yen years
with the regiment; seven years in the first
reserve, to be called out once a year for training
with the militia, and with liability to foreign service ;
and seven years in the second reserve, with the same
training, but with liability for home service only.
To each period he would attach a pension of :id. o r
4d. H
He would also offer facilities for employment in
Government offices to those who have completed
their time. Lord Elcho's scheme agrees in many
respects with that of Sir Charles Trevelyan's. The
one would make the period of service very short, but
.increase the attractions which would lead the soldier
into the reserve, while the other would make the re-
serve compulsory.
Indeed it is just a difference of
compulsion. Sir Charles would treat a man so well
that he would be led on from step to step to
do what was for the good of the State, while Lora
Elcho would begin with the assumption that
Queen's right to command, and thep citiLen's privilege
to serve.

PAUPERISM AIND CHARITY.

A somewhat stormy meeting has been held at
Arundel Hall, Arundel-street, Mr. C. Reed in the
chair, to discuss the propriety of petitioning Parlia-
ment for an inquiry into the causes of our increased
pauperism and taxation, and into the constitution of
the Poor-law Board. Many of the guardians of
different London parishes were present, and
as these gentlemen introduced some personal
topics there was some angry discussion. The chair-
man, after insisting on the necessity for amending
the laws relating to pauperism, spoke strongly of the
injustice inflicted on the poorer parishes by the
inequality of the rates. The guardians present also
objected to the proposed metropolitan asylums, and
some resolutions embodying these views were passed.
Mr. Lumley, honorary secretary of the Statistical
Society, has addressed a letter to the Times respecting
the immense difficulty which attends any attempt to
obtain a correct report of the accont of our beneficents
societies and institutions. Such an object has often
been aimed at, but never attained, and the Statistical
society themselves abandoned the effort in despair.

THAMES.

A HARD CASE. —ROBBING AN INVALID SEAMAN.-Phillip
Reeves, a runner and touter of doubtful character, was
charged on remand with stealing a chest. kit, and other
property of a poor seaman, named Auguste Battle.

The prosecutor was invalided at sea, and put ash ore a
Gibraltar, where be remained under medical treatment for
some time, until be was in a fit state to be sent home. He
hired lodgings at a house, No. 11, Well-street, Wellclose-
square, near the Sailors' Home, and took his chest and
things there. He was soon compelled to have recourse to
the Dreadnought Hospital ship, and in his absence every
article belonging to him was stolen. On leaving the
hospital he made inquiries, and found a chest, bed, pillow,
blanket, and sea-boots at a clothes shop, No. 72, Cable-
street, Whitechapel. These articles were worth 40s only.
The remainder of his property is worth £9 more.
Peter Van Broeck, a foreigner, of No. 53, Upper East
Smithfield, said the prosecutor left his things in his charge,
He went out on Sunday, the 31st of January, and on his
return the place was stripped. A barker who worked for
him was also gone. He saw the prisoner with the barker
on the 29th of January. The barker, whose name was
Charles Amandic, had since absconded.

Emanue6A.brahams, of Castle-street, said he twice pur-
chased some things of the prisoner, and gave 9s. 4d. for
them in all. Ile had known the prisoner, who was a
shoemaker, for many years. The prisoner said the things
belonged to the man wk came with him, and that he was
a lodger of his.

Mr. Benson—And this poor fellow's things, worth at
least 405., have been di,po:-,ed of for 9s. 4d.
William Andrews, 38 11, said the poor sailor was ill and
in great distress. The prisoner said he bou;lit some of
the things from a barker.
The Prisoner—l have been plundered of my property
by a lot of Jews and foreigners.
Mr. Benson committed the prisoner for trial.

SUNDAY TIIADINc.

A conference of gentlemen and tradesmen interested
in in the diminution of Sunday trading was
he
Monday at the Freemasons' Hall. The object of the
on
meeting was merely to discuss the subject, and letters
were read from members of both Houses of Parliament
declaring their sympathy with the cause. The Bishop
of London, in expressing his regret at his inability to
attend, said that Sunday trading was pre-eminently
a working man's question, and that he was very glad
to see it in their hands. He thought that the
true interests of those who were supposed to
require the opportunity of purchasing on Sunday
would really be best consulted by limiting that
traffic as much as possible. The general feeling
both of those present and of those who for-
warded their opinions in writing was in favour of
a moderate measure. The Rev. J. Gritton, secretary
of the Lord's Day Observance Society, said that the
main argument in favour of Sunday trading was
that perishable articles would not keep for
many hours in the wretched 'dwellings of the
poor. There was some truth in that, but
he- had noticed that out of every si shops open, three
were drhaing shops and one a tobacconist's shop. If
meat would not keep from Saturday to Sunday,
surely tobacco would. Some gentlemen present
objected to the custom of having funerals on Sunday,
but others explained that most Sunday funerals
were those of the very poor. It was proposed
that the hawkers and the costermongers should
invited to a tea-meeting that their
opinions might be heard. It was incidentally men-
tioned that 350 shops were open in the parish- of St.
Giles's on Sunday morning. In contrast to this fact

TILE REPRESENTATION OF THE CITY.

The funeral of Mr. Bell, the late member for the
City, and the issue of an address by Baron Roths-
child, too!c place simultaneously. The Baron might
just as well have waited 24 hours lon .3r, the more so
as there is little chance of opposition. At a meeting
of the Liberal party, presided over by Sir B. Phillips,
that gentleman was himself named as a candidate,
but he said that he should waive his claim in favour
of the Baron. It was mentioned that at the
last election 7,137 electors signed pledges to
poll for the Baron, and that a fourth
portion of his own supporters were at his
own request withdrawn from his poll and added
to that of his colleagues, Mr. Goschen, Mr. Crawford,
and Mr. Alderman Lawrence, in . fulfilment of an
agreement necessitated by the minority clause, but
for which clause he would now have been member for
London. The Baron is 61 years old, and in by no
means robust health. A more energetic man would
have been a better candidate ; but then the chief

RUSSIA.

Mr. Kinglake's "Invasion of the Crimea" has been
detained by the censors of the Russian Government for a
long time ; but it is now permitted to be sold in the
capital. The correspondent of the Post relates that
Prince Menschikoff, whom Mr. Kinglake handles very
roughly, went the other day into the shop of an English
bookseller in St. Petersburg, and asked for "a new
English work of any kind." The attendant, utterly
forgetful of the lamentable appearance made by his
customer in Mr. Kinglake's book, offered him a copy
of it; but the Prince, making a face suggestive of a
sudden attack of cholera, muttered something to the
effect that " he did not care much for that kind of litera-
ture," and went hastily out of the shop.
