THE POLICE AND COACHMEN OF TIIE GENTRY.—Web
Lock, a servant, was charged with obstructing the police
at a large party given last night at the South Kensington
Museum.

From the evidence of the police it appeared that the
defendant's master, Mr. Bennett, a Master in the Ceurt of
Common Pleas, was at the entertainment in question. His
carriage was called at a little after it, at which time de-
fendant was standing with several others in the door-
way. He was requested to stand back, but persisted in
coming forward. He was then taken into custody, when
he resisted. lie was taken to the station and kept there
all night.
The defence was that defendant was with his master's
carriage, that he was merely looking out for him at the
door, when he was unnecessarily put back, pushed about,
and taken into custody.
Defendant's master proved that it could not have been
more than three minutes from tho time defendant was on
the box of his carriage and left it until he (the master)
was fairly in his carriage and off. He could not tell what
had become of his servant, and he was not allowed to stop
and inquire after him.
Mr. Arnold did not think that the police had acted
rightly in keeping the defendant in custody upo❑ such a
trivial charge. He thought they ought to have let him at
large on his own recognizances. Ile thought it was a
proper charge to bring forward, but the offence not ono
requiring punishment.
Defendant was discharged on entering into his own re-
cognisances to keep the peace.

DEATH OF HEArRY 11..-11.11OND OF THE
_\'EW I'ollli TI.IIES."

List Saturday ❑ews was received in Loudon by chb!,3
that Mr. Henry J. Raymond, editor of the New York 7'iip-8,
had lied iu New Yo,k of apoplexy on the previous day,
18th June. his loss will be felt iu Europe as w, 1 as i❑
Ame ica, for the powerful organ of public oijnien he
establi,lied and edited made his influence felt• o❑ both sides
of the ocean, and always beneficially, for his brilliant pen

judicially, and disregarding prejudice to the ut-
most, while adhering rigidly to truth as the writer sees
it, were not then the characteristicsof New York journal-
ism. The public have little idea how vast the opportuni-
ties are for one having the absolute control of a great
journal to garble news, to suppress, to give undue pro-
minence, and generally to create a false impression in the
readers' mind, on which he unconsciously acts. Although
always in the long run the interest of a newspaper, as of
everything else, is to be truthful, yet it may not be so for
the immediate gain of the editor, and men not directed by
principle may feel inclined to secure the present at the
expense of the future. Mr. Raymond introduced a new
style of journalism which was rapidly appreciated by the
public and tended powerfully to elevate the American
press. Horace Greeley has said that ho is content to hand
down his name to posterity in connection with the New
Fork Tribune alone, and Henry J. Raymond's name may,
in the same way, he associated with the New York
Times. Nor is Mr. Greeley's saying a vain boast ; for tho,o
who have established leading papers in the metropolis of
America have achieved a work which can be accom-
plished but by very, very few, almost necessarily, too,
by men of very superior qualifications. The habit of
associating the okli,or's name with his paper has perhaps
grown out of the circumstances attending its foundation,
for he (the proprietor) cannot fail to be coupled with his
now and untried experiment. That habit will doubtless
dio out in America, with the illustrious few now associated
with these organs, and the English practice prevail, but
the New York Times of a century hence will still be con-
nected with the name of Henry J. Raymond. He was an
indefatigable worker, which even the duties of a daily,
one of the onerous positions in the world, did not satisfy,
for he took an active political part with the Republicans,
and sat in Congress, where he greatly distinguished him-
self by a display of those qualities that so marked his
paper—eloquence, impartiality, and moderation. The day,
however, was opposed to such qualities ; nor is war a fit
time for their exercise. Under the uncompromising rule
of the Anti-Slavery leaders the Radicals would permit no
backsliding, no lagging in the onward march. Mr. Ray-
mond, after the war, so earnestly advocated conciliation
that his party fell away from him, or he from it, and al-
though, with great ability, he maintained his position, his
followers decreased, and he left Congress with the failure
of his policy. At one time he hold the post of Lieuten ►nt-
Governor of New York, but whether as an official, a Con-
gressman, or an editor, his con duct was always distinguished
by uprightness and an honest discharge of his duties.
He never allowed his political proclivities to bias his judg-
ment, or the fierce strain of party strife to ruffle his tem-
per, and he never used the instrument in his hand to
damage those who had been faithless or hostile to himself.
Acting, then, so largely on reason, his paper was always
marked by the justice of its observations and the strength
of its arguments, and no other paper is so generally quoted
in Europe. Considering the public position he has occu-
pied, considering the weight of the organ he controlled,
perhaps no other American citizen could leave behind him
so few enemies, indeed it may be doubted whether he has
in death a single ill-wisher; for although his manner was
cold and reserved, his heart was singularly genial and
warm, his disposition forgiving, and his nature in the
highest degree charitable. He is everywhere a great loss,
but especially to the profession of journalism, of which he
was so distinguished a memher.

[ADVERTISEMENT--Henceforth no one will doubt the valuable
properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Revalenta Arabica
Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings
it has already received from Invalids whose position had been
deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the Pope,
whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of
unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the " Gazette du
Midi," July 25th :—" Rome, July 21, 1866. - The health of the Holy
Father Is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other reme-
dies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta
Arabica Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal.
It has produced a surprisingly beneficial effect on his health, and
his Holiness cannot praise this excellent food too highly." We
extract a few out ofmore than 63,000 cures:—Cure No. 58,216, of
the Marchioness de Brehan, of seven years' liver complaint
wasting away, debility, nervousness, with a nervous palpitation,
all over, bad digestion, constant sleeplessness, and the most in-
tolerable nervous agitation. Cure No 1.771: Lord Stuart de
Decies, Lord-Lieutenant of Waterford, of many years' dyspepsia.
No. 49,832: "Fifty years' indescribable agony from dyspepsia,
nervousness, asthma, cough, constipation, flatulency, spasms,
sickness, and vomiting —Maria Joly." Cure No. 46,270: Mr.
James Roberts, of Fernley, Surrey, of 30 years' diseased lungs,
spitting of blood, liver derangement, and pariial deafness. Im
portent Caution—Beware of the many unsavoury and more that
sloppy imitations to which, without authority, Baron Liebig's
name is most audaciously attached.
