communications were received from the following
among others, expressing willingness to co-operate

field ; C. Borthwick, A ustinfriars ; Thos. Thomas-
son, Bolton ; Mr. H. J. Trotter, Bishop Auck-
land ; J. S. Stitt; Liverpool; Henry Rawson, Man-
chester ; A. G. Dallas, Beaufort-gardens, London ;
and James sWatson, St. Vincent-place, Glasgow.
The immediate object of this movement will be to
obtain some reliable information respecting the
company's affairs and a voice in the management
commensurate with the very large interest now held
in England and on the Continent. Persons willing
to assist are to send their names to Mr. J. Denman,
5, Austinfriars.
Some figures compiled by the Austrian Board of
Trade show the great increase which In.s occurred
in postal communication, owing to increased faci-
lities and more complete organizAtion. In the year
1866 the number of letters which passed through
the pest-offices of Austria amounted to 356,906,622,
and in 1867 it was 480,549,152, being an increase
of over 123 millions in one year alone.

In consequence of the rise in the value of money
the demand for silver in the East has almost
ceased. it is computed that in the course of the
next week or ten days about £400,000 in Australian
gold ought "to arrive, and will probably be sent
into the Bank of England.

tion of 12s. 6d. in the pound, payable by half-

POLICE .11V TEL LIG EIV CE.-7 his Day

WESTMINSI

PAWNBROKERS AND THE POOR.—A very respectable-
looking woman came before the magistrate this morning
for redress under the following circumstances:—
She said that she wished to know whether a pawn-
broker was not liable for damage to property left in his
possession. A few months ago she had necessity to pawn
a good carpet for 10s. at Mr.Weekes', Cheyno-walk, Chel-
sea, and when she went for it, at. the close of last week,
she found a largo hole right through many thicknesses
of it.
Mr. Selfe—Was it done by a moth ?

Applicant—No, your worship, by a rat. The hole is
too big a great deal for a moth. When I pointed it out to
the pawnbroker he refused to give me any redress, and
when I told him that I should go to a mAgistrate, ho said
he did not care a for a magistrate.

Mr. Sella—l am afraid you have no redress.
Applicant—l paid him 125., including the interest for
the carpet, which is not worth 4s. now. It was a new
carpet, and cost me a good deal of money.
Mr. Selfe— I would grant you a summons, but you
would in all probability lose your cause and the costs. I
should be sorry for you to throw your money away as au
additional loss to what you have already sustained.
Applicant—Ain't he liable for the damage to my pro-
perty ?
Mr. Selfe—ln order to sustain your complaint it would
be necessary to prove neglect on the part of the pawn-
broker, and I cannot see h.) .v you are to do that.
Applicant produced the carpet with a large hole through
the folds, which she said perforated four places. The
pawnbroker pretended it must have boon in that state
when he took it in, which was absurd, as he opened it
widely and looked at it before ho received it.

Mr. Selfe repeated that it would be unkind to grant her
a sutualous, as she would be unable to sustain her com-
plaint.

THAMES.

A PICKPOCKET ON A RAILWAY.—John Gallagher, aged
29, was brought up, on remand, before Mr. Paget, charged
with stealing a purse containing 12s. 6d. from Miss Sarah
Nutt, a widow lady, on the platform of the Bow railway
station.

A few clays since, at half-past 3 o'clock in the afternoon,
Mrs. Nott was about to enter a railway carriage, after a
stoppage and a change of carriages at Bow, when she felt
a pressure upon her, and saw the prisoner's hand being
withdrawn from her pocket. She turned round and
saw him with her bag, which she was opening. She said
"You have your hand in my bag, give it me." He said
she was mistaken, and entered a carriage of the train which
was about to depart. An alarm was raised, and Mr. Abra-
ham liable, the station-master, took him out of the car-
riage and gave him into custody. Mrs. Nott also stated
that her money, 12s. 6d., was safe in her bag between
Stepney and Bow. The prisoner told Mr. liable ho came
from Fenchurch-street by the previous train, which dis-
charged its passengers at Bow. He had not been travel-
ling on the line at all, and had no ticket in his possession.
The police-constable who had charge of the case said
the prisoner had given a fictitious address, and had been
visited in prison by detectives, who had failed to recognise
him.

Roche, the gaoler of the court, however, stated that the
prisoner had passed through his hands before, and had been
convicted of felony.

Mr. Faget said he should like to know something more
about the prisoner before he finally disposed of the case,
and remanded him for a week.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

FENIAN REVENGE.—Martin Kennedy, a rough-looking
fellow, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting
David Jones, living in Crown-court, Soho.
The complainant said that on Saturday night he was
standing at the corner of Pulteney-street talking to a
friend when the prisoner came up to him and knocked him
down, and rendered him insensible, his head coming
against the kerb, and being cut. He was afterwards taken
to the station and a doctor sent for and his head dressed.

Ii answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the complainant said that
he had given the prisoner no provocation.

Frederick Nesbit and James Geogagn gave similar
evidence.

Mr. Tyrwhitt sentenced the prisoner to find bail in £lO
or two months.

EXETER HALL—Handers masterpiece, "Israel
in Egypt," will be given, for the last time time this sea-
son, by the National Choral Society, on Wednesday next.
The celebrated duet," The Lord is a Man of War," will bo
sung by the gentlemen of the choir, numbering nearly
300 voices. Miss Arabella Smith, Miss Palmer, and Mr.
R. Mason, are the principal vocalists ; Mr. G. W. Martin
will conduct, and the performance will commence at eight
o'clock.

ST. MUNGO.—This horse, who came in contact with The
Xgean while running for the Chester Cup, and had his
shoulder severely cut, went home very lame on Thursday
morning.
