THE EMPEROR, NAPOLEON.

Last Monday will be remembered in the City as
the severest day of panic on the Stock Exchange
since the terrible trials of 1866. There can be no
doubt that the Emperor of the French has not fully
recovered ; and in Paris, London, and Vienna his
illness has been reported as of the most serious
character. The French funds went down on Monday
hour after hour, until they reached a price fully four
per cent. below that quoted before the Emperor's illness
commenced. The agitation in Paris spread to
London and Vienna, affecting all other stocks,
just as if the death of the French ruler would
put an end to the value of everything. The Times
says, however, that this alarm did did not pre-
vail outside the Stock Exchange. It points out
that the uncertainty of French affairs has
already done so much harm that it is doubtful
whether the effects of the Emperor's death on the
stock markets of the world have not been fully dis-
counted. " Suppose the Emperor Napoleon were
to die " has been a question that in every country.
has stood for more than fifteen years in the way of
all enterprises requiring large means and undis-
turbed confidence, and when illness was not avail-
able, the possibility of assassination has served.
It will not be extravagant to estimate the deprecia-
tion caused by this fear at a total of from 100 to
160 millions sterling. In other words, the seetirit'e
s
of the world would have improved to this extent

THE ALBERT LIFE .ASSLT.RANCE
COMPANY.

On Tuesday Baskell (Messrs. Brandon) applied to Uzi
Bloxam, the chief clerk in the Chancery Chambers, tc
take out a summons, on the part of a number of policy-
holders, for leave to inspect the books and documenti
of the Albert Life Assurance Company. The
chief clerk granted the application- The summons
of Mr. W. T. Manning, on the part of some
petitioners to wind up the company, for an order tc
have notice of all applications, also came on for hearing.
Mr. Musgrave (Messrs. Lewis and Co.) opposed, as alsc
Mr. Green (Ashurst and Morris) for the company. Mr.
Manning said that Mr. Kirby, one of the provisional
liquidators, had not the confidence of the policy-holders,
and the meeting had been held to get a re.
presentaticn before the judges in support of his scheme.
Mr. Musgrave and Mr. Green objected, as there was nc
order made to wind up the company. The Chief Clerk.
after a long discussion, refused the application, and it has
to ga before the judge. It was announced that the judge
would come to town on the 17th inst., and sit at Lincoln's•
inn to hear the petitioners and the other applicants in the

THAMES.

DARING AND EXTENSIVE ROBBERY ON TH E RIVER.—
George Hall and John Holmes, lightermou, were brought
before Mr. Benson, charged:with committing a daring and
extensive robbery on the Thames. The prisoners wore at
the Wandsworth Police-court yesterday, and Mr. Day-
man, the magistrate, decided that the barge containing
the stolen property had been taken away from the neigh-
bourhood of St. Katherine's Dock, the case was not
within his jurisdiction, and sent it to this court.
John Rose, a police-constable, No. 263 V, stated that ho
was on duty on land at Battersea ou Monday, and saw a
barge in which were the prisoners navigating to a part of
the Thames near the bridge, and saw the prisoners lower
a case containing 12 packages of brandy, and another
case containing 10 packages of linen into a boat, row
towards the shore and put the stolen property into a
cart, which they wore about to drive off when he stopped
them, and took both into custody. He secured the pro-
perty.
Charles Everett, in the employ of Thomas Moore and
and Co., master lightertuon and barge owners, said he
loaded the barge containing the brandy himself, and it
ought to have been navigated to St. Katherine's Dock, and
had no business at Battersea at all.
Inspector Harrison, V division, believed there wore
others concerned in the robbery, and said that no owner
had yet been found for the linen, but ho had an owner for
the brandy.

Mr. Benson said a very daring and extensive robbery had
been committed, and he should certainly comply with the
inspector's request by remanding the prisoners for a
week.

The Indian troopsbip Serapir, Captain Soady,
was undocked at Portsmouth yesterday, after neces-
sary repairs to her hull and having her bottom
newly coated with anti-fouling composition. She

her machinery and afterwards prepare for the com-
mencement of her Indian troop service for the season.
She is appointed to leave on the 2Cith inst for her
first trip.

INFECTED CATTL/e.

The practice pursued by many Irish farmers of
clearing out their diseased herds and sending the
infected animals to this country is clearly calculated
to perpetuate the ravages of pleuro-pneumonia. To
put a stop to the objectionable custom, the• Chamber
of Agriculture Journal suggests that an inspection
of all cattle previous to embarkation at
the Irish ports should be put in force.
The safety of British herds must no longer
be imperilled because there may exist a great body
of graziers in Ireland who do not wish that store
cattle from their island should be so particu-
larly healthy and safe as to be very popular
with English graziers. It is to the interest of
Irish breeders, but not to that of graziers, that
store cattle from Ireland should find a growing
demand from graziers on this side of St. George's
Channel. Obviously it is for English graziers to
insist upon a proper watching of the export of Irish
cattle.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.

New York journals state that at an interview
held yesterday between Mr. Fish, Secretary of
State, and several Foreign Ministers, it transpired
that the Administration has determined to recog-
nise the belligerency of the Cuban insurgents be-
fore Congress should meet. Such recognition was
only temporarily delayed through the exertions of
Senor Roberts, the Spanish Minister, who has urged
the Administration to consider the serious conse-
quences which were likely to follow, as Spain would
exercise the right to search American vessels under
the Treaty of 1795; stating further that in case
of war, which would probably follow, Spain would
not be bound by the stipulations of the Treaty of
Paris prohibiting privateering.
All departmental offices will remain closed until
Friday out of respect to the memory of Mr. Rawlins,
the late Secretary of War.

The balance of the year's income was £68,026 9s. 4d.
The assets of the association at the close of the year
amounted to £667,493 Bs. sd.
The directors draw special attention to the fact that the
next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year
1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior
to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate
in the same.
The directors also draw attention to the successful esta-
blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire
Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to
work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much

POLICE IIVTELLIGENCE.-7his Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

RoBBING HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—TIIOIIIIIB Morris,
a labourer, was charged before Mr. Knox with being con-
cerned with another in stealing at Her Majesty's Theatre
51 locks, the property of Messrs. Trollope and Sons, con-
tractors, Grosvenor-road, Pimlico.
Thos. Pickels, a divisional detective, said that on Mon-
day afternoon he was passing up Windmill-street when
he saw the lock produced in the window of a person
named Mitchell. He had some conversation with Mit-
chell, when he went and saw Messrs. Trollope, and after-
wards went to the prisoner, and told him that ho had seen
a lock, one of 51 stolen from Her Majesty's Theatre in
March last, and that the person who had it said that it had
been given to him by a person named Blake. He told the
prisoner that he was a constable and that he wished
to find out who stole the lock. Tho prisoner then
said that he found the lock amongst some rub-
bish at Her Majesty's Theatre, and mentioned the
name of a person who, he said, would clear him, but when
at the station the prisoner said the person he had spoken
of gave it to him in Salmon's public-house iu the Hay-
market.

Mr. G. 11. Trollope identified the lock as the property
of the prosecutors, and said that the locks were manufac-
tured from a special design expressly for the theatre.
Walter Blake said the prisoner gave him the lock, and
ho gave it to Mitchell.
The prisoner said ho was passing the :theatre, and the
man said he found the lock in somo rubbish, and ho
could have it, and after having some beer together the
man gave it to him.
Committed for trial.

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 251. 171 c. per £1 steriaig.
On Comparing these rates witli the English Mint price of
lis. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears taut
gold at the above price is the same in Paris and London.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 63
days' sight was on the &th km 1.104 per cent. At this rate them
would be a loss on the transmission of gold from the United
States.

Yesterday the B battery of the B brigade of
Royal Horse Artillery, under the command of
Colonel Andrews, arrived at Windsor, from High
Wycombe, on their way to Aldershott, having been
on the march from Leeds since the 25th ult. The
guns and waggons were placed in the new square of
the Infantry Barracks in Sheet-street, and the men
were billeted ou the townspeople. Early this morn-
ing the battery left for Aldershot, where they ex-
pect to arrive in the course of the day. A pecu-
liarly constructed vehicle, belonging to Cokiwi
Andrews, which accompanied this brigade, attracted
much interest RS it passed through the town. It
consisted of a well constructed boat, with sculls and
rudder, combined with every convenience of a
phaeton, and capable of holding 16 persons. It
was placed on the framework of a carriage, and
by a quick and simple process could be glided into
the water.

The following appointments were made yesterday
at the Admiralty :—Lieut. A. Cochran, to the
Pallas; and Sub-Lieut. L. H. Eliot, to the Warrior,
as supernumerary.

TRADE DEPRESSION.

" A Lancashire Employer " finds the causo of the
present depression of trade in trades unionism. It
is impossible, he writes, that " hard times " so severe,
and so prolonged, can be the effect of any ordinary
panic, still less is it the result of Free Trade.
It is the impatience of control, the stronger
aversion to labour, the increasing desire for
short hou:s and high wages on the part of working-
men—all of which are encouraged by the unions—
that have brought us to this pass. The unionists,
says " A Lancashire Employer,' act on the principle
that labour is necessary to capital, and that they
are at liberty to enforce what terms they think
'roper.

Where go the enormous supplies of—l had almost said
mxuries—but, however, of butcher's meat, fowls, salmon,
and other fish, butter, eggs, and milk, constantly increas-
ing, but ever rising in price, while bread alone remains
cheap? The writer knows many cases where
joints have been purchased by the working
man without hesitation from under the fingers
of well-to-do customers, who had passed them
passed them by as being too clear. And it is a well-ascer-
tained fact that the yearly cost of food for many an alder-
man's table exceeds that of similar families many degrees
higher in the social scale. All this may be quite right,
but what becomes of the plea of low wages? The truth
is, the classes who are ever complaining, ever "striking,"
are well off ; the suffering poor and the crowds in our
gaols and workhouses are non-unionists.

It is the system of restriction and of preventing
the skilled workman from employing his skill, of
spreading the least amount of labour amongst the
largest number of hands, and of thrusting down the
non-unionists, that is the true and only cause of the
present trade depression, according to this writer.

MOTJSTACUES.

Some mercantile house in the City has forbidden
its assistants to wear moustaches. A circular has
been addressed to the employds, of whom there are
five or six hundred, ordaining that in future all hair
above the lower lip must be strictly weeded out. The
reasons for this mandate are not given, but it is un-
doubtedly hard. It is likely, in the first place, to
have an unfavourable effect upon the fair friends of
the unhappy " six hundred." Moreover, as moustaches
are now very commonly worn (by those who can get
them), the clerk who clean shaves the upper lip will
be as easily recognisable as a monk. It is not
stated whether the firm has ordered heads to be
shaven. The Lords of the Admiralty also have once
more had this difficult hair question under considera-
tion. But their reforms are in quite another direction.
They have decided that the permission to wear beards
on board ship shall be extended to all officers and
men on shore.

West India accounts shew that Northern Hayti is inpos-

assault on the 13th of November, and Salnave's followers
fled to the American Consulate. Salnave has caused him-
self to be proclaimed President for life. A large quantity
of arms have been captured by the Government authori-
ties in Jamaica; it is supposed that they were designed for
Cuba. The people of St. Thomas are excited by a reported
scheme of annexing St. Domingo to the United States.

BIERST ADT'S NEW PICTURE.

The last grand work of this celebrated artist, the
painter of the " Rocky Mountains," is now on view.
at Mr. 1. M'Leau's new gallery, 7, Haymarket'
The picture, " Mount Hood," is one of marvellous
power; it represents the snow-capped mountain
which is situate in the cascade range of the Rocky
Mountains, State of Oregon, about 150 miles frorat
the mouth of the Columbia River, and is the highes
of this extensive range of mountains, being in ths
region of 18,000 feet above the level of the sea.
The picture is taken from the north bank of the
river, at a point called Cape Horn. Mount
Hood is seen towering to the sky, surrounded by
scenery of the most wild and rugged grandeur.
It is a marvellous work of art, and had Mr. Bier"
stadt produced no other picture:than Mount Hood,
it, of itself, is quite sufficient to stamp him one hi
the greatest painters of the age. The picture i 3 to
be reproduced in the chromo-lithography, in the
highest style of art, so there will be an opportunity
of possessing a copy of a painting which, at first
sight, fairly impresses the beholder with the utmost
wonder. On the walls of the gallery surrounding
Mount Hood, are the latest works of Maclise, rbli-
lips, F. Goodhall, Ansdell, Creswick, S. Cooper,
Frith, Ward, and other celebrities, in oil painting,
and also the drawings of Carl Haig and Birkett
Foster, of the old Society of Water Colours, so that
the gallery of Mr. M'Lean, at the present tinle,
forms one of the most attractive and splendid win-
ter exhibitions now open to the public.

KELLY'S POST-OFFICE DIRECTORY FOR 1870•

The Messrs. Kelly have just published their le-
comparable Directory for the coming year, and fre-
quently as we have had to speak in praise of the
colossal volume, on the present oecasion it is more
than ever deserving the highest comtnendation•
The Directory has now become a positive necessity
to the trading community, and, under such circure"
stances, the Messrs. Kelly feeling the responsibility
of producing such a book, have spared neither
trouble nor expense in obtaining the best and noBlt
reliable information on the various subjects whic'
make up the table of contents of the " Post-office
Directory for 1870." In the latest change°
that have been made it will be found that
the creation of the late Lord Mayor (Sir Janes
,L
Clarke Lawrence, M.P.), to a baronetcy, gazetted
Dee. 7th, is recorded in the official index, P. u:'
Court p. 2,042, Parliamentary pp. 2,152 and 2,15'
and List of Aldermen, p. 2,180. Count Lovradio, °a,
late Portuguese Minister, whose recall was notificu
in the Gazette of Nov. 30th, is expunged Rom the
list of Ambassadors in the official directory, P.
128.
Colonel Fraser, the City Police Commissioner,
whose appointment to the Companionship of the
Bath was gazetted Nov. 30th, is entered as such in
the official index, p. 55. The eight new Peers, viz.,
Earls of Southesk and Listowell, and Lords Howard
(of Glossop), Castletown, Acton, Robartes, lirolver;
ton , and Greville, gazetted Nov. 26, are each described,
according to their new titles, in the Parliamentary
and Official Directories. Mr. Justice Hayes, whose
death was announced in the papers on the 25th alt.'
is is removed from the Official Index, p. 591
Courts, pp. 1,848 and 1,851, and Court Directory,
p. 2,020. The names of Mr. E. S. Gordon, Ht.'
Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa, Mr. Kay-Shuttle"
worth, and Sir Henry Winston Barron, th
newly-elected members for Tipperary CountYci
Glasgow and Aberdeen Universities, Hastings, and
Waterford city, are entered in the Pailiamonl
Directory. The many changes which have occurred
in the bench of Bishops have all been carefully noted.
The trades' division has all been set up in new and
remarkably clear type, and as a curiosity we st
in
mention that there are 52 columns devoted to the
enumeration of the publicans in the metropolis, 25
to tailors, 32 to boc,tmakers, 18 to butchers, 25 .0
bakers, and 18 to beer retailers ; and as each of the
columns is 110 lines long, those curious in such
matters may easily come at the extent of some of
the demands of the inhabitants of the metreP°ll_
The entire arrangement of the Directory is remark"
able for its simplicity, and, taken as a whol,>, it:
one of the most wonderful productions of the co
mercial energy of London.
