WHOLESALE POT STEALING.—James Jones, a hawker of
lemons, was charged with stealing two quart and ono pint
pewter pots.
The prisoner went into the Surprise Tavern, in the
Vauxhall-bridge-road, and offered his lemons for sale ;
none were purchased, however, and he had nothing to
drink, but after he had gone a quart pot was missed. He
was brought back to the house by the potman and given
over to the custody of Shaw, 28 B R, who searched his
basket and found 70 lemons, a quart pot belonging to Mr.
Ford, of the Surprise, one belonging to Mr. Bowen, of the
Jolly Gardeners, Rochester-row, Westminster, and a pint
pot belonging to Mr. Hodge, of the Queen's Arms, Albert-
terrace, Knightsbridge.
Prisoner said he had been drinking all day, and knew
nothing about it.
All the witnesses agreed that he was perfectly sober.
He was remanded for a week.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INIELLIGENCL,

On Wednesday next a detachment of non-com-
missioned officers and men belonging to the Royal
Artillery will leave Woolwich for Portsmouth, to
embark at the dockyard for conveyance to Malta
and Gibraltar. The draught, which will be under
the command of Second Captain T. C. Price, Royal
Artillery, will comprise 63 non-commissioned officers
and men, and two women, for Malta, to fill up
vacancies in the 10th Brigade, and one officer, three
men, two women, and three children for Gibraltar,
to join the 15th Brigade. In addition to the above,
three men belonging to the Royal Malta Fencible
Artillery will leave Woolwich at the same time for
Malta. _ _ _

Capt. V. D. Majendie, Royal Artillery, Assist.-
Supt. Royal Laboratory, Royal Arsenal, Woolwich,
took over the temporary superintendence of the
department yesterday, vacant by the resignation of
Col. E. M. Boxer, F. R.S., Royal Artillery.
Yesterday Captain Ogilvy, 60th Rifles, assumed
the duties of Brigade Major in the eastern district,
vice Captain Leggett, 69th Foot, whose period of
Staff service (five years) has expired.
The fatal accident to a leading man of ship-
wrights in Chatham Dockyard, a few days ago,
has been followed by another loss of life. Yester-
day afternoon Henry Brean, a rigger, was drowned.
Brean and another man were in a boat by the dock-
yard, near the temporary pier or bridge which was
used when the Monarch was being completed in
the stream. Brean was pushing the boat from the
pier towards a barge when he fell overboard, the
boat going from under his feet. The water was
deep, the tide: running strongly, and, despite his
desperate struggles, he was swept away out of the
reach of his comrade, who could not render imme-
diate aid with the boat as the rowlocks had not
been "shipped." Several other boats, however,
were quickly brought to the place, and every
effort was made to recover the body with drags,
but in vain. The deceased has left a widow and
three children.

DIR. WILKIE' COLLINS AND COPYRIGHT.

Mr. Wilkie Collins has gained nis point with the
Dutch publishers. The good-humoured bullying
which he gave them when they asked permission to
translate his •work without paying him for it, has
brought the Messrs. Bellinfante Brothers round;
they now offer to reward the writer as well as the
translator. Mr. Collins will not, however, be so
successful in his dispute with the Daily I'Vews. The
writer of the article "In the Recess" of that paper
does not think the Messrs. Bellinfante are, in the
absence of an international copyright law, bound
in honour to pay for the right of translating
the novel, "Man and Wife." Mr. Collins can sell no
exclusive property in the story ; why should the
firm pay for nothing ? By the way, the author of
these gossipy articles was said to be Mr. Moy
Thomas; Mr. Thomas is ' the reputed editor of Cas-
sen Magazine; the novel is appearing in a serial
form in that monthly. Is it not a little strange that
the editor should thus be falling foul of his con-
tributor ?

THE BUITISLI COLONIES,

The conferenoe of gentlemen interested in the British
colonies, adjourned from last week, was resumed on
Wednesday at the City Terminus Hotel, Cannon-street,
Mr. Youls in the chair.

The debate on the policy of this country towards its
colonies was resumed by ➢lr. Wilson, of the Melbourne
Argus, who at the outset expressed a decided opinion that
the colonial question should not be treated in any degree
as a party question. It was not true, as had been alleged,
that this conference had a strong bias in favour of New
Zealand, although he could not avoid remarking that the
condition of the colony should be taken as an example of
the state of some other of our colonies. The gentlemen
who had met to consider this subject were by no means
opposing the general interests of the empire.
A series of eight resolutions were submitted for the
consideration of the meeting by Mr. Westgarth.
They expressed the views of a number of colcnists, and
amongst other statements averred that the colonies were a
great commercial and social advantage to the present
country; that the practical independence of a represen-
tative and responsible local Government, latterly conceded
to each of the principal colonies, was not intended to
weaken the connection with the Parent State; that under
this system it was only equitable that the self-
governed colonies should defray their respective charges,
provided that all claims and responsibilities attaching to
the preceding rdjime had been first satisfactorily disposed
of ; that in the case of Now Zealand, to which had been
bequeathed by the preceding rejime a heritage of costly
difficulties, the indiscriminate application of this system
was impolitic and unjust; that the late correspondence
of the Colonial Secretary on the New Zealand question
was most unsatisfactory; that the Colonial Office was not
now in consonance with our institutions generally, and
therefore reconstruction was necessary in the direction of
increased publicity and responsibility; and that it would
be well for the Government to consider the means of a
more active intervention in the matter of emigration
which was of great national importance.

MR. KNATCIIBULL-HUGESSEN.

The member for Sandwich has given his opinion of
public affairs to his constituents. Mr. Knatchbull-
Hugessen is Under-Secretary for the Home Depart-
ment, and .ender-secretaries, as is notorious, are not
permitted to let out much. It is not surprising, there-
fore, to find that the remarks of the member for
Sandwich on the land question were confined chiefly
to sheaving what the Government would not do. But
in one respect Mr. Knatchbull-llugessen's speech may
be taken as an indication of coming events. It
hinted that the sedition-mongers were getting to the
end of their tether :

It i; not my duty to give legal opinions or to institute
prosecution;; but I say to you, as I have said to others
very recently, that a limit mu!,t be reached at last, and that
speedily, if we permit the circulation through the length
and breadth of Ireland of seditious newspapers, which
speak disrespectfully of the sovereign, openly agitate
fcr the separation of Ireland froM England, and give an
utterly false aspect to the real feeling of Englishmen
towards the sister country. For the happiness, prosperity,
end safety of Ireland, it is absolutely necessary that
the authority
of England should in this respect be vindi-
cated.

Mr. Knatchbull-Hugessen pronounces for the ballot.

SOUTHWARK.

Sir Sydney Waterlow has entered upon the elec-
toral campaign. In an address to the Southwark elec-
tors on Tuesday night, the candidate said very little
about his political views ; but he gave the meeting
the valuable information that he would not have come
forward had he not been assured that his candidature
would unite the Liberals. How he will bring about
Waterlow did not very clearly

sSeyndtl
classes. He has served his apprenticeship in a
mechanics' workshop, lie is well acquainted with the
habits of the worliing classes, and therefore claims to,
be a fit representative of their interests. Sir Sydney
will do more than strive for an equalisation of the .
poor rates ;he is favour of changing the basis on
which the poor rate. is assessed. Colonel Beresford
has finally determined to issue his address as the
Conservative candidate.

A RUMOURED FRANCO-RUSSIAN ALLIANCE.

The selection of General Fleury as the French Ambas-
sador at St. Petersburg has given rise to many speculations
in the Continental press. The unusual course that was
pursued in choosing an agent who was not at all accus-
tomed to diplomatic service justified the belief that a par-
ticular mission was in view. The question then arose,
what could be the scheme which the Emperor would not
entrust to the ordinary ambassadors ? According to one
account, General Fleury was to persuade the Cabinet of
St. Petersburg to join the French Emperor in carrying
out the proposal for a general disarmament originally
made by the latter in 1863. This plan would necessitate
a congress of princes, who were to effect a new balance of
power in Europe, founded on new international rights. It
seems rather inconsistent with this notion of disarma-
ment, that the Czar should have ordered an increase in
the number of conscripts in Russia and Poland. The
enlistment will be the largest that has taken place in the
reign of the present Emperor. An alliance with Russia is
not regarded favourably by the French, who look upon it
as the abdication of a civilised policy and the triumph of
the opinions of barbarism.

THE BEST REMEDY FOR INDIGESTION.

jORTON'S CAMOMILE PILLS are confi-
dently recommended as a simple but certain
Remedy for Indigestion, which is the cause of nearly all
the diseases to which we are subject, being a medicine so
uniformly grateful and beneficial that it is with justice
tailed the " Natural Strengthener of the Human Stomach.'
" Norton's Pills" act as a powerful tonic and gentle ape-
rient ; are mild in their operation, safe under any cir-
anstances, and thousands of persons can now bear testi-
mony to the benefits to be derived from their use, as they
have been a never-failing Family Friend for upwards of
20 years.
Sold in bottles at ls. lid., 2e. 9d., and lie. each, in
every town in the kingdom.
CAUTION.

Be sure to ask for " NORTON'S PILLS," and do not
be persuaded to purchase any of the various imitations
which have sprung up in consequence of the success of
N orton's Camomile Pills."

IRE FIJI ISLANDS.

The European population of these islands has so much
increased, and the settlers have so largely extended their
commercial transactions, that the people desire to
form a part of a more established community.
A public meeting was held at Lavouka to discuss
the advantages of being annexed to the American Govern-
ment. The feeling in favour of England so largely pre-
dominated, however, that a resolution was passed to the
effect that the British Government should be memo-
rialised on the subject of annexation, and particularly
with respect to the Australian colonies. The memorialists
declare that English commerce would be damaged if these
islands were to fall into the possession of France or Ame-
rica, and that England has no settlement in the vast space
between Australia and Vancouver's Island. All kinds of
tropical produce can easily be raised in Fiji, and the
growth of sugars and cotton is likely to become very consi-
derable. The natives of the country are on good terms
with the Europeans.

LORD BODARTES.

Some of our contemporaries, in commenting upon
Mr. Robartes' peerage, have remarked on his claim to
be descended from Lord Radnor. Assuming him to
be envious of that title, they have spoken of the
one he has taken as a new one. This, it
seems, is a grand mistake. Mr., or rather
Lord Robartes, claims to be descended, in female
line, from an older peer than Lord Radnor. He is
the representative of Lord Robartes of Truro, who
was created in 1625. The present Earldom ofßadnor
was created so late as 1765.

CO-OPERATION LN LANCASHIRE.

The Rawtenstall Co-operative Society is one of
the most successful in existence. It was started
about twenty years ago by a few men whose
capital was only a guinea, and has gone
on increasing year by year, adding drapery,
tailoring, boot, shoe, and clog making, and
butchering to its original grocery and provision
trade. At present the society has 990 members,
with a subscribed capital of £11,020 9s. 5d., and a
lean capital of £1,840 19s. 9d. It transacts a busi-
ness of above £30,000 per annum, and realises clear
profits of over £l,OOO per quarter, which, after pay-
ing interest upon the capital, are divided on members'
purchases, no less than 2s. 51d. per pound being the
average on the latter. A new store has just been
erected, at a cost of £7,000. This building contains
a news-room, a meeting-room, and a well-stocked
library. Mr. J. S. Mill has expressed his irratifica-
tion, not only at the success of this store, but with
the extension of the co-operative principle to manu-
factures in the district.

LONDON, 71117RSD4Y, DEC. 2, 1869.

It is perhaps no great wonder if the united efforts
of the Right ion. GEORGE JOACIIIM GOSCHEN, and
the Guardians of the Holborn Union, have failed to
solve one of the most perplexing of the social pro-
blems of the age. The relief of the poor is essenti-
ally a practical question, and the rules and regula-
tions, the prineiples and theories, which sound admir-
ably in Parliament, read conclusively in the columns
of the public journals, and extort general approval
when framed on the walls of board-rooms,
are apt to break down wholesale when submitted to
the searching test of that compound of ignorance,

intemperance, imprudence, sickness, misfortune,
accident, and absolute starvation which we call
metropolitan poverty. Again and again have the
public been cautioned against encouraging mendi-
cancy and imposture by giving money in the street,
and the arguments against such thoughtless and super-
ficial charity are unanswerable, but one inquest
on a man or woman found fainting in our
wealthy city "from want of the neccasarie of life"
does more to open .purs2s to the piteous cry of the
shivering beggar than a thousand lectures can do to
close them. Then, again, Guardians and relieving
officers are constantly accused, and with reason, of
doling out relief so scanty, that it is barely possible
to keep soul and body together upon it, and
yet every now and then we come across a case
such as that just reported, in which a
man having actually sold property worth
over £2OO attempted to be a burden on the
ratepayers. Unfortunately, in attempting to avoid
the two extremes, to assist undeserved or indisputable
misfortune while checking indolence and imposition,
we seem to succeed only too well in encouraging pau-
perism in the aggregate without preventing the re-
currence of cases of terrible and pinching want.,
What is to be done ? The question is one that
presses upon us with urgency now on the threshold
of winter. Be the season mild or severe, we shall
infallibly have some weeks at least of frost and broken
weather paralysing all outdoor labour, and only those
familiar with the households of the working classes
know what such an interregnum means to the really
poor after a time of prolonged commercid depression.
We have no reason to hope that the experience
of this ,year will be less painful than that
of its predecessors. flow then are we to meet
it ? The rates are, in all conscience, heavy enough,
charitable funds are certain to be forthcoming in

reply to every demand, but what sort of guarantee
have w c that aged men and women, and lingerint,
invalids, and little children, and widows stxugoin,
with families, will not perish miserably in the in-
terval ? Tbe lucifer-box maker of Bethnal-green,
the woman who had sixccnce a week certain after
paying her rent, the man who fell down on
the highway, and died in the workhouse to which
he was hastily carried, the baby, whose mother, like
HAGAR, left it dying in the road because she could
not feed it— have we any security that tiles(' will be
the only victims of their kind ?

A CANADIAN FENLiN.

Father MacMahon, who was liberated by the Canadian
Government after being captured at Fort Erie,
has made his appearance as " the martyr and
child of freedom" at a New York public
meeting. It is generally believed that the clemency shewn
to MacMahon was a mistake, and the priest himself seems
determined to prove it so. He has made several violent
ane inflammatory speeches, openly advocating another
alttack on Canada, and promising that he would be found
among " the boys in green " when it was undertaken.
Twenty-two of the raiders still remain in Canadian keep-
ing, but the Fenians may derive some consolation for this
fact from MacMahon's statistics. He gives the killed and
wounded at Fort Erie as "30 of the Irish and 90 of the
English forces."

THE RUSSIANS IN SAGHALIEN.

The Island of Saghalien has long given rise to disputes
between the Russians and Japanese, as the boundary is
not clearly traced. A short time Ft ice the Japanese sent
an embassy to St. Petersburg to remonstrate against
the alleged encroachments of the Russian agents.
The Russian Government, however, displayed no
great willingness to come to a definite under-
standing, and has since shewn an increasing activity
in the occupation of the island. A letter from Hakodate
states that a Russian expedition has just arrived at
Saghalien, bringing a large number of its criminals detained
in Siberia. The position taken up for this convict settle-
ment is at the extrame south of the island, overlooking
the Strait of La Peyrouse. It is believed that this is the
first step towards the assertion of Russian supremacy over
the whole island. The Japanese Government have
appealed to the foreign Ministers to assist them in arrest-
ing the march of Russia. The English Secretary of Legation,
Mr. Adams, was last year despatched by Sir H. Parkes ona
mission of observation in the Rattler, which vessel
was lost in the service. Conferences have been held
respecting the last movement of the Russians, but as the
Treaty Powers have declined to guarantee the integrity
of the Japanese Empire nothing more serious than
a remonstrance is likely to be attempted. The Anglo-
-Chinese press is not inclined to resent the occu-
pation of the island by the Russians, as nothing
can be more inimical to commercial interests than the

present policy of Japan towards foreigners. Hakodate is
now the only port into which foreign ships may sail.
Linder any other power, the right to trade would be ex-
tended to every port in the islands. Sir H. Parkes is
therefore advised to withhold his intervention until the
Japanese prove more amenable to reason.

AUSTRALIAN MEAT.

The consumption of antipodean flesh in this
country appears to be increasing rapidly. Mr. M'Call,
of Houndsditch, announces that in consequence of
the great success which has attended the introduc-
tion of Australian meat in tins to the British
public, the Melbourne Meat Preserving Com-
pany have enlarged their manufacturing pre-
mises, and are preserving mutton at the rate of
90,0001b5. per week. Mr. Ritchie, the manager of
the company, writes :—(c
From all appearances, the
stock of sheep this summer will be immense, and
their condition fat beyond all precedents, thanks
to the magnificent rain we have been blessed with
during the past fortnight." Between the Ist April
and the Ist October of this year upwards of
90,0001b5. of meat of this company's brand alone
were sold in this country. Large shipments have
just been landed from the Norfolk and Swiftsure,
and further consignments by the Dover Castle,
Somersetehire, and Renown, are expected to arrive
shortly.

EARLY CLOSING.

The friends of the movement in favour of early
closing have held their annual celebration. The
cause is strong, and numbers supporters of great
diversity, such as Mr. Morley, M.P., the Bishop of
Oxford, Dr. Cumming, Mr. Anthony Trollope,
Lord George Hamilton, Mr. Buxton, M.P., and
other dissimilar thinkers. On the occasion
of this annual gathering Mr. Morley presided.
The member for Bristol is an earnest early-closer,
and advocates the shutting up in good time of all
kinds of shops, including that in which legislative
ware is vended. Why, asked Mr. Morley at this
meeting, should the House of Commons turn night
into day, when two centuries ago Parliament used to
meet at seven in the morning ? Something of a
middle course between the two extremes would
surely be preferable. Mr. Buxton, M.P., on
the other hand, thought the present prac-
tice of Parliament the best. But he was in favour
of early closing generally. He denied that it led
young men into mischief. A man excited and over-
worked, and having but a couple of hours at his com-
mcmd, almost necessarily sought for fresh excitement,
often finding it under inauspicious circumstances. A
man, on the contrary, who left off work earlier,
without equal strain and excitement, was much more
likely to spend his evenings in a rational and tem-
perate manner. Mr. Macgregor (" Rob Roy ")
believed the movement was prospering. Mr.
Anthony Trollope was of a similar opinion, and spoke
a word in favour of Post Office clerics. It does not
appear that any member of the Government was
present to say something on behalf of overworked
Ministers. If Parliament would only meet at seven
in the morning, how many neat little bills, and how
many nice votes would be smuggled through unseen,
especially in cold weather !
