THAMES.

The charges of drunkenness this day doubled
those of last Monday, which followed Boxing-d ty
on the previous Saturday. Mr. Partridge, who
officiated, soon dispaiel of them, and in some cases
attended with disorderly conduct, inflicted the
ordinary fine of ss. The others were discharged.
John Head, an Irishman, was charged with
violently assaulting Mr. Guntop, a green grocer,
in High-street, Bow. The prisoner was intoxi-
cated on Saturday night, and he accosted the com-
plainant, and after abusing hitu without any pro-
vocation whatever he struck him on the mouth and
dislodged one of his teeth, putting him to serious
pain and inconvenience.

The prisoner made a long defence about his
drunkenness, and a variety of subjects, but made
no allusion to the assault.

Mr. Partridge said he could not pass over such
a violent assault as this without severe punishment,
and sentenced the prisoner to a month's imprison-
ment and hard labour.

SPAIN.

Whilst the Provisional Government can hardly find
money for its most pressing needs, the local authorities
find little difficulty in borrowing. The Paris firm of
Erlanger has advanced the sum of £760,000 to the munici-
pality of Madrid. The rate of interest is 71, and the time
allowed for redemption is seventy years. This loan is for
the benefit only of the city of Madrid. The municipal
authorities can obtain money at 71 per cent. because they
can offer security for it ; but the Government cannot
realise above one-fourth of its loan, at 10 per cent., be-
cause it is not so firmly established as to inspire confi-
dence ; more than this, the repudiation under Isabella's
r,"giinc serves to repress the enthusiasm of capitalists.
The process of disarming the militia, or, in other words,
of getting back the musk,ts which were so indiscrimi-
nately served out to the Spanish working men, is giving
rise to some trouble. It brought about a serious rising at
Cadiz, and it has produced a lesser disturbance
at Malaga. But this popular discontent is not
likely to give rise to any serious ulterior consequences.
The disarming of the militia is not a party measure ; it is
directed against a class. The Juntas distributed arms to
the lower orders during the early days of the Revolution,
and the Provisional Government now finds it neeessary to
get them back. The armed mob in some places threatened
communism. A new militia is being formed, and it is to
be drawn from a higher grade of the people.
The Times correspondent says, that Marshal Serrano no
longer makes any mystery about his Montpensier pre-
dilections. Prim is supposed to hanker after a Regency,
to be exercised by triumvirs in the name of a minor, no
matter of what Royal House.

POLICE LYTELLIOE.NCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH- STREET.
SINGULAR CASE.—Marie Poirier, a Frenchwoman,
was charge I before Tyrwilitt with stealing a gold
watch and chain of t':e value of £l2, the Property
of Alexis Tout-lex, a waiter, living at No. 3, Rupert-
street.
M. Albert intcrpreed.

The prosecutor said that on Saturday morning,
last about half-past one o'clock he met the pri-
soner and took 11,2 r to his place, where they
had some bran ly and champagne. lie after-
wards fell asleep, and the prisoner, under the
pretence that she was suddenly taken ill, wanted
to leave the rocm. He opened the door and let the
prisoner out and followed her down stairs. She
then left the house and he returned to his rocm ; a
suspicion crossed his mind that she might have
taken his gold watch and chin out of the pocket
of his waistcoat which he had hanging in his room
and he found that that was the case, and that the
watch and chain were gone. Last night he met the
prisoner with her "bully" in Coventry-street, and
on giving her into custody the " bully" struck him
in the presence of a constable.

Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the prosecutor whether the
prisoner said anything when she was given into
custody.

The prosecutor said at the station she said they
could send the police, but would not find anything.
A person was in court who saw his chain in the
prisoner's " bully's" possession.
The prisoner asked the prosecutor whether he
was sure she was the same woman.

The prosecutor said he was, and that he par-
ticularly noticed that she had a mole on her
forehead.

Barnes, the gaoler, removed the prisoner's ha
and found a mole on her forehead.

henry Poix, a Frenchman, proved seeing a gold
chain like the procacutor's in the possession of the
prisoner's bully, who had made off as soon as the
prisoner was taken by the police.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner, who denied
all knowledge of the prosecutor, for a week.

ALLEGED INTIMIDATION AT B.IIEFFIEL

A case of alleged iniimidation is reported in connection
with the buil,ling trade in Sheffield. It appears that a man
named John Power is the sub-contractor for the joiners'
work at some new houses in course of erection in the neigh-
bourhood of Highfield. He is not now and has not been
connected with any trade society for four years past. Ac-
cording to his statement, however, the unionists have
taken exception to his conduct with regard to the man-
ner in which he has taken the work referred to, one
of their rules prohibiting piece-work. In consequence of
this, unpleasantness has thus arisen. Power says that the
system of "picketing" has been resorted to, and that on
Friday, as he went up to the place, he met a prominent
member of the union "on the watch," as he supposed.
A disturbance ensued, and to prevent her husband
being maltreated, Power's wife rushed in between them
to separate them. In the course of the struggle Mrs.
Power was stabbed on the arm with a chisel or some
similar instrument. She was taken to the Public Hospital
and Dispensary, where her wounds were dressed, and in
the evening the husband applied for a warrant against a
man named Charles Howard, whom ho alleges committed
thO assault.

WESTMINSTER.

A VERY AWKWARD POSITION.--Alfrel C. Piper,
a young man about 25 years of age, well dressed,
was charged with being fount on the balcony of a
house iu Colchester-street, Pimlico.

Mr. Foot, a gentleman residing in Colchester-
street, said that at half-past 1 this morning he was
awoke by his wife, who said she heard a noise
like a man sweeping a chimney. He thought
it very unlikely that such a process could have
been going on at that unseasonable hour. While
he and his wife were discussing the point they
beard a fresh noise and saw the shadow of a man
reflected from outside the house. Witness jumped
out of bed, an I on going to the win‘low saw the
prisoner on a balcony two or dire.) doors off. Ile
calle Ito him toknow what he dil there, ani told him
ho should give hi►n into cus'm ly, which he

Sergeant Walker, 23 B, said that half-past one
he heard cries of " Police" fro:n Colc!lester-street,
and went there, when he found prosecutor and pri-
soner standing together in the balcony. Witness
asked him what he was doing there, when he re-
plied it was all right, he wanted to see some one.
He declined to say to what house he was going. Au
instrument, called a " knuckle-duster," was found
upon him.

Prisoner said he had had some words with a lady
with whom he was keeping company, and she went
in-doors. Seeing a light at her drawing-room
window he stupidly climbed the balcony two or
three doors off, and was going to her when prose-
cutor stopped him.

Mr. Selfc said that unless he could fully satisfy
him of his respectability he should remand him
until Wednesday. If he produced witnesses he
would bear them. He did so, and was liberated on
his own recognisance.

SUNDAY TIPPLING',

Apart from the particular prosecutions, there is,
however, something to be said. In every suburb
of London, not Simply in the rural districts, but
actually within the radius of three miles or less
from the Post-office, it has long been the
custom for publicans to carry on .a brisk trade
throughout the whole of the afternoon on Sun-
days. Those who doubt this may soon put the
matter to the proof, but perhaps a little initiation
may be necessary, for a sort of freemasonry is
established between the victuallers who keep their
houses open and the customers who know how
to get served. The casual "or well-dressed demure
pedestrian may pass a 'roadside house three
miles or so from town and observe no indica-
tion of trading—the house is as demure as him-
self, and if he should rap on the door, he would
probably get no answer. But some one initiated
in the mystery would direct him to the side en-
trence, through, perhaps, a stable yard or quasi-
garden, and there he would see a constant stream
of Sunday morning ramblers passing to and fro,
and if he should succeed in getting that way,
he would find the beer flowing and the smoke
curling in the midst of a crowd enjoying
both with double relish, as we are all given
to enjoy forbidden fruit. We do not raise the
question whether any great amount of drunkenness
results from this systematic evasion of the law ; in
truth, we do not believe any very serious barns re-
sults to any particular individual : but there is harm
to the connnunity when the law is either mocked or
overstrained.—City Press.

REMARKS.

Since Saturday considerable changes have occurred in the distribu-
tion of barometrical pressure over these islands. The decrease which
had commenced in the W. on the afternoon of that day continued
with great rapidity, and during yesterday extended to all stations.
This diminution has, however, been succeeded by au increase, and
readings have now recovered considerably. Pressure is high in the
S. of France, but s ill low in Scotland the rcadingat Nairn is o'B9in.
below that at I:ocliefort. Temperature had increased yesterday,
except in the W., where it had fal:en. This morning it is lower at
almost all stations, but a fresh rise has occurred in the S. of Ireland.
During Saturdr4' night and part of yesterday hard south-westerly
gales blew on almost all our coasts, afterwards veering, as usual, to
the westward, and moderating. This morning the wind is generally
moderate in these islands—westerly on the southern coasts and
south-westerly elsewhere. In the 'W, of France strong winds con-
tinue, and a gale is reported at Cape (nee-. Rain has been general,
and thunder, lightning, and hail have prevailed in the W. The sky
is clear in the N., and cloudy or overcast elsewhere. The sea is very
high at Valencia and Cape Clear.

91HE MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE
SOCIETY.—Every Policy effected with this Society by the
31st inst. will have the advantage of one year in every Annual
Bonus.

The Directors give notice that the Policies of the Society be-
come Indisputable, and are relieved of all conditions (except
payment of the annual premiums), when they have remained
unchallenged for five years, and the life assured has completed
his 30th year.

The bonus additions allotted by the Society are highly satisfac-
tory. In a recent claim the addition to a .£l,OOO assurance, dated
1845, amounted to £l,OlO, making the total payment £2,010.

The Price of Gold.

quotatiin of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 251. 20c. per £1 sterling,
Onconiparing these rates with the English Mint price of
£.l i;s.lo4cL per ounce for standard gold, it appears t►►at
gold h about I.loth per cent. dearer in London than in
Paris.

The course of exchtnge at New York on London for bills
at 60 days' sight was on the last date about 1..9j percent.
At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold
from the Uni.cd btates.

THE CHINESE MISSION TO EUROPE.—Lord Cla-
rendon and the Hon Anson Burlingame have, we are in-
formed, agreed upon the basis of the future policy of her
Majesty s Government in relation to China. First, that
it is necessary to observe existing treaty stipulations;
secondly, that all negotiations shall be conducted
with the Central Government at Pekin, and not with
provincial :authorities ; and, thirdly, that when any
differences arise, before war shall ensue, they shall
be referred to toe Home Government for consideration.
Lord Clarendon has instructed her Majesty's agents in
China to act in this spirit and with these objects, and to
caution all British subjects to pay due respect not only to
the laws of China, but to the usages and feelings of the
Chinese people.

CONFESSION OF MURDER.

At the Lambeth Police-court on Saturday mornin.,
Wm. Showard, aged 57, was charged before Mr. Woolrych,
on his own confession, with wilfully murdering his first wife
Martha, at Norwich, on the 15th June, 1851. The prisoner,
a gentlemanly-looking man, very weak and feeble, wept
bitterly. Inspector Davis said that on Friday night while
on duty at Carter-street Police-station the prisoner came
into the office and said —" I have a charge to make against
myself, for wilfully murdering my first wife, Martha, at
Norwich. I have kept the secret for years, but I can keep
it no longer. I left home on Tuesday with the intention of
destroying myself. I intended to have cut my throat with
the razor I have got in my pocket." 1 asked him for the
razor, and he at once took it from his pocket. He then
said—" I have bean to Chelsea to-day and yesterday by
steamboat, intending to destroy myself, but the Almighty
would not let me do it. I wish I could have done it."
I then put hint into a cell, and ho moaned very much
during the night, and seemed in great distress of mind. Ho
did not mention any of the facts of the murder until this
morning. When about to bring him from the station to this
court, I said, "Do you recollect shat you said to me last
night ?" and ho replied, "Yes, perfectly well." I then asked
him if he would give any particulars of the crime he had
charged himself with. He said, "It was on the 15th Juno,
1851. 1 cut her throat with a razor." I said, "How did
you dispose of the body, or bow was it that it was not dis-
covered ?" He replied, " Tho body was cut up, and I believe
a portion was kept in spirits of wine at the Guildhall
at Norwich by order of the magistrates." I then asked him
how it was he now came and confessed, and he said, "I
went last night to a house in Richmond-street, Walwortb,
where I first saw my first wife, and that brought it
so to my mind that I was obliged to come and give my-
self up, and again he said, "You'd find it's luito trite. and
they wia know all about it at NOI wich." Prisoner further
;laded tint he l ept the Key and Castle at Norwich, and
previous to that keiA a pawnbrok..r's shod 14 or 15 years,
eml at the time of the mut dor was living at St. Martin's, at
the Palace, Norwich. In reply to Mr Woolrych the pri-
soner said.the statement made by the inspector was correct.
lie was r; manded for further inquiry.

The Right Hon. T. Milner Gibson has consented
to preside at a great metropolitan meeting in favour of the
1)allot, which is to be held at the Arundel Hall, on Friday,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE_ This Day.

MARLBOROUGH- STREET.
SINGULAR CASE.—Marie Puirier, a Frenchwoman,
was charged before Tyrwhitt with stealing a gold
watch and chain of the value of £l2, the property,
of Alexis Tourier, a waiter, living at No. 3, Rupert-
street.
M. Albert interpreted.

The prosecutor said that on Saturday morning
last about half-past one o'clock he met the pri-
soner and took her to his place, where they
had some brandy and champagne. He after-
wards fell asleep, and the prisoner, under the
pretence that she was suddenly taken ill, wanted
to leave the room. He opened the door anl let the
prisoner out and followed her down stairs. She
then left the house and he returned to his roc m ;
suspicion crossed his rniud that she might have

taken his gold watch and chin out of the pocket
of Lis waistcoat which he had hanging in his room
and he found tint that was the case, an I that the
watch and chain were gone. List night he wet the
prisoner with her "bully" in Coventry-street, and
On giving her into custody the "bully" struck him
in the presence of a constable.
Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the prosecutor whether the
prisoner said anything when she was given into
custody.

The prosecutor said at the station she sail they
could send the police, but would not find anything.
A person was in court who saw his chain in the
prisoner's" bully's" possession.

The prisoner asked the prosecutor whether he
was sure she was the same woman.

The prosecutor said he was, and that he par-
icularly noticed that she had a mole on her
'orehead.

Barnes, the gaoler, removed the prisoner's ha
and found a mole on her forehead.

Henry Poix, a Frenchman, proved seeing a gold
chain like the procecutor's in the possession of the
prisoner's bully, who had made off as soon as the
prisoner was taken by the police.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner, who denied
all knowledge of the prosecutor, for a week.
London, England, 1869-01-04

THE RESULT OF THE ELECTIONS.

In the opinion of Mr,. Goldwin Smith, who has
, carefully studied the details of the late elections
which have reached him at Cornell University, the
House of Commons will be even more plutocratic
than it was before. So far, the effect of the extended
suffrage in breaking through the monopoly of the
governing classes is zero. Nor can he perceive the
slightest alteration in the composition of the House.
Sea' rcelya singleyoung man of promise has been elected.
Science and the higher political culture are now less
represented than before. Not a particle has been
added either to the brain or to the heart of Parlia-
ment. Not the slightest additional hope is afforded
of good to come from its deliberations to the great
body of the people. All this proves, thinks Mr.
Goldwin Smith, that in Parliamentary contests the
working man cannot hope to be powerful, at all
events for some time to come. The real seat of his
power lies in his industrial organisations. Though
trades unions are often spokes of with fear and
hatred, they are never treated with contempt. They
should be maintained and extended, not fur the pur-
poses of industrial war, but as standing organisa-
tions of industry. The unions should not mix them-
selves up with mere party politics; but they should
exert their influence, not merely in legislative ques-
tions directly affecting industry, but in broadquestions
riatagicb. as the protection of the working

SUNDAY TIPPLING.

Apart from the particular prosecutions, there is,
however, something to be said. In every suburb
of London, not simply in the rural districts, but
actually within the radius of three miles or less
from the Post-office, it has long been the
custom for publicans to carry on a brisk trade
throughout the whole of the afternoon on Sun-
days. Those who doubt this may soon put the
matter to the proof, but perhaps a little initiation
may be necessary, for a sort of freemasonry is
established between the victuallers who keep their
houses open and the customers who know how
to get served. The casual„or well-dressed demure
pedestrian may pass a roadside house three
miles or so from town and observe no indica-
tion of trading—the house is as demure as him-
self, and if he should rap on the door, he would
probably get no answer. But some one initiated
in the mystery would direct him to the side en-
trance, through, perhaps, 4 stable yard or quasi-
garden, and there he would gee a constant stream
of Sunday morning ramblers passing to and fro,
and if be should succeed in ' getting that way,
he would find the beer flowing and the smoke
curling in the midst of a crowd enjoying
both with double relish, as we aro all given
to enjoy forbidden fruit. We do not raise the
question whether any great amount of drunkenness
results from this systematic evasion of the law ; in
truth, we do not believe any very serious harm re-
sults to any particular individual : but there is harm
to the community when the law is either mocked or
o verstrain cd.—City Press.

FRANCE.

The following is the speech delivered by the
Emperor to the Diplomatic Body on New Year's-
day :

"I am happy to say that a spirit of conciliation
animates all the European Powere, and that the
moment a difficulty arises they agree among them-
selves to smooth away and avert complications. I
hope that the year now commencing will contri-
bute, like the one just expired, towards removing
many apprehensions and strengthening the bonds
which should unite civilised nations."
To the congratulations of the Deputies, his Ma-
jesty replied :

" Every year the co•operation of the Legislative
Body becomes more indispensable to the preserva-
tion in France of that liberty which Carl only pros-
per through respect for the laws and a just balance
of power. It is always, therefore, with lively satis-
tion that I receive the expression of your devoted
and patriotic sentiments."

To the members of the Court of Cassation the
Emperor addressed the following :—" The sense of
justice must penetrate sow more than ever our na-
tional customs ; it is the most sure guarantee of
liberty."
His Majesty spoke a 8 follows to the clergy
The congratulations of the clergy move me deeply;
their prayers sustain and console us. From what
is going on in the world we can see how indispen-
sable it is to assert the great principles of Christi-
anity, which teach us virtue, that we may know
how to live, and immortality, that we may know
how to die."
