SPIRITUAL PHOTOGRAPHY.

On the outskirts of the ever-widening circle lighted up
by science there is always a border-land wherein supersti-
tion holds sway. The arts and sciences may drive away
the vulgar hobgoblin of darker days; but they bring with
them new sources of illusion. The ghosts of old could only
gibber ; the spirits of our day can read and
write, and play on divers instruments, and quote
5-!hakespeare and Milton. It is not, therefore,
altogether surprising to learn that they can take
photographs also. You go to have your photograph
taken, we will suppose, desiring only to see your own
features depicted in the carte ; and lo! the spirits have
been at work, and a photographic phantom makes its
appearance beside you. It is true this phantom is of a
hazy and dubious aspect, the "dull mechanic ghost" is
indistinct, and may be taken for anyone. Still, it is not
difficult for the eye of fancy to trace in it the lineaments
of some departed friend, who, it is to be assumed,
has come to be photographed along with you.
The phenomena of spiritual photography were firs_
observed some years since, and a set of carte photo-
grapherslwere sent from America to Dr. Walker, of Edin-
burgh, in which photographic phantoms were very ob-
viously, however indistinctly, discernible. More recently
an English photographer noticed a yet stranger circum-
stance, though he was too sensible to seek for a super-
natural interpretation Of it. When he took a
photograph with a particular lens, there could be
seen not only the usual portrait of the sitter, but
at some little distance a faint " double " exactly
resembling the principal image. Superstitious minds
might find this result even more distressing than
the phantom photographic friend. To be visited by the
departed through the medium of a lens is, at least, not
more unpleasing than to hold converse with spirits
through an ordinary " rapping " medium. But the
appearance of a " double " or " fetch," has ever been
held by the learned in ghostly lore to signify approach.
ing death. Fortunately, both one and the other appear-
ance can be very easily accounted for without
calling in the aid of the supernatural. At a recent meet-
ing of the Photographical Society it was shewn that an
image may often be so deeply impressed in the glass that
the subsequent cleaning of the plate, even with strong
acids, will not completely remove the picture. When
the plate is used for receiving another picture,
the original image makes its reappearance, and as
It is too faint to be recognisable, a highly susceptible
imagination may readily transform it into the
image of a departed friend. The " double "is generated
by the well-known property of double refraction, obtained
by a lens under certain circumstances of unequal pressure,
or sometimes by inequalities in the process of annealing.
So vanish two ghosts which might have been more or less
troublesome to those who are ready to see the supernatural
in commonplace phenomena. Will the time ever
come when no more such phantoms will remain to be
exercised ?--Daily News.

THAMES.

JUVENILE BA.NDITTI IN Bow.—Alfred Rouko, alias Rook,
costermonger, and Henry Marchant, painter, each aged 17
years, were charged with stealing 10 cakes, value 55., from
the shop of Mr. Nuding, baker and confectioner, 7, Camp-
bell-road, Bow.

The prosecutor and an oilman and keeper of an Italian
warehouse, his neighbour, gave a lamentable account of
the depredations of a juvenile banditti in Bow
who robbed shops with impunity. The oil and colour-
man had suffered much in the loss of jams,
of which the boys were very fond, and also suffered from
the young ruffians stealing soap, brushes, brooms, wood,
or any article they could hiy their hands on. Mr. Nuding
had also been a great loser by the incursions of the juve-
nile banditti. There was a tray of large cakes in his win-
dow at 7 o'clock on_ Thursday evening. At 8 they were
gone. Ile only turned his back and weep into his parlour
for 2 or 3 minutes, and in the course of that time the tray
of cakes were stolen. He had seen the prisoners looking
into his shop on several occasions. Mr Albert Rayner, of
Florence-villa, Fairford-row, Bow, saw the prisoners and
and another running. He knew they belonged to the
Bow banditti, and followed them. He saw them with a
tray of cakes standing against the railings of a house
near his own. He pounced upon them and captured the
prisoners, who made a show of resistance. He threatened
to knock their heads against a brick wall, and secured
them. He conveyed both to the station-house, and five
aud:a half cakes were found in their pockets.;
Mr. Nuding—l lost 10 cakes ; four and a half are gone.
They are worth 6d. each, and the tray ls. 6d. more.
A policeman said that Marchant was the leader of the
juvenile banditti of Bow, and was in custody a few days
ago for stealing a till and its contents.
William Arthur Whiting said that a boy not in custody
entered his shop a few days ago, stole a pot of jam, and
handed it to Rook.
The magistrate remanded the prisoners for a week, and
other cases will be preferred.

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
to the advantage and profit of both institutions. It is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.

MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The transactions to-day at the Stock Exchange
have been very limited in consequence of the very
limited attendance, the principle members being
absent. There has been a slight decline in some
of the foreign stocks, but the variation is
not to an extent that requires merely a passing
reference. The same may be said of the railway
market, Metropolitans having gone down since the
opening. The Stock Exchange will be closed on
Monday, and therefore there is a disinclination to
do business to-day. In Banking and Miscellaneous
shares the prices remain as quoted on Thursday
last, and so does the rate of discount.
Consols are 93 for money ; ditto, for Ac-
count, 931; Three per Cent. Reduced, 911 ;

taken place in Brazilian of 1865, Egyptian of 1868,

are :—Brazilian of 1865, 791 to 80 ; Chilian of
1867, 941 to 951 ; Egyptian of 1864, 89 to 4 ;
ditto of 1868, 751 to 76 ; Italian of 1861, 551 to 4 ;

Charcow, 771 to 4 ; Turkish of 1858,1,63 to 64 ;
ditto of 1862, 664 67 ; and ditto of 1865, 444 to I.
In the Railway Market Caledonians have risen
to 87 to 4, and Metropolitans have dropped to 1021
to 4. London and North -w esters are 1151 to 1 ;

scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-

extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will

THE HABEAS CORPUS ACT.

The Habeas Corpus Act is no longer suspended in
Ireland, and we have now to see what will be the
effect of the " policy of justice and conciliation "
which the Ministry boast they have inaugurated.
The first act of the Government, the release of the
Fenian convicts, is not auspicious. Released in order
that we might shew our strength, they have taken it
as a sign of weakness. Set free that we might shew
we had no fear of them, they have regarded it as an
indication that we are afraid to punish them. It is
to be hoped that the same result will not follow the
resumption of the Habeas Corpus.

THE ELECTION Ct

The principal interest now centres in the Bridgwater
inquiry, where evidence is being taken of the practices
carried on during the two elections of Mr. Patton.
A man named Bussell stated that at the election in
18(10 "Matthews" called upon him, and "his lady
a day or two afterwards brought him £BOO in gold.
The " lady " made it up in £lO packets. Bussell
received £350, which ho gave to various
parties to -vote for Patton. At the second contest
Matthews brought down £l,OOO for the purpose, it
was stated, of paving outstanding. bills. Another
witness said it was generally understood that if a
man voted early he was sure of £lO, but in the after-
noon there was a probability of his getting £25. This
explains why Bagehot was so far ahead at twelve
o'clock, whilst, by spending an extra £3OO, Patton
won by seven votes. Mr. Brice, a solicitor, said
Westropp might probably have spent £4,000
or £5,000 in the course of his connection
with the borough. Fie thought the last election was
pure on the part of the Conservatives, " except
perhaps in one isolated case."
The evidence given at Beverley did not bring out
any important facts. At Norwich the solicitor for
Sir Henry Stracey said he considered the city had
been maligned, the last election being one of the
purest in England, considering the size of the con-
stituency. The small amount of bribery which
prevailed at the last election would cost £lO,OOO to
unravel.
