LATV AND POLICE.

STEALING DRESSES.—AIfred Howard, a gentlemanly man,
was charged at Marlborough-street with obtaining two
dresses, value £3B, from Messrs. Jay, of Regent-street, by
fraud. The prisoner, accompanied by a woman, went to Messrs.
Jay, and selected the dresses which he ordered to be sent
to Bolton-street. When they wore brought, he gave a
cheque on Hoare's Bank for the money, but there was no
account in his name. Two van-loads of miscellaneous
property were taken from his lodgings, which it was believed
had been obtained by similar frauds. The prisoner was
remanded.

STEALING Max.—Amen and wife, named Coleman, were
charged at Clerkenwell with stealing eighty-six quarts of
milk, the property of their employer. He visited their
house and found in a can five quarts more of milk than
they had been supplied with. The female prisoner said
she had added some water to the milk supplied her, and
thought the surplus her perquisite. The prosecutor
denied that he had sanctioned such a practice, and the
prisoners were committed for trial, bail being granted.
CFMEITY TO A llonsn.-1 bute:er, named Gal
fined £3, at Worship-street, fur cruelty t: a horse. .%
constable saw the prisoner driving fast along Bethnal-
green-road, but the horse was going on three legs. The

A BAD 111oTnnu.—A ragged lif;ble girl, 10 years old, way
charged, on remand at Worship-street, with begging. llc r
mother, it appeared, sent her out to 3211 fusees, telling her
to run away if she saw a policeman. The child was beaten
if she took home less than fourpcnce. The mother was
charged with sending the child out to beg, but as the child
was too ignorant to be sworn, she was discharged with a
caution.

Snell GOLD CIIAINS.—A woman, a day or two since,
applied for advice to the Lambeth magistrate. Her
husband bought a pawn-ticket for a "gold" chain, pledged
for 2s. On taking the chain out of pledge it proved to
be worthless. The applicant wished to know if her hus-
band could proceed against the pawnbroker. The magistrate
said certainly not, but ho could proceed against the man
who sold the ticket.
Tim POA.CRING AFFRAYS NEAR BLACKBURN.—Thellack-
'burn county magistrates have committed the five men
implicated in the murderous poaching affray on the 2nd
inst., in which two policemen showed extraordinary
courage and were severely hurt. The three other poachers
who were charged with attempting to murder the farmer
Eastham have been discharged, as the prosecutor was
unable to identify them.

BOILER EXPLOSION AT INDIANAPOLIS.

On the Ist of October a terrible accident occurred at the
state fair of Indiana by the bursting of a steam boiler.
Twelve persons were instantly killed, and the number of
the wounded will reach nearly one hundred. It was after-
wards reported that some more persons had been killed,
bringing up the number to nineteen. The boiler was at-
tached to a saw-mill, and had just been fired up for test
with another machine. The scene at the fair ground was
most heartrending. Many of the killed were torn into
fragments, and it is feared that several of the wounded
will die, as they have been most seriously injured. Governor
Balser was on the ground at the time of the explosion. A
portion of the boiler passed over his head, and struck him,
injuring him severely.

MORE DEMONSTRATIONS.

The great and joint work of letting loose the
Fenian prisoners and demolishing landlordism pro-
gresses apace in Ireland. The agitations in favour of an
amnesty and tenant right have been formally united
and meetings are being held all over the land. At
Kanturk 10,000 persons mustered on Sunday, under
the presidency of the Very Rev. P. (Megan,
P.P. This gentleman admitted the difficulty
of passing a measure which would do
justice to the tenants without despoilinr, the
landlords ; but he had faith in the Ministry, "because
the earnest, truthful, high-minded Gladstone, whose
word is his bond, has plighted that word." Two
clergymen proposed a resolution in favour of fixity of
tenure, and then came the turn of the incarcerated
patriots, whose sufferings provoked a mildly-expressed,
but firm resolution.

The same day day there was an amnesty meeting at
Bandon and another at Nenagh. At the latter place there
was a procession of 600 young women ; 20,000 persons
assembled. " Give us back our heroes " was the
plaintive cry on many a flag and banner. One Roman
Catholic clergyman got into hot water for treating
the release of 'the prisoners as an act of mercy. The
assembly thought the amnesty a matter of right, not
a favour. Warned by this example, the
Rev. Mr. • Quaid committed no such error.
The Government were blood-thirsty ; the men in
gaol were noble. He was there, he said, to
tell the British Government to their face that their
talk of Tulin; Ireland according to Irish ideas was all
"bosh." and he did not believe in them. "Oh, how,"
he exclaimed, " are the mighty fallen I That nation
which was once a great one is now governing in fear,
and may God increase that fear." This suitable Sun-
day prayer exactly met the ideas of the gathering, which
cheered vociferously. At the Bandon meeting the
Rev. Mr. O'Keefe mentioned the obnoxious word
"mercy," and was angrily interrupted. On Sunday,

THE TIDES THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN HIGH.

The lamentable failure of the late tides to swamp
the British Islands has, of course, brought out the
authorities. Mr. Dowson, of NV estminster, begs "to
say a few words for the pfirpose of shewing to those
unacquainted with the subject that there is not the
slightest uncertainty or doubt as to the nature, extent,
or duration of our tides." lle then goes on to shew
that divers peculiarities of the English coast pro-
duce remarkable local currents and modifications in
tides. At one place, where the water neither rises nor
falls, there is a strong current at spring tides. At
another place, where the tide both rises and falls,
there is no current whatever. In the Solent there
is sometimes what is called " double high-water''
—that is, after the tido has been ebbing for
about an hour it turns and flows again for some
time. Trumpet-mouthed estuaries extending far
inland exhibit interestingphenomena. Large volumes
of water enter by the wTde mouth, and as the estuary
narrows the water is obliged to rise. For the safety
of navigation, it has been necessary to closely observe
and record the effects of all those local phenomena,
and elaborate tables are published every year by the
Admiralty. They give every information touch-
ing tides at different points on the coast. These
tables, which are " a monument of the
successful application of science," shewed
clearly enough, Mr. Dowson thinks, _that there
was no occasion for alarm a few days ago. Very
likely ; but the British public is hardly in the humour
to think so at present. The " monument of the suc-
cessful application of science " did not save it from a
decided swindle. The British public was deluded
into the idea that there would be a flood. It mus-
tered in great force at suitable points for the purpose
of seeing its beloved brethren drowned out. The
fun did not come off, and nothing, therefore, is likely
to induce the injured persons who vainly paid their
excursion fares, to put further trust in tide-tables. To
talk about infallible tables now is only adding insult
to injury.

VAST LONDON lIOSPITAL for CHILDREN.
The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which
shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit-
able buildings. The premises now occupied are crowded
and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that
circumstance. It is impossible even to purchase on whole-
sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want
of room for stowage, every inch of available space being
occupied. There is a daily demand for more beds, and the
staff of nurses would be able to attend upon more children,
but no more can be admitted in the present building.
£B,OOO at least is required to carry out this much-wished-
for and urgent scheme.

MALARIA MANUFACTURE.

The inhabitants of London are realising to the full
the blessings of red tape. The Serpentine in Hyde
Park has become a pestilential swamp. Typhus fever
lurks in its mud. Mr. Layard, the Chief Commis-
sioner of Public Works, has given orders that the
lake shall be reduced to a uniform depth, with a
solid bottom. This is now being done : the water
has been drawn off; and a hideous expanse of black
mud has been revealed. The Londoners are reaping
the full benefit of this proceeding. The effluvium is
overpowering, the weather is
.unusually warm, and
the
plat© "teems with an insidious and deadly
poison." " Chirurgus" writes to say that ho has
offered himself up a sacrifice for the public weal.
" Fortified with some biscuits and wine "—it is fortu-
nate he did .not fortify himself with medicine—
" Chirurg,us " proceeded to the deadly spot, but
speedily had to -beat a retreat. " A feeling of nausea
and loathing came suddenly upon me, coupled with
headache and heating of the central arteries,
giving unmistakable indications of blood-poisoning."
And. what is the cause of all this dissemination
of pestilence ? Simply that only half-a-dozen
labourers were employed, and that these, having laid
bare the mud, are rejoicing in the prospect of spending
several weeks in leisurely scratching it away. It is
true that fifty men might have been set to work and
proper disinfectants used ; hut the Chief Commis-
sioneris absent from town, and who shall dare to
employ fifty men, when Mr. Layard, it would seem,
has appointed six ? Nobody appears disposed to take
upon himself such a responsthilit

The question of the proposed union of the Wash-
ington and Jeffereon Colleges was effectually settled by
Judge fkl'Candless of the United States District Court at
Williamsport, Pennsylvania, Sept. 18. The court de-
cided that an injunction restraining them from removing
the college buildings and property thould ho granted,
which leaves the colleges separate as heretofore.

TUE CHINESE COOLIE TRADE.

The St. Helena Guardian publishes a terrible account of
the Chinese coolie trade. The French barque Tamaris,
Captain Rannie, left Macao on February 6th, with 300
emigrants, a Chinese doctor, a Portuguese interpreter, and
a crew of eighteen men. After proceeding for some time
quietly enough, a revolt broke out among the free
emigrants. The crew took to the boats, leaving the captain
behind them. He was cut up and thrown overboard, and
the coolies remained in possession of the ship for thirty
days. A Dutch man-of-war was sent in pursuit,
and captured the vessel. Her captain placed the leaders
of the revolt in irons, and took the ship to
Padang, where the remnant of the former crew rejoined
their ship. A now captain and chief officer were appointed
and on the 15th of June the ship started once more. The
number of coolies had been reduced by arms and disease to
245, and many of these jumped overboard when they
beard they were to proceed on their voyage. Others com-
mitted suicide in other ways, and some died from the
effects of opium. When the last account was heard,
only seventy-five living emigrants remained on board the
Tamaris.

HEALTH OF LORD DERBY.

From inquiries made at St. James's-square
shortly before going to Tress, we learn thst the
latest accounts from Knowsley report Lord Derby
to have passed a very restless night, and to be in a
very exhausted condition this morning.

POLICE IN TELL IG EN CE.— 7 las Day.

MARLBOIcO UGH STREET.

THE EARLY CLOSING ACT.—Mr. Jan Whiting, of the
Adam's Arms, Hampstead-street, was summoned for un-
lawfully keeping open his house for the sale aud consump-
tion of liquor during prohibited hours, against the terms
of his license.

Mr. E. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for
the defendant.

A constable of the E division said he visited the defen-
dant's house about two o'clock on the morning of the 21
inst. and found 17 persons just finishing supper. The de-
fendant said he had a special license from the Commis
sioners of Police authorising him to keep his house open
but witness pointed out that the license applied to the pre-
vious day, Oct. 1.
In reply to Mr. Lewis, the witness said ho was aware
tho defendant had not used his special license granted by
the Commissioners of Police on the day for which it was
available.

Mr. Lewis submitted that the defendant had offended
against the letter and not against the spirit of his special
licence. The annual supper of the Journeymen Carvers'
Trade Society was held each year at defendant's house, and
he had applied and obtained a license authorising
his house to be kept open for that purpose until two in
the morning of the Ist, and was continued into the small
hours of the following morning. The commissioners
license contemplated the holding of the supper on the nigh
of the 30th ult. and the holding of the first. Had the de-
fendant pointed out that the license was required for the
morning of the 2d it would of course have been granted.
The defendant had not used his license for any purpose
other than that contemplated by the commissioners, in
fact what he had done was the result of a more mistake
in the form of his application to the commissioners,
whereby they were misled into supposing he was apply-
ing for a license for a supper to be held on the night of
the Ist instead of the night of that day and the following
morning. _ _

In reply to Mr. Tyrwhitt, an inspector said the house
was remarkably well conducted.
Mr. Lewis said that bad there been the least complaint
against the house a special license could not have been
granted.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said, although the police were justified in
asking for an investigation, it was not a case for a penalty.
The defendant would merely have to pay the costs, and
he thought tho police had been rather sharp.

OUR FOOD SUPPLY.

A highly interesting and important experiment
relating to our supply of food will shortly be made.
Early in November, it has been decided, the first
of the line of steamers built expressly for the trans-
port of live cattle from Buenos Ayres to this country
will sail from London. There is much reason to
believe, and every reason to hope, that this 6nterprise
may prove successful. As in Australia, vast
herds of cattle roam the South ' American
prairies, and through the difficulty of transport
are incapable of being utilised. But Australia
is so far off that the only mode of getting meat hero
is in a preserved condition, its use being thus limited.
Buenos Ayres, however, is so much nearer that it is
hoped to bring the animals over eye, and thus fur-
nish fresh meat in abundance at a low price. The
.
supply of cattle South America is so inexhaustible
that the meat, with the cost of transrort added, can
be sold at a figure much lower than that now charged
in England.
