THAMES.

EXPOSING GOODS Fon SAms.--Ellen Young, a poor and
squalid-looking woman with a child in her arms, was
brought before Mr. Selfe charged with stealing 14 yards of
carpeting, value 6s. 6d., the property of Mr. Mittlebrook,
a draper, of No. 18, Crisp-street, Poplar.
The prosecutor said there was a piece of carpet exposed
for sale on the pavement outside his shop, and having heard
that it was stolen, and that the prisoner, who was pointed
out to him, was the thief, he went after her and overtook
her about 300 or 400 yards from the shop with the carpet
in her possession, and took it from her. It was worth
6 s. 6d.

Mr. Selfo—And it was exposed for sale in the street
holding out a temptation to theft.

The prosecutor said there was always a boy watching his

goods.

Mr. Selfe—But he does not watch them sufficiently to
prevent robberies; and if he did, the system of exposing
goods for sale in the street, in front of tradesmen's shops,
would not be the less objectionable. Besides, it is illegal.
The prisoner, who is 38 years of age, and said she had been
living at No. 1, James-street, Poplar, vehemently protested
that she kicked against the piece of carpeting on the pave-
ment, and picked it up.

The prosecutor said the carpet was on the top of other
goods outside his shop and not on the pavement at all.
Mr. Selfe—lt amounts to the same thing. You hold out
a temptation to crime in every way, You have no right,
morally or legally, to put your goods in the street. The
practice has caused an immense deal of crime. I hope
the court to which I am going to send this case will not
allow any expenses. I never will under such circumstanceig.
The county ought not to be put to any expel ;se wliateTer.
The prisoner is committed for

Among the more serious losses is that of the Arctic, iron
screw steamship, Captain Bowes, commander, which was
on her usual passage from Hull and Grimsby to St. Peters-
kurg. By the telegraph despatch, dated Skioe, Saturday
morning, October 6, it appears that the ill-fated steamer
was wrecked on the 4th inst. near Lowoig, on the coast
of Jutland, and that four of the passengers and two of the
crew were drowned. The Arctic was a new ship, having
only been last year built, and was 674 tons. She was a
favourite vessel on the station, and had a valuable gene-
ral cargo. It was understood that she was insured
altogether for £50,000, more than half of which was effected
at Lloyd's. The fatal wrecks of several English ships with
all on board are reported. They were mostly from the Tyne
and northern ports. The brig Marsden, Mr. Eskdaile
master, of Shields, was carried high on the beach at Nidden,
near Memel; also a Pomeranian schooner and two ships
stranded near Libau. The telegram states that the names
of the vessels are not known, but that all hands were lost.
Near Borkum two ships were wrecked, the Tiberius, Captain
Harris, and the Carlisle, belonging to Shields, both crews
perishing, The brig Hendon, of Sunderland, was lost at
Geestenwade, and the master, Mr. Lon gstaff, mate, and four
men were drowned. In the Cattegat a schooner was seen
to founder by the Mercurius, which arrived at Elsineur on
the sth ; nothing was seen of the crew, and it was believed
that they had perished.

The telegram from Thisted, dated yesterday morning,
states that during the hurricane of the 4th, sth, and 6th,
no fewer than 13 ships were cast ashore. They are thus
enumerated—Richard, Schultz master, of Dantzic ; Hertha,
of Coslin ; Palme, of Stettin ; Helene, of Soderhamn ;
Meickena, of Groningen; Eugene and Pauline, of Nantes ;
Travail, of St. Malo ; Harmonie, of Frederikstadt ; Louise,
of Libau; Mina and Carl, of Leer ; and Espiegle, of Jacquey.
At Skioe, in addition to the Arctic steamer, seven vessels,
laden with timber and grain, were lost. They were the
Berend, of Harlingen; Emanuel, of Friesland; Maria, of
Stockholm; Margaretha, of Burgtade ; Kronsprins Frede-
rick, of Drobak ; Albrecht Thaer, of Doram. A despatch
from Riga mentions several vessels to have been stranded
on the Livonian coast during the gale, and that they had
since become wrecks. The Cyrus, bound to Dundee from
Riga, was stranded on the Oesel. The Ludovico, from
Memel to Lynn, and the Francisco, from the Tyne to
Memel, were wrecked at Helgared, near Helingborg.
The Agnes, from London to Stettin, was lost at Tore-
kow. The brig Jamesons, Mr. Robertson, from New-
castle, is reported to be lost near Norden. The brig St.
Lawrence was stranded on Bornholm. The Wider, from
Sunderland, was cast ashore near Proebbernan, and the
Russian ship Archangel Michael, from St. Petersburg, was
stranded and lost near Nerve. From Elsinore, a list of
waterlogged and leaky ships has been forwarded by tele-
graph ; among them are the Harmonie, from Sundswall, for
Douglas ; the Henriette, Kleist, for Hull ; the Alchymist,
Andrews, from Newcastle, for Cronstadt ; and the Minstrel
Boy, for Littlehampton. The Alnwick packet was lost on
the Moasdroogden.

It is needless to add that considerable anxiety is felt for
several vessels and two steamers bound to England that
were known to be in the Baltic at the time of the gale.

"Juan de Borbon," in a letter to the Times,
says :—Sir,----I have read with the greatest atten-
tion the article which referred to my Manifesto to
the Spaniards. lam thankful to you for the justice
which it dispenses towards me, for the enlightened
treatment of the question it exhibits, and for the
frank and loyal manner with which you have esti-
mated my conduct ; and I rely upon your kindness
to permit me to make a few observations. I
disclaim, once for all, any intention of kindling
a civil war in Spain. I believe firmly that the
country is very far from occupying the position
which it ought. Its progress is the effect of the
advancement of the age in which we live, and of
the efforts of a great people who desire to be rege-
nerated, in spite of those who oppress them ; for no
one can repress the expansion of progressive ideas.
The improvements in Spain are not what they
ought to be; they are not what they would be if
there existed in that country a liberal system,
frankly accepted and faithfully observed. You will
derive information on the liberty enjoyed in Spain
from all the newspapers which are not in the pay of
the Government, and from the 100,000 men who
are compelled to be soldiers against their will ; of
its credit from the Stock Exchanges of London and
Amsterdam; of its toleration from the Jews, and
from all the other foreigners who dissent from the
Catholic religion. Of its prosperity you will be
taught by its waste lands and the thousand enter-
prises which die for want of credit. To the efficacy
of the colonial system the inhabitants of Cuba can
testify, governed as they are by the laws of the
Indies of the time of Philip IL ; and as to the good-
ness of the economical system, the oppressed con-
tributors can say a word about that.
All political parties are preoccupied with the bad
state of Spain. Except among the men in authority,
the necessity of a change is in the conscience of
every Spaniard. Any system would be preferable
to the present one ; and if the reforms which the
country requires are not made by the means of a
legitimately constituted Government, they will,
sooner or later, be brought about after a period of
anarchy and through torrents of blood.
My ambition is limited to the desire of contribu-
ting to the welfare of my country. For me the
Crown possesses no other attraction. In my in-
fancy I was judged and expelled from my country ;
against the decrees of every tribunal there is an
appeal ; I do not promote revolution, I appeal to
the Spanish people. If they, after hearing me, re-
ject me, my future privacy will not be less cheerful
from the consciousness of having performed my
duty.
You believe that there is some contradiction be-
tween my legitimate rights, which y ou acknowledge,
and the fact of my appealing to the people. That is
not my opinion. Of every candidate qualifications
are required. If, in order to be member of Parlia-
ment, General, President of a Republic, or merely
elector even with the universal suffrage, some title
is demanded, even if it be simply that of a citizen, I
am of opinion that some qualification is also required
of him who aspires to be King of the Spaniards.
Napoleon 111., in soliciting the votes of the French
people, did not 'forget—nor did the electors forget—
his family antecedents, its glory, and its traditions ;
those were his titles to present himself as a candi-
date. On the convenience of Italy and his per-
sonal position Victor Emmanuel has founded
his claim to the sovereignty of that coun-
try. I base my title on the rights which I repre-
sent, and on the national requirements. If I do
not receive a hearing, a revolution and its conse-
quences are imminent. It is from a sentiment of
duty that I bring forward my pretensions and sub-
mit them to the people. I comply with my obliga-
tions and the dictates of my conscience, and I
believe that I am consistent in my conduct.
I may commit an error in my mode of proceeding,
but I can assert that I do not carry my desires
further than for the public good ; and I repeat that
I am not guided by any other ambition, nor is it I
who will promote a civil war.
