MISCELLANEOUS NETVS.

tile -act of endeavouring to ettext an entrance Into Ms
house through the kitchen window, he duly attended
at the police-court, with his mother, who was the
principal witness to prefer the charge, and the
prisoner was remanded, being liberated on bail. The
next day the writer and his mother were again at
the police-court but after waiting in a side
room until five o'clock, they were informed that
the man had brought satisfactory evidence of his
character and had been discharged. If this instance
fairly indicates the practice at police-courts, no
wonder thieves are many and prosecutors few.
DEATH IN A POLICE. CELL.

The death of a woman who was carried on a
stretcher to the police-station, all but naked, and was
locked up, cold, wet, exhausted, and imperfectly clad,
a few days since, has called forth a communication
from Dr. Painter, for seven years surgeon to the
Bow-street police, in which he points out that the
great fault of the present system is, that for the sake
of economy the surgeon is not sent for nearly so often
to the police-station as he ought to be; and that the
inspector or sergeant on duty is the sole judge as to
whether a given case requires a doctor, and is one of
intoxication, illness, bodily injury, or what not; and
this, although the discrimination between intoxica-
tion, apoplexy, starvation, fracture of the skull, or
some kinds of poisoning, is frequently so difficult as
to tax the skill of the most careful surgeon. When-
ever there is the very slightest suspicion of illness or
accident the surgeon should be sent for. Though
this is admitted to be the rule, as a matter of fact
it is not acted on to the extent it ought to be. The
writer remarks that the sad story upon which he
comments is not an isolated case. A few years since
a similar one came under his own notice, and from
that time, on his recommendation a general order was
given that every stretcher should be provided with
a woollen rug. It was further advised that at every
station a thick woollen coat and trousers, and a
similar kind of gown and petticoat, should be kept
for the use of such cases as the above ; also that
every station should have one cell with a wooden
floor, and no bench, where persons should be placed
who were likely to fall or roll off the bench. Also,
that all cells should be provided with
„pillows made of
some strong material, as it is most injurious to many
persons to lie or sleep on a level surface.
THE VACANCY IN RENFAEIVSIIIRE.
The Daily Telegraph recommends the electors of
Renfrewshire to elect the Marquis of Ifartington in
the place of the late Captain Speirs. We doubt if
this advice will be followed. Ilenfrewshire is rather
a Conservative constituency, and it was chiefly by
his large territorial possessions and personal popu-
larity that Captain Speirs succeeded in defeating the
old Conservative member in 1865.
ANOTHER MARRIAGE AMONG TEE CAMPBELLS.
The Duke of Argyll, having just married his
daughter to the heir of the Percys, is about to
marry one of his sons to his ward. The North
British Daily Mail announces that " the marriage of
Lord Archibald Campbell, the son, and Miss
Callander, the ward of the Duke of Argyll, will take
place early in January, at Argyll Lodge." It seems
almost a pity that there was not a "double
wedding."

FOREIGN NOTES
INDIA.
Tud appotntment to the India Office seems to have given
general satisfaction in India. The new Ministry is strong
In statesmen who might be advantageously appointed to
rule our Eastern empire, and, as the Times of India re-
marks of the two most probable candidates, Mr. Bright and
the Duke of Argyll, India felt she would be well off with
either. Mr. Bright has long been looked upon as a future
Secretary of State for the great British possession, but his
strong denunciation of the East India Company at Edin-
burgh diminished the hope of his appointment.
The great preparations which were made in Bombay for
the reception of Lord Mayo induced some of the Bengal
journals to regret that none of this excitement was caused
by the expected arrival of Lord Napier. The Abyssinian
expedition never gave rise to much enthusiasm in Bombay.
The return of the victorious army was scarcely noticed.
Certainly, if Lord Mayo deserved a demonstrative wel-
come, it ought not to have been wanting to the conqueror
of Theodore.
Sir John Lawrence having resolved to retain his position
until the last day of his term, Lord Mayo cannot take the
oaths of office until January 12. The Indian papers
regarded his recall as not improbable. "It cannot be
denied," says the Bombay Gazette, " that a strong feeling
prevails—arising, of course, from no personal dislike to
Lord Mayo, but from a conviction that he does not
possess the special qualifications which would fit him for
the high office to which he has been appointed—that the
new Ministry would be performing its duty if
even at this late moment it determined to send
out a more suitable man than the Conservative nominee."
The Pioneer observes that as the office is not vacant, and
its the nomination will rest with the Liberals, the recall of
Lord Mayo would be perfectly justifiable. But it recom-
mends that Mr. Disraeli's selection be confirmed, and
believes that such will be the course adopted.
The news fromthe famine-stricken districts is no hotter.
Troops are being withdrawn from all the provinces where
the food is required for the inhabitants; but in some cases
this is attended with danger, for the starving natives are
already resorting to violent measures for procuring sub
sistence.

An American, named Walker, who was required to take
the oath of allegiance to the King of Burmah, was beaten
and nearly murdered by the Burmese officials on his
refusal to do so. This outrage will give rise to some little
difficulty between Burmah and the United States.
The statement that the Russian authorities had imposed
a duty of 50 per cent. on all British goods imported into
Central Asia is confirmed. This extraordinary regu-
lation has had a very unfavourable effect upon
the trade of Northern India, large orders have already
been cancelled. Throughout the empire it is looked upon
almost as an act of hostility, and the Indian journals
express the hope that the Foreign Office will at once make
representations on the subject at St. Petersburg. It cer-
tainly is a barbarous and retrograde measure, such as she
civilised world has already refused to tolerate in the case
of. China and Japan.

The news from Afighanistan is much like that from
Paraguay. It is now ascertained that the " great battle"
between Shere Ali and. Abdul Rahman was a concoction.
Shere Ali has the best of the situation, but no battle has
taken place.

Sea ; but AS UP:"dal
with these great discoverers he
is short of the "ready," was unable to provide for
his former wife and daughter, and was committed
to prison in default of $lO,OOO bail. Cunningham,
another man, accomplished in four weeks what had
taken Jannett years to do. Representing him-
self as a wealthy Californian, he went about the coun-
try, putting up at likely farm houses; where the
daughters were well off he would make up a match,
take his wife to one of the great cities, and after a
few days run away with hervaluables. He was arrested
in Westchester county when about to lead a widow to
the altar, and I only hope that, if proved, it may be
the last opportunity he will ever have of practising
that little game, the most vile and cowardly of which
a man can be guilty. The " Bourbon" case has been
again before the court ; District Attorney Courtney
is working to try all the accused together on a
charge of conspiracy to defraud the Government,
but I suppose it will end in Mr. Courtney being
himself gobbled up, the almost invariable fate of
those who attempt to break into the " ring." The
case was postponed, as usual, in the absence of some
of the defendants. The Erie Railway war has taken
a new phase, and as if the present tangle is not
enough to unravel they have dragged up the Drew-
Vanderbilt fight of last spring. 'The company desire
to enforce on the Commodore a vast number of
shares which he sold to the directors last summer, but
as his price was 70, and the present market rate
little over half that, he stoutly resists the pressure.
One of the suits is for tha recovery from him of four
and a half millions of dollars, paid it,is said by Drew,
out of Erie funds to compromise the old quarrel, yet
it is but one of several cases, and the public are
growing weary of these Erie affairs. The police
are instructed to arrest street beggars and juvenile
pedlars. We make less bother about invading the
right of such citizens than in London, where the
lives of weak-knee'd brethren, as far as I recollect,
are often endangered by little wretches with brooms
dancing straight in their front, while a Hansom
shoots down one way and a lumbering " bus"
comes up the other, the difficulty of keeping one's
feet on the greasy mud of the pavement being
enough without any other obstruction. Friends of
mine recently returned from London tell me that
street begging is worse than ever, and has really
become a nuisance, particularly to my kind-hearted
countrymen who cannot look calmly upon such dis-
tress, and I fear I may add, without being often im-
posed on. Superintendent Kennedy has ordered
our young beggars to be given over to the Corn-
missioners of Charity and Correction, who will
look after them during the winter. The case ol
Commodore Meade, who, by the way, is brother ol
General George Meade, has excited a good deal of
interest. Mr. C. K. Landis of Vineland gives his
version of the affair. It was he through whom, it was
said, the Commodore had been arrested on a certifi-
cate of insanity granted by two Tombs physicians,
when a suitor for the hand of the Commodore's
daughter. He says that in January he first met the
young lady at the Commodore's house in Wash-
ington, and then learnt that it required a doughty
knight to carry her off, as the father kept watch
and ward over her, and had driven at the point of
the sword every suitor out of the house. The
difficulty and danger may have been an addi-
tional attraction to Mr. Landis, for he quickly
demanded from the Commodore the surrender of
the prize. The short, sharp, and decisive answer
conveyed a peremptory order to desist, followed by
another, threatening serious consequence if the first
was not obeyed. He deigned, however, then to enu-
merate his objections, which Mr. Landis thus
gives :—" First, my age ; second, my religion ;
third, being an entire stranger. Being at the time
31 years old, I was at a loss to know whether he
meant that I was too young or too old. I did not
care about adopting any new religion, and being
fully his equal in birth and education, and having
lived for 11 years upon my own estate in New
Jersey, with my banner on the outer wall,' I
could not possibly sympathize with the last objec-
tion." He consulted the Commodore's son, Capt.
Meade, and other members of the family, who ad-
vised him to pay no attention to the Commodore,
who, for some time, had suffered from aberration
of mind, caused or aggravated by unjust treatment
from the Government in respect to a claim of mil-
lions of dollars, and in the loss of the San Jacinto.
The attentions were continued, the more so as the
wooer would have blushed at anything like per-
sonal danger influencing his conduct, and he was
aware that the Commodore was watching for au
opportunity to shoot him. The marriage was ap-
pointed to take place on the 14th October, at the
residence of the young lady's uncle, Mr. C. A.
Meigs, of Staten Island. Although warned that he
would be shot if the Commodore got a sight of
him, he crossed the ferry on the 14th in an open
carriage in broad daylight, feeling he was risking
his life in a good cause, and with his father, sister,
and chief secretary arrived at the house. It was,
perhaps, well for Mr. Landis that the Commodore's
son, Captain Meade, had on the previous day shut
up his father in Bloomingdale Asylum. On his
person were several revolvers, and in his valise four
more, while a gang of roughs had been engaged to
stop Mr. Landis's progress to his marriage. The
family expected that the match would be broken
off, but Mr. Landis insisted on the ceremony
being performed, and it is evident that he had
nothing to do with the Commodores incarceration,
and that he acted throughout not only as a brave
but as an honourable man, and in accord with all
the other members of the Meade family. 'The
Commodore has published a letter thanking the
press, the judiciary, and the public, and threa-
tening fuller particulars. On the subject of insanity,
we may mention that Ebenezer Haskell, a well-
known Philadelphian, has, after three years' impri-
sonment in a private mad house, been pronounced by
a jury to be sane. He made prodigious efforts to
escape from a dark cell in which he was long con-
fined. He sawed through iron bars, and fractured
his leg by a fall in scaling the wall. It must not
be supposed, however, that all the lunatics in Ame•
rica are thus treated. On Thanksgiving-day, at
the asylum on Blackwell's Island, there was a grand
dance, followed by a magic-lantern exhibition. Capt.
Weise, who served in the 7th New York Regt. during
the war, was one of the rational insane dancers, with
a nice, quiet-looking woman, who only went mad
on meeting her husband, on whom she would rush
with a carving knife, if she could get one, to kill
him. The party was conducted with great pro-
priety, and the inmates appeared contented and in
health. Since I last wrote the Alaska purchase-
money has caused much commotion. The warrant
for $7,200,000 in gold was drawn in favour of Baron
Stoekl, and given by him to the Washington banker,
J. W. Riggs, the money being payable in Washing-
ton. Riggs asked for a loan in currency of $200,000,
which he had at once to disburse out of it, which Mr.
M'Culloch refused, but Gen. Spinner, on being urged,
consented. The first Treasury cheque, dated Aug. 1,
was for $7,000,000 in coin to the order of J. W. Riggs.
It was made payablebyMr. Riggs to S. S. and C. Ward
of New York, and by them indorsed and the money
paid to H. F. Valle, of the Bank of Commerce of
New York, by the Sub-Treasury, on August 4th,
three days after it was given. The next cheque
was given for $lOO,OOO in coin, and made payable
to Riggs and Co., and was paid to W. A. Jenkins,
in New York, on August 4th. The next was upon
August 3, for $25,000 in coin, and was paid into
41-

the same source. Upon that date also another was
given) but late in the afternoon, for $25,000 in coin,
and passed to Van Dyck's Sub-Treasury through
the same channels as the two previous ones. No
call was then made upon Gen. Spinner for any fur-
ther sum until September 9, when a coin cheque for
$20,000 was issued, indorsed to Riggs and Co., and
receipted for by '' J. Purnett ;" the last being for
the balance of $20,000 in coin, upon September 16,
which also passed through the same source as the
previous one. None were indorsed, and all can
now be seen in the Treasury. A young man
from Georgia has stated to some members of Con-
gress that among the papers of Robert J. Walker
he saw a list of those to whom this money was paid.
As I before informed you, Mr. Walker admits hav-
ing received a large professional fee. An investi-
gation bee❑ ordered by Congress, and it is not
improbable that a system of gross and shameful
plunder will be discovered, by which lobbyists
obtain money under the pretence of buying over

newspapers, members of Congress, and others sup-
posed to have influence, to secure the passage of a
measure, while they simply put the money thus ob-
tained into their pockets, caring little how they injure
the reputation of those whose names they use in corn •
pleting their robbery. The terrible disaster which
followed the steamboat collision has led to the re-
peal of all laws authorizing the carriage of petro-
leum as freight on passenger steamers. An awful
description is given of the scene when the petroleum
in the United States caught fire. The oil ran into
the river, and the burning vessel was surrounded
by a lake of flame. The passengers wet e not even
offered the alternative of fire or water, for the water
became a sea of fire ; many of the bodies recovered
being much burnt, of which over eighty-six have
now been fished from the river.
An effort is being made to introduce the half-
price system into the New York theatres, and the
managers are urged to adopt it in their own inte-
rest. The lynching at New Albany is much dis-
cussed, and strongly condemned throughout the
North. The scene, as described by the sheriff, was
very dreadful. The four men were executed, and
the lynchers dispersed in from three to five minutes.
Some of the murdered men fought desperately, as
was evident from the bruises they had received, and
Anderson, who is an Englishman, it is asserted was
declared to be innocent by Frank Reno of any part
in the Express robbery, and the Canadian authori-
ties received a solemn promise that both would be
fairly tried. The Canadian papers are not unjustly indignant, as the danger had been pointed out be-
fore the prisoners were surrendered, and this is
strongly dwelt on in the Toronto Leader. The
Montreal Herald also joins the Leader in stating
"that if such things are to be done, extradition
must cease. We cannot send men over the border
to be torn to pieces by an unauthorized rabble, no
matter what their crimes may be."
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.
Although not so brisk as speculation will be on
General Grant's Cabinet when Congress gets back
to Washington after the holidays, yet the Cabinet
occupies more of men's thoughts than anything else
in the political capital of the Union. Two men are
considered certain of place--the one is his friend
and neighbour, Mr. Elihu B. Washburne, of Illi-
nois, who, it is thought, will fill the post of Secre-
tary of the Interior; the other is Mr. Horace
Greeley, editor of the Tribune, who was also spoken
of in connection with the same appointment, but
will take nothing less, it is alleged, than the Em-
bassy to London. So determined does Mr. Greeley
appear to attain this object that he will most likely
succeed. Whether Senator Sumner will succeed
Mr. Seward as Secretary of State is a point much
discussed. Mr. Adams was sent for from Quincy
to meet General Grant when he visited Boston. It
is not beyond the bounds of possibility that Mr.
Seward himself might be dispatched to London,
and if he talks in the same overwhelming style as he
writes he will smother the whole English Cabinet,
unless they wisely give way. The General is doing
all he can to judge personally the qualifications of
the most prominent politicians. Very properly I
see you give Commissioner Wells a high place for
the Secretaryship of the Treasury, he is a very able
and, what is more, a highly trained public servant ;
and, after the example given by no less a person
than the President of the United States of wh Lt
financial heresies an American in high place can be
guilty, we most want a sound man, educated to deal
with this difficult subject. The President's repudi-
ation proposal has been ingeniously defended by
Senator Dixon, who, while condemning and oppos-
ing it, stated that it was a mere offer to the
bondholders to accept or reject as it pleased
them. It certainly pleased the Senate, who
shouted with laughter at the absurdity. With
this exception, I have seen no attempt at justi-
fication, the nation with one voice condemning
the proposition. In the House last Wednesday a
new drawing for seats was made to give the new
Southern members a fair chande. This scene always
affords amusement, as it separates cronies and
throws the most prominent into the shadiest place.
General Butler was not fortunate in his lot, and
seated himself among the Democrats, when some
one cried from the gallery, " Right, that's where
you came from, and that's your proper place." Mr.
Menard presented his credentials as Congressman
from Louisiana. He received the congratulations
of the friends of coloured men ; but, on the whole,
he has reason, if I am rightly informed, generally
to object to his treatment. He was born in Ran-
dolph county, Illinois, and after spending much of
his life on the farm in that State, he entered Iberis
College, Ohio, where he was educated. He fur-
nished President Lincoln with an able report of
British Honduras. It was not till 18G5 that he
settled in Louisiana, where he acted with the Re-
publican party with much ability and courage, and
in return they elected him to fill the unexpired
term of the deceased member, Mr. Mann. The Re-
presenatives spent yesterday in eulogizing the late
Thaddeus Stevens. The galleries were well filled,
and among the distinguished persons was Mr.
Thornton, the British Minister. Seventeen Repre-
sentatives spoke in honour of the deceased, and with
unusual ability, as the old commoner, whatever his
faults, was a fine subject. Among the best of these
addresses was that by Mr. John M. Broomall, of
Pennsylvania. The House is similarly occupied
to-day, and will be to-morrow on other deceased
members, as is the Senate on the late Mr. Stevens.
There are some alarming reports of ruffians who
have pledged themselves to assassinate Gen. Grant.
Almost universally they are regarded as merely
" sensational," though it is alleged that over
a hundred have sworn that the President
Elect shall not be inaugurated. The Senate
have not considered the nomination of Alex-
ander Cummings for Revenue Commissioner,
in succession to Mr. Rollins ; hence, it must lie over
till January, when Congress reassembles. O❑ Mon.
day the President sent to the Chamber the name of
Henry A. Smythe, Collector of Customs in New
York., for Minister to Russia, but the Foreign Re-
lations' Committee promptly reported against the
nomination. Among the other nominations were
William J. Culler to be Superintendent of Indian
Affairs for Idaho and Montana ; Benjamin F.
James to be Chief Examiner for the Patent-office;
and Alfred Marcy to be Collector of Customs at
Nantucket, Massachusetts; J. N. Marks to relieve
General Cake as Collector of Customs at Philadel-
phia. Senator Henderson, who has returned to this
city, intends, if successful in reelection to the
Senate, to announce himself a candidate for the
Governorship of Missouri. Green Clay Smith has
resigned the Governorship of Montana Territory.
Mr. Fred. E, Woodbridge, of Vermont, will, it is
said, be named by the President, if Cummings fails,
for Mr. Rollins' place, on whom strong pressure is
brought to bear to hold on till Grant comes in.
General Schofield only, was absent from the
Cabinet to-day. Fessenden and Bayard alone con-
firmed the appointment of Collector Smythe for the
Russian Mission, the vote being five against their
two. Mr. Creecy appears to think that a clue has
been obtained which will break up the "ring " in
New Orleans against the revenue, great tobacco
frauds being discovered.

Our authority for the following is the Spring-
field Republican, though we doubt that a "British Colonel"
would get such a job, and if he did at such a salary it
would be rated higher than any General's command in
Great Britain :—" The suit of the British Government
against the Sharp's Rifle Company, of Hartford, for the
foreclosure of a mortgage on account of non-fulfilment of
contract by the latter, has at length bee❑ decided by
the Supreme Court of the State in favour of England. It
has been on trial for 12 years, and involved about $lOO,OOO.
During all this time a British colonel has been stationed
at New York to manage the case on a salary of $lO,OOO
per year in gold, and the Crown lawyers while in attend-
ance have had $5O per day in gold." Apropos of British
colonels an American paper, by way of showing up the
abuses of the Purchase System, quotes a recent instance
of an ensign having purchased a colonel's commission. As
our article last week showed ho could not have done so
by any expenditure, as the rules that limit purchase are
inexorable, and cannot even be infringed by the Queen.
