A PAPAL ANNIVERSARY.

-------
The 11th of April will be an interesting day to
Roman Catholics, being the fiftieth anniversary of
the Pope's first celebration of the Mass. On Sunday
a pastoral from Archbishop Manning was read
in all the Catholic churches throughout London,
stating that the clergy and the laity of many nations
had agreed to keep the day as a jubilee, and that
the Pope had offered a plenary indulgence to those
who devoted their prayers and offerings on that day
for the conversion of sinners and the propagation
of the Catholic faith. A Jubilee Commemoration
Fund has been opened in England, to which
the Duke of Norfolk has given £200; Earl
Denbigh, Lords Petre and C a stlerosse, and Mr. Mons ell
being also among the subscribers. The Arch-
bishop has refused to allow the memorial to
Mr. Gladstone on behalf of the imprisoned Fenians
to be left for signature at the doors of Moorfields
Cathedral. It is not possible, he says, to allow the
Catholic churches to be used for any but religious
purposes, and any political or other petition must be
signed at other places. The memorial is to be pre-
sented to Mr. Gladstone on the 10th of May.

REVOLUTION IN MEXICO.

The Neio York Herald has received nc.ws from Mexico
to the effect that the " entire country is wrapped in a
flame of revolutionary agitation." The Government troops
have suffered a defeat. The people are disgusted with
the plundering of the Juarez Cabinet. And then we come
to the gist of the affair:—" Advices from Texas throw out
the conjecture that United States trooi.s would soon
invade Mexico, and leave it open to inference that the
beginning of the end was not far distant." It ought to
be mentioned, however, that the herald has lately been
afflicted with the annexation fever. Hayti, Cuba, and
Alexico are all to be snapped ußat once.

AMB:GULTY.

Correspondents of an Opposition journal, in search
of blots on Mr. Gladstone's Irish Churchßill, are asking
in whom the parish churches are to be vested. The
twenty-fifth clause of the bill, which deals with this,
provides that where a church is required for religious
purposes, the representative body of the said
church " shall notify the same to the coin,
missioners, and in it—" the representative body
of the said church "—the building shall be
vested. Does " said church " there refer to the
Irish body as a whole, or only to the particular con-
gregation by which the church is required ? Else-
where a capital C is used to denote the whole body;
here only a small one. Rigid Episcopalians are
asking, "Is it possible that the Government intends
to impose upon the Irish Church a congregational
form of government ?"

CEN7RAL CRIMINAL COURT—phis Day

THE ALLEGED ROBBERY 13Y A PARTNER.- NOVEL CH/13GB.
Samuel Benjamin, a well-dressed man of middle age,
surrendered to take his trial on the charge of stealing
various sums of money belonging to the firm of Benjamin
and Cohen, of which he was a partner.
Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. F. H. Lewis appeared for the
prosecution ; Sergeant Sleigh and Mr. Besley for the de-

fence.
In his opening statement Mr. Metcalf,' said this was a
very peculiar case, the proceedings being instituted under
a recent Act of Parliament, introduced by the learned
judge who was trying the cam The prisoner and the
prosecutor, Mr. Cohen, commenced partnership in Sep-
tember, 1868, ;,Cohen was then in business as a woollen-
merchant, and he prepared a statement, showing £6OO
worth of assets over liabilities. Against this and the
prosecutor's connection Benjamin put £l,OOO into
the business, the capital of which was nominally
£2,000. Benjamin attended to the London business,
and Cohen called upon :customers in the country,
and received orders and money. In the beginning of
December a large quantity of goods was ordered and
arrived from Manchester, and the stock was then of the
value of about £2,000. On the 7th December Cohen
went into the country, and received a telegram from the
prisoner, saying the business was going on all right;
but between that date and the 12th of the same month,
Benjamin sold off all the stock, with the exception of
about £2OO worth, at a great sacrifice, and when Cohen
returned he found the place shut up.
rl, he trial was likely to occupy the whole of the day.

NEW COURT.
The Common Sergeant was occupied the whole of the
day in hearing the indictment against Edward Hughes,
oue of the accountants who stands charged with misap-
propriating a large hum of money, the property of the
Board of Works. The case, it will be recollected, was heard
very fully at Bow-street. It will not conclude to-day.

THE SLIGO ELEJTION.

Mr. SULLIVAN gave notice that on Friday he should
move an address to her Majesty for a Royal Commission
to inquire into corrupt practices at the last election for the
borough of Sligo.

INLAND POSTAGE.

Mr. GRAVES rose and called the attention of the

house to the rates of inland postage on printed matter.
lie entered at length into the vu ions advantages that
would result from the lowering of rates now levied by
the Post-office, and concluded by moving, that in the
opinion of the house it is expedient to reduce the rate
to one halfpenny for two ounces, and that the postage on
newspapers shouhl likewise be reduced to one halfpenny.
Mr. MUNDELLA supported the motion. He said that

the reduction was absolutely necessary, as by the present

arrangement a circular could be posted from Palermo to 1
Aberdeen for a less cost than it could be from that
house to the Strand. • The postage of circulars had
become general in all parts of the world, and the lowest
rate was taken iu eve,.y place except England. The de-
livery of circulars had become so general that companies
had been started for their delivery, the charge for distri-
buting 1,000 being but Bs. 6d., whilst the Post-office for
performing the same service demanded LI Bs. 4d. (Hear,
hear.)
Mr. MACTIE also approved of the resolution, to will, h
he hoped•the house would give its assent. He thought it
would beg very beneficial arrangement if the post-office
were to reduce the charge for postage circulars down to
the rate of one farthing each.

TIIAMES.

DARING ROBBERY.-Wm. House, aged 17, was brought
up on remand before Mr. Benson, charged with stealing
431bs. of copper and iron nails, the property of T. W.
Forrest and Son, lifeboat builders, Limehouse.
On Saturday morning, at 5 o'clock, a police-constable
named Jesse Veuables, No. 106, Thames division, saw the
prisoner sorting some old copper and iron (produced) on
some ruins in Nightingale-lane, Limehouse. There were
three others with him. All the gang ran away. Ho caught
the prisoner and secured him. He asked him to whom the
property belonged, to which he made no answer.
Mr. James, clerk to the prosecutors, said the copper and
iron nails produced were quite new. The copper was
worth £2. Since Saturday last a large quantity of copper
and iron nails were missing from boxes in the boat build-
ing yard. They were marked with the prosecutors' pri-
vate mark. Thieves could not get lute the yard from the
street. They got in through Norway Wharf, Bridge-
street, Limehouse, at the back from a canal. The pri-
soner, in defence, said he picked up the nails.
Mr. Benson had no doubt the prisoner stole the nails,
and sentenced him to three mouths' imprisonment and
hard labour.

WESTMINSTER.
DARING HIGHWAY ROBBRRY OF A FEMALE.Jamas
Arnold, a young man, was placed at the bar charged with
the following daring highway robbery of a female.
Mrs. Elizabeth Anne Lamb, of 3, St. James-cottages
Wellington-road, Fulham, said—At about five minutes
past eleven on Sunday night I was in the King's-road,
Chelsea, and wanted a cab to go home. I had not sufficient
silver to pay for one, and seeing a beer shop door open,
I went in and asked the keeper of it to give me
change of a sovereign, which she did. Prisoner
was present, and saw me put the change in
toy purse. and I found ho was following me. He cams up
to me near Stanley-bridge, and told me if he had six-
pence, he would get a lodging that night, and should not
walk all the way to Hounslow to sleep. At last to get
rid of him I said I would give him threepence, and took
out my purse to do so, when the prisoner suddenly seized
me by the throat with one hand, and snatching the purse
from my hand with the other, ran off. My purse con-
tained a sovereign, and the change of another sove-
reign. I cried " Murder," some men came and an inspector
of police; and a shilling and some half-pence were found
where he had snatched my purse from me.
William Page, 101 S, said that from information re-
ceived he wont to Hounslow last night and took the pri-
soner into custody. He said the lady must have dropped
the purse.
Prisoner made no answer to the charge.
a
He was fully committed for trial.

STREET INIUD.

This is a day of utilisation. We have already
found out plans for turning old clothes into money,
; for making our fields fertile by using the refuse, and
now the proverb "cheap as dirt " seems likely to
lose all its force. The Engbieer, speaking of the wet
mud, called macadam milk, which covers the streets
of Paris in the rainy season, says: "An adventurous
individual has found an application for this stuff, and
at the same, it is said, an income of £4OO a year
for himself. He collects the milk, allows it to settle
in large tanks, passes the precipitate through silk
sieves, and forms it afterwards into what we call
Flanders bricks for knife cleaning, which sell at a
franc each." Would that Flanders bricks were more
in request that we might have more adventurers
starting up to cleanse our towns of matter which is
certainly in the wrong place when it covers our boots
and trousers.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
On December 0, 1867, Her Majesty's Theatre,
in the Haymarket, was so thoroughly burnt that
nothing but a shell was left. .0n May 28, 1868,
a contract was signed by the Earl of Dudley, the
landlord, and Messrs. Trollope, the builders, by which
the theatre was to be rebuilt by March 1, 1869.
Very
heavy penalties were attached for non-fulfilment
of the contract, and many of Messrs. Trollope's friends
predicted that those gentlemen would beruined. They
commenced operations on May 30, and completed them
by the specified time. The theatre is now in a
condition to hand over to the lessees (whoever they
may be), and thus this great structure has been rebuilt
in considerably less time than Covent Garden or
Drury Lane. Nothing has been retained of the old
building but the four walls. The most careful pro-
vision has been made against fire. Externally, as
viewed from Pall Mall West, the structure is
most and looks like a cross between
a an
brewery ; but internally there
tlicinsaignlciitly,
ais much to admire. The question now is
what will Lord Dudley do with the house ? He
has frightened away his old tenant by the terms
he asked. Who will venture to speculate in a theatre
which takes 9,500 spectators to fill it ?

the murder of his wife 18 years ago. A rather extraor-

IGNORANC.

The following is given by a contemporary as an
alfhentic anecdote of the late review at Dover. When
the Ferret had, shortly after drifting against Dover Pier,
become a complete wreck, si6nals were made from the shore
to the Royal Sovereign, the flagship of the senior officer
in command, informing him of the fact as well as of the
safety of the crew, with the exception of one boy.
Captain
Hood at once telegraphed the information to the
Admiralty in London• and received in reply orders
from that body to friie the Royal Sovereign into
Dover Harbour. Now, inasmuch as the entrance to the
harbour is too narrow to admit the Royal Sovereign ; and
as, until after the half tide, even the packet boats have
often a difficulty in finding enough water to float them,
the task was a difficult as well as a dangerous one to per-
form. Luckily, Captain Hood thought it best to act on
his ownresponsibility.

HABITUAL CRIMINALS BILL.
On the report of this bill being brought up,
The Earl of KIMBERLEY said he had framed certain
amendments, which would, he hoped, meet the views of
those who objected to the original enactments of the bill.
On clause 10,
Lord ROMILLY objected to the clause, as it made per-
sons under police supervision liable on mere suspicion to
a year's imprisonment. He telt it actually necessary that
some evidence should bo given that the
min was guilty
cf living by dishonest 'loans before be was sent to prison
en the mere suspicion of the police.
The Earl of KIMBERLEY said it was only persons
who had becn previously convicted that became subject to
the surveillance of the police. The object of the bill
was to call upon suspected persons to prove that they
were getting their living honestly.
Lord CAIRNS supported the clause. ,
The Marquis of SALISBURY also support the clause
but suggested that the direct authority of the chief con-
stable to arrest suspected persons should be adduced in
evidence.

THE BEST REMEDY FOR INDIGESTION.

NORTON'S CAMOMILE PILLS are confi-
dently recommended as a simple but certain
Remedy for Indigestion, which is the cause of nearly all
the diseases to which we are subject, being a medicine so
uniformly grateful and beneficial that it is with justice
railed the " Natural Strengthener of the Unman Stomach.'
"Norton's Pills" act as a powerful tonic and gentle ape-
rient; are mild in their operation, safe under any cir-
cumstances, and thousands of persons can now bear testi-
mony to the benefits to be derived from their use, as they
have been a never-failing Family Friend for upwards of
20 years.
Sold in :bottles at ls. ljd., 2s. 9d., and lb. each, in
every town in the kingdom.
CAUTION.

Be sure to ask for "NORTON'S PILLS," and do not
be persuaded to purchase any of the various imitations
which have sprung up in consequence of the success of
' Norton's Camomile Pills."

PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY.

EXTRACTS from the DIRECTORS' REPORT for the

year ending 31st December, 1868.
I he Directors have again to draw attention to a year of
most remarkable progress.
Accustomed as they have been for many years to re-
port an accession of business larger than any other Com-
pany in Europe, they have on this occasion to state that
the New Premium Income of the year 1868 amounts to the
extraordinary sum of £87,748 16s. 11d. per annum—the
corresponding amount for 1867 being £54,819 ss. 3d. This
income has been derived entirely from the resources of the
Prudential, and not from any amalgamation or transfer.
The Premium Income at the close of the year amounts
to £220.978 Os. 10d., after making allowance for all Poli-
cies lapsed or surrendered.

The claims paid during the year amount to £67,181 10s.
5d., raising the total disburse a under th;s; head since the
eats hlishment of the Company to £480,986 10s. 3d.
The Assurance Fund at the close of the year amounts
to £241.301 12s. 4d., against £170,959 14s. 6d. at the close
of 1867, being an increase of £65,341 17s. 10d.

A debtor and creditor account of the assurance fund is
appointed hereto with the valuation as at December 31st,
1866, and the surplus now sh-ovn is of the most encourag-
ing 'character, and justifies the expectation that at the
division of profits at the end of 1871 the results will be
exceedingly favourable.

The Directors draw the especial attention of their new
connexions to the circumstance that 16 years since they
inaugurated a plan of weekly audit of accounts. This
system is still carried out by them with an undiminished
care and attention, and by its adoption they aro enabled
to control the operations of the Company iu the most
efficient manner.
