MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A SCENE IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.-ChiIYIOS Lawton,
a painter, in Devonshire-street, Lisson-grove, was charged
before Mr. Tyrwhitt with attempting to steal some money
from the person of James Jones, a labouring man, and also
with assaulting him while in a carriage on the Metropoli-
tan Railway.

The prosecutor, who resides at Harefield, near Ux-
bridge, said that on Saturday evening he was in a carriage
en the Metropolitan Railway on his way home, when the
prisoner and some cotnp.tuions sat by his side and kept
Pushing against him, and shortly afterwards he found the
prisoner's hand in his pocket. Ile aked the pri-
soner what he was up to, and told hint that
if ho played any of his games on him he
would pitch him out of the carriage window.
The prisoner then drew his hand out of his pocket, leav-
ing his purse containing 19s. in silver hanging out of his
pocket, and he then struck him several times. Some of
the prisoners companions also struck him, and then his
(prosecutor's) companions not liking to see three on ono
one struck them, and there was a general fight.
Witnesses were called by the prisoner, who gave him
an excellent character, one of them stating that he had
selected him to do work where great trust was required.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner on bail.

THE ROSICRUCIANS•

A book of 400 pages, illustrated with numerous
engravings, carefully prepared, and mostly from
ancient originals, now for the first time appearing,
will very soon issue, published by Mr. Hotten, the
antiquarian publisher, of Piccadilly, and of which
book Mr. Hargrave Jennings is the author. The
real views and beliefs of that extraordinary
body, society, sect, or brotherhood, named that of
the " Rosy Cross," are a profound secret, though
many guesses (mostly absurd) have been made of
them. It is to clear up some of this doubt that
this present book, which is the result of great
labour and time expended upon a most curious
study, is to be published. Curiosity must always
accompany such a publication, because to profess
to deal seriously with the claims of philosophers
of such stupendous mark is no common or
familiar ambition. It will be remembered that
the " Rosicrucians" were (or professed to be)
alchemists—that is princes or fathers of chemistry,
able to rea'.ise " transmutation," claimants to the
possession of further unheard-of secrets—such as
that of the elixir vitm, the grand magisterium, and
the mastery over occult art in the widest sense. A
book seriously advocating the claims of these re-
markable men is therefore a phenomenon, still more
interesting to us when it comes before the world
illustrated with graphic illustrations.

ARGYLL ROOMS.

Most playgoers are familiar with the brilliant
spectacular effects produced on the stage, through
the employment of the electric light, in grand trans-
formation and sensation scenes, in pantomimes, and
melodramas. From experiments recently made by
the direction of Mr. R. R. Bignell, proprietor of this
popular establishment, it has been most satisfaz-
torily demonstrated that the same illuminating
element may be most advantageously employed in
the ball-room. Any one who has witnessed the
production of the shadow dance from " Dinorah,'
since it has been introduced here, can have
no doubt on the subject, and those who
have not already enjoyed the sight will be amply
repaid for their trouble in paying an early visit to
this popular place of entertainment. The rapidity
with which the light is varied in colour and thrown
on the different groups of dancers in this elegant
ball-room is particularly effective, and the result is
novel to a degree. Since it was first established more
than twenty years ago under the late M. Laurent,
the celebrated orchestra of this establishment never
ranked higher than it does at the present time.
The practice that each artist has had in playing in
company with one another forsolongaperiodhas
giventaons ao'f h ' otneeness" and precision to the baud, which
enables the talented leader to perform the composi
thegr great a tersctat masters with
of th
fine
lieeffeet
and one of
en-
tertainment is that the programme invari-
ably contains some of the finest overtures and
operatic selections known to the musical world.

Individual soloists of unquestioned ability would
shine and make reputations for themselves any-
where, as many members of this band whom Ni--e
could name would, but without such a m ister at

self to be, the perfection of the playing would
cease to be a theme of general satisfacion
Under the management of Mr. Pitta the arrange-
ments are of the west satisfactcry nature, and cal-
culmed in every possible way to give satisfaczio:,
to the visitor=, whether they be dancers or spec-
tators. From the combination of attractions pre-
sented at the Argyll Rooms during the current sea-

they have so lug enjoyed.

should be clearly made known. (►Tear, hear.)

SPORTING NOTES.

Mr. Topham has provided a goodly number of
races this week at Chester, the most important of
which being The Cup. The Chesterfield Stakes
will be the feature of the opening day, for which I
think Giantess or Argyll will be returned the
winner, and the Palatine Stakes should be secured
by Master Tom or Remus. Robespierre is a cer-
tainty for the Welter Cup, and with his 10Ib.
allowance the Belgrave Stakes. The field for the
Chester Cup will be limited, and selected from the
following :

Knight of the Garter is reported lame, which was
the reason of the hostility displayed against him on
Saturday. A reaction has since taken place in
his favour, but 1 should nut recomtneud him to be
invested on till his number goes up. Romping Girl
is a good stayer, and will like the course, but I am
afraid she will find the company too good for her.
The same remark applies to Curio, who
is a very uncertain horse. Paul Jones,
who I selected when the weights came
out, is now an equal favourite with lEgean, and a
think he will emulate the Dalby performance by
winning the race two years in succession. 2-Egean
has had a wonderful trial, but I like public per-
formers before private ones. St. Mungo will re-
present Mr. Merry, and from his running last year
he ought to be.tt all the three-ye.tr-olds. Vansiztatt

HOLBORN 7 BEA? RE.

Mr. Barry Sullivan on Saturday last entered on
his career as manager of this very pretty theatre, of
which he has become the lessee, with the object of
enabling the public to have at least one house at
which they can enjoy plays of the highest class, re-
presented by good actors and mounted with libe-
ralty and ju igment. We sincerely wish him every
success in such a laudable and praiseworthy en-
deavour, and it is to be hoped the public will
earnestly and energetically support the new ma-
nager, and unable him to carry out his intentions
with profit to himself and the very excellent corn-
pally he has engaged. The audience that as-etn-
bled to give him welcome on Saturday was both
numerous and distinguished, and on the curtain
rising for the performance of Lord Lytton's splen-
did comedy " Money" the entrance of Mr. Sulli-
van, who, of course, supported the part of Eve-
lyn, his reception was, extremely one of the highest
gratification to the audience. Miss Amy Fawsitt
made her first
.appearance in the farce " The INtis-
stress of the Mill," which preceded the comedy,
and met with very great success.

THE EXCELSIOR AMATEUR MUSICAL SOCIETY
on Friday gave a very attractive entertainment at the
George Hotel, Aldermantury, to which they iuvitod their
lady friends. A very excellent programme was sele,:ted,
and the songs that pleased the audience most were those
of Mr. 11. Gillard, Balfe's "Sleeping Queen," and Hatton's
" Excelsior." Mr. Cantle sung his song, " Four jolly
smiths" with excellent effect, and Mr. Johnson gave
Weiss' song, " The Village Blacksmith," with taste and
judgment. The comic element was well represented by
Mr. Woodward. Mr. Brown recited Tennyson's " Charge
of the Light Brigade" with great elocutionary skill, and Mr.
Hicks followed with a recitation, " The Half Hundred,"
which he did exceedingly well. The concert was the last
one of the season, and the members have every reason to
be pleased with the manner in which the entertainment
passed off. The society is under deep obligations to
their hon. secretary, Mr. Hatch, far it is almost entirely to
his admirable mode of conducting the business• that it

FOREIGX. NOTES.
ENGLAND AND SPAIN,
We are to have another difficulty with Spain. The
Ptmi is informed that Commodore Phillimore, in command
of the Westjudia squadron, Nvi:l " receive iestruc ions to
require from thaf,.,Spanih authorities at Havanna the
hnniediate release of t- t Mary Lowell, an America vessel,
seized by the Swilards in British ‘raters,in the anchorage
off Ragged Island, while in the act of shifting her
quarters from the man-of-war anchorage to that of the
merchantmen." The Post considers this outrage of such
an unjustifiable character that our only course is to
demand immediate reparation. This is true; but in some
well-informed quarters it is believed that General Dulce
will give way. It was first argued on behalf of the
Spaniards that the vessel was captured six miles from land,
and out of British jurisdiction. It is to be hoped that if
there be no question about the fact, there will be none
about the law, and that the Spaniards will avoid the
unpleasant consequences threatened by the Post by giving
up the ship. We could gain no honour by a lengthy
dispute with a weak nation beset with difficulties on every
hand.

THE OTAMIELL TRIAL.
Mr. MONSELL,. in reply to Mr. Newd3gate, said no
direction was given by the Home Governm.ant to the Go-
vernment in the colony to suppress any of the evidence
taken at the trial of O'Farrell ; and with reveet to the re-
port and evidence he did not think it would be advisable
to put the country to the expense of printing the volumi-
nous matter.

Mr. MAGUIRE said he hoped it would be borne in mind
that the act of O'Farrell was an isolated one, and that he
was quite unconnected with any body of persons, that in
fact his er:me was the result of delirium tremens, or in
fact he might say of a lunatic. It was just that this fact
should be clearly made known. (lle.►r, hear.)

Mr. C. FOIITESCUE said the Government %sere liiviug

not that evening scale any of their proceedings, as the
report of the inquest had not yet been received.

Mr. GLADSTONE, in roily to Col. 'French, gala the

ing from what had alien ly been dune, he thought
it might be possible .that the committee would close with

TIIE MEETING AT I.73IBALLA.

The proceedings at Umballa terminated on the sth of
April. Lord Mayo, says the Times of India, seems to
have performed his difficult and delicate part at Umbella
to :the satisfaction of everyone. Courteous, decided,
firm, and straightforward, he won the confidence
of Shere Ali at the first, and retained it
to the last. The terms agreed upon between the
two are of course not officially announced, but Shere Ali
has been satisfied, though he did not, we are told,
obtain all he wished. He wanted direct interference and
assistance, but in this respect Lord Mayo firmly supported
the policy of Sir John Lawrence. The Bombay Gazette
explicitly states that Shere Ali is to receive all moral and
material support short of an expedition. A lakh of rupees,
about £lO,OOO, will be sent to him monthly. No envoy
will be sent to Cabul at present. The arrangements are
to be embodied in a protocol, not a treaty.

THE WHITSUNTIDE HOLIDAYS.

Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to Col. French, said the
adjournment of the Louse for the holidays would in a
great measure depend upon the progress of the
committo on the Irish Church Bill ; and, judg-
ing from what had allealy been done, he thought
it might be possible that the committee would close with
the week. 110 should, if that were so, take the report
of it on the Thursday following, and then move that the
house at its rising should adjourned until the Monday

THE IRISH CHURCH.

The house then went into committee on the Lill,
Clause 30, which made enactments with respect to
mixed endowments, was ngrecd to ; as was clause 31,
which defined the limitation of the right to purchase fee
simple, in consideration of perpetual rent.
Clause 32 was next proposed, it dealt with the sale of
the rent charge to the owners of land, and enacted that the
commissioners might sell any rent charge in lieu of tithes
vested in them under the act to the owners of land,
charged herewith in consideration of a sum equal to
twenty-two and a LIU times the amount of such rent
charge.
Mr. FAWCETT moved that the clause be struck out.

tni' consi.ruction of tue Act of Parliament was that two
judges should sit during the whole time 't and this not
having been done, he contended that Madame Rachel
had been wrongly convicted,- there being this error upon
the record.

The Solicitor-General said before their lordships consi
deredl their verdict he wished to intimate that as the
Central Criminal Court sat on Monday, it would be con.
veuient to have a decision on the second objection, viz.,
the right of division of the jurisdiction of the courts.
The Lord Chief Justice said they had come to the con-
clusion that the Central Criminal Court might sit and
divide itself as it bad done heretofore, and therefore Mr.
Commissioner Kerr bad not been superseded by any
statutory enactment. They, however, reserved the pint
whether he could sit when the Sheriff's Court, of which
he was judge, had not been abolished.

persons to buy more things. The third point is that
foreign nations Are evidently coming for money while
they can get it. They see that the end of the full
time is come, and they are not sure but that a scarce
time may soon supervene. Accordingly they think
they will come while they have yet a chance, and
before a more difficult period renders borrowing by a
questionable Government impracticable.

A PUBLIC PROSECUTOR WANTED.

The Solicitors' fourilal renews its appeal for a
public prosecutor. The case of Overdid, Gurney,

functionary beyond doubt; that need has been more
or less felt any time this ten years. Here is Mr.
Thorn conducting one of the most important cases of

be to the poorer classes to reduce the price of the cum-

the amount was reduced the service wou'd have to be
carried on at a loss, which he did not think would be for

subject to see if anything could be done in the matter.

TNT MONEY MARKET.

The Economic.` says that there are three things
clear about the money market. The first is that we are
at the end of the plethora period. Since 1860 there has
been a time in which no one cared or thought about
the money market; for the rates were so low that
those who had to borrow did not think about them.
But now Lombard-street has got back to its
normal state, and our loanable capital is not
likely to be too much for our wants, so that the
,tats of the nmrlcet is once more a matter of interest
those who borrow and to those who lend. The
econd Point is a considefable increase of internal
rade. Comparing the week ending fast Friday with
•!le corresponding, week of 1808, the returns of the
Jlearing-houie chew an increase of over seven
millions. This change the _Economist attributes to the
fact that the reduction in the price of cornits. =Wine

THE STRIKES IN THE NORTH.

The tyranny of trades unions, of which the organs
of capital have been wont to declaim, does not seem
to have been established over the masters yet. In
Preston the millowners have already won a virtual
success ; and in all the disputes, whether in the cotton
mills, in the building trades, or in the collieries in
Lancashire, Cheshire, and Yorkshire, the masters are
winning the race. The trades unions still try to
keep up an appearance of a strike in Preston ; but
a large number of the masters have closed their
waiting for a revival of trade, and those
who are still working announce that they have
enough men. In the Liverpool building
trades the workers have so far given way as
to withdraw their notice of alteration in the
rules of the trade to which the masters obje2ted.
The masters, however, still demand certain conces-
sions; and the matter can, therefore, hardly be said
to be settled. In Lancaster, there seems to be no
hope of a settlement, so that a strike is to be feared.
The same announcement is made with regard to
Leeds. In the latter town the masters, having in
view the agitation for short hours, want to pay by
the hour. The men will not agree to this.
London, England, 1869-05-03

THE CENTRAL GAS COMPANY.

We are told that very wise men will learn from
other people's experience, and in that case men of
business may learn a good deal from the misfortunes
of the London Central Gas Company. In all under-
takings the terms of payment are Lsually defined,
and any man who attends to his own concerns knows
nearly the amount of money which should be owing
at any given time. something must be wrong if the
total is largely in excess of what it should be. If this
simple test had been applied by either of the
directors or the officers of the company the
shareholders would have been spared the misfortunes
that have come upon them. The directors were not
bound to know the style of living adopted by Mr.
but they ought to have known that the collec-
tion of their accounts was, according to their books'
nearly twelve months behindhand. If any director
of a public company or manager of a private busi-
ness does not know how the debt- collecting is going
on in his business, we advise him to look and see,
and he may learn something to his advantage.
