A CIIEESEMONGER SAYING HIS BACON.--John Davis,
aged 19 years, a dirty rough-looking fellow, was charged
with stealing a cushion of bacon, from the shop of Mr
Wilhelm Alayt, a German, of No. 1, Palestine-place, Com-
mercial-road. The prosecutor lost two large hams last
week, and he had kept a sharp look out ever since to save
his bacon. He saw the prisoner take a cushion of bacon
off his board and run away with it. There was a confe-
derate running with him. Ho pursued the prisoner, who
dropped the bacon, which was recovered, and the prisoner
was captured.
The prisoner—l was running because I was cold. I
did not take the bacon. The other chap did, and he
ought to have been taken and not me.
The prosecutor said the bacon weighed 151b5., and was
worth 158.

The magistrate—A shilling a pound for bacon ?
Witness—Yes, sir. The two hams stolen last week were
also worth I.s. por pound. Ham and bacon is ham and
bacon now, sir. _ .

Police-sergeant Blackwall, 1 EC It, asked for a remand to
afford time to look after the prisoner's confederate.
The prisoner was remanded for a week.

A MAN JUMPING OFF BATTERSEA BRIDGE.--Henry
Giles, a man about 40 years of ago, was charged with
jumping off Battersea-bridge yesterday afternoon to drown
himself.

His wife said he was not in the habit of drinking. She
went into some details about the cause of his trouble.
Mr. Arnold remanded him until Thursday.

DOW-STREET.

Thomas Barnard was placed at the bar charged with
stealing a quantity of gas fittings, the property of his em-
ployer, Mr. Gardner, of 62, Strand.

From the evidence of Hines, the detective officer, it ap-
peared that owing to the disappearance of quantities of gas
fittings a watch was set upon the workmen, and the
prisoner was observed to leave the premises and go
to the Hampshire Hog public-house, in the Strand.
The officer told the prisoner that he was suspected
of having some property belonging to his master, which
ho denied ; but on being searched a few brass taps were
found on him. It afterwards appeared that the prisoner
had lately done some gas-fitting at the Missionary Hall,
Soho, and on going to the place it was found that the gas
fittings belonged to Messrs. Gardner, and had been taken
from his stock without their knowledge or consent. The
prisoner, it was stated, had been in the service of the
prosecutor for 18 years. His salary was 38s. per week.
A gentleman, who appeared for Mr. Gardner, said it was
the desire of that gentleman that mercy should be ex-
tended to the prisoner. A short imprisonment would
suffice to produce a salutary effect, and that being all he
wished, ho hoped the magistrate would deal as leniently as
possible with the prisoner.
Mr. Vaughan' said it was a lamentable case that r. man
who had enjoyed an honest and trustworthy character
for so many years should have yielded to temptation, and
he (the magistrate) presumed that it was thought that
the trifling articles taken would not bo missed, but it
was most important that small things should be protected
as well as large, and if he were to send the case
for trial the sentence doubtless would be imprisonment for
a long period. However, as the prosecutor wished the
case to be dealt with mercifully, and taking into account
the good character the prisoner had possessed, ho should
sentence him to three mouths' imprisonment with hard
labour.

THE CHURCH AND THE WORKING CLASSES.

The Bishop of Peterborough has paid a visit to
Leicester to promote the building of three new churches
in that town. In furtherance of this object a
large meeting was held, to which working men
were especially invited. Dr. Magee, in the course of
a very liberal address, bestowed much attention upon
the relations between the Church and Dissenters. He
did not urge " the • sinking of minor differences."
Nonconformists regarded some of those distinctions as
very important, and it was not to be supposed that they
would hold aloof from the Church through trivial
causes. But they should not overlook that there were
many points on which Churchmen and Noncon-
formists agreed, and whilst they could respect diver-
sity of opinion they might still work in common for
many objects. He believed that every working man,
whether Dissenter or not, had a claim upon the
Church's regard, and the Church had a claim upon him.
Every working man had a share in legislating for the
Establishment, whilst all sects alike owed a debt of
gratitude to the Church, the Ministers of which in
times gone by had risked and suffered death for the
truth. Dr. Magee had. no hesitation in asking the
entire body of working men to assist in building
three new Leicester churches. The drinking evil
likewise received some attention from the right rev.
prelate. He adds one more to the list of bishops who
have lifted up their voice against the debasing
national vice.

PAUPER CHILDREN.

Wedneaday's meeting of the Bethnal-green Board
of Guardians was unusually interesting. It appears
that a lady, named Miss Annette Preusser, has the mis-
fortune to reside in a Cumberland district where
there are no paupers. She and some of her friends are,
therefore, desirious of employing their benevolence
for the benefit of the London poor. Miss Preusser has
announced her willingness to take charge of a
number of destitute girls belonging to the parish of
Bethnal Green, and to train them up as servants. She
is willing that the board remain the guardians of
he girls, and pay a small sum weekly for
their maintenance. Her proposition, in fact,
amounts to an engagement to carry out the
boarding system now so much discussed ; and as the
Rev. Septimius Hansai d told the guardians, it was
better that the children should be entrusted to this
benevolent lady and her friends than to people who
were less able to tako an of them. The board, like
sensible men, entirely c oncurred in this view of the
case. Miss Preusser has only to make a formal appli-
cation and she will at once get the raw material for
her Christian charity to work up.

THE LAND QUESTION.

We have now before us all the demands of the
very advanced set of politicians whose, representativez
are Messrs. Bradlaugh and Lucraft. They want, they
say, to help the landle:743 and the moneyless ; and for
them they demand the laud from the landlords. At
their second meeting, near the Old Bailey, on Wed-
nesday, resolutions were pas.sed with acclamation that
the land should be given back to the people, and that
usury should be. abolished. The only speaker
who put forth anything. like a definite plan said he
would "abrogate landlords, game laws, prunoganiture,
and Poor-law guardians." He would buy up the
landlords' rights, as the rights of the Irish Church had
been bought up. The pleasure parks of the country
he proposed to use for " home colonisation."

EMBASSY FROM BOKRARA.

According to the Invalide Busse, an embassy is on its
way to the Czar from the Emir of Bokhara. His High-
ness's fourth son, who is only 12 years of age, is at the
head, accompanied by his father and brother-in-law. The
officially declared object of the mission is to consolidate
good relations with Russia, and inform the Emperor
Alexander of the hostile proceedings of the English and
Affghans. The real motive is, however, believed to
be to secure the throne of Bokhara to the young
prince, who is his father's favourite son. His throe
elder brothers have been debarred from the right
of succession by rebellion. Tho eldest one nearly suc-
ceeded in dethroning his father last year, and was only
defeated by the intervention of Russian troops.

springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation. _ _

THE HUSH ARCHBISHOPS TO Intan CLERGY.

The two Irish Archbishops delivered their charges
simultaneously—the Primate at Armagh, the Arch-
bishop of Dublin in his cathedral. They were
dissimilar in tone and matter, though they
dealt with very much the same subjects.
Dr. Trench's was tinged with bitterness : he
assailed (as we stated yesterday) the House of
Lords, and throughout was disposed to dilate on the
difficulties of the Church's position. The Primate
commenced his address by unconsciously deprecating
what his brother was just doing; ho condemned the
folly of recrimination and complaints, and encouraged
his clergy to raise their hopes. The Archbishop of
Dublin discussed detail very fully ; his eixace
of Armagh left that for the new Church
Body, and rather enunciated general princi-
ples than commented upon particular instances.
The latter expressed a hope that none but unavoidable
alteration would be made in the Liturgy ; suggested
that landlords should make provision for the clergy
in substitution of the tithe rent charge ; and exhorted
all parties to have moderation and to exercise charity.
The point he was anxious to maintain was the neces-
sity for the independence of the clergy. There was
a danger of arrangements as to patronage being made
which would interfere with what was so essential.
Voting by orders he thought wise as tending to
secure that independence.
The Archbishop of Dublin argued against any
liturgical revision; and appeared also adverse to any
attempt to part with either of the theological tenden-
cies within the Church. A great part of his speech,
however, was taken up with the question of commuta-
tion. He appeared very uneasy on the subject, and
stated his belief that the general expectation would
not be realised. The moral of it all was that those
who could, should send in their contributions freely.
THE PROGRESS OP TIIE EDUCATIONAL AGITATION.
The Birmingham Education League has done ono
public service—it has roused public attention to a
question which has been allowed to lio almost forgotten
by the great masses of the people. The progress
being made is most encouraging ; abundantly
attested as it is by the repeated references to
the subject by public men, and by the numerous
meetings being held throughout the country. Yet
the towns of the North and the Midlands are mono-
polising the agitation to a very considerable extent.
Birmingham led the way ; Manchester follows
speedily ; Liverpool considers the question; and,
finally, Newcastle has determined to hold a confer-
ence on the subject. The Newcastle conference is to
be one representing all sides of opinion. -Church of
England and Dissent meet equally; the promoters of
sectarian and the supporters of secular education
will both have opportunities of speaking; the
political, the social, and the religious aspects of the
subject will be presented.

MR. GRANT DUFF.

The Under-Secretary of State for India addressed
his constituents, at Elgin, on Wednesday night. As
was meet, the greater portion of his address was
devoted to the empire with which he is specially con-
nected. Mr. Duff's speeches are usually thoughtful
and very carefully prepared; this was no exception
to the rule. Ho gave a long list—nearly as
long as the Ten Commandments—of the duties
of the English Government in relation to India. Those
duties may be summed up in the sentences " to give
_nom : to derelope torment:sr by the_ completion of

pubic works; to spreaa culture amongst the Ilindoos
to aid inquiry into the ancient habits of the empire ;
and to be an example among the nations of the strong
ruling the weak." The hon. member referred with
pride to the Great Trunk Railway recently completed
from Calcutta to Peshawur, 1,423 miles, and antici-
pated the best results. He announced also that
Ilindostan was really advancing in regard to
its cotton. Nearly 098 millions of pounds
weight had been sent out in 1868-9, an amount that
compared favourably with the 614 millions of the
previous season. In many other ways also India
was advancing and becoming of service to this country.
Coffee, indigo, ipecacuanha, and many medicines were
being produced there. The idea of Russia advancing
to India Mr. Duff ridiculed. lle concluded by
speaking of the great course before the Liberal party
elsewhere than in India :
To make the army tho most perfect weapon which
statesmen have ever wielded—small in size, but instinct
with science, and a model of perfection in its kind ; to
reform the Diplomatic Service; to make primary education
universal ; to raise the level of the middle and higher edu-
cation, and to work all three into one harmonious system;

EAST LONDON HOSPITAL 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 aro 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 apon more children,
but no more can be admitted in the present building.
.i. 14,000 at least is required to carry out this much-wished-
for ,:nd urgent scheme.

THE 111-STEIL TENANT-RIGHT.

The Times' commissioner, who has investigated the
whole of Ireland, writes guardedly, but on the whole
favourably, on the Ulster tenant-right. It cannot he
denied, he argues, that the system has great advantages.
What t heoretically see :ns a confusion of titles, and even
a probable source of discord, is converted by the opera-
tion of custom into a mole of tenure by which the
dominion of a landlord is not ill reconciled with an all
but proprietary right on the part of the tenant, which
ivsures and maintains the just claims of both, and
which is found to conduce to goodwill be.,wocit
them. In districts where tenant-right flourishes,
without a suspicion of interruption, landlords usually
have very great influence ; their rents arc invariably
well paid, and- are guaranteed by tenant's inte-
rest. Experience proves that they are less reduced
by the charge on the fee than might be supposed;
and a fair use of the rights of property of course
within the limits of the custom, is found to be com-
patible with the rip,thts of the tenant. On the other
hand, in virtue of the hold he has acquired through
tenant-right on the soil, the tenant practically enjoys
security ; be is not sensible of the worst effects of a
tenure legally, usually at will ; he is not discouraged
from improving his land by an apprehension that an
unjust superior will despoil him of the fruits of his
industry ; he feels reasonably safe and free,
and cultivates his farm with a sense of property. 'Con-
sidering that twenty millions sterling now depend
upon this custom, it is surprising that it has never
attained the sanction of law. Indeed, - the want of
such sanction is now producing an evil effect even on
Ulster ittelf, where occasional instances of infringe-
ment of the custom are rapidly producing a sense of
insecurity, and, in short, a " land question." On the
whole, the Times' commissioner undoubtedly enter-
tains a high opinion of the good effects which must
follow the legalising of this custom.

O'DONOVAN ItOSSA.

Mr. Gladstone has definitely refused to liberate
O'Donovan Rossa, M.P. He will himself, he says,
take the responsibility of the denial of the request of
the Fenian convict's friends. The Premier is likely
ere long to have another question to answer, as the
prisoner has informed the public that he intends
writing to the right hon. gentleman, suggesting to him
the propriety of a removal to Millbank prison.
"Those lodgings are within view of the Parliament
House, and if he complies, I will be able to do my bit
of oakum and my bit of Parliamentary business with
more convenience. I may offe;r him a suggestion,
too, towards having the tenant-right bill regulate the
rents according to Griffith's Poor-law Valuation, and
no eviction except for non-payment of this rent."
London, England, 1869-12-28

SURREY.

The pantomime here is entitled " Harlequin St.
George and the Dragon," and, celebrated as this
theatre has long been for the gorgeousness of its
Christmas productions, Mrs. Pitt this year has
fairly eclipsed them all. The story of St. George
is capitally burlesqued, and the representatives of
the gallant knight and the scaly monster were all
that could be desired. The first was admirably
supported by Miss Milly De Vere, a young lady
who has previously successfully appeared at this
house. The character could not well be in safer
bands, as Mies De Vere has not only all the grace,
intelligence, and vivacity necessary for leading in
burlesque, but is possessed of a charming face and
figure that cannot but materially enhance her in•
tellectual efforts. Indeed, if anything could alle-
viate the terrible pangs of the dying dragon it
would be Vie satisfac!iou of being slain by so clever
and enchanting a knight. The dragon is played by
Mr. Robert Sweetman, who is capitally made up,
and acts with due fercciousness. The celebrated
combat was the most remarkably funny bit imagi-
nable, and when. St. George Jays aside his sword
and he and the dragon put on the boxing-
gloves for a " merrie mill" the laughter wes
loud and general, but it became tremendous
when Mr. Dragon unscrewed his tail to give him
more activity. St. George finally knocks the dragon
out of time, rescues Una, and then succeeds one of
those brilliant " transformation scenes" that have
now become a necessity in every Christmas panto-
mime. The scene is of surpassing brilliancy and
magnificence, and called forth a perfect hurricane
of arplause. Mrs. Pitt had to return thanks for
the great success of the pantomime, which doubt-
less will in:the end turn out one of the most at-
tractive of the season.

TIM BOARDING-OUT SYSTEM.

The boarding-out system of dealing with pauper,
or, rather State children, is coming into rapid favour.
Protests are still made against it, but the fact
remains that it has succeeded in Scotland, and
hitherto it has invariably worked well when properly
tried. The Wrexham Board of Guardians is the
latest which has adopted the new plan. It proposes
to "allow three shillings per week with each child.
The Telegraph, caffing attention to the shallowness
of the sum, attacks 4arming-out " altogether, and
puts the objections to it about as strongly as they
can be put : -
We may take the Wrexham alimony for young paupers
as fivepence and a fraction per diem. To say nothing
about lodging, how much in the way of board could be
given to a young pauper down Wrexham way for fivepence
and a fraction a day? Bread, fortunately, is cheap just
now ; but we suppose that even infant paupers are not to be
exempted from the universal law, that man shall not live
by bread alone. The guardians, of course, will clothe
and educate the unhappy little urchins whom it is pro-
posed to "board out;" but we may, with all due deference,
ask whether the terms of three shillings a week are to be,
in all other respects, inclusive ? And how about the
profit to be made by the people who take these
pauper boarders ? We have great faith in human
nature ; we believe in the beautiful ; we can
imagine that sweetness and light may be found
in dulcet and lustrous sublimation under the roof
of
unless
hys e lowly
n Cottage. But we do not believe that there are
people who would take young paupers to board
could make something by it; and we do believe
t and individual inspection of each "boarding
many
constant
tnohsoray
out" case would be at once impracticable and ruinously
expensive as a process. Yet, without constant and indi-
vidual inspection, the boarding-out system would open the
door to the worst kind of baby-farming and Browmiggism.

FORMS FOR TELEGRAPHIC MESSAGES.

The Government are completing their arrange-
ments for taking the telegraphs, to the smallest
detail. In one little point an undoubted change for
the better has been accomplished. The forms for
filling in messages have been much improved. A
separate space in lines is allotted to each word, and the
corresponding charge is printed clearly on the margin; so
that the sender can see at a glance how much he has to
pay, and the receiving clerk need be at no trouble in
calculating how much he has to charge. Each of
the forms thus divided into spaces is prepared for a
message of fifty words, which is assumed to be suffi-
cient in the great majority of instances. In the right
hand upper corner of the page a blank space is left
for the stamps which will probably be almost exclu-
sively used to cover the charges of transmission.
Attached to the form are directions for the guidance
of the sender, with a tariff of charges, and full infor-
mation as to the arrangements for porterage.
