WESTMINSTER.

A DANGEROUS PRACTICE.—Henry Coulson, 13, 04E/
charged with throwing atones at a train on the Motrope'
litan District Railway.
Thomas Price, pointsman at the St. James's-park sta-
tion, said at half-past seven last night he saw the prisoner
and other boys on the girders close to Lady Dacre's Alms'
houses, where there was an open space ; they were
throwing stones at tho trains, and dropping them on the
drivers and stokers.

Brooks, 129 B, proved taking prisoner with a stone is
his hand; this nuisance had been repeatedly complained
of, and was intolerable.

In reply to Mr. Selfe, the Superintendent of the Metro-
politan Railway Police said they had no byelaw to meet the
caso as they were an underground railway.
Inspector Holmes, of the B division, said at this veil
spot they had to stop a train the other day and clear the
line of bricks and stones that had been dropped on to the
metals.

Price, the pointsman, said several of the drivers and
stokers had been struck, but in this case he could )31:4
bring it home to the prisoner.
Mr. Selfe said he could not do anything with the Pri-
soner, save commit him for trial for a misdemeanour with
out much chance of a conviction ; he therefore severel9
reprimanded the prisoner and delivered him over to biti
father for correction, at the same time recommending Os
company to make some provision in their bye-laws to meat
such cases.

CONTINENTAL STRIKES.

Chronic discontent appears to have s2ized upon the
working men of Europe. Two thousand of the Berlin car.
penters have left work, whilst the strike in Belgium has
assumed an alarming aspect. The workmen are quiet,
but they refuse to go to work except with a considerable
increase of wages. Large bodies of hoops rre quartered
in the malcontent districts, but it is hardly possible that
any force can prevent bread riots if the strike continues
much longer. Already troops of men arc patrolling the
country demanding bread at the va'•ii us farm-Louses.
THE WAR OF 18(.76.

The IVew Free Press publishes the text of a very impor-
taut despatch sent by Count Bismarck to Count Von
Goltz, Prussian Minister at Paris on the 20th of July
ISGG, just before the armistice was concluded with Austria.
In this document, which has hitherto been kvpt secret,
the Prussian Minister that _Mug William
had agreed to the :umiak() on!y out of regard
for the Emperor Napoleon, and upon the
assurance of " important acquisitions to Prussia in
North Germany." "The King" said Count Bismarck,
"attaches Ices importance than I do to the establishment
of a political confederation of the North. Ile is all for
annexation, and I agree with him that the reform we have
in view cannot he effected v itlieut some additic us to
PThssian territory." _Hanover ad Saxony were too large
to be left independent consisten;ly with the establishment
of Prussian supremacy. The despatch adds that the King
of Prussia would rather abdicate than forego an important
acquisition of territory. The mediation of the French
Emperor would apply only to Austria. Prussia would
make her own terms with the North German States, Awl
so she has. - •

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
tailed the " Natural Strengthener of the Human 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 boar testi-
mony to the benefits to be derived from their use, as they
have been a never-fuiling Family Friend for upwards of
20 years.
Sold in bottles at ls. lid., 2s. 9d., and lls. each, in
every town in the kingdom.
CAUTION.

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

CENTRALISATION OR LOCAL INDEPENDENCE.

Mr. Goschen, as President of the Poor Law Board
nas had to decide a question which his predecessorS
found very difficult. Ile has seen guardians
wasting public money, and knowing what a howl of
indignant remonstrance is raised if there is the least
" tyrannical interference of the Poor-law Board,"
has had to choose whether to let them continue, or
to use his power. He told a deputation of guardians
who recently waited upon him which he intended to
do. They protested against the union of certain
parishes. In reply, Mr. Goschen complained that he
met with opposition when he tried to introduce
economic changes. The guardians were spending
too much money, and when told of it said they
wanted to be left alone. But it was his duty to look
at the danger of leaving them alone, for pauperism
was increasing at the rate of 7.45 per cent. in three
years. He would not undertake the responsibility of
leaving them alone. He 16und that guardians did
not mind spending a few thousands more on this or
'that object if they could keep it to themselves ; but in
his view economy, combined with efficiency, should
,be•the foremost aim.

THE ITALIAN BUDGET.

Count Cambray-lligny's financial statement fixes the
total deficit at the end of the year 18€8 at about twelve
and a half millions sterling. 'The def cit of 1860 is three
millions, to which must be added nine millions, swallowed
up in advances to railway companies and in divers other
ways, making a total of rather more than twenty-four and
a half millions. This terrible balance on the wrong side
will be met by loans and other expedients ; and an equili-
brium will, it is Loped, be gradually established by economy,
and, principally, by the sale of the Church property.
Bat as the Minister himself fixes 1875 as the earliest date
at which the receipts and expenditure will be balanced,and
as he is naturally anxious to put things as favourably as
possible, the financial state of the country may be con-
sidered practically hopeless. This Budget speech con-
tained another noticeable statement. The Italian Govern-
ment's confidence in the maintenance of peace is so
strong, that certain expenses involved in the reorganisa-
tion of the army will be spread over a long series of years,
and thus something will lie gained in this way.

BrAIN WITHOUT A GOVEENMENT.
Three elections which remained to be hell at Saragossa,
Tarragona, and Parcelona, have terminated in favour of
the Republicans by large majorities. This was to be ex-
pected, for the Republican strength lies in the large towns.
Nevertheless the Independence Belie says the lack
of a monarchical candidate strengthens the chance
of a republic each day. The position of the party is all
the stronger since it has found a great leader in Castelar,
decidedly the first orator in Spain. His recent speech on
religious liberty has made an impression, says the
correspondent of the Dairy News, which will never
be forgotten. It is not a little significant that
this " glory of Spain," as lie is called even by Minis-
terialists, was consulted by the Minister of Public Works
before drawing up the text of the new law on public in-
struction. During the last few nights the municipal
guard of Granada has obliged all passers-by to answer
the question of "Who goes?" by "Long live the Re•
public !"

DARING HIGHWAY RouDE;;.—John Turner, a rough"
looking youth, aged 17 years, was brought before Ur"
raget charged with a daring high Way robbery in a pu'l'lia
road.

Yesterday afternoon at half-past five o'clock, Mrs. irnne
Johnson, a lady residing at No. 5, College-tJrrace, Tre-
degar-square, Stepney, was passing along the north sid4
of the Mile-end- road, close to the New Globe Tavern
with two small parcels, and a purse containing LI 10s. 6d*
in her left hand, when ho came to the loft side of her and
demanded Ler purse. She requested him to leave hot'
on which he made a snatch at her purse. Mrs. Johnson:
though a slight woman, struggled with the prisoner and
called for 1102. The prisoner struck her, made a boo
snatch, and ran away with the purse and money, The
lady screamed, and called out "Stop thief." A gentleman
on horseback rode after the prisoner, who fled down the
"Longfellow-road," on the south side of the Mile-end-
road. There was no thoroughfare at the end of the Long-
fellow-road, so the prisoner was compelled to retrace bis
steps, and he was rode down and captured. Mrs. Johnson
did not see her purse and money again.
Eliza Jarratt, a widow, saw the prisoner struggling with
Mrs. Johnson, who had great difficulty in keeping her
feet.

Willatn Smith, police constable, No. 333 lc, said the pri-
soner gave his address No. 41, Devonshire-street, Stepney'
Ho was unknown there.

The prisoner, in spite of the clear evidence against hi►n,
made loud protestations of innocence, and said no purse or
money was found upon him, and he was quietly walking
along the road when a gentleman, not a police officer'
caught hold of him.
Mr. Paget said any person could apprehend a thief, and
it was the duty of every man and woman to use ever/
exertion to run down and arrest criminals. Before be
committed the prisoner for trial it would bo as well to
have the evidence of the gentleman, an officer of volen"
teers, who rode after the prisoner, and to make some in-
quiries about the prisoner himself. He remanded the pri-
soner for a week.

A FOREIGNER ON THE BUDGET.

:M ..Leon Say, the well-known economist of the
.Journal des Debats, has been criticising Mr. Lowe's
„Midget with some severity. It contains, in his
(opinion, only one remarkable feature—a kind of forced
and disguised loan to cover the expenses of the .Abyssi-
pian war. M. Say accuses Mr. Lowe of the desire to
ake a sensation by producing a Budget written like
0, novel. He shews an expenditure and income
equally balanced, and calls himself poor, and then
suddenly discovers £3,000,000 sterling, which he
gives up at once to taxpayers. His French critic
does not even allow him the merit of this fortunate
discovery, for he traces it to M. Fould's Budget
of 1862, in which the Treasury changed the dates
when Rente holders were to receive the interest of
their Rentes. The result of this change was that in
the first year there were only three-quarters to be
paid, instead of two half-years, which made 2f. 25c.,
instead of 3f. ; so that a quarter of the inte-
rest of the debt is carried over to the next
year. Mr. Lowe has, so to speak, copied M. Fould.
The present year will be richer by a quarter of the
income tax than the preceding one, and will make
the Treasury £3,000,000 sterling richer again, which
-will be used to pay the expenses of the Abyssinian
war... This arrangement, according to M. Say, is
artificial and theatrical. The Budget is a pantomimic
drama, full of tricks and changes. Mr. Gladstone's
.Budget shewed a grander simplicity. His successor
in the Chancellorship does not replace him.

TRADES UNIONS AND MR. HUGHES'S BILL.
The Trades Unions Bill, introduced by Messrs.
Hughes and Mundella, and supported by the Govern-
ment, has just been considered by the delegates of
the several unions throughout the country. Mr.
Hughes himself explained the measure to them.
There was an undercurrent of grumbling that the
bill did not give all that might be demanded ; but it
being felt that moderation in this case was strength,
a resolution was passed approving of it. Brought in
by private members, supported by the Government,
and opposed by such men as Lord Elcho, the bill
has a fair chance of passing the Householders' Parlia-
)nent.

THE ROAD AT SEA,

Sir J. II t Y asked the Pr ?•iilont of the 'Hoard of
T.ad9 ►►h a the remai :41,r 07 the cw re:.pot.dei oo the
,abj,•ct of lla rule of road at sea wind I be lii,! Ulu

appointment of a s-legit. committee of the hous3 to kqui e
foto the Causes of the loss of life and property at sea by
collitkrus, and as to the possibility of a remedy by tome
modifica!ion of the , xi,Ung rules of the road, so as to bring.
the,. into harmony with the custom of the sea and the
decisions of the courts of law. _ _

Mr. 131lIG HT said lie was not aware that there was
any correspondence that was really worth the expense of
printing. lie objected to the appointment of a select
committee for the reason that no ground existed for a
change in the rule of the road at sea.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

FRAUDS ON THE BENEVOLENT.—IIarriett Pragnell, of
Stafford Cottages, Camberwell, was charged before Mr.
Knox with endeavouring to procure charitable contribu-
tions by false pretences.
Mr. Krempowiecki attended on behalf of the Universal
Beneficent Society.
The Marquis Townshend said that having received a
letter to the effect that a young woman (prisoner) was in
great distress, he wont to the address given, No. 7,
Wyndham-road, Camberwell, and saw the prisoner and
told her to call upon him. She did so, and in consequence
of her representations ho gave her 10s. A few days after-
wards the prisoner again called upon him and said she
was advised to go to her aunt's at Prescot, and he gave
her 30s. for that purpose, but he had since found, although
he received letters from her from Prescot, written by the
prisoner, the prisoner had not been to Prescot, but sent
the letters to her aunt to send back to Loudon.
In answer to Mr. Knox, the prisoner admitted that she
had not been to Prescot, and that the letter written to the
Marquis Townshend was written by a doctor sho acci-
dentally met.

Mr. Knox said it appeared that the prisoner, although
young, was a regular begging-letter impostor, and that
she had imposed also on the Countess of Shaftesbury by
means of a similar letter in the same handwriting. She
had been guilty of very
wicked conduct, as it tended to
prevent really deserving persons from being assisted.
Philip Shrives, of the detective divisional police, said
the prisoner told him that the letters were written by a
gentleman she met in the Walworth-road, and who pro-
mised to do something for her, and that she did not go to
the Marquis Townsend, but that the Marquis went to
her, and that she never asked him for any money.
Mr. Knox said he was afraid the prisoner was in the
hands of a gang of sbegging-letter impostors who were
making her their tool. On account of her youth he would
not send her to prison for three months but would for one
moutb, and the Marquis of Townshend had authorised
him to state that if she thought proper to go to him when
she came out of prison he would try to get her into an
institution.

TIIE PROROGATION.

The end of the session is close at hand. On
Saturday the Queen in Council approved the Speech
from the Throne ; the greater proportion of our
legislators of both Houses are already away from
London, and to-morrow those who remain to the
end will be dismissed ; they will be thanked for their
attention to the business of the nation, and told that
their services can be dispensed with until the 28th
of October. If nothing happens meanwhile, Par-
liament will not meet again till February next.

THE CONS En VA TIVE PIC-NIC IN THE 7Anr, OF
DERBY'S GROUND.

The Conservative papers of Liverpool have been
advertising profusely a great Conservative pic-nic,
"to be held, by the kind permission of the Earl of
Derby, K.G., in Knowsley P.lrk." The picnic came
off on Saturday, and was a dismal failure. In point
of numbers it was good, but hardly were the first
excursionists arrived at the park when the rain fell in
torrents, some 5,000 persons being wet through to
the skin. This was bad enough, but, worst of all,
no one could get anythinm to eat or drink—end
what is a pic-nic without eating and drinking F Some
roughs attacked the refreshment van and spoiled
the food it contained ; and other roughs smashed all
the plates and dishes on which they could lay hands in
the park. So that the tickets for the train took the
neople out to get wet; the tickets for refreshments
left the people hungry.
