ART GOSSIP.

ART ON THE CONTINENT.—We recently mentioned
that the annual exhibition of French artists will take
place next year in the galleries of the Palais de l'lndus-
trie till the galleries of the new Louvre be finished. We
have now to add that, by order of the Emperor, the
exhibition will commence on the 15th of May and close
on the 15th of July. The Academie des Beaux Arts at
Paris has awarded the prizes for historical painting. The
first grand prize was gained by M. Clement, pupil of
Messre. Droning and Picot. Second grand prize to M.
Delaunay, pupil of M. Flandein ; and the second class
grand prize to M. Michel, pupil of M. Picot. This men-
tion of the relationship of master and scholar, always
formally made in France, reminds us of the schools of
the great eras of painting in Italy. An imperial decree
describes the erection in Paris of a monumental column
in honour of the army of the Crimea, and our readers
may be quite sure that French valour will be illustrated,
as it should be when the nation is the illustrator, by
French art. A colossal bronzy statue of General Le-
coarbe, by M. Etex, will be inaugurated with much
mintery pomp next month at Lous-le-Saulnier, „the na-
tive piece of the general.
The Revue des Beaux Arts, in alluding to the legiti-
mate success of the exhibition of pictures at the Crystal
Palace, rather amusingly promises its readers an an-
swer to " the question often asked, why the French sell
such a small number of pictures inEngland ?" A bronze
statue of Joan of Arc, by M. Paul, has been provision-
ally erected in the Champs Eysees. Its ultimate desti•
nation is the village of tiomremy. The pendant to Kiss's
Antazse, at Berlin, which is intended to be placed on
the other side of the entrance to the Museum, is in pro-
gress under the band of the sculptor Albert Wolff. It
represents a naked youth mounted on a horse, and con-
tending successfully against a lion that has attacked him.
Preparations are making at St. Petersburg, fOr the
erection of an equestrian statue to the late Emperor
Nicholas. The site is to be the square which lies be-
tween the cathedral church of St. Isaac and the palace
of the Grand Duchess Marie ; and the pedestal will ex-
hibit on its sides basei-relievi representing four leading
incidents in the reign of the Czar. The sculptor com•
missioned is the Baron Kloodt. • An exhibition of paint-
ings and other objects of art, now open at Amsterdam,
is said to be very remarkable. Mr. Csypel, the cele-
brated Belgian sculptor—who executed gratuitously the
statue of Vandyke erected on the Place du Muses at
Antwerp, and which was inaugurated before the King
of the Belgians during the recent fetes —has been nomi-
nated a chevalier of the order of Leopold by his Majesty,
and the city of Antwerp has made him a rich presenta-
tion of plate.

Another statue has been added since the prorogation
of Parliament to those already placed in St. Stephen's
Hall, namely, one to Charles JaMOS Fox, executed by
Mr_ ita.a...y, R.A.

hour there was quite a large assemblage to see the
steamer off, On the evening previous, subsequent

FRANCE.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
A Paris letter, in the Independance of Brussels,
says :—" M. Gauthier, sub-governor of the Bank
of, France, went on Saturday to Saint Cloud, and
requested so strongly to see the Emperor that his
Majesty, though he was out shooting with the Em-
press in the reserved park, received him ; he then
with extreme earnestness asked his Majesty to au-
thorise the forced circulation of bank notes, and
the reasons which he gave for his application bore
the impress of a profound conviction. Although
the Emperor is not a partisan of this measure, he
said that he would have it examined by the council
of ministers. This was done, and it was decided
almost unanimously that the authorisation should
[ not be accorded." .

Marshal Francisco Serrano y Dominguez had
the honour of an audience of the Emperor yester-
day at St. Cloud, and presented his letters of cre-
dence as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipo-
tentiary of the Queen of Spain and of the Infant
Duke of Parma and Placentia, as well as letters
from his Sovereign putting an end to the mission of
M. de Olozaga. The marshal delivered an address,
to which the Emperor replied. The Ambassador
was conveyed to St. Cloud, with his suite, in court
carriages, and returned to the Spanish Ethbassy
with the same ceremonial.
The Second Congress of Paris cannot assemble
earlier than the 15th November.
BOURSE, Oct. 8, Two o'clock.— The tone of the

BANKRUPTCY.

This morning Mr. Linklater attended before his
Honour to open another petition in bankruptcy against
the Royal British Bank. The present proceedings were
taken at the instance of Mr. Tressam Burke, of Gresham-
street, india rubber manufacturer, and were founded on
the 7th and Bth Victoria, c. 111, commonly known as
the Winding-up Act, by the 4th section of which it is
enacted that "if any commercial or trading company,
or any joint-stock company, shall commit any act of
bankruptcy, a fiat in bankruptcy may issue against the
same, and may be prosecuted in like as against other
bankrupts."

Mr. Linklater submitted that this act had not been
repealed by the Bankruptcy Law Consolidation Act.
His Honour asked if there had been any other case
like it before ?

Mr. Linklater was not aware that there had.
The usual forms were gone through, and an adjudica-
tion took place.

Mr. Linklater said that the matter was now taken
out of the hands of the official manager.

Mr. Johnstone, the messenger of Mr. Commissioner
Holroyd's Court, at one proceeded to take possession.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.)

MANSION-HOUSE.

Philip Cliford, a tramp, a tall, wild-looking fellow,
with a profusion of hair, was placed at the bar before
Mr. Alderman Wire, charged with breaking a pane of
glass, value Bs., in the shop window of Mr. Joseph
%STybrow, grocer, 17, Sparrow-court, Minories.
The complainant stated that, this morning, about
half-past 8 o'clock, the prisoner, who was drunk in
Sparrow-court, and as he passed his shop in company
with another man, he pushed his head through the glass
and broke it ; he ran out and secured the prisoner, but
the other man ran off and escaped.

The prisoner, in defence, said that he had just "come
off the road" on tramp, and having met with a friend he
had a little too much to drink ; he denied that he put
his head through the window, and said it was the other
man who pitched him through. (Laughter.)
Alderman Wire fined him Bs., the damage, and is.
for being drunk, or 10 days' imprisonment.
The prisoner was locked up.

SINGULAR CASE OF ROBBERY.—JuIia Welch, a woman
of the town, was charged with stealing a silver water;
and a gold guard chain from a Swedish seaman, named
Christian Janson, belonging t• the British merchant
service,.

It appeared from the evidence of the seaman that about
8 or 9 menthe ago he was inveigled into a low brother,
No. 7, Crown-court, Glasshouse-street, Whitechapel,
where ho met with the fate of all mariners who enter
the infamous houses in the district of this court—he wags
ill used, robbed of his money, and stripped of his
clothes. He was compelled to go to sea directlly
afterwards, and the wretches who plundered hiaii
were never brought to justice. A few days
ago the sailor again arrived in London, and lee
was paid off with his shipmates on Friday last at
the Sailors' Home, in West-street, Wellclose-squar s.
On Tuesday evening the prisoner met a man in the
street who expressed the greatest sympathy and respect
for him. The sailor said he had been robbed on the tecr-
mination of a former voyage, and feared he should
be robbed again, on which his new acquaintance
said he would take him to a respectable house, where
he could obtain a lodging, and be well provided for. The
sailor accompanied his quondam friend through a
i
laby-
rinth of courts and alleys n the neighbourhood until
they reached Crown-court, when the sailor was con-
ducted into the very house and the same room where he
had been robbed eight or nine months ago. The prisoner
was in the room, and asked him for some money.
The sailor said he would give her none, and recognising
the room in which he had been formerly robbed end( a-
voured to force his way out of the place. The prison er
immediately put her arms round his neck and endea-
voured to detain him. He struggled with her, and the
man who first accosted him in the street called out have
you your watch and guard right ? and the prisoner laid
hold of both and took them from hiamn.,
hTerhbensialyil,ornttrruild
to recover his property, on which the prisoner threatenod
to punch his eye out, and the man,
him, The sailor then escaped from the house as soon

as possible.
Yesterday evening Kelly, a police constable, No. 130
H, found the prisoner at home in the act of concealing a
gold watch and guard, which he took from her. lie also
found upon her 13 duplicates nlating to property
pawned, but could not trace the sailors' watch and guard,.
but the police constable hoped that he should be enabled
to trace the sailor's property if time was given him.
Kelly added that the prisoner was the most notorious
thief in the neighbourhood.
The prisoner was remanded till Saturday.

The granite roadway between Duncannon and Agar-
streets, West Strand, is at present undergoing repair by

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin, in the Presse Beige, says :
—" M. de Gerlach has, for the second time, sent
in his resignation of his two posts of general aide-
de-camp to the King and reporting councillor to
the military Cabinet, and this time it has been
accepted. At first, the cause alleged by him was
his great ago. But the real motive is his enmity
towards Gen. Willisen, an adherent of the Prince
of Prussia, and who commanded the Prussian army
in Schleswig-Holstein sewn years ago. On the con-
clusion of peace Gen. Willisen was placed in the
suite of the King and has now been appointed, chief
director of the Royal Stud. M. de Gerlach could
not bear to sea the general recalled into activity,
and so resigned. It is believed that he wants to
obtain the post of commandant of the 7th division
of the army, now held by Gen. Roth von Schreck-
enstein, and that the latter will replace M. de Ger-
lach in his functions."

The German Journal of Frankfort asserts, on the
authority of a Berlin letter of the sth, that the pro-
position respecting Neufchatel, which Prussia in-
tends to submit to the German Diet, is simply that
the Diet shall recognise her rights to the canton,
as the great powers of Europe have done.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET;

DRUNKENNESS AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—Mary Ann
Ilrest, a young woman of decent appearance, was brought
before Mr. Bingham, charged with having attempted to
commit suicide in a cell at Vine-street station-house,
where she was locked up for being drunk and disorderly.
Kelly, 67 C, stated that on the previous evening he
WAS on duty at the station-house, when the defendant
was brought in much the worse for drink. He locked
her up in a cell by herself, and at eight o'clock, in con-
sequence of hearing a noise proceed from her cell,
be visited her and found her in the act of strangling
herself with her pocket-handkerchief, which she bad tied
tightly round her throat and secured to the bolt
of the door. She appeared to be in her last gasp, and
be at once cut her down, and a medical man was sent
for, who advised her instant removal to the workhouse.
The prisoner said she was so very much intoxicated at
the time that she realiy bad not the least recollection
of what had occurred.

Mr. Bingham said he could not express much surprise
that a woman so given to drink as the prisoner appeared
to be should make such an attempt, as it was a proba-
ble proceeding to one, no doubt, so unhappy. The
most charitable thing be could now do would be to take
care of her for seven days, and he should commit her to
prison for that period.

THAMES.

SINGULAR CASE OE ROBBERY.—JuIia Welch, a woman
of the town, was charged with stealing a silver watc'a
and a gold guard chain from a Swedish seaman, named
Christian Janson, belonging to the British merchant
ser vice.

It appeared from the evidence of the seaman that about
S or 9 months ago he was inveigled into a lo w brothel,
No. 7, Crown-court, Glasshouse-street, Whitechapel,
where he met with the fate of all mariners who enter
the infamous houses in the district of this court—he was
ill used, robbed of his money, and stripped of his
clothes. He was compelled to go to sea, directly
afterwards, and the wretches who plundered him
were never brought to justice. A few days
ago the sailor again arrived in London, and he
was paid off with his shipmates on Friday last at
the Sailors' Home, in West-street, Wellclose-equare.
On Tuesday evening the prisoner met a man in the
street who expressed the greatest sympathy and respect
for him. The sailor said he had been robbed on the ter-
mination of a former voyage, and feared he should
said
aee
d berobbedcouldwoobu
obtain
ada again,
take
ai n
him to a respectable house, where
blodging, and be well provided for. The, on which his new acquaintance
sailor accompanied his quondam friend through a laby-
rinth of courts and alleys in the neighbourhood until
they reached Crown-court, when the sailor was con-
ducted into the very house and the same room where he
had been robbed eight or nine months ago. The prisoner
was in the room, and asked him for some money.
The sailor said he would give her non; and recognising
the room in which he had been formerly robbed endea-
voured to force his way out of the place. The prisoner
immediately put her arms round his neck and endea-
voured to detain him. He struggled with her, and the
man who first accosted him in the street called out have
you your watch and guard right ? and the prisoner laid
hold of both and took them from him. The sailor tried
to recover his property, on which the prisoner threatened
to punch his eye out, and the man, her bully, struck
him. The sailor then escaped from the house as soon
as possible.
Yesterday evening Kelly, a police constable, No. 120
H, found the prisoner at home in the act of concealing a
gold watch and guard, which he took from her. He also
found upon her 13 duplicates relating to property
pawned, butcould not trace the sailors' watch and guard,
but the police constable hoped that he should be enabled
to trace the sailor's property if time was given him.
Kelly added that the prisoner was the most notorious
thief in the neighbourhood.
The pritoncr was remandei till Saturday.

The granite roadway between Duncannon and Agar-
streets, West Strand, is at present undergoing repair by
the entire removal of the old pavement and relaying the
foundation and resetting the stone work in cement.

GUILDHALL.

The business of this Court commenced this morning
shortly after 9 o'clock, and by 12 o'clock, the usual
time at which the business commences, the whole of the
cases were disposed of. The police magistrates of the
City, or rather we should say the presiding aldermen,
appear to imagine they are privileged to play such fan-
tastic tricks as they please, in connection with the busi-
ness of the Courts, and from the continual changes they
ridiculeofthe of all those who have ir
fmoraktehezi sethlveeshtohuer opening, they have earned
busi-
ness to transact there, and the sobriquet of " Civic
Jim Crows." It is to be hoped that in the new London
Corporation Bill, Sir G. Grey will make provision for
the appointment of stipendiary magistrates for the City
police courts, and fix the hour for commencing business
at not later than 10 o'clock a.m. If the aldermen of
London would only condescend to put a notice
up in the Court announcing the change of
hour the day before the change is to take place, much
inconvenience and disappointment would be avoided ;
but ,then who ever heard of the condescension of an
alderman when wrapt in civic robes and ermine, and
perched on the judicial bench.

Alfred Moger, aged 20, a porter in the employ of
Messrs. Crowden, Garrord, and Co., of Falcon-street,
Aldersgate-street, brush manufacturers, was placed at
the bar before Sir H. Muggeridge, on remand, charged
with stealing a quantity of brushes, value 71., their pro-
perty.
Mr. Wontner appeared for the prisoner.

The prisoner had been in the prosecutor's employ about
seven months, and during that time he had continually
plundered his employers, and pawned the goods as his
property.
The prisoner was committed for trial.

M. Gonzales Romero, M. Gonzales Bravo, M.

had been in exile, have returned to Madrid. A
letter from a semi-official source says that there is
no truth whatever in the assertion made by a Bel-
gian journal (the Independance), that the reason
why M. Salavierra was nominated Minister of
Finance, was that he had advanced to the privy
purse of the Queen a sum of 7,000,000 reals, which
her Majesty requiied on the occasion of the mar-
riage of Dona Anialia.

A report has been gaining ground in Berlin for

DRUNKENNESS AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—Mary A out
Wect, a young woman of decent appearance, was brou eat
before Mr. Bingham, charged with having attempted to
commit suicide in a cell at Vine-street station-horse,
where she was locked up for being drunk and disorderly.
Kelly, 67 C, stated that on the previous evening he
was on duty at the station-house, when the defend:int
was brought in much the worse for drink. He look:red
her up in a cell by herself, and at eight o'clock, in c‘ni-
sequence of hearing a noise proceed from her cedl,
he visited her and found her in the act of straugli c g
herself with her pocket-handkerchief, which she had ti.ied
tightly round her throat and secured to the b nit
of the door. She appeared to be in her last gasp, acd
be at once cut her down, and a medical man was stint
for, who advised her instant removal to the workhouses.
The prisoner said she was so very much intoxicated at
the time that she really had not the least recollecti o n
of what had occurred.

Mr. Bingham said he could not express much surprise
that a woman so given to drink as the prisoner appeared
to be should make such an attempt, as it was a proba-
ble proceeding to one, no doubt, so unhappy. The
most charitable thing he could now do would be to take
care of her for seven days, and he should commit her to
prison for that period.

ROBBERY BY RAILWAY SERVANTS.—The Court of
Assizes, two days ago, tried two young men, named
Goubaud and Renarre, in the service of the Western
Railway, for robbery. On 12,th June last, one Four-
nier, sub-chief of a station on the St. Germain line, took
to a female named Bourgeade, receiver at one of the
stations, a quantity of tickets which had already served,
and requested her to dispose of them ; offering to leave
her a part of the proceeds, on condition of the remainder
being given to Goubaud, a ticket-taker at the St. Ger-
main station. Mine. Bourgeade refused to have any-
thin..' to do with the tickets, and caused a communica-
tion to be made to the railway authorities. :Fournier,
being questioned, said that Gcubaud had given him
the tickets to be disposed of for their joint benefit, and
that lie had proposed to Mine. Bourgeade to be their
ace.implice in the sale of them. He added that three
years ago he and Gouband had begun defrauding the
company ; he, who was then employed at Paris, selling
tickets which had already served, and which Goubaud
kept back out of those he received at St. Germain.
A few days after making this confession Fournier com-
mitted suicide. The investigation being continued, au
employe declared that Renarre, an employe also on the
line, who lived in a style beyond his means, had fre-
quently taken whole pocketfuls of old tickets from the
heaps on which they wPre thrown to be sorted, and had
then disposed of them. This, however, Renarre positively
denied, and defied any proof of the facts alleged against
him to be adduced. Tie jury in his case brought in a
verdict of acquittal, but convi,eted Goubaud. The court
sentenced the latter to a year s imprisonment.

This company is established for two reasons—first, because
it is wanted ; and second, because it will pay. India wants
cheap means of conveyance for her produce; water conveyance
is cheaper than any possible mode of conveyance by land ; and
ten thousand miles of this cheap water conveyance will be
afforded by the great rivers when properly navigated by steam.
The last dividend of the Gauges Steam Company was 48 per
cent. per annum, and the latest returns of a Navigation Com-
pany on the Godavery was 55 per cent. The field, however,
is far too large to be adequately filled by local effort, and au
English Company is necessary, which, with adequate capital,
will render available the resources of European science.

ROBBERIES BY FRENCH 'SOLDIERS.

The French law punishes with excessive severity any
soldier, who may commit a robbery, however petty, in a
house in which he is billeted. On Tuesday the military
tribunal tried a soldier of the Gist Regiment, named
Benard, for having taken a pair of embroidered slippers
from a public-house in the Department of the Yonne, to
which ho was assigned in the course of a march with a
small detachment. Thaman did not deny having taken
the slippers ; indeed they were found on his feet by the
innkeeper, who on missing them rode after him ; but ho
said that finding them placed by his bedside on getting
up in the morning, he bad supposed that the hostess, on
whom he flattered himself he had made a favourable im-
pression, had presented them to him, and that at all
evetts he had taken them as a simple souvenir without
the slightest intention of stealing them. The tribunal
told the man that he had rendered himself liable to ten
years' hard labour in irons, but that, taking an indulgent
view of the case, it would only sentence him to five
years' imprisonment.
The military tribunal of Paris on Tuesday tried a soldier
of the Army Works Corps, named Gatherot, for robbery.
He formed part of a detachment stationed in Fort Va-
lerian, and on the 12th August last he went with three
comrades to a wine shop at Suresnes. There the four
men drank eight quarts of white wine, and when they
came to pay the score Gatherot avowed that he had only
if. 15c. A little after, however, he took his three
comrades to a cafe in the village, and to their surpri,e
treated them liberally. After they had left the wine
shop, the landlord discovered that three pieces of 51.
and about sf. in small coin had been stolen from his till,
and he communicated his loss to a corporal who hap-
pened to come in. The corporal went alter the four
men, and finding that Gatherot had treated the others at
the cafe, he asked him where bad got the money ; be
answered that a frieni', named Etienne, ,of Paris, had
lent him a piece of 201. It was, however, stated teat i,
was not with a piece of gold that he had paid in the
cafe, and on searching him the corporal foul d that he
had on him two pieces of sf. and some small coin, which,
with what he had paid, made up about 201. The
cor
poral insisted that he should take him to the M. 'Etienne
referred to, in order that that person might declare•
whether or not he had made any loan of 20f. ; but, on
arriving in Paris, Gatherot requested the corporal to go
alone to Etienne, whilst he waited for him at a. cafe.
The corporal went to Etienne, who told him that he had
not lent the prisoner any money for a long time ; and on
returning to the cafe the corporal foetid that Gatheret
had left for Rouen. The man was subsequently erreeteti
in that city, and he confessed that he bad robbed the
Keeper of the wine shop, but promised to repay what he
tole—a promised which he afterwards kept. The Court
ee!entenced hien to a year's iinprisoewent.
