THE POLICE AND COACHMEN OF THE GENTRY.—Web
Lock, a servant, was charged with obstructing the police
at a large party given last night at the South Kensington
Museum.

From the evidence of the police it appeared that the
defendant's master, Mr. Bennett, a Master in the Court of
Common Pleas, was at the entertainment in question. His
carriage was called at a little after 11, at which time de-
fendant was standing with several others in the door-
way. lie was requested to stand back, but persisted iu
coming forward. Ile was then taken into custody, when
he resisted. lie was taken to the station and kept there
all night.

Tho defence was that defendant was with his master's
carriage, that he wa,:i merely looking out for him at the
door, when ho was unnecessarily put back, pushed about,
and taken into custody.

Defendant's master-proved that it could not have been
more than three minutes from the time defendant was on
the box of his carriage and left it until ho (the master)
was Wily in his carriage and off. lie could not toll what
had become of his servant, and he was not allowed to stop
and inquire after him.

Mr. Arnold did not think that the police had acted
rightly in keeping the defendant in custody upon such a
trivial charge. He thought they ought to have let him at
large on his own recognizances. lia thought it was a
proper charge to bring forward, but the offence not one
requiring punishment.

Defendant was dise!largod on enteritis into his own ro
eognisanees to keep the peace.

DEATH OF HENRI' RAYMOND OF 7'HE
"NE IV FORK 7'1.11E5."

Last Saturday news was recefrod 'in London by cab'o
that Mr. IfenryJ. Raymond, editor of the New York Times,
had died in New York of apoplexy on the previous day,
18th June. Ili,; loss will be felt in Europe as well as in
America, fur the powerful organ of public opinion he
established and edited made his infl:ieneefe't on bush rides
of the ocean, and always beneficially, for his brilliant pen
was used only in the true interests of his country, which
are tho.ie of jm.tieo and moderation, whet/Ihr the qu,stion
be internal or international. Before the foundation of the
New York Tizzies the American press bad not at:allied the
position it now occupies in public estimation. To write
calmly, judicially, and d'sregarding prejudice to the ut-
most, while adhering rigidly to truth as the writer sees
it, were not then the clutractetisticsof New York journal-
ism. The public have little idea how vast the opportuni-
ties are for one having the absolute control of a great
journal to garLle news, to suppress, to give undue pro-
minence, and generally to create a false impression in the
readers' mind, on which he unconsciously acts. Although
always in the long run tho interest of a newspaper, as of
everything else, is to be truthful, yet it may not be so for
the immed'ate gain of the editor, and men not directed by
principle may feel inclined to secure the present at the
expense of the future. Mr. Raymond introduced a new
style of journalism which was rapidly appreciated by the
public and tended powerfully to elevate the American
press. Horace Greeley has said that he is content to hand
down his name to posterity in connection with the New
fork Tribule alone, and Henry J. Raymond's name may,
in the same way, he associated with the New York
Times. Nor is Mr. Greeloy's saying a vain boast ; for those
who have established leading papers in the metrop dis of
America have achieved a work witch can be accom-
plished but by very, very few, almost necessarily, too,
by men of very superior qualifications. The habit of
associating the edi'or's name with his paper has perhaps
grown out of the circumstances attending its foundation,
for he (the proprietor) cannot fail to be coupled with his
stow and untried experiment. That habit will doubtless
die out in America, with the illustrious few new associated
with these organs, and the English practice prevail, but
the New York Times of a century hence will still be con-
nected with the name of lb my J. Raymond. Ile was an
indefatigable worker, which even the duties of a daily,
one of the onerous positions in the world, did not satisfy,
for he took an active political part with the Republicans,
and sat in Congress, where he greatly distinguished him-
self by a display of those qualities that so marked his
paper—eloquence, impartiality, and reo leration. The day,
however, was opposed to such qualities; nor is war a fit
time for their exercise. Under the uncompromising rule
of the Anti-Slavery loaders the Radicals would permit no
backsliding, no lagging in the onward march. Mr. Ray-
mond, after the war, so earnestly advocated conciliation
that his party fell away from him, or he from it, and al-
though, with great ability, he maintained his position, his
followers decreased, and he left Congress with the failure
of his policy. At one time he held the post of Liouten
tnt-
Governor of New York, but whether as an official, a Con-
gressman, or an editor, his conduct was alwaysdistinguished
by uprightness and an honest discharge of his duties.
He never allowed his political proclivities to bias his judg-
ment, or the fierce strain of party strife to ruffle his tem-
per, and he never used the instrument in his hand to
damage those who had been faithless or hostile to himself.
Acting, then, so largely on reason, his paper was always
marked by the justice of its observations and the strength
of its arguments, and no other paper is so generally quoted
in Europe. Considering the public position ho has occu-
pied, considering the weight of the organ he controlled,
perhaps no other American citizen could leave behind him
so few enemies, indeed it may be doubted whether he has
in death a single ill-wisher; for although his manner was
cold and reserved, his heart was singularly genial and
warm, his disposition forgiving, and his nature in the
highest degree charitable. He is everywhere a great loss,
but especially to the profession of journalism, of which he
was so distinguished a member.

LADYEATISEMENT4—Henceforth no one will doubt the valuable
properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Rovelents Arablea
Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings
it has already received from Invalids whose position had been
deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the Pope,
whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of
unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the " Uazette du
Midi," July 25th :—" Rome, July 21, 1866. The health of the Holy
Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other reme-
dies, ho has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta
Arabica Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal.
It has produced a surprisingly beneficial effect on his health, and
his Holiness cannot praise this excellent food too highly." We
extract a few out ofmore than 68,000 cures:—Cure No. 58,216, of
the Marchioness de Brehan, of seven years' liver complaint
wasting away, debility, nervousness, with a nervous palpitation,
all over, bad digestion, constant sleeplessness, and the most in-
tolerable nervous agitation. Cure No 1.771: Lord Stuart de
Deities, Lord-Lieutenant of Waterford, of many years' dyspepsia.
No. 49,8.32: "Fifty years' indescribable agony from dyspepsia,
nervousness, asthma, cough, constipation, flatulency, spasms,
sickness, and vomiting—Maria Joly." Cure No. 46,270: Mr
James Roberts, of Frimley, Surrey, of 30 years' diseased lungs,
spitting of blood, liver derangement, and partial deafness. Im
portant Caution—Beware of the many unsavoury and more that
sloppy imitations to which, without authority, Baron Liebig's
name is most audaciously attached.
