THIEVES AT RAILWAYS--AN OLD PRACTITIONER.
Mary Jones, a fashionably-dressed woman, about 35 years
of age, was charged with having, in company with another
woman, who had escaped, been at Victoria-station with
intent to commit felony.

Mrs. M'Gregor, the wife of a railway contractor, said
hat at five o'clock last evening she was on the platform
of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, Victoria-
station, going to Clapham. She had £2 10s. in a purse in
her dress pocket, where she found the prisoner's hand.
Prosecutrix had by accident got into the wrong train. She
was in a first-class carriage, and, although prisoner had
only a third-claSs ticket, she came into the same carrriage,
and kept getting nearer and nearer to her ; and when she
was changing for the right train, the prisoner threw her-
self in front of her, and she felt her hand in her pocket,
and saw her take it out. She stumbled and tread upon her
dress at the moment, which induced her, as prosecutrix
supposed, from fear of detection suddenly to withdraw her
hand, leaving to the purse.
Prisoner—Positively this lady is mistaken. I came up
when the train was in motion, and in my haste got into a
first-class carriage instead of a third. I was getting out
when I discovered my mistake, and might have pressed
against this lady. You did not say my hand was in your
pocket when you first spoke about this last night. Did
you, missis (addressing prosecutrix)?
Prosecutrix—l did. I saw your hand in my pocket,
and so did the guard.
The guard in question said -he weal to the 5.5 train,
which goes into the City, to examine the tickets, and asked
prisoner to produce hers. She had not got it, but a friend
who was with her produced two third-class tickets for
Moorgate-street. Witness asked her if she did not know
the difference between a first and third class carriage, when
prisoner, who was next to prosecutrix, said that another
friend intended to pay the difference of fare at the end of
the journey. Ile told theta they must leave the carriage
at once ; and at the same time the prosecutrix did, she
having by mistake got into the London and Dover train
instead of the London and Brighton to go to Clapham.
Both prosecutrix and prisoner left the carriage at the same
instant, and he saw the prisoner with her left hand in
prosecutrix's pocket.
Mr. Self. —Had you seen the prisoner before ?
Witness—She and her friend had before this been in a
first-class carriage where there was a single lady. Then
they got in where prosecutrix was.
Mr. Selfe —What became of the other?
Witness—She escaped.
Prisoner—This is quite a mistake.
Mr. Selfe—Where is your friend ?
SI I Prisoner—She was no friend of mine.

Mr. Selfe—She had your ticket.
It was stated that there had been several convictions
against the prisoner.

She was remanded.

plication be made to the Government by the Irish peers
and members of Parliament in favour of the purchase of
the Irish railways by the State." It was arranged that

MONMOUTIISIIIRE-TUESDAY.

At the local markets the business done has been remark-
ably small. Home-grown wheat has been in short sup-
ply during the last week, and business generally is still
dull. Foreign wheat offered moderately, at about previous
rates, with a sluggish business. Barley rather easier, at
previous quotations. Oats barely maintained the late ad-
vance. Malt was in moderate request. Beans showed no
change.
The following are the average quotations:—Wheat, red,.
7s Gd to 8s Od per bushel ; white, 7s 9d to 8s 6d ; inferior,
6s Od to 6s 6d ; malting barley, 44s to 48s per qr ; grind-
ing ditto, 34s to 3Gs Od; beans, 43s to 45s ; white oats, 265
to 276 Od ; black ditto, 24s 6d to 25s 6d.

S AL I SB UTRY.—T UESDAY.
At this market to-day the supply of wheat was mode-
rate. The trade was inactive, and last week's figures
declined is to 2s. Barley met with a limited demand,
and no advance in price obtained. Oats, beans, and penis
ruled dull, but were unaltered in value. Malt quiet, and
fully as dear.
The following are the quotations :—Wheat realised frofn
62s to 725; barley, 32s to 455; oats, 24s to 30s; beans, 445
to 58s; and peas, 40s to 48s per qr. Tares, from 5s 6d to
7.6 d per bushel ; Best bread, 15d ; household ditto, 14 l•
per 81b loaf. Flour, 46s to 50s per sack.

more noble satisfaction remains. for them. The
people of Austria, if they will at once embark
in the great enterprise forshadowed to them
in the present plan of the Imperial Government,
may reinstate themselves in a state surpassing
their former power. To do this, however, will be
no easy task, but they have the chance, as it re-
mains to be seen, if they have the discernment to
profit by it, and the spirit to carry out their re-
solve, so that success may be theirs in doing
so. We feel sure that they will receive all
necessary encouragement from the EMPEROR.

THE GREAT EASTERN.—MEETING OF THE
CREDITORS.--A private meeting of the creditors of
the Great Eastern Steamship Company on account of the
French charterers, was held on Monday, in the Law
Association Rooms, Liverpool. The position of affairs
would appear to be even worse than has hitherto been
represented. It was stated that the French company had
disbursed £93,000, that their liabilities wore £153,000, and
that there assets might be taken at £33,000. It should be
understood, however, that Messrs. Forrester's claim was
£51,000 ; that they have a lien on a portion of the fittings
on board valued at £22,000. The meeting considered—
first, whether or not the charter to the French company
was a regular one ; and secondly, whether or not the
Great Eastern Steamship Company had a right to invest
in Messrs. Forrester any preferential claim. The credi-
tors will most probably get Bs. Bd. in the pound only, and
that after considerable delay. An agent of the French
company, who was to bare met the creditors last week,
has, itiwas stated, not come forward with an explanation,
or, in act, had an interview with the creditors at all.
ton GLASGOW'S AUTOGRAPH.- --We take the
following anecdote from the turf items furnished to the
American Turf, Field, and Farm by its London correspon-
dent :—" The mention of Lord Glasgow's name reminds
me of an amusing anecdote of his lordship, which he him-
self tells with great gusto. Some short time ago he had
occasion to travel from London to Glasgow, and on taking
his ticket at the booking-office of the railway station ten-
dered a £lO note in payment. Befor3 giving change the
clerk, in accordance with the usual custom, requested him
to endorse the note with his name, and on his lordship's
complying with the mandate, and returning the note to the
official, the latter, after a contemptuous glance at the sig-
nature, Glasgow,' tossed it back to the owner, exclaiming
indignantly, with the air of a man whose time was too
precious to be trifled with, Put your own name to it, and
not the name of the place you want to go to, you old
fool r The denouement, as the penny novels have it, is
better imagined than described.".

The Maine Liquor L-:w.

A free conference on the legislative remedies for
intemperance was held yesterday afternoon at the
Hanover-square Rooms--Mr. Alderman Harvey, of
Salford, in the chair. The meeting was one of a
series which are being held in London for the pur-
pose of enabling the lion. Neal Dow, of Maine,
U.S., to express his opinions upon the effects of the
Maine Liquor Law in the United States of America,
with a view to the passing in this country of some
legislative enactment upon the subject. Amongst
the company on the platform were Mr. Alderman
Thomas, ex mayor of Portland, Maine ; Sir John
F. Davis, Bart., Professor Newnitn, the Ven.
Archdeacon Sandford, the Rev. Dr. Gale, the Rev.
John Deed, the Rev. John Carpenter, the Rev. Dr.
Burns, the Rev. Thomas Hutton, vicar of Stilton,
&c.
The CHAIRMAN opened the proceedings by con-
gratulating the promoters of the movement upon
the success which had attended their efforts, and by
pointing out the numerous evils which arose from
the use of intoxicating liquors. lie especially
urged upon the meeting the fact that a large pro-
portion of the crimes which filled our calendars
were caused by drink, while it was well known that
many of the inmates of lunatic asylums were
brought to that condition by an indulgence in the

same destructive habit.
L',g I The propositions brought under discussion were—
" Ist. That it has been satisfactorily proved by
all experience that the common sale of intoxicating
liquors cannot b3-left free from legislative control
and restiiction without results inimical in the
highest degree to the vital welfare and good order
of society. 2d. That the nature of the drinks
sold, combined with the cupidity of the trafficker
and the temptations offered by the traffic, have
thwarted all legislative attempts to render the com-
mon sale of intoxicating liquors harmless, and that,
therefore, license laws, however well conceived and
enforced, must ba regarded as merely temporary
expedients, until the enactment of laws tending more
effectually to promote national sobriety. 31 That
Abundant evidence having been afforded of the mani-
fold benefits that have followed the exclusion_of all
traffic in alcoholic liquors from districts of various

SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

TIMES.—The most important of the amendments
proposed to be moved in committee of the Lords
have been left to the last. On Saturday Lord Grey
and Lord Cairns gave notice of amendments, which,
taken together, would make the redistribution
clauses of the Reform Bill worthy to be coupled
with the clauses of enfranchisement. Never were
more timely suggestions made. It seemed as if
Lord Halifax, by placing an abstract resolution as
a block against going into committee, would render
it impossible to effect any sufficient extension of the
scheme of redistribution. It is true that he invites
the House of Lords to declare that the proposed
redistribution is insufficient, and that it is desirable
that additional representation should be conferred
on populous constituencies, but he has refused to
reveal any scheme of his own. Lord Grey and
Lord Cairns together have gone a long way to sup-
ply this deficiency. Lord Grey proposes that the
limit of the population of boroughs which shall lose
one of their two members shall be extended from
ten to twelve thousand. It is evident that the
range of disfranchisem'mt must be enlarged if Par-
liament desires so to resettle the representation of
the country that it may not be immediately dis-
turbed by a Reformed House of Commons. Dis-
franchisement must of course be governed by a
comparison of the claims to retain their privileges
of the towns sought to be disfranchised with the
claims of populous towns to an increased number of
members, and of new constituencies to be admitted
to the honour of sending a representative to Parlia-
ment. Apply this principle to Lord Grey's amend-
ment. The boroughs it would affect are twelve.
The list begins with Barnstaple, Beverley, and
Bridgwater, and ends with Warwick and Weymouth.
If we say that of the five thus named four are no-
torious, no person will venture to deny the truth of
the statement, while any member representing one
of them may, if he can, think that his is the
excepted constituency. The twelve boroughs have
as a whole no such reputation as should prevent
their being deprived of a member apiece. 'There is
thus no preliminary objection to their disfranchise-
ment, and if we make the comparison between them
and the towns seeking additional or original repre-
sentation, we find their case admits of no defence.
Take, for instance, Bridgewater and Bristol. They
are not far apart. The one had 11,320 inhabitants
in 1861, the other had 154,093. If the question be
asked whether it be better that each should have two
members, or that Bridgewater should have one and
Bristol three, there can be little hesitation about the

THE POPE
..divp THE CATHOLIC LAITY

OP ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND.

The Pope has fdiwarded the following answer to
the address recently sent him by the Catholics of
England and Scotland :
Beloved Sons, Health and Apostolical Benediction.
We congratulate you, beloved sons, that you
show yourselves true offspring of saints. Proof of
this is that grateful remembrance with which you
foster the blessing of the faith, once carried froin
this Roman Chair to your island, and of late re-
stored and increased. Proof, too, of that holy
transport with which you commemorate the con-
stancyof your fathers, and their sufferings for the
Catholic faith. Proof, again, of that unquestioning
obedience to this Holy See, whose primacy of
honour and jurisdiction you assert, whose doctrine
you declare that you venerate and embrace with
yoU'r whole heart, whose civil rights you hold
sacred and necessary unto the free government of
the Church ; to which, in fine, you acknowledge
yourselves most devoted, and promise a perfect
and perpetual adherence. And, indeed, you could
put forth nothing more excellent than these duties
which are the signal approval of your faith, and
nothing to us more agreeable, to whom they give
the greatest delight, because we desire nothing more
than that all should have one soul, one heart, all
be one with us, so that we all may be one in Christ.
United with this Holy See your fathers fought, and
suffering with fortitude the loss of goods, imprison-
ment, tortures, and death, handed down to you the
faith which they had received whole and entire,
and sealed with their blood. And you, closely
treading in these noble footsteps up to this time,

have sustained, together with us, a mare perilous,
though, it may be, not so ferocious a form of
conflict ; but it was with the assurance that so long
as you were fixed in this rock, against which the
gates of hell shall not prevail, victory must be with
you. Go on, then, ever in this way the more
firmly ; proceed together with us to contend by
the arms of justice against the haters of religion and
truth ; endeavour yet more studiously to propitiate
God by your zeal and works of mercy, in which
He takes most delight; persevere in prayer, and,
acquitting yourselves as men, wait for the Lord,
who, at length prevailed upon by entreaty, will
scatter the darkness of errors, still disturbances,
and, without doubt, restore the reign of justice and
of peace. We augur for you the joy of this result,
and the abundance of all heavenly graces, in token
whereof, and in witness likewise of our paternal
goodwill and kindly affection. We most lovingly
impart to all of you, and to the whole of England,
our Apostolical Benediction.
Given at Rome, at St. Peter's, on the 10th day
of July, 1867, of our Pontificate the twenty-second
year. Pius P.P. IX.

LAW LVTELLIGENCE.—(?his Day.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before Lord Justice Cairns.)
IN RE THE SUBURBAN HOTEL COMPANY.

In this case, which came before the Court in the
shape of a motion of appeal against the judgment
of Vice-Chancellor Mains for the Winding
up of this Company, judgment was given by
Lord Justice Cairns this morning. his lordship
said that the hotel was one situated at Hampstead
Heath, and it was alleged in the petition of a few
of the shareholders that it was the desire of that
body that the concern should be wound up. On
the other hand, leave to appeal had been
given to the larger body of shareholders, who
stated that it was the wish of the majority
that the undertaking should be still continued, and
that if it were under different management, and
conducted in a more economical and energetic
manner, it would ultimately pay a satisfactory
dividend. It had been argued on the part of tho
petition that, in all the cases on record, whenever
a petition of this description came before the
Court, it had invariably granted an order
for winding up, and three special cases had been
particularly mentioned. In the first of thes a the
Master of the Rolls had recommended that some
arrangement should be come to between the adverse
shareholders, but it bad subsequently come before
the Lord Chancellor, who had given it as
his opinion that as the majority of the share-
holders were in favour of still continuing
the enterprise that the company should still carry
out their operations. The second class was ono
which applied to bubble companies, which this
company certainly was not, and the third related
to mercantile transactions of a different nature.
Taking all these circumstances into consi-

deration, he was, therefore, of opinion that
the Court should not look to the probability of
success if the undertaking were still carried on, but
should rather advocate the principle that when a
majority wished to continue the enterprise they
should have the option of doing so. With great
respect to the learned Vice-Chancellor, he must
dismiss the petition with costs.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

TIMES.—The most important of the amendments
proposed to be moved in committee of the Lords
have been left to the last. On Saturday Lord Grey
and Lord Cairns gave notice of amendments, which,
taken together, would make the redistribution
clauses of the Reform Bill worthy to be coupled
with the clauses of enfranchisement. Never were
more timely suggestions made. It seemed as if
Lord Halifax, by placing an abstract resolution as
a block against going into committee, would render
it impossible to effect any sufficient extension of the
scheme of redistribution. It is true that he invites
the House of Lords to declare that the proposed
redistribution is insufficient, and that it is desirable
that additional representation should be conferred
on populous constituencies, but he has refused to
reveal any scheme of his own. Lord Grey and
Lord Cairns together have gone a long way to sup-
ply this deficiency. Lord Grey proposes that the
limit of the population of boroughs which shall lose
one of their two members shall be extended from
ten to twelve thousand. It is evident that the
range of disfranchisement must be enlarged if Par-
liament desires so to resettle the representation of
the country that it may not be immediately dis-
turbed by a Reformed House of Commons. D:s-
franchisement must of curse be governed by a
comparison of the claims to retain their privileges
of the towns sought to be disfranchised with the
claims of populous towns to an increased number of
members, and of new constituencies to be admitted
to the honour of sending a representative to Parlia-
ment. Apply this principle to Lord Grey's amend-
ment. The boroughs it would affect are twelve.
The list begins with Barnstaple, Beverley, and
Bridgwater, and ends with Warwick and Weymouth.
If we say that of the five thus named four are no-
torious, no person will venture to deny the truth of
the statement, while any member representing one
of them may, if he can, think that his is the
excepted constituency. The twelve boroughs have
as a whole no such reputation as should prevent
their being deprived of a member apiece. There is
thus no preliminary objection to their disfranchise-
ment, and if we make the comparison between them
and the towns seeking additional or original repre-
sentation, we find their case admits of no defence.
Take, for instance, Bridgewater and Bristol. They
are not far apart. The one had 11,320 inhabitants
in 1861, the other had 154,093. If the question be
asked whether it be better that each should have two
members, or that Bridgewater should have one and
Bristol three, there can be little hesitation about the
answer. The only objection which can be raised

THE HOUSE OF LORDS ASD TIIE REFORM BILL.—
Sines Lord Halifax gave notice of his resolution on gJing
in committee on the R :form 8.11, there has been such a
decided expression of dissatisfaction among the Liberals
out of doors that it is most improbable his lordship will
press it. We have every confidence that the bill will go into
committee without a division to-morrow night.—Sunday

FRENCH PLAYS.—Mr. Charles Mathews, having
kindly given the aid of his eminent talent, will play in
conjunction with M. Ravel, in the comedietta "L'Einglais
Timide," on the occasion of the benefit of the popular
French actor to-morrow evening. Considerable interest is
excited at the prospect of seeing two of the most celebrated
actors on the French and English stage in the same play.
Mr. Charles Mathews will play the part of Brown, which
he performed with immense success in Paris, at the
Theatre Varietos; Ravel playing the part of (logo.
