PERTII—TAY PEARL FISIIING.—D.uring the past
two weeks, pearl fishing in the Tay iu the neighbourhood
of Perth has been prosecuted with considerable success.
On the Broxie waters, a short distance north to the con-
fluence of the Almond with the Tay, a diver has been en-
gaged in dredging the " &mile Hole," and has brought up
to the surface some two or three cwt. of mussel shells each
day, which have been opened on the spot. A very large
number of pearls have been got by this means of fishing.
The pearls, however, are generally of rather small size,
but many of them very puro and of good marketable value.
Diving is to be resorted to on other parts of the river ad-
jacent to Broxie ; but in the meantime the diver has gone
to the Isla to operate upon its mussel beds, which ere re-
ported to be well euPPliel—Sokman•

POLICE INTELLIGEffCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
ROBBERY AT THE ENTRANCE OF HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
—Henry Johnson, a well-dressed young man, who refused
his address, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with steal-
ing from the person of Mr. Stanley Dent, wine merchant,
of 31, Great Tower-street, City, a gold watch of the value
of £26.
Mr. Sayer, from the office of Mr. Edward Lewis, of
Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the defence.
Mr. Dant said—Last night, shortly after twelve o'clock,
I was standing on the stops of her Majesty's Theatre wait-
ing for my carriage, when the prisoner snatched my watch
from my waistcoat pocket, and then ran away. I followed
him, calling "Stop thief," and he went in and out of the
carriages, and tried to turn down a street above the opera
house, but he was stopped by a constable. He, however,
succeeded in making off again, and was stopped by another
constable, several persons having given chase, and I suc-
ceeded in being in at the death. The prisoner was then
taken to the station.
Mr. Tyrwhitt —What is your watch worth ?
Prosecutor—About £26.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—ls the prisoner the man ?
Prosecutor—He is. I never lost sight of him.
Police-constable Luke Jeffery, 49 C—At a quarter-past
12 o'clock last night I was on duty at the corner of Charles-
street. I heard the cry of "Stop thief," and saw the pri-
soner running in front of the prosecutor and several others.
I stopped him and asked him what ho was running for,
and he replied, " I do not know." A gentleman in the
crowd handed me a watch which he had picked up, and
which the prosecutor identified as his property. On search-
ing the prisoner at the station I found another watch
(gold, maker's name Perry) and chain and locket, and
some money.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—The prisoner will bo remanded for a
week.
prisoner is well known to the police.

THE VISIT OF THE SULTAN TO THE

CITY.

The reception of his Imperial Majesty the Sultan
by the Corporation of the city of London, at Guild-
hall, has been fixed to take place on the evening of
Thursday week, the 18th July, and bands of work-
men and skilled artisans are engaged day and night
in making the necessary preparations, under the
direction of Mr. Horace Jones, the city architect,
and the supervision of the Entertainment Commit-
tee. Some natural regret has been felt by the execu-
ti►•e committee for conducting the reception of the
Belgian Riflemen that the City authorities should
have fixed the same evening for the reception of
the Sultan as the executive committee had, weeks
before, appointed for the grand ball at tin Agri-
cultural Hall. The Prince of Wales has been
invited to honour both entertainments wi
his presence, and hence the inconvenience of
holding them on the same evening, the authorities
on eackside being d:sirous of enjoying as mach as
possible of the company of his Royal highness. It
is due to the civic digaitariei to state that the 18th
was appointed by them chiefly from a desire to con-
sult the convenience of the Sultan, as they under-
stood that convenience, having regard to the limited
stay and to the other engagements previously made
by his Imperial Majesty. It was fixed, too, when
the Lord Mayor was absent iu Paris as the heal of
a deputation from the Corporation at the ceremony
of distributing the prizes at the International Exhi-
bition, and when he was prevented conferring with
the chairman of the Entertainmen,t Committee on
the subject. The city authorities, however, now
that they have been informed that one entertain-
ment is likely to interfere with the other, have
shown a laudable desire to present such a result as
far as possible, and with that view are disposed to
fix the reception of the Sultan at an hour in the
-evening sufaciently early to enable the Prince of
Wales to be present at both fetes. The reception of
his Imperial Majesty at Guildhall will probably be
held at 7 o'clock, and his Royal Highness the Prince
of Wales, in that case, it is hoped, will be able to
graCe the Belgian fete at the Agricultural Hall with
his presence for some considerable time at a later
hour in the evening. _ _ _

In the meantime invitations are being issued by
the Entertainment Committee at Guildhall to the
forthcoming reception, and several members of the
Royal family, besides the Prince of Wales, and
many other distinguished personages, are expected
to be present on the occasion. The whole of her
Majesty's Ministers have been invited, as have also
a considerable number of peers and members of
Parliament, the, foreign ambassadors, the mayors
of the chief cities and towns, the masters of the prin-
cipal Livery Companies of the city of London, with
many other persons in a representative or official
character, and the entertainment promises to be
worthy alike of the illustrious visitor in whose honour
it is being prepared and of the Corporatioh of London.

which reference had been made. It was represented
to him that such a rule of the association existed,
and he wished to give Lieut. Cooper an opportunity
of availing himself of it— nothing more nor less ; and
he would have done the same with respect to any
other member. Absence from London and illness
were the causes that prevented Lieut. Cooper mak-
ing himself efficient. When he gave Cooper's cer-
tificate witness accepted it as a fact of his being
efficient from the circumstance of his name having
been tendered to him by the adjutant or by the
sergeant-major. In 18G5 it was brought to his
knowledge that be was not efficient, and witness
acted accordingly. Ire never signed any certificate
for him without believing he was efficient at the
time. By the President—lt was possible witness
might have signed a certificate when Lieut. Cooper
might not have been efficient. With this the case
of the complainant closed, and Captain Clark, the
defendant, applied for an adjournment to enable him
to prepare his defence and to call witnesses. The
President said the matter lay in a nutshell, and a
short adjournment might answer Capt. Clark's pur-
pose. There was no doubt, he added, that Lieut.-
Colonel Lawrie remarked, in reply, that he shot
under the exceptional rule of the association. The
hearing was eventually adjourned.

ITALY.

FLORENCE, July 9 (Evening.)

In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, to-
day, Signor Nicotera moved the production of the
documents relating to the last negotiations with
Rome. Signor Rattazzi promised to present them
to the Chamber after having examined them.
London, England, 1867-07-10

On the 19th Mr. Henry Seymour will call the
attention of the House of Commons to the long-continued
imprisonment and ill-treatment of her Majesty's envoy and
her Majesty's consul and other subjects of her Majesty by
the King of Abyssinia, and to pray her Majesty that proper
steps may be taken to procure the release of the prisoners
by force of arms.

A Moscow paper states that in 1853 the Russian
army consisted of 580,000. At the present time it consists
of 800,000 men. This number could be soon increased
to 1,180,000, besides 300,000 irregular troops. The Czar
has, therefore, a total military force of nearly 1,500,000
men.

REPRESENTATION OF CIIELSEA.—Sir Hy. Ainslie
Hoare, Bart., who will ask the suffrages of the electors of
the proposed new borough of Chelsea at the next dissolu-
tion, has been an energetic and efficient supporter of the
Liberal cause for many years. In his address he declares
his confidence in Mr. Gladstone, as tho great Liberal
Minister to whom England owes so much; he is stead-
fastly opposed to church rates, and will support the exten-
sion of public education and the removal of religious
disabilities at the universities.

DEATHS BY DROWNING AT STAINES.—On Satur-
day a party of seven or eight men (oxen' sionists in a van
from London) took a boat at Egham Lock, and rowed or
drifted down the stream as far as Staines Railway-bridge.
At this point it would app"ar that the rudder became un-
shipped ; throe of them foolishly attempted to replace it, and
in doingso capsized the boat. By the strenuous exertions of
some gallant fellows on the bank most of thorn were rescued,
but two of them found a watery grave. On the Saturday
previous a similar accident took place near the same spot, by
which one man was drowned. In both cases the men were
in a state of partial, if not entire, intoxication ; in the lat-
ter so much so that the boatman at Staines would not let
them a boat, so they proceeded to Eghatu Lock.
ACCIDENT AT CAMBERWELL FAlR.—During the
week a pleasure fair has been held in a large piece
of pasture land leading from Southampton-street to Bruns-
wick-square, Camberwell. On Tuesday an immense num-
ber of persons visited the fair ; and in the evening a boy,
named Joseph Ealing, was standing at the side of a round-
about worked by steam power, which was turning round
at a rapid speed, when he fell amidst the works of the
machine, and before it could be stopped, or the unfortu-
nate boy pulled out, his head was terribly mangled, the
scalp being torn off, his jaw fractured, and his skull se-
verely injured. He was removed to St. Thomas's Hospital,
but no hcpes,are given of his recovery.
FALL OF A BRIDGE.--A telegram from Mar-
seilles reports that the brickwork bridge across the new
Lours Lieutaud, in that city, fell ou Saturday afternoon,
and that 20 workmen were either killed or injured.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, Tuesday Evening.
The conduct of Prussia in reference to the execu-

tion of the Treaty of Prague is beginning to excite
uneasiness, not to say alarm. Iler attitude is not
that of refusal, but one of evasion. The ratifica-
tions of this Treaty were exchanged so long ago as
the 30th of August, 1866, and not a step has yet
been taken to carry it into execution. On the con-
trary, the wish seems to be to create a delay until
the Greek Kalends. It may not be amiss, under
these circumstances, to give the exact text of the
article in question. It is as follows :
his Majesty the Emperor of Austria transfers

to his Majesty the King of Prussia his rights ac-
quired by the Peace of Vienna of the 30th of Oc-
tober, 1864, over the Duchies of Holstein and
Schleswig, with the reservation that the population
of the northern districts of Schleswig, should they
express by free suffrage the desire to belong to Den-
mark, may be ceded to that State."
Nothing seems clearer than this provision (says the
Sift.le), and yet the Cabinet of Berlin seems to
desire to elude it by all kinds of chicanery. Before
acceding to this condition, to which it may be con-
strained to submit of consulting the populations in
conformity with the text of the Treaty, the
Prussian Government first expressed a desire that
there should be an amicable understanding relative
to the guarantees necessary to insure the protection
of the native Germans residing in that territory as
to the proportional part of the debt of the
Duchies, which should be at the charge of Den-
mark.
By a despatch of the Ist of June, which the
Minister, M. de Frigs, confidentially communicated
to Ni. de Quaade, the Cabinet of Copenhagen re-
ferred to existing laws and treaties, which seemed
to suffice amply for the purpose, and to render any
additional " guarantee" superfluous, if not useless.
In a Note of the 18th of June the Cabinet of
Berlin declared that it cntld not content itself with
the simple reference to existing laws and vague
assurances of benev(Lnce and goodwill, which in-
deed were not &Med that the Danish Government
would exhibit to its future subjects. " If," says
this Note, " the King of Prussi L were divosed to
grant, the wish of a return to Denmark which might
wishes
be manifested by the subjects of Northern Schles-
winigt,hotshe provinces
the
adrewnanottsoof of
lesshisimportance.
German
abandon them, in spite of themselves, to a Power
foreign to the German communes, whoml this cession
would deprive of their national rights, and to deliver
them over to dangers which are openly enough ma-
nifested among them when they think of the past—
that is not what is required of Prussia by the
Treaty of Prague. By Article sof that Treaty,
the Royal Government has precisely attested
that it desires to the utmost possible limit to take
into consideration the wishes of the population.

THE STATE VISIT TO THE OPERA.

The state visit to the Opera on Monday next in
honour of his Majesty the Sultan will be an occa-
sion of peculiar interest.
The following is an outline of the arrangements
for the occasion

His Royal highness the Prince of Wales,
attended by his suite, and by the Lord Chamber-
lain and the various officers of her Majesty's house-
hold, and accompanied by his Royal Highness the
Duke of Cambridge, his Serene Highness Prince
Edward of Saxe-Weimar, his Highness Prince
Teck, and other members of the Royal family, will
arrive at the Covent Garden entrance at the
Floral-hall at a quarter-past 8 o'clock, being re-
ceived by a Guard of Honour. Immediately on the
arrival of his Royal Highness the Guards' band sta-
tioned in the hall will play the National Anthem.

At half-past 8 his Majesty the Sultan, attended
by his suite, consisting of about 40 persons, and by
his Excellency the Turkish Ambassador, all in full
uniform, will be received by his Royal Highness
the Prince of Wales.

On the arrival of the Sultan the band will per-
form the Imperial Turkish National March.
Immediately after the reception, the procession
will be formed and proceed through the Floral-
hall, ascending the staircase at the east end, and
passing through the crush-room of the Opera-house
to the Royal box. The Royal box will be placed in
the centre of the house, the crush-room forming its
ante-room,—an arrangment similar to the one fol-
lowed when her Majesty, with the late Prince Con-
sort, accompanied by the Emperor Napoleon and
the Empress, visited the Royal Italian Opera,
Covent Garden, in State in the year 1855.
The Floral Hall, which will form a magnificent
salle de reception, is to be superbly decorated and a
profusion of flowers and plants displayed. The side
aisles and the galleries will be set apart for visitors,
the procession of the Royal party, with their suites
and the officers of her Majesty's household, proceed-
ing along the centre of the hall.
When the Royal visitors have taken their seats
the National Anthem will be performed on the stage,
after which the opera will commence.

The opera selected for the occasion is Auber's
illasaniello. At the conclusion of the performance
" God save the Queen" will be played by the or-
chestra, as the Prince and Sultan rise to depart.

The Royal party will leave the building by tho
Floral Hall, the military band repeating the National
Anthem, and continuing to play while the procession
passes along the hall to the entrance in Covent
Garden, where the carriages are to take up.

DESERTING A PAMILY.—SINGULAR ARTIFICE TO CATCH
AN OFFENDER.—Patrick Daly, an Irish labourer, was
brought before Mr. Paget charged with deserting his three
children, and leaving them chargeable to the Stepney

Union.
Mr. Drew, ono of the relieving officers of the Union,
said that the prisoner came to the workhouse with his
three children for relief last December, and said he was a
widower. The prisoner and his children were relieved.
The prisoner afterwards absconded, and the union had
supported his family.
Walton, an officer of the court, No. 285 K, had recourse
to a singular expedient to arrest the prisoner, who knew
there was a warrant against him. He had on many occa-
sions given much trouble to Smith, 415 K, an officer of the
court, who held the warrant. Smith had chased the
prisoner over the tiles and tops of houses, and lost him re-
peatedly. Last night Walton disguised himself in a ragged
coat, feigned drunkenness, and went into a court in Rat-
cliff, where the prisoner lives, and which is solely inha-
bited by Irish. Walton tumbled about the court, and was
kicked and cuffed by the Irish, and called all manner of
names. At last he quietly rolled along the ground, and
full upon his face, to all appearance dead drunk, near the
door of the prisoner's dwelling. At a late hour, and after
the constable had been lying on the cold ground two hours,
an Irishman came out of the house, reconnoitred, and wont
to the end of the court, and whistled. The prisoner
answered to the' signal, and came softly down the

court with his shoes iL his handl. " There's nobody
hero but that drunken beggar, and he's fast asleep,"
said the prisoner's countryman. The prisoner had just
reached the ground when the constable Walton sprung
to his feet, and saized him, exclaiming, "You are my
prisoner." The prisoner was thunderstruck, and said
"Don't hurt me, Mr. Smith, and l'll go with you quietly."
Ile did so, and was soon locked up. Ho mistook Walton
for Smith.

Tho prisoner said ho left the workhouse in search for

work.

Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoner to one month's impri
sonment and hard labour.

TIIE PROPOSED COUNTY RATE FOR THE CITY.

Mr. R. N. P 'muPs presented a petition of in-
habitants and ratepayers of the City of London,
agreed to at a public meeting held at Salter's Hotel,
Holborn-bridge, against the proposal to levy a
county rate, and praying that the court will procure,
if necessary, such an alteration in the law as shall
effectually protect the citizens of London from the
imposition of such a rate.
The petition was referred to the Local Govern-
ment and Taxation Committee, and the court ad-
journed.

SATISFACTORY LETTER.

5, Wood-street, Millbank, Westminster,
October 5, 1867.
Somr, months back I had an attack of Bronchitis,
which left at times a tickling in the Throat, with other un-
pleasant feelings. I was advised to try the BALSAM or
ANISEED ; I did so, and have found very great relief ; it is
most comforting in allaying the irritation, and giving
strength to the voice.
You are at liberty to mike use of this as you think proper,
and I earnestly hope that others may benefit by it as I have
done. With many thanks from your obedient servant,

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Dec. 5.

In the Commission Court yesterday an applica-
tion was made to have John Walsh, a prisoner who
is charged with firing at a Crown witness in Black—
rock, admitted to bail, as the Crown had sent up no
bill of indictment against him to the grand jury. An
affidavit was made by the Crown solicitor to the
effect that the Crown could not proceed in the ab-
sence of a material witness, John Devany, who is in
London, giving evidence in the prosecution against
" Colonel" Burke. The Court held that the Crown
had made a case to bring the facts within the ex-
ception to the Habeas Corpus Act, and refused the
application.
Four men who were lately found by the police in
a publichousein Marlborough-street, armed With re-
volvers, and one of whom expressed regret that the
promptitude of the constable who arrested him had
prevented him from using his, pleaded guilty to
au indictment for having arms in a proclaimed dis-
trict, and were sentenced to 12 months' imprison-
ment.

A case of garotting occurred at the suburb of
Rathgar on Sunday evening. A lady, who had just
left an omnibns and was proceeding home, was set
upon within sight of her own house by a man who
nearly choked her, and robbed her of all the money
she bad. A labourer named Hogan was arrested,
whom she believed to be the highwayman. He has
been remanded for further examination.

The recent murder of Mr. Waters, a respectable
fAriner near Bally inalion, in the county of Longford,
has excited deep sympathy in the locality. A sub-
scription list for a reward fund has been opened by
the Farmers' Club, of which he was a member, to
ail the Government in its efforts to discover the
murderer. Tae shirt and coat of (fuin, the man
wh) was arrestel on suspicion, have been found by
the police concealed in Lis house.

IADVERTISEMENT.I—IioIIoway's Ointment and Pills.--
With autumn come many discuses of the skin which de-
mand instant attention if the patient wish to be spared
much annoyance through the winter. These remedies
will be found most effective in repressing erysipelas and
inflammations generally, and in healing up sore legs,
wounds, and ulcerations in the kindest manner, without
exciting pain or tending to weaken the -patient, which
would infallibly increase his sufferings and retard his cure.
Holloway's pills should be taken during this course of
treatment, which they will make easier and more success-
ful at the same time. They will improve the appetite, and
materially aid digestion, a matter of the most material im-
portance when lowering infi•mities afflict the weak, deli-
cate, or aged.

THE RIVER PLATE.

In reply to Mr. MAGUIRE,
Lord STANLEY said he could give no aproximation of
the time when hostilities in the River Plate would cease.
THE STREETS REGULATIONS ACT.
The SPEAKER reported that the House of Peers
had made certain amendments to the Streets Regulation
Amendment Act The amendment was with respect to
tho regulation for lamps on hackney cabs being left to the
discretion of the Home Secretary.
On motion being put/that the house agree to the Lords'
amendments,
Mr. AYRLgON rose and condemned the conduct of the
Government in passing the bill in the first instance in the
hurried manner in which they did, and complained that the
Government hadyielded to combinations out of doors, after it
refused to listen to any arguments of hon. members of the
house. Such legis:ation brought bath the Howe and the
Government into coutemp*. It was not until 50,000 cos-
termongers were in excitement that the Government
began to give attention to their statements,
l the same thin.. had taken place on the part of the cab-
proprietors and givers. The bill was one of the most
ridiculous enactments, which was saying a great deal, in
the statute-book.
Mr. HARDY denied that ho had done anything of the
kind imputed to him by the lion. member for the Tower
Hamlets. With respect to the costermongers, he had
seen bat one clergyman, and he thought three or four
other persons, and DOT hillg could have been more
respectable than the conduct of those persons. The
application of the Act to costermongers was altogether
a mistake, as it was never intended to affect
that class in the manner it did. With respect to the
hackney cabs, it had been represented to him that it
would be very arbitrary in its action, and that g,-eat ob-
jection was raised by that body to the power given to the
Commissioaers of Police by the bill, and on a representa-
tion being made to him, he said he would try to procure some
amendment of the bill, leaving the regulation as to lamps
to be carried on hackney cabs to the Secretary of State
instead of the police. - if the bill passed without that
amendment he at once refused to suspend any of its ope
ratione.

THE ALTON MURDER.

_s..-~

WINCHESTER, Dec. 6.
The trial of Frederick Baker WAS resumed this
morning in the Crown Court, before Mr. Justice
Mellor, and in the presence of a densely crowded
court.

The same counsel were present, and the prisoner
was placed in the dock at half-past nine. He up_
peared even more self-possessed than yesterday,
and occasionally, scanned the court with a smile on
his countenance.

Ann Marratt was called and cross-examined. She
spoke to.seeing the prisoner on the day in qu!stion
near the hv gardea a little before three auU betweLn
five and six o'clock.

Frederick French, a clerk in the office of :Messrs.
Cle-neut3, deposed that the prisoner loft the office
on that •lay at ten minutes past one and re:urucd
at fen minutes to six.

Dr. .I'nylor F.,t, del the result of his analyz,is of
the artiam of apt art worn by the prisoner on
au) (6y of the mar ler. 11e faun I spots of blaJ
on the coat, on the troy:4(.4's, and on the vest ;
also Wool ott one of the roc':et knives. Tim
thighs of the trousers, too, were gteatiy stained
by bloody water. lle detected, however, an ex-
tremely small quantity of blood, anti in crcks-
examination said it was possible that the stains
found on the coat might have been produced by
bleeding at the nose.
Dr. Leslie deposed to the state in which he found
the remains of the child, and this closed the case for
the prosecution.

Tlie case was not concluded when we went to press.
