THE CITY OF BALTIMORE.

A writer in the Baltimore Commercial, indignant
at the city of monuments, of fountains, and of
beautiful women, being stigmatised as Mob Town,
enumerates how Baltimore led the way in the fol-
lowing improvements, " Baltimore was the first city
in the United States supplied with water ; the first
city lighted with gas ; the first city that had a
steamboat, and that used steam for milling and
sugar refining ; the first city that erected a monu-
ment in honour of the Father of his Country ; and
also, one in memory of her own brave defenders ;
the first city that ha.l public fountains ; the first city
that undertook a railroad--the grand Baltimore and-
Ohio ; the first city that hail a telegraph ; the first
city that established a Union Relief Associa-
tion, to give aid and comfort to our brave boys
during the late rebellion ; and we have the first
park in the country in point of beauty." And
now good morning—more perhaps again. That
it may not be said that this writer glorified
his city without provocation, we give the following
extract from his article :—" Indeed, so bitter and
malicious is this feeling with reference to Balti-
more, that a certain Rev. A. A. Miner, of Boston,
in a sermon delivered ou the occasion of the murder
of our beloved and lamented President Lincoln,
thus stigmatises our fair city : Unhappy city that
gave the assas,in birth !' (Phis don't happen to be
true, he was born twenty miles nearer to Boston.)
The bane of disorder, the nursery of rioters, the
shelterer of those murderers who shed the first Mas-
sachusetts blood in this great struggle, and now the
mother of the nation's patricide. Pity, oh, pity,
unhappy Baltimore !' "

General Schofield, in Virginia, has had to give
the Ricintond Thacs' warning to be inure careful about its
editorials; but generally speWiing the secession feeling, if
any remains, is not so offensively displayed as to demand
official interference.

We extract from the Round Table the follow-
ing items : —Mr. Charles 11. S weetser, who is pretty tho-
roughly acquainted with Minnesota and the North-West,
is preparing for publication in season for summer tourists
a guide-book for that region with full details of routes,
cost, stopping places, Svc.
Colonel J. S. Mosby loses no time in repudiat-
ing the wretched book, "Mosby and his Men," by Mr. J,
Marshall Crawford, which was recently spoke of in such
terms as was thought it deserved, and which the Warren-
ton (Va.) Index, by Colour-4 Mosby's request, says, "is un-
worthy of credit, and contains about as much truth as
The Arabian Nights Eatertaininents ' or Gulliver's
Travels," an expression which Colonel Mosby, in a letter
to the author, slightly modifies.

celebrity for ages, but the present display shows
great advance in this branch of industry. Visitors
should look at Class 18, devoted to carpets and
furniture. The articles are splendid and tasteful in
the extreme. England has long traded with
Turkey for such articles. France voluntarily de-
prived herself of the benefit to be derived from the
trade by the imposition of excessive duties. She
has " changed all that ;" and now, in con-
sequence of recent commercial treaties, the
duty upon such articles of Turkish produce
being reduced to 15 per cent. (that duty is, per-
haps, too high), there is a considerable sale of
Turkey carpets in France. They are remarkable
for originality of designs, and particularly for har-
mony and solidity of colour, and relatively low
price. Carpet-weaving now forms a large branch
of the industry of Turkey. At Smyrna and the
environs, at Koniah and most of the villages on the
banks of the Danube, it employs the greater portion
of the population. Many women earn good wages
at the work. Splendid materials of velvet texture
are manufactured at Constantinople. Beautiful
specimens•are to be seen in the saloon, and enter-
ing which is ornamented by a life-like bust of the
Sultan, the production of M. Garnier, a French
artist. There are four qualities or classes of
Turkey carpets. A great many from Smyrna
may be seen at the Exhibition. It appears that
carpets in Turkey are woven by means of wooden
machines, seemingly of rough and primitive con-
struction, but at all events they produce beautiful,
if not inimitable, specimens of this branch of indus-
try. Some of these machines, or at all events of a
similar description, are to be seen in the machine
gallery. Turkey has not yet arrived at the em-
ployment of steam machinery in this respect.
Turkey carpets are produced by hand loom weav-
ing. These carpets are peculiarly remarkable for
their fast colours, which are not to be effaced, it is
said, by the most powerful acids. Notwithstanding
the great advance of science in Europe, it is said
that both French and English manufacturers admit
that they have yet something to learn in this
respect.

There is a very agreeable change in the weather.
It has been warm, if not hot to-day, and there has
been very little rain. The Exhibition has been
crowded.

A German paper says that the international
Congress to discuss the best mode of curing ophthal-
mia, which was to have been held at Vienna, will
take place in Paris. It will open on the 12th of
August, and be immediately followed by the great
medical congress.

There has been another attempted assassination.
It took place at La Vilette. A carpenter, who has
lived some years with a woman, so illtreated her
that she lately left him. He discovered her new
residence, and, without a word of explanation, in-
flicted such serious injuries that she can hardly sur-
vive. On inflicting the wounds he said, " Now I
am revenged." He then went to the nearest station,
and, confessing the crime, gave himself up as
a prisoner.

IRISH POOR LAW.

In reply to Mr. REARDEN,
Lord NAAS said there was no intention of proposing
any alteration with respect to the out-door relief in the
poor-law in Ireland.
THE RATING FRANCHISE.

Mr. D. GRIFFITH asked the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer whether he was aware that in Ireland no property
not 'exceeding £4 in value was rated ; and that the roposed.
Parliamentary rating franchise could not devolve' on oc-
cupiers in that country at or below that amount ; and, if so,
whether he proposed to establish a lower Parliamentary
franchise in England than in Ireland ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
language of the question was not correct. It stated that
no property under £4 value is rated, but the fact was that
all property under £4 was rated. With respect to the
second part of his question, he thought it would be more
convenient if he would wait for information on that sub-
ject, when his noble friend the Secretary of Ireland
brought forward the Irish Reform Bill. For 33 years the
franchises of England and Ireland had not been identical.

THE MILITIA.

Mr. 0. STANLEY asked the Secretary of State for
War if his Royal flightless the Commander-in-Chief had
ever been consulted about the Bth clause in the Militia
Reserve Bill, and had given his sanction to it ; and, if
the late Secretary of State for War had handed the clause
over to the right hon. baronet, or approved it ?
Sir J. PAKINGTON said the clause had not been
sent to the Commander-in-Chief, who had not seen the
bill until it was in print. There was nothing new in the
clause, which was at present the law of the land. Militia-
men, as the law now stood, could be sentenced to service
in her Majesty's regular land forces.

EAST LONDON.

Mr. Hawes, the chairman of the company, has
addressed a circular letter to the proprietors, in-
forming them that the Crystal Palace and High
Level Junction Railway is not likely to receive the
necessary support unless the shareholders of the
East London Railway Company subscribe towards
it. The capital required is £153,000—i89,000 for
works and £64,000 for land—to be raised in 15,300
shares of £lO each. Mr. Hawes points out that one
share of £lO for every five of £2O in the Eist Lon-
don Company would insure the completion of the
line by the tine the East London will be ready to '
receive the traffic arising from it. It is stated that
a very large traffic from the east and north of the
metropolis to the Crystal Palace, and the populous
and daily improving districts of Dulwich, Norwood,
Syden ham, &c , would thus be secured ; and if from
any cause the full development of the traffic to be
derived from the authorised junctions with the
southern railway should be retarded, this short line
would give ability during that interval to maintain
an independent and advantageous position. Mr.
Hawes concludes by stating, " It is only my strong
conviction of the necessity of this line to our com-
pany, the smallness of the capita.' required to secure
to us the advantages it offers, the very special posi-
tion in which we stand in relation to the other com-
panies, and the regret I think we shall all feel should
it not be constructed that would have induced me
to press this subject upon your attention."

THE FORGED RUSSIAN ROUBLE NOTES.

Joseph Funkenstein was indicted with having
in his possession some forged Russian rouble notes
in his possession without lawful excuse.

The evidence was of a lengthy and uninteresting
nature, but it appeared that prisoner informed In-
spector Thompson that he had some forged Russian
ruble notes in his possession, and he was accord-
ingly cautioned not to part with them. Notwith-
standing that the notes were put into circulation
by the prisoner through the agency of other per-
sons.

The defence was that instead of doing that, as
had been attributed to him, he did precisely the
contrary, and that the forged note upon which the
prosecution was based was not one of the notes
shown by the prisoner to Inspector Thompson, be-
cause after the caution that he had received from
the police he destroyed the whole of the forged
notes by tearing them up. He strongly denied that
he had given them to one of the witnesses to dis-
pose of, telling him he would easily get rid of it, as
it was so good an imitation of the genuine notes of
the Imperial Bank of Russia that detection was im-
possible.

The jury returned a verdict of guilty.
Mr. Baron Bramwell told the prisoner he should
pass upon him the same sentence that had been
passed on the last prisoners convicted of the same
offence—viz., five years' penal servitude.

Death of Lord Justice Turner.

We regret to announce the death of Sir George
James Turner, the Senior Lord Justice of Appeal'
which occurred late last night. His illness was at
first supposed to be merely a severe cold, from which
he appeared, even last Saturday, to be rallying
but on Sunday he became considerably weaker, and
yesterday morning a fatal termination became lel'
minent.

THAMES.

DESERTING A FAMILY.—SINGULAR ARTIFICE TO CATCH
AN OFFENDER.—Patrick Daly, an Irish labourer, was
brought blore Mr. Paget charged with deserting his three
children, and leaving them chargeable to the Stepnoy
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 ho 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 tho warrant. Smith had chased the
prisoner over the tilos 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, whore 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 ho quietly rolled along the ground, and
fell 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,
au Irishman carne out of the house, reconnoitred, and went
to the end of the court, and whistled. The prisoner
answered to the signal, and came softly down the
court with his shoes in his hands. " There's nobody
here but that drunven 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 s3ized him, exclaiming, "You are my
prisoner." The prisoner was thunderstruck, and said
"Don't hurt me, Mr. Smith, and I'll go with you quietly."
Ho did so, and was soon locked up. He mistook Walton
for Smith.

The prisoner said he left the workhouse in search for
work.

Mr. Puget boatonced the prisoner to ono month'e hDpr
souraont and hard labour.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day.

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.)
THE TAILORS' STRIKE.

This morning it was understood that the indict-
ments against the persons charged with intimidation
arising out of the late Tailors' Strike would be pro-
ceeded with.

Mr. Sergeant Ballantine was for the prosecution,
and Mr. Coleridge for the defence.
An application was made on behalf of the de-
Lndants that the trial should be postponed until the
next session, on the ground that the learned counsel
had had the brief so recently delivered to them that
they were not fully acquainted with the facts of the
case.

➢ir. Sergeant Ballantine said he bad no objection
ti the postponement, provided the system of picket-
ing was given up by the defendants.
The counsel for the def,!ndant.refused to give the
desired undertaking, as it was contended that it was
not in opposition to the law.

Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said under such circum-
stances he should object to the postponement of the
trial.

It was, however, ultimately arranged that the
proposal of the learned Sergeant should be accepted,
and the trial was accordingly postponed until the
August session.

WESTMINSTER.

AN AWKWARD Tutcx.—William Drake, a respectable-
was placed at the bar, charged with steal-
looking youth,
ing a horse and chaise, cart, harness, and a couple of
great coats.
Mr. Thomas Wighton, of 23, itlarylebone-lane, butcher,
said that on his return, in a chaise cart, from Wimbledon
last evening, he stopped at Mr. Golding's, the Pier Hotel,
Choyne-walk, Chelsea. As he and his friend got out of
the cart, the prisoner, who stood by, said, " All right,"
and took charge of the horse z.nd trap. When prosecutor
came out in about ten minutes he found the horse and cart
and the prisoner gone. Ho got into a cab, accompanied
by Mr. Golding, and drove about to different places,
and at length found his horse and cart outside the Trevor
Arms, Knightsbridge. Ho waited for a few minutes, and
prisoner coming out of the tavern was given into custody.
Mr. Selfe—Were the coats safe ?
Prosecutor—Yes, they were all right. Prisoner said it
was not him but a friend that took charge of the horse and
cart. He waited with him a long while, and finding the
gentleman did not come out, thought they had better take
the horse and cart to Walton-street station for safety.
Inspector Horton—lt is very much out of the way where
prisoner was found.
Selfe—Did you expect to find the police station at
the Trevor.
Prisoner—We wont there to have something to drink,
and then we should have gone to the station.
Mr. Selfe said that he thought it the prisoner had intended
to Blake away with the horse and cart he would not have
been found where he was. There was no doubt he drove
away with it, but the question was whether he did it
with the intention of depriving the owner of it, and ho
did not think that under such circumstances any jury
would convict. Ho than discharged the prisoner with a
caution not to play such tricks for the future.

VIE NEW 11,11L1VAY BILL.

A very numerously attended meeting of railway shark).-
holders was held at the Loudon Tavern yesterday to
consider the bill which has passed through the
House of Commons. and is now before the 11Juso of
Lords regarding the stock of bankrupt railway companies.
Mr. Da LA HUNT, by whom the meeting was convened,
presided,' denounced it as one of the grossest acts of confisca-
tion that was ever brought before Parliament. He contended
that it was quite uncalled for, would benefit no class of
shareholders, leave railway stock at the mercy of
a lof harpies or wreckers, as they were
callepd,arce and ruin hundreds of thousands. Seve-
ral addresses were delivered, and all' the speakers
concurred in the imperative necessity of taking immediate
steps to prevent the bill, which they described as having
been strangled, passing into law until after more mature
consideration than it had yet received.
A resolution embodying these views was unanimously
adopted and to wait on Lord Derby.

Some persons are employed at Paris in collect-
ing the proclamations of Marshal Banine, in which he
exercised the most cruel severities towards the Republican
party, whilst it is intended to give a list of the persona
shot by the Imperialists.

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. Her 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 :
" Ilis 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-

sober, 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
Siecle), 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 M. 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 could not content itself with
the simple reference to existing laws and vague
assurances of benevolence and goodwill, which in-
deed were not denied that the Danish Government
would exhibit to its future subjects. " If," says
this Note, " the King of Prussia were disposed to
grant the wish of a return to Denmark which might
be manifested by the subjects of Northern Schles-
wig, the wishes and wants of his German subjects
in those provinces are not of less importance. To

THE TAILORS' STRIKE.

This morning it was understood that the indict-

arising out of the late Tailors' Strike would be pro-
ceeded with.

Mr. Sergeant Ballantine y for the prosecution,
and Mr. Coleridge for the defence.
An application was made on behalf of the de-
fendants that the trial should be pstponed until the
next session, on the ground that the learned counsel
had had the brief so recently delivered to them that
they were not fully acquainted with the facts of the

Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said he had no objection
to the postponement, provided the system of picket-
ing was given up by the defendants.
The counsel for the defendant refused to give the
desired undertaking-, as it was contended that it was
not in opposition to the law.
Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said under such circum-
stances he should object to the postponement of the
trial.

It was, however, ultimately arranged that the
proposal of the learned Sergeant should be accepted,
and the trial was accordingly postponed until the
August session.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—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 Dont, 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. Dent said—Last night, shortly after twelve o'clock,
I was standing on the steps of her Majesty's Theatre wait-
ing for my earthly, when the prisoner snatched my watch
from my waistcoat pocket, and thou ran away. I followed
him, calling "Stop thief," and ho wont 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 is 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—$e 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 hoard the cry of " Stop thief," and saw the pri-
soner running in front of the prosecutor and several others.
I stopped him Abd asked him what he was running for,
and he replied, " I do end h;
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—Tha prisoner will be remanded for a
week.
Gordon, 33 o—The prisoner is well known to the police.

TIIE FORGED RUSSIAN ROUBLE NOTES.

Joseph Funkenstein was indicted with having
in his possession some forged Russian rouble notes
in his possession without lawful excuse.
The evidence was of a lengthy and uninteresting
nature, but it appeared that prisoner informed In-
spector Thompson that he had some forged Russian
ruble notes in his possession, and he was accord-
ingly cautioned not to part with them. Notwith-
standing that the notes were put into circulation
by the prisoner through the agency of other per-
sons.

The defence was that instead of doing that, as
had been attributed to him, he did precisely the
contrary, and that the forged note upon which the
prosecution was based was not one of the notes
shown by the prisoner to Inspector Thompson, be-
cause after the caution that he had received from
the police he destroyed the whole of the forged
notes by tearing them up. lie strongly denied that
he had given them to one of the witnesses to dis-
pose of, telling him he would easily get rid of it, as
it was so good au imitation of the genuine notes of
the Imperial Bank of Russia that detection was im-
possible.
The jury returned a verdict of guilty.
Mr. Baron Bramwell told the prisoner he should
pass upon him the same sentence that had been
passed on the last prisoners convicted of the same
offence—viz., five years' penal servitude.

LONDON, WEDIVESDAY, JULY 10, 1867

The favourable anticipations that were formed o
the result of Monday's work were realised yester-

day, and a great point was gained, for the Chair-
man reported the bill to the House. This was
greeted with loud cheers from both sides, and the
Lon. members have, indeed, great cause for rejoic-

ing, since the task has been an arduous and anxious
one, and many times, when the most sanguine
thought success certain, new obstacles arose and
fresh difficulties occurred. The main thing to look
at is the end gained in a work of this sort, and hence
the Government may well regard the doings of yes-
terday with satisfaction ; but still, even at the
eleventh hour, there were not wanting would-be
marplots and intending schemers. Mr. GLADSTONE
was resolved to lose no opportunity for expressing
his discontent and putting in strong objections, and,
indeed, the bill would never have been reported
yesterday evening, nor at all this session, in
all probability, if the committee had not come
to the rescue, and shown very plainly
that they were getting tired of the vexatious
delays that were interposed. The consequence was
that many new clauses were withdrawn, and others
deferred, and the work was considerably lightened
thereby. No particular debate arose on any of the
propositions yesterday submitted to the House, but
a few attempts were made to alter the present
arrangements. Some amusement was created at
the commencement of the sitting by Mr. WHALLEY,
who asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he,
did not think it would be more likely that the
Ileforni question would be settled this year if he
postponel the RAistributiou Seheme until next
session, to which extraordinary question Mr.
DisRAELE returned a suitable reply, stating that he
was perfectly satisfied with the present prospect,
and had no wish to make any experiments of the
nature alluded to.
Mr. LOCKE'S clause was agreed to respecting the
demand of the rate. After some discussion had
taken place there seems no fault to find with its
provisions, and it Seems an advantage that this
troublesome matter should have been so far settled,
for it has given rise to a great deal of controversy
during the progress of the bill. In the course of
the remarks made on this topic lir. GLADSTONE
