trusted that what had been done would prove bene-
ficial to the country. On both sides of the House
every possible attention had been given to the sub-
ject, and be could honestly say that in no previous
session of Parliament bad there been a more sincere
desire to do justice to all classes of the community.
(Cheers.)
Colonel PANE also expressed his thanks for the
kind and and flattering manner in which the toast
had been received, and the satisfaction which he and
his colleagues felt in paying these annual visits to
their constituents. (Cheers.) A great deal had
been said about the last Session of Parliament. lle
would only say that during the Session his regular
habits had been greatly disturbed by the Reform
Bill, for, instead of being able to go to bed at 10
o'clock and rise at 8 the next morning, he. had fre-
quently been obliged to sit up until 3. (Laughter
and cheers) All this had been caused by that tre-
mendous Reform Bill which it was said would do
much good to the country ; but as Lord Derby had
said , " it was a leap in the dark," and no one could
reallysay what would be the result. The bill had
been most ably carried through by the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, who had received most valuable
assistance from his right hon. friend (Mr. Henley).
The success of the measure was greatly owing to
what his right hon. friend had slid in the house, and

WESTMINSTER.

GROSS OUTRA GR.—M. Fitzinorres and E.Gellings,
two young women, were placed at the bar, charged
with committing the following outrage.
James Massingham, a very respectable-looking
middle-aged man, said, " Last night I was quietly
passing Hyde-park-corner when these women sud-
denly rushed upon me, and seizing my umbrella
tried to take it away from me, called me very bad
names, and pushed me about."
Mr. Arnold—Were they strangers to you ?
Prosecutor—Perfect strangers.
Mr. Arnold—Had you any conversation With
them before this occurred ?

Prosecutor—Not a word had passed between us.
After what I have described one of them took off
her shawl and flecked it in my eyes, and that it
hurt them. I said I would give them in charge,
when they got into a cab and laid -down in the
bottom of it, but I found a policeman and gave
them in charge.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 251. Isc. per £1 sterling.
)n comparing these rated with the English Mint price of
Z toted. per ounce for standard gold, it appe,vs that
-mil is about I- oth per cent. dearer in Paris than in Lon-
don.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills
at 60 days'
sight is about 1091 per cent. At this rate there

FARM PROSPECTS.—Thousands of acres have
been sown with wheat this autumn, and hendreds of acres
have felt the unaccustomed pressure of the iron roller ; so
great has been the lack of moisture that fears have been
entertained that some of the grain would scarcely germi-
nate, or if it did just " spear," the tiny radicle would hardly
secure a sufficiency of nourishment to keep it going in the
dry seedbed. So great has been the want of wet that even
some masters of hounds have talked of not hunting till we
get more rain ; and one noted pack, Mr. Serutton's, has
struck work, till the Essex clays shall have absorbed mois-
ture enough to secero the hounds' feet and the horses'
legs from danger from the hard ground, Although agri-
cultural horses have not found their work quite so tough
and leathery as it frequently is iu autumn ; and although
the clover layers have ploughed up short and brittle, in
lieu of the tough unyielding furrow we have seen in a
wetter season, still the extra breadth of wheat has thrown
more than the customary amount of autumnal work upon
their shoulders, and the result is now showing itself pretty
plainly in, or rather on, the ribs and quarters of the team.
Keep horses as you will, they must be treated generously
from harvest to Christmas, or you will assuredly find them
unable to do their work satisfactorily; at no other period
have they such continuously severe labour, and it is mani-
festly very poor policy to let your horses "get down," for
not only will the ploughman be compelled to shirk the
work from sheer inability to plough the land well, and
sound, and deep, but added to this, if horses aro ever suf-
fered to get into poor condition, they are then liable to be
seized with colds, coughs (of a severe type sometimes) in-:
flueuza, and epidemic. Any veterinary surgeon will tell
us that in the event of disease overtaking an animal, it
has a far worse chance of shaking off its malady if it
should unfortunately altaekbim rim low in flesh.—

CASUALTIES 4.T ISEA.

Mr. Henry Jeula, hon. sec. to the Statistical Committee
of Lloyd's, has comprised a series of statistics relating to
shipping casualties. They enable comparisons to be
drawn between the years 1864, 1866, and the first half
year of 1867. It appears that the increase in casualties at
sea more than keeps pace with the increase of shipping.
While ships have increased 34'5 per cent., the casualties
have been augmented 52'27 per cent. The average of total
losses from collisions on the coasts of the United Kingdom
during the last ten years was 463. The number in 1866
was 562—an excess of 21'38 per cent. Of collisions result-
ing in partial losses there was a preponderance in 1866 of
3114 per cent. So far the percentage of casualties for
1867 has been greater than for 1866. Mr. Jcula's figures
necessarily disclose only partially the causes of marine
disasters. One, however, which he believes exercises a very
serious influence, is capable of being shown in figures.
It seems that for several years the number of men em-
ployed in shipping and the proportion of men to tonnage
has been gradually declining. In 1850 the average
number of men per sailing vessel in the home trade was
4'36 ; in 1866 it was 3.31 There were then 5'78 men for
every 100 tons ; there are now 4.60. Our steam shipping
carried 8.29 men per 100 tons in 1850; and in 1866 only
6'12. It is suggested that with more hands a better look-
out would probably be kept, and the number of collision"
lessened

- In commenting on the figures Mr. Jeula says :—" The
enormous increase in the casualties reported during 1866
proves, I fear, with unhappy conclusiveness (even allowing
for 1864 being a favourable and 1866 an unfavourable year)
that our progress as a people in endeavouring to eliminate
unnecessary danger and suffering from other branches of
commercial enterprise of even the most perilous descrip-
tions, has not extended itself in a proportionate degree to
our mercantile marine."

THE LATE FALL OF A VIADUCT.—Mr. T. Wooll-
conibe, chairman of the South Devon Railway, sends the
following statement to the Western Morning News con-
cerning the rumours as to the fall of a viaduct in Wales:—
" The account which appeared in the papers of the fall of
Hencadiain Viaduct on the Vale of Neath Railway was
entirely fabulous. The viaduct was in process of being
done away with by having a bank tipped under and about
it to carry the line. It is situated at the foot of a steep
gradient, down which the trains frequently run away.
On the occasion of the accident a train was running at a
great speed down this bank when, it is supposed owing to
a broken axle, a waggon in the middle of the train jumped
off the line, and the remainder of the train heaped up
over it, knocking away the parapet of the viaduct and
cutting through the planking. The traffic consequently
had to be worked on one line for a day or two, and it was
found best after the wreck was cleared away to take up
the remainder of the planking and lay a road on the new
tank. The report of the giving way of the viaduct
oriOuated from this incident."

POLITICS AT GUILDFORD.

The annual dinner of the Guildford Agricultural
Association took place on Tuesday at the White
Hart Hotel, under the presidency of Mr. Henry
Currie. Amongst the guests were Mr. C. Buxton,
M.P., and Mr. G. Oilslow, M.P.
Mr. ONSLOW, in returning thanks for the borough
members, after a slight reference to local matters,
said that he had always been a strong advocate for
the abolition of the malt duty, and he believed the
time would come when it would be repealed. There
was, however, but one statesman to whom they
could look for this boon, and that was to Mr.
Gladstone. (Cheers.) In the exhibition which had
been held that day they had seen fat and lean ani-
mals, and as he walked through the show he was
forcibly reminded of the men who were looking
out for a nibble at the Government cake, while
the prominent members of the poultry tribe
recalled many public men who were strutting
about in other people's clothes. (Laughter.) The
liberal beast had fattened upon the Government
cake, and till very recently the Conservatives had
got lean on the Opposition pastures. The Liberal
harvest had been gathered in, but he was sorry that
the ingathering had been effected by Tory reapers.
(Laughter.) Referring to the Abyssinian expedi-
tion, Mr. Onslow said that he could see no cause
for that war. The ruler of Abyssinia was little
better than a nigger chief, and if proper means bad
been exerted our countrymen would not have been
held in captivity. There was not an Englishman
who would not spend his last shilling in defence of
his country, but there was no necessity for carrying
our arms into the haunts of the savage to maintain
a prestige which was already sufficiently established.
(Cheers.)
Mr. BUXTON, M.P., who was heartily cheered on
rising, responded to the toast of " The County
Members." Ile said,—lt is more than one can ex-
pect nowadays for any one to say a good word for
the House of Commons, for of late (as servants say),
" we don't seem to have given satisfaction," so we
are soon to be sent about our business, with not, I
fear, at all a first-rate character. (Hear, hear, and
a laugh.) The party to which I belong is said to
have been in a very moody, discontented state
this autumn. We are told that we have got what
we were always crying for, and now we have not
a word of thanks fur those who gave it to us,
and do nothing but grumble and groan. (Hear.)

RUSSIA.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 11.
The Emperor has sanctioned the proposal of the
War Minister for the construction of breech-loaders
for the Russian army. Both the Government and

STUTTGART, Dec. 11 (Evening).
In the Chamber of Deputies to-day the debate
came on upon the subject of the diplomatic repre-
sentation of Wurtemburg abroad.

Baron von Varnbuler spoke upon the policy of
Wurtemburg. The Minister declared himself
strongly opposed to the entrance of the country into
the North German Confederation. Such a measure
would entail an increased yearly expenditure
of five million thalers. The railways and postal
system would pass into other hands. The Govern-
ment had done its utmost in acceding to the treaty
of alliance, and had fulfilled its national duty.
The Ministry would adapt its policy to circum-
stances.

The Chamber then voted the suppression of the
post of Minister of Wurtemburg at Florence.

NAVAL APPOINTMENTS.

The following appointments were made at the Admiralty
,his afternoon :

E XTRA ORDINARY CHARGE OF FRAUD.--Samuel
Hare, an elderly man, was charged with fraud
under very extraordinary circumstances.
. Mr. Smyth, solicitor for the prosecution, stated
the case—On the 15th of July, 1866, the prisoner
was engaged by Mr. W. Drake, of Chapel-street,
Westminster, boot and shoe maker, as an assistant,
and it was part of his business to sell goods in the
shop. There were stated prices for everything
amongst them, 9s. for Blucher boots, and 9s. for
lace-up's. The fraud complained of was that the
prisoner exceeded these prices and pocketed the
excess. The effect of this fraud was most injurious
to both employer and customer.
Mr. Arnold—lie did not then pay the extra
money to your client ?
Mr. Smythe—No, he did not; he kept it himself.
Mr. Arnold—lf he accounted for it it would only
be extra zeal. lt.is a very extraordinary case.
Mr. Smyth--I feel that it is.
_ _ _

llr. Arnold—lt would not be an embezzlement,
because he did not receive this extra money by
virtue of his employment. Do you know of any
precedent?
Mr. Smyth—l do not.
Mr. Drake said he had had 50 complaints of over
charge of this description. His business had fallen
off very much through it.
Mr. Ball proved buying a pair of boots of the
prisoner about the end of last month for 9s. 6d.

Prisoner said that that was quite correct. He
had often charged more than Os. for the boots, but
that was not for the same class of goods as Mr.
Drake had spoken of ; it was for misfits or boots
made to order which had never been fetched.
Mr. Drake denied that such was the case.
Another witness was called, who deposed to_buy-
ing a pair of boots at prosecutor's for Os. 6d.
Prisoner said that he had accounted for all the
money he received.
Mr. Drake declared most positively that he had
not.

Prosecutor's books were produced, but there was
no entry what the sums were for.
Thomas Cottingham, foreman to Mr. Drake's
father, 257, NV hitechapel-road, bootmakers, gave
prisoner a good character. lie also said that if the
booth were large sized (10's) the price was extra.
Prosecutor said that in the two cases now brought
forward the sizes were 6 and 8.
Mr. Arnold said the case was one full of difficulty,
and remanded prisoner for a week on his own
recognisances.

LLANTRISSANT AND TAFF VALE JUNCTION.

A special meeting of this company has been held
at Cardiff ; Mr. J. Poole in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN explained that the object of the
meeting was to ecnfirtr, or otherwise, an agree-
ment entered into with the Taff Vale Railway
Company for a lease of the line for 35 years, instead
of ten years as previously agreed upon. Interest at
the rate of 5 per cent. per annum would be paid by
the Taff Vale Company on the capital expended
during the term of the lease.
A resolution approving the lease for 35 years was
unanimously agreed to.

POLITICS AT GUILDFORD.

The annual dinner of the Guildford Agricultural
Association took place on Tuesday at the White
Hart Hotel, under the presidency of Mr. Henry
Currie. Amongst the guests were Mr. C. Buxton,
M.P., and Mr. G. Onslow, M.P.
Mr. ONSLOW, in returning thanks for the borough
members, after a slight reference to local matters,
said that he had always been a strong advocate for
the abolition of the malt duty, and he believed the
tima would come when it would be repealed. There
was, however, but one statesman to whom they
could look for this boon, and that was to Mr.
Gladstone. (Cheers.) In the exhibition which had
been held that day they had seen fat and lean ani-
mals, and as be walked through the show he was
forcibly reminded of the men who were looking
out for a nibble at the Government cake, while
the prominent members of the poultry tribe
recalled many public men who were strutting
about in other people's clothes. (Laughter.) The
liberal beast bad fattened upon the Government
cake, and till very recently the Conservatives had
got lean on the Opposition pastures. The Liberal
harvest had been gathered in, but he was sorry that
the ingathering had been effected by Tory reapers.
(Laughter.) Referring to the Abyssinian expedi-
tion, Mr. Onslow said that he could see no cause
for that war. The ruler of Abyssinia was little
better than a nigger chief, and if proper means had
been exerte our countrymen would not have beer.
hold in captivity. There was not an Englishman
who would not spend his last shilling in defence of
his country, but there was no necessity for carrying
our arms into the haunts of the savage to maintain
a prestige which was already sufficiently established.
(Cheers.)
Mr. BUXTON, M.P., who was heartily cheered on
rising, responded to the toast of " The County
Members." He said,--It is more than one can ex-
pect nowadays for any one to say a good word for
the House of Commons, for of late (as servants say),
" we don't seem to have given satisfaction," so we
are soon to be sent about our business, with not, I
fear, at all a first-rate character. (Hear, hear, and
a laugh.) The party to which I belong is said to
have been in a very moody, discontented state
this autumn. We are told that we have got what
we were always crying for, and now we have not
a word of thanks for those who gave it to us,
and do nothing but grumble and roan. (Hear.)

CASUALTIES AT AEA,

%fr. Henry jeula, hon. sec. to the Statistical CoMmittee
of Lloyd's, has comprised a series of statistics relating to
shipping casualties. They enable comparisons
.to be
clran n between the years 1864, 1866, and the first half
year of 1867. It appears that the increase in casualties at
sea

more than keeps pace with the increase of shipping.
While ships have increased 34'5 per cent., the casualties
have been augmented 52'27 per cent. The average of total
losses from collisions on the coasts of the United Kingdom
during the last ten years was 463. The number in 1885
was 562—an excess of 21'38 per cent. Of collisions result.
ing in partial losses there was a preponderance in 1866 of
31'14 per cent. So far the percentage of casualties for
1867 has been greater than for 1866. Mr. Jeula's figures
necessarily disclose only partially the causes of marine
disasters. One, however, which ho believes exercises a very
serious influence, is capable of being shown in figures.
It seems that for several years the number of men em-
ployed in shipping and the proportion of men to tonnage
has been gradually declining. In 1850 the average
number of men per sailing vessel in the home trade was
4.36 ; in 1866 it was 3'34. There were then 5'78 men for
every 100 tons ; there are now 4-60. Our steam shipping
carried 8/9 men per 100 tons in 1850, and in 1866 only
6'12. It is suggested that with more hands a better look.
out would probably be kept, and the number of collision '
lessened, .

In commenting on the figures Mr. Jeula says :—" The
enormous increase in the casualties reported during 1866
proves, I fear, with unhappy conclusiveness (even allowing
for 1864 being a favourable and 1866 an unfavourable year)
that our progress as a people in endeavouring to eliminate
unnecessary danger and suffering from other branches of
commercial enterprise of even the most perilous descrip-
tions, has not extended ibeelf in a proportionato degree to
our mercantile marine."

THE LATE FALL OF A VIADUCT.—Mr. T. Wooll-
- chairman of the South Devon Railway, sends the
following statement to the Western Horning News con-
cerning the rumours as to the fall of a viaduct in Wales:—
" The account which appeared in the papers of the fall of
liencadiam Viaduct on the Vale of Neath Railway was
entirely fabulous. The viaduct was in process of being
done away with by having a bank tipped under and about
it to carry the line. It is situated at the foot of a steep
gradient, down which the trains frequently run away.
On the occasion of the accident a train was running at a
great speed down this bank when, it is supposed owing to
a broken axle, a waggon in the middle of the train jumped
off the line, and the remainder of the train heaped up
over it, knocking away the parapet of the viaduct and
cutting through the planking. The traffic consequently
had to be worked on one line for a day or two, and it was
found best after the wreck was cleared away to take up
the remainder of the planking and lay a road on the new
bank. The report of the giving way of the viaduct
originated from this accident,'',

ITALY.

FLORENCE, Dec. 11 (Evening).
The Chamber of Deputies continued to-day the
debate on the foreign policy of the Governnient.
Signor Massari censured the conduct of the late
Government, and defended the policy of Baron
Ricasoli on the Roman question. He held the
Radical party accountable for the blood which had
been shed. It was impossible to obtain Rome by
such means. Rome belonged to Italy, and will come
to Ita'y when Italy is strong in liberty and public
virtue. He rejoiced at the accession of General
Menabrea to office, as it strengthened the authority
of Government, which had been too much
weakened.

Signor Crispi, replying to the personal allusions
of Signor Massari, denied that the Rattazzi Cabinet
bad ever subsidised the volunteers. He declared
that Rattazzi did everything he could to prevent
the escape of Garibaldi and the entry of the volun-
teers into the Pontifical territory.
Signor Ferrari (of the Left) considered that
French intervention should have been resolutely
met by Italian intervention. The idea of going to
Rome with France was not only impossible and ab-
surd, but servile ; neither can the Government rea-
sonably speak of going to Rome supported by reli-
gion, considering the abolition of the convents and
of the Jesuits, the secularisation of ecclesiastical
property, and, generally, the anti-Catholic character
of the Italian national movement. The attitude of
Italy ought to be free from all ambiguity, free from
foolhardy daring as from puerile boasting.
Signor Ferrari advocated the withdrawal of Italy
from the September Convention, the suspension of
diplomatic relations with France, which should not
be resumed until the friendship of France could be
accepted without humiliation.
The debate will be resumed to-morrow.

LONDON, MONDAY, SEPT. 2, 1867.

The Emperor NAPOLEON has made another
speech. In passing through Amiens he was pre-
sented with an address by the Mayor of the town,
and in reply he entered rather more fully into some
public questions than he did upon previous
occasions. First of all he expressed on his own
part, and that of the EmPr.liss, his recognition of
the hearty and enthusiastic recqption which they
had met with everywhere in their journey
across France from Strasburg to Dunkirk.
from this the EMPEROR arrived at the
satisfactory conclusion that nothing can shake
the '' confi Imes" which the French people have
placed in hint for twenty years past. Referring to
the state of the political wc)rll, the Emr:.:non, said
that the nation had estimated at their " r•al value"
the difficulties which he had had to surmount. " The
ill-success of our policy across the ocean has not
diminished the prestige -of our arms, since every•
where the valour of our sildiers overcame all oppo-
sition." No doubt this passage in the Imperial
Speech will be look. .d upon in snu-_,. quarters as
rather an oniinoui indication ; but, after all, it
may be the bust thing that the EMPEROR
could have done. There is never any use in shutting
oar eyes to facts, and it hardly seemed suitable
that he shouU go on continually criticising the
policy of France at their chief cities without ever
touching upon a theme of such importance as the
