A Danish gentleman, who has for years bought
a property and built a house near Olevano, where
he habitually resides, visited Romo a few days ago, Ho
describes his position as critical, the brigands having cap-
tured his next neighbour, and cut off his ears on account
of his inability to pay the ransom they demanded. Mr.
M-, the Dane, however, is a determined man, and well
provided with firearms to defend himself in his castle
wherein, moreover, ho has deposited 2501 b of gunpowder,
as he is resolved to blow up the house in case the brigands
should force their way in, rather than allow himself to be
taken.

MAY-DAY IN YonKsHlßE.—Last week the heat
was so intense in the North and East Ridings that
preparations for sheep clipping were common, and sonic
unfortunate animals were actually shorn. The weather
was only a foretaste of summer, and this week the cold
is extreme. On Monday the custom of May-day break-
ing of pastures was observed, but the cattle were so
starved they refused to graze, and in most cases they were
taken in at night, and are yet in their winter sleds. Grass
has run off surprisingly during the last few days of cold
east winds.

BOW-STREET.

AN UNGRATEFUL SERYANT. —R. Todd, in the employ of
Mr. Parnell, butcher, Bedford-street, Covent-garden, was
charged with stealing two pieces of mutton, the property
of his master.

Mr. Parnell stated that having suspected the prisoner he
watched him, and saw him take two pieces of meat from
the shopboard, and place them in a nosebag. Afterwards,
when going out with the horse and cart, he took the nose-
bag out with him. Witness stopped him and gave him
into custody. The value of the stolen meat was 3s. The
prisoner had been SOMA months in his service. His wages
were-10s. a week with board and lodging.
The prisoner pleaded guilty, and asked the magistrate
to deal with the case. He said ho took the meat to eat it
himself, being kept short of food.
Mr. Parnell said this defence added to the ingratitude
of the prisoner, whom lie had in the first instance em-
ployed out of charity. It was utterly untrue. Ife kept as
good a table as any i❑ the trade, and Letter than the ma-
jority. The :nen were wholly unrestricted in quantity,
and the cupboard was never locked.
Mr. Vaughan said he considered the prisoner's imputa-
tion against his master as a gross aggravation of the
offence, and should sentence him to six months' imprison-
ment and hard labour,

BOW-STREET.

AN UNGRATEFUL SERVANT. Todd, in the employ of
Mr. Parnell, butcher, Bedford-street, Covent-garden, was
charged with stealing two pieces of mutton, the property
of his master.

Mr. Parnell stated that having suspected the prisoner he
watched him, and saw him take two pieces of meat from
the shopboard, and place them in a nosebag. Afterwards,
when going out with the horse and cart, he took the nose-
bag out with him. Witness stopped him and gave him
into custody. The value of the stolen meat was 3s. The
prisoner had been some months in his service. His wages
were 10s. a week with board and lodging. . . .

The prisoner pleaded guilty, and asked the magistrate
to deal with the case. He said ho took the meat to cat it
himself, being kept short of food.
Mr. Parnell said this defence added to the ingratitude
of the prisoner, whom he had in the first instance em-
ployed out of charity. It was utterly untrue. He kept as
good a table as auy in the trade, and Letter than the ma-
jority. The =en were wholly unrestricted in quantity,
and the cupboard was never locked.
Mr. Vaughan said he considered the prisoner's imputa-
tion against his master as a gross aggravation of the
offence, and should sentence him to six months' imprison-
ment and hard labour,

ARRIVAL OF THE CUBA.
NEW YORK, May 7.

At Chicago the troubles arising out of the eight-
hour movement were subsiding, and work had been
resumed in a large number of establishments, in
some of which the employes are working on the old
ten-hour system,, with no change in the wages,
while in others they are working eight hours with

twenty per cent. reduction.
The strike at St. Louis and other places con-

tinued.

The greater part of the plantations south of
Memphis are overflooded, and the planters are in a

starving condition.

General Ord has directed the Governor of Ar-
kansas to notify to the Legislature of that State
not to reassemble.

Mr. Browning, the Secretary of the Interior, has

recovered.

Advices from San Francisco to the 7th May state
that the Victoria Colonist, under date of April 30,
editorially says that nine out of every ten men in
the colony, under their present state of wretched-
ness and poverty, would welcome annexation to the
United States. These remarks were called forth by
the rumour that England was about to sell her
North-Western possessions to America.

N EWMARKE T.

There has been a great number of amateur and profes-
sional horse watchers here during the week, but The Rake
has been their principal attraction. He has gone in bril-
liant form of late, and this morning, after having two
beautiful canters with Musician, was set to
join Sceur de Charite and Artesian in a mile
and three quarters, but unfortunately broke a
blood vessel at the finish, which annihilates all
his chance for the Derby. The townspeople are in a per-
fect state of consternation at the sad misfortune. The
Oaks filly moved freely. Lord Glasgow's Miss Sarah colt
did two miles; and Jennings sent Trocadero, Dragon, and
Montgoubert a good gallop. The Hermit galloped a little
over a mile. Pericles led Julius nearly two miles, but
very slowly ; and Sealskin pioneered Roquefort and
D'Estournel more than a mile and three-quarters. Jasper
was schooling llipl iu. Bounceaway was striding along
magnificently. Sir Oliver did very little.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

DAMAGING A TREE IN HYDE PARK—A BAD EXAMPLE.
—Harold Savage, a boy, and Henry Savage, his father,
were charged before Mr. Kuox, the former with damaging
a tree in Hyde Park, and the latter with being drunk and
disorderly in Oxford-street.

Police-constable Haylor, 747 A, said that yesterday
evening he was on duty near the Victoria-gate, Hyde
Park, when he saw the boy breaking some boughs off a
tree and placing them over his father, who was sitting
down and appealed to be drunk. He asked the boy what
he was doing, and he replied, " Only having a game." He
told the boy that he must take him into custody, when the
father so much interfered that he was obliged to got an-
other constable to keep him off. After taking the boy
to the station, and as he was leaving it the father followed
him into Oxford-street, and said, " You vagabond, you have
locked up my son." He told him to go away, and as he
would not and got a large crowd round him he was com-
pelled to lock him up.
Tho father said he had only left his work an hour and a
half, and therefore had not had time to get drunk.
Mr. Knox said he was of a different opinion.
Inspector Harrison said the father was drunk. The boy
had been locked up all night.
Mr. Knox—The boy has been locked up all night, and
if h© has done wrong there is more than an excuse, having
a drunken father. The boy will be discharged. As for
the other defendant he will have to pay 10s. or 7 days,
and I would advise him to koep himself sober, and not set
his son a bad example.
CAUTION TO OMNIBUS PROPRIETORS AND HORSE-
KEEPERS.—Joseph Eldridge, horsekeeper, in the employ
of Mr. Hughes, omnibus proprietor, appeared to answer
the complaint of the Royal Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, of causing a horse to be tortured by
sending it out while in an unfit state.
Peter Hayward, officer of the society, proved seeing a
brown horse attached to an omnibus, in Regent-circus, on
the 7th of May, and, on examining it, he found it to be in
a very poor and weak condition, lame, and diseased, and
totally unfit for work. On seeing the defendant, he ad-
mitted that he had sent the horse out to do two journeys•
Mr. Arthur Cherry, the Government veterinary surgeon,
proved seeing the horse on the Bth of May, and said it was
lame in both forelegs and both hind legs, and was
suffering from a disease called grease and from internal
disease. It was totally unfit for work, and it would tor-
ture it to work it in the state it was in. He thought it
right to state that he had ascertained that Mr. Hughes had,
since the complaint was made against him, had the horse
in question and another destroyed.
Mr. Knox, taking into consideration that the horse had
been destroyed, fined the defendant 10s. and costs.

ing formed mass of contiguous column, awaited the
arrival of General Scarlett, who at 11 o'clock rode
on to the ground, attended by the entire staff of the
division. After a most minute and searching in-
spection, the 11 regiments marched past the salut-
ing point in open column of grand divisions in quick
time in the following order : —Pioneers, bands, and
drums of the Ist Infantry- Brigade ; Major-Gen.
Benny, and staff of brigade; 56th (West Essex)
Regiment, Ist Royal Surrey, Hampshire Infantry
Militia, 2d Royal Surrey ; pioneers, bands, and
drums of the 3d Infantry Brigade; Brigadier-Gen.
Sir Alfred Horsford, K.C.8., and staff of brigade ;
70th (the Surrey) Regiment, Royal Berks Militia,
Oxford Militia, and 72d (the Duke of Albany's
Own) Highlanders; pioneers, bands, and drums of
2d Infantry Brigade; Major-Gen. Campbell, C. 8.,
and staff of brigade ; Ist battalion 18th (Royal
Irish) Regiment, 65th (2d North Riding) Regiment,
and the 44th (East Essex) Regiment. The regi-
ments next marched past from the reverse flank by
brigades at quarter-distance column, and again by
brigades in contiguous column also at quarter dis-
tance. The troops were then put through a number
of field movements, embracing the following :
Forming line, advancing, retiring by fours, chang-
ing front to the right and left, marching in echellon
by regiments and brigades, and finally forming
square and resisting cavalry. The movements were
skilfully executed, and the marching of some of the
Militia regiments would do no discredit to those of
the line. It was understood that yesterday's ma-
nceuvres were in anticipation of a Royal review to
be held next Tuesday.
Some interesting experiments were carried out at
Shoeburyness on Tuesday for the purpose of ascer-
taining whether it was possible to manufacture
armour-plates capable of resisting Palliser's shot.
For this purpose eight plates were manufactured by
Messrs. Brown and Co. and Messrs. Cammell and
Co., of Sheffield. Some of these plates were made
of wrought-iron faced with steel, others with alter-
nate layers of steel and iron, and a few with steel
in the form of a sandwich between the iron plates.
The exact thickness of each plate was seven
inches, and the gun from which the shot were
fired was also seven inches in bore. The results
may be summed up by saying that the shot ob-
tained a complete victory ; with reduced charges of
201 b. and 181 b. of powder the massive plates were
shot through and through, Masses of iron and shat-
tered beams being hurled about in all directions.
With the small charge of even 151 b. of powder, all
the plates, excepting two, were completely pene-
trated. The best plate appeared to be one of Messrs.
Cammell's, which had upon it a hard face 3f steel.
A number of distinguished visitors witnessed the
experiments, including Admiral Tegethoff, who
commanded the Austrian fleet at the battle of Lissa.

The following appointments were made yester-
day at the Admiralty :—Dover Ferrara, master, to
the Asia, additional, for service in the Ariadne ;
and W. Johnson, paymaster, to the Dauntless.
