any public interest.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day.

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)

Charles Milliken pleaded guilty to an indictment
charging him with forging two cheques for £7O and
£45 with intent to defraud the Metropolitan and
Provincial Bank.

The Recorder sentenced him to six years' penal
servitude.

Montague Taylor was indicted with embezzling
several sums of money, the property of his em-
ployer, Mr. George Evans, hatband manufacturer,
Cannon-street.

The defendant bad formerly been in the employ
of the prosecutor, first as cutler, and afterwards as
clerk. Subsequently an alteration in his engage-
ment took place, and his remuneration for services
was arranged to depend entirely upon commission.
The alleged embezzlement having been discovered,
the prisoner was given into custody, charged with
the offence.

After the trial bad concluded, the Recorder told
the jury that enough hai not been proved against
the prisoner to constitute him to be a servant, or
clerk, within the meaning of the Act ; and as Mr.
Evans, the only person who could speak to the
terms of the engagement with the prisoner, was not
present, he directed an acquittal.
Mr. Collins, who appeared for the prosecution,
said under the circumstances he should postpone
proceeding with the other indictment against the
prisoner until next session, when Mr. Evans would
be present.
Bail was taken for the defendant's appearance
next session.

William Green, seaman, was indicted with steal-
ing a boat belonging to Mr. Lucy, a ship owner.
The prosecutor, on the arrival of his ship from
China after an absence of three years, found that
various parts cf the ship's fittings were missing and
also the mahogany jolly-boat. The prisoner denied
stealing the boat. The last time he saw it was
when it was being used for taking some of the crew
ashore.

The jury returned a verdict of not guilty.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant.)

Charles Lord was found guilty of abstracting let-
ters from one of the pillar letter-boxes in Islington
by means of a thin stick tipped with bird lime, and
was sentenced to four years' penal servitude.

POLICE INTELLIGESCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE " LORD CHIEF BARON" AND HIS PERSECO-
TORS.—W. E. Stanley, a decorator, Mercer-street,
Long-acre, was charged with damaging a show-
board, the property of Mr. Brooks, the Lord Chief
Baron of the " Judge and Jury Society."
Mr. L. Phillips, printer to Mr. Brooks, said that
about 12 o'clock the previous night he saw the pri-
soner in Leicester-square break the show-board, and
run away ; but he was stopped by a constable and
brought back.
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the witness said he
believed the prisoner was drunk.
Francis Attwood, 186 C, said that last night,
while standing in Leicester-square, he saw the pri-
soner and two others coming along Leicester•square,
and the prisoner, when he got to Mr. Brooks's,
pulled down a large board and threw it into the
street and ran away. He stopped the prisoner, and
Mr. Brooks gave him into custody for breaking the
board.

The prisoner said he was not the one who did it

Mr. Brooks said that for some time past he had
been much annoyed and persecuttd, he having had
during twelve months to come to that conk no fewer
than seven times to complain of similar conduct to
the prisoners. Why he was so much annoyed he
really could not tell, as he felt he did not deserve
it. It was the last year of his lease, and the treat-
ment he had been subject to would probably pre-
vent him renewing it again, as he believed there
was a conspiracy to drive him out of the place. He
wished publicly to thank the police for the assis-
tance they had at all times given him,
and especially last night. Some years ago it used
to be fashionable for persons to go, on the opening
nights, to Cremorne and commit all sorts of damage
for what they called "a lark," but now it was the
practice for fast young men to say, " Oh, let's go
and give the Old Baron a turn," and then to come
to his place and do all sorts of damage. Such con-
duct was a disastrous. loss to him "in another way.
Imagine in a theatre the play of Othello being per-
formed, and just as Desdemona was about being
smothered—(laughter)--the lessee being called out
to quell a disturbance, and the performance being
stopped, a scenes of confusion, and the visitors
afterwards demanding their money back. Such was
his position last night, several persons demanding
their money back.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he suspected the prisoner was
one of those fast young men who went about doing
all sorts of mischief and glorying in it. He would
order the prisoner to pay 20s. for the damage and a
fine of 20s. or a mouth.

The " Lord Chief Baron," in his usual dignified
style, thanked the magistrate and retired.

MARYLEBONE.

THE CHARGE OF ARSON IN KENTISH-TOWN—
COMMITTAL OF THE PRISONER.—Stephen Samuel
Wales, aged 46, late of No. 26, Prince of Iv ales-
road, Kentish-town, was brought up for final exa-
mination, charged with maliciously setting fire to
his house with intent to defraud the Western In-
surance Office of the sum of £950.

Mr. F. H. Lewis, barrister, instructed by Mr.
Sadler, of 28, Golden-square, prosecuted; and Mr.
Lewis, sen., of Ely-place, defended. Mr. Lewis
Barker, superintendent of the Western Office, and
Mr. Charles White, assessor to insurance offices,
were also in attendance.

The particulars of this case have already appeared,
from which it may be remembered that the prisoner
carried on business as a general clothier, dealer in
jewellery, fancy goods, and unredeemed pledges.
In November last he effected an insurance with the
Western office of £3OO on his household goods,
stock in trade for £6OO, and fixtures and utensils
for £5O. On the 22d of last January a fire took
place between 1 and 2 in the morning, and was
shortly afterwards put out. The directors of the
company haying a suspicion that the place was fired

gave the prisoner into custody. From time to time
very voluminous evidence was given for the prose-
cution.

The depositions were now read over, and prisoner
was fully committed for trial at the Central Crimi-
nal Court.

Mr. D'Eyncourt said he would take bail, the
prisoner in £l,OOO, and two sureties in £5OO each.
Notice to be given.

THAMES.

INDOLENT PAUPERS.—WiIIiam Burgess and
Ilenry Wilson, ablebodied fellows, were brought
before Mr. PagA, charged with refusing to execute
the task of work assigned to them in the workhouse
of St. George-in-the-East.

William Thomas, labour master, said the prisoners
were admitted to the casual ward last night, and were
provided with a supper, bed, and a breakfast this
morning. They were required to pick 2lbs. of
oakum iu return for the entertainment afforded
them. At 9 o'clock they had not picked any of the
oakum, and upon expostulating with them, they
said they would see him - first before they
would pick an ounce of oakum. Wilson began
to smoke his pipe and said he did not come
there to work. The prisoners were admitted as
casuals on several occasions, and were incorrigible
paupers.

The prisoners treated the charge with the most
perfect indifference. Mr. Paget asked Burgess
what he was, to which he replied "Nothing." The
same question was put to Wilson, who said that ho
had been a layer-on.
Mr. Paget—A layer-on of what ?
Wilson—Of sheets in a printing-office.
Mr. Paget—How long is it since you did any
work?
Wilson—Six months.

Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoners each to a
month's imprisonment in the House of Correction,
and said they would have to work hard enough in
prison.

TEA.—Business has remained very quiet, operations on
the part of the trade having been delayed until to-day,
when a large quantity of Indian growth will bo offered for
competition. China descriptions have been neglected.
SUGAR. —There has been an absence of demand, and but
little business has been transacted in the private market,
at about previous rates. Refined goads are, in most in-
stances, a shade cheaper.
C OFFEE.—AIair amount of business has been transacted
in plantation Ceylon, and late rates have been well main-
tained. The stocks on hand compared with those of the
corresponding period last year show a decrease of 2,200
tons.

RICE. —A moderate inquiry has prevailed for cleaned de-
scriptions, but the enhanced rates demanded by holders has
somewhat checked business.

HE: dr.—Russian qualities have been in more demand,
and prices generally are well sustained.

TALLOW.—The market has been very quiet during the
past week, and but little business done; prices, how-
ever, remain without alteration. From St. Petersburg the
latest quotations are 471 silver roubles with hand-money
for August delivery, the Exchange 31d. 11-16. The
foreign houses still hold off, and the business hitherto
done for oxport is very limited, not one-fourth of what is
usual at this season. To-day our market is steady, 42s Gd
is offered for March, April, and June, and 43s 6d October
to December, on the spot, 42s 6d or 42s 9d is the price for
new Y.C., and 42s 61.f0r old town tallow, and 42s 6a net

SYBIL'S SECOND. LOVE. By Julia Kavanagh,
author of " Nathalie," &c. 3 vols.—Miss Kavanagh's now
novel is a cleYer, interesting, and eminently readable book.
There are a great many characters brought upon the stage,
but the interest is cleverly concentrated on Sybil and her
doings from the very first, and it is well kept up until the
eventful second love. Miss Kavanagh's plot is intricate
and well worked out, with evident care, and an attention to
details that shows the true artist. Uncle Edward, Sirs.
Marsh, and Miss Glyn are excellently-drawn characters,
whose acquaintance we can recommend the reader to make
as early as possible.—Globe.
ARCHBISHOPS CULLEN.—At the conclusion of the
proceedingi in the House of Commons last evening Mr.
Newdegate took the opportunity (there being only ten
members in the house) of reverting to the subject on
which he had put a question to the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer in the early part of the evening. The right bon.
gentleman had, in reply to this question, suggested that
there was a precedent for the manner in which Archbishop
Cullen had been treated on the annals of the house in the
case of Cardinal Wiseman, who had been called before a
Mortmain Committee, where he appeared in his robes as
a cardinal. Ho had gone through the minutes of that
committee, and ho found that Dr. Wiseman was sum-
moned before that committee as Dr. Wiseman, and not ce
Cardinal Wiseman.

THE ASSASSIN OF THE DUKE OF PAR3IA.--'
The aide-de-camp of the late Duke of Parma was
actually accompanying the Duke down the main street
at the time when the fatal blow was struck. He said the
people were all coming out from the church, and the
assassin, who wore a large cloak thrown round his
shoulders, so as partially to shield his features, mixed
with the throng and pushed up against tho Duke, striking
him swiftly in the lower part of the body with a long
knife, which he secreted under his cloak. The Duke fell
back into the young officer's arms, exclaiming, "I am assas-
sinated " The murderer darted into the church, holding
his cloak over his back, and extending his two arms at full
length, till he seemed like a gigantic bat flying from the
daylight. Ho was nearly taken at the doors by a soldier,
who caught him by the cloak, but the miscreant suddenly
dropped his garment, which caused the soldier to fall, and
in another moment the man had mixed with the crowd and
effected his escape. It was affirmed he was arrested twins
afterwards, but was each time released by order of Count
Pallavicini, at that time Minister, though this was pro-
bably but an idle rumour.—Reminiscences of an English
Cadet in the Austrian Service, in the " Cornhill Magazine" far
March.

WAITING FOR THE REFORM DEBATE.—Again in
the " small hours" of yesterday morning, between
1110-and 200 persons had congregated in Palace-yard, some
with members' orders, and some without. At six o'clock,
when the doors of Westminster Hall were opened, a tre-
mendous rush was made, and one of the policemen on duty
suffered some severe injuries from the squeezing to Whichhe was subjected, and had no means of extricating himself.,*
On the present occasion, before admission into St. Ste-
phen's Hall, every order was carefully examined, and the
holders passed in seriatim-101 having genuine orders (tll°
gallery only holding 70), and a vast number without sal
orders at all, many resorting to various devices to ()Will
admission.
PARIS EXHIBITION.—His Royal highness
the
Prince of Wales, as chairman of the British Cow'
mission, has forwarded to the Society for the Fropegetioll
of the Gospel, a liberal donation towards the fund for
erecting (on the site granted by the Prefect de la Seine'
close to the Paris Exhibition buildings) a temporary
church for the use of English and American visitors to
Paris in 1867.

COIITMEROTAI (NTELLIGENCE.

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Continued quietude prevailed in the discount
market, as there is no extinction of enterprise, com-
mercial and financial. It will be of interest to
notice how the resources of the investing public will
be employed. It is to be hoped that extended com-
merce, internally and externally, will be the princi-
pal means of bringing the Money Market into legi-
timate and active play.
Specie to the amount of £32,000 has arrived by
the Malta from New York.
Alr. Charles Oppenheim, in consequence of the
report issued by the liquidators, has thought it de-
sirable to call a meeting of some of the large depo-
sitors, at 65, Lombard-street, on Thursday, the 28th
inst., at 12 o'clock.
A report has been issued by the Imperial Land
Company of Marseilles, which enters fully into the
nature of the properties acquired and the works in
progress. It also contains a special report of
the auditors, who have visited Marseilles for
that purpose, giving details of the prospects
of various estates, and concludes with the following:
After a careful review and consideration of the
whole of the circumstances connected with this cora-
l:l4°Y, we cannot withhold the expression of our
°pinion that it is only by the active co-operation of
the shareholders that the directors will be enabled
to carry out to a successful and profitable conclusion
the large works comprised in these arrangements.
Indeed the financial requirements of the company,
and its character and position in France, depend
entirely upon such assistance and co-operation.
We feel it our duty to convey to the shareholders
emphatically our views on this point, because in the
absence of :this co-operation and assistance the
Whole undertaking must collapse, and every shilling
of the capital invested be lost, to say nothing of the
future liabilities of shareholders. Whereas, on the
other hand, there appear to us to be in the under-
taking the elements of success and profit."
The liquidators of Overend, Gurney, and Co.,
Tarquand and Mr. R. P. Harding, have
issued a report upon the winding up of the affairs.
.r
i 8 stated that the liabilities, which at the date of
the Suspension amounted to £18,T27,915, are now
reduced to £3,640,655 ; and it is anticipated that
,
"WY will be further reduced to £1,892,881, and that
the Outstanding assets will produce £1,832,011.
Owing to rumours lately current of negotiations
being in progress for liquidation of the Greek debts
of 1824 and 1825, the committee of Greek bond-
holders think it right to state, for the information
of the parties interested, that nothing of a strictly
°facial character has yet reached them on the sub-
ject. As soon as a proposal of a definite nature
Shall be officially made, the committee will consider
it their duty to call a meeting of the bondholders to
take the same into consideration.
