POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

BO W-S TREE T.
THE CHARGE OE THEFT AGAINST A GENTLEMAN.—
James Hamilton Finney, the son of Major Finney, sur-
rendered to his bail to answer a charge preferred against
him of stealing a silver spoon, the property of Mr. Cooper,
the proprietor of the Albion Hotel, Russell-street, Covent-
garden.

It will be recollected from the report of the first exami-
nation, which appeared et length in The Sun, that the pri-
soner went into the Albion to dine, where, in conse-
quence of the large losses which had taken place of late,
the silver placed on each table was strictly watched.
The prisoner partook of some roast mutton, and when
the waiter was temoving the joint he missed one
of the spoons from off the table. He communicated
the fact to the head waiter, after which the prisoner's
father, Major Finney, entered the room, and remained
with his son for some time. On leaving the hotel the
prisoner was watched by the police, and after his father
had left him he was observed to go into the shop of Mr.
Wallis, the umbrella maker in the Strand, which shop he
left taking with him a walking-stick. The constable then
took the young man into custody, and when at the station
amongst a variety of miscellaneous property taken from
his pocket the missing silver spoon was found. The
prisoner was remanded so as to enable the police
to make inquiry with respect to other property found on
his person.

The police said that nothing further had been discovered
detrimental to the prisoners. With respect to the two
purses, one belonged to the prisoner's father, and the other
to his grandmother, both of whom had commissioned him
to make purchases for them.
Mr. Sleigh asked the magistrate to dispose of the case
without sending the prisoner before a jury.

_
Mr. Vaughan declined to do so.
The prisoner was then fully committed to the next
Middlesex sessions for trial, but he was again admitted to
bail in two sureties of £250 each.

vestment. To render this loan successful in America
nothing would be so likely to insure a prompt
negotiation as to make it free from taxation
upon the principal, as is the case with other
loans, and to keep the interest also free from the
income tax which is levied upon other interests re-
ceived from the Government. The Treasury could
well afford to give up the income tax on the five
per cent. loan, as there would be still a large margin
of reduction. For instance, the interest on
$830,000,000 of Seven-thirties is $6,059,000, which,
at five per cent. income tax, returns to the Govern-
ment $302,950 yearly ; but the annual saving en
the interest of Seven-thirties by replacing them
with a five per cent. loan would be nineteen mil-
lions and a half ; so with the six per cent. loans in
the same proportion. The Government would lose
a few hundred thousands by exempting the five per
cent. loans from income tax, but it would gain
millions. The offer of a United States loan free from
income tax would be an attractive novelty, and it
would call the attention of capitalists to the five per
cent. loan as a very beneficial and popular invest-
ment. In America the five per cent. loan would offer
a solid and undoubted security at par. That the
loan can be managed with success we have a full
guaranty in the manner in which the Five-twenties
were negociated in the midst of the war, and while
the issue was uncertain. The same tact in manage-
ment, the same means used to make the loan popu-
lar, will insure speedy and large subscriptions/ le
that the Secretary of the Treasury would be able
to report to Congress in December, 1868, that the
whole of the loans and compound interest notes
becoming due in 1867 and 1868 had been retired,
and that the public burdens had been reduced
by an immense saving on the national interest
account.

Prince Alfred in Edinburgh.

On Saturday his Royal Highness Prince Alfred
visited Edinburgh, in compliance with a request
which had been made that he should formally inau-
gurate the new Industrial Museum, the foundation
stone of which was laid by his father, the late Prince
Consort, only two months before his death. During
the stay of Prince Alfred in this city, while prose-
cuting his studies at the university, his frank and
open disposition gained for him the confidence and
respect of all his associates, and he became a great
favourite with all classes of the community. His
present visit to the city was deemed au appropriate
occasion for conferring public honours upon him,
and it was therefore resolved by the corporation to
present him with the freedom of the city, and by the
Senatus Academicus of the University to confer on
him the degree of LL.D.
Prince Alfred, attended by the lion. E. Yorke,
arrived in Edinburgh about a quarter past 7 on Sa-
turday morning by the limited mail train from Lon-
don, by the North-Western line. He was received
on the platform by the Lord Provost (Mr W. Cham-
bers, of Glenormiston, the well-known publisher),
and Professor Lyon Playfair. Carriages were in
waiting, and his Royal Highness was at once driven
to the Douglas Hotel, in St. Andrew's-square, where
he had breakfast. In the course of the forenoon the
Prince, accompanied by the Hon. Mr. Yorke, took
a walk through the city for an hour. He then re-
turned to the hotel, where he remained till shortly
before one o'clock, when he drove to the Lord
Provost's private residence in Chester-street in
the official carriage of Lord Belhaven, her Majesty's
Lord High Commissioner for Scotland. There
was a large party present to meet his Royal High-
ness, amongst whom were the magistrates of the
city, Lord President M‘Neill, Lord AT:hull:an, and
the Lord Advocate.

Shortly after two the party left his lordship's re-
sidence to proceed to the university, his royal high-
ness, who was dressed in Highland costume, taking
his seat in the state carriage of the Lord High Cons-
missioner—an open carriage, drawn by four horses,
and escorted by a troop of the 4th Hussars. The
route was by Princes-street and North and South
Bridges—the latter portion being lined by the
Hussars and the 72d Highlanders. The Prince was
enthusiastically cheered along the whole route, and
frequently bowed in acknowledgment of the cordial
greeting thus given him. At the university he was
received by a guard of honour of the 72d, and on
entering the gnadrangle by the University Volun-
teers—the band of the 4th. Hussars playing the
National Anthem. Upon alighting he was received
by Sir David Brewster, the Principal of the
University and the members of the Senatus Acade- j

WOOL.

The public sales of colonial wool held this week have
bean fairly attended. French houses have operated to a
fair extent ; but very little wool has changed hands on
German account. Compared with the close of last sales the
value of both Australian and Capo produce exhibit a do-
cline of 1 d and 21d per lb. Privately the trade is dull, and
English wool is lower to purchase. The imports into Lon-
don lag week coneieted of 16,251 bales from Iltelbpurne,

LONDON, MONDAY, MAY 21, 1866.

Theproposed Congress still occupies the attention
of all parties, and most numerous are the conjec-
tures to which it has given rise. The newspapers
of Saturday evening mention that preparations have
been made by Earl COWLEY, Baron BUDBERG, and
M. DROUYN DE L'HUYS to form a basis 'on which to
arrange matters between the disputing parties. As
yet nothing has been officially communicated to the
Courts of Berlin, Vienna, and Florence. It is men-
tioned by the Pattie that several fresh military mea-
sures have been adopted by Prussia, so that it is
naturally inferred in some quarters that she means
to commence operations in the Duchies, rely-
ing upon the neutrality of Hanover being
preserved. Very likely some such ruse is in
contemplation, for great efforts have lately been
made by Prussia to secure the neutrality of Han-
over, and, of course, some double intender existed.
Those who are deluded into the notion that the
Berlin Government will consent to waive the exe-
cution of their schemes until after the Congress has
been expressed will find themselves very much
mistaken. One naturally turns from the surmises
respecting the Congress to the consideration of the
plans 'which relate to the war now so imminent.
The treaty between Prussia and Italy is a very
Prominent feature of the affair, and, indeed,
since its formation matters have assumed a
far mom complicated form, and present
more
d Ulties in the way of adjustment.
Among the most
important points are found that it
is arranged, in
of Austria attacking either of
these Powers, that the other would consider such a
step as a causis belli, and would jointly act against
the aggressors, -while peace could not be made by
either side without the consent of the other. If, on
the contrary, the provocations of Prussia induce
Austria to declare war, Italy is to join the contest
as the
ally of Prussia. Besides this, these contract-
ingt
we
parties are not to make alliances
withi ef Italy,
a this
otherwhen
n
nations except by mutual consent. A
is very
easily to be understood on the part of
we consider the animus of her feelings to-
wards Austria ; but why should Prussia thus
comport herself towards her old ally? No
wonder that Austria appears unwilling to join the
Congress, when she can thus discern the antago-
nistic spirit which animates the chief party in the
discussion.

It is reported from Paris that Austria will not
agree to a Congress, and if this continues to be the
case we do not see how England, France, and
Vienna can with any propriety come forward in
the affair. If they do, the coneequencee be

G. GROVE, Hon. Sec.

" Astronomical observations have been made at
Tibneh, Ras el Ain, Kefr Saba, Csarea, Athlit,
Mukhalid, Bir Addis, Lydda, Ain Shems, Beit Jib-
rin, and Hebron. A reconnaissance sketch was
made of the route and a plan of the ruins of
Caesarea, and the course of Wady Surar was ex-
amined.

'‘ Archxology.—All the tombs we could find at
Tibneh were opened and visited. Many of the
' loculi' contained great numbers of bones, and one
a perfect female skeleton, which, however, crumbled
to pieces directly it was touched. Detailed plans
were made. At Abud a fragment of a Greek in-
scription was found, and near the village a number
of rock-hewn tombs, in one of which the sides were
painted ; the porticoes were ornamented in a style
somewhat similar to that of the. Tombs of Kings and
Judges at Jerusalem. A plan was made of a curious
old building near the village of Mezarah, and of the
castle and fountains at Ras el Ain. Kefr Saba has
been an old site, and near it we found portions of
the old Roman road. Kalansawa, Kakun, Burjel,
Atal, Arsuf, and other old ruins on the plain were
visited. At Caesarea were found portions of the
outer wall, the amphitheatre, a pool, and four aque-
ducts ; a plan was made of the Crusaders' church.
At Tantura men were quarrying stone for the Jaffa
market ; they had opened a great portion of the
mound, but found no remains of a temple or other
public building. At Hebron we were able to get
good photographs of the Haram masonry, and de-
tail drawings showing its character, which is iden-
tical with that of the Wailing Place masonry ; un-
fortunately, we arrived there the first day of Bairam

in Wady Aroob, but the source of the high-level one

PLIINDERING THE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAIL-
WAY COMPANY.—WiIIiam Beecher, a labourer, was placed
at the bar charged with being concerned with another in
plundering the works of the London, Chatham, and Dover
Railway Company.

William Hicks, 105 B, said that on Friday morning he
saw the prisoner and another labourer leaving the works
of the railway company at Victoria station. Both ap-
peared to have very heavy loads upon their shoulders in
sacks, and as prisoner shifted his load witness
distinctly heard the sound of iron. Witness
took the other man into custody, and he was remanded,
it being found that he had a quantity of the railway iron
in his possession, and upon subsequently searching a
marine store dealer's in the neighbourhood of Ebury-
square, a large quantity of similar metal removed for rail-
way improvements was found. It was obvious that great
plunder of the railway was going on, and prisoner who
was seen to go into the marine store with his load was
taken into custody on Saturday night.
He offered no answer to the charge and was remanded.

of the highest order, and from Individuals of undoubted re-
spectability, may

AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA.

In reply to Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIELA
Lord CLARENDON said that the noble lord was per-
fectly justified in bringing forward this subject at the pre-
sent time. He hoped that a conference would be held and

an amicable arrangement effected which would avert the
evils of war. He could assure their lordships that there
was every disposition on the part of the Government to
effect a pacific solution of the differences between the
powers in question.
SUNDAY TRADING BILL.

Lord REDESDALE moved the third reading of the

Selling and Hawking Goods on Sunday Bill, which had
• been given up by Lord Chelmsford on the amendment
restricting the operation of the act to between the hours
of ten and one o'clock.
Lord TAUNTON moved that the bill be read a third
time that day six months.
The Earl of HARROWBY suggested that its operation
should be confined to the metropolitan police district.
Lord RAVENS WORTH was of opinion that permissive
powers might be given to the local authorities to adopt
and put the act in force.
After some remarks from Lord Lifford, Lord Teynham,
Lord Stratford de Redeliffe, and tb.e Duke of Cleveland,
on a division the third retain was carried by a majority
of one, the numbers 50 to 49.
On the motion that the bill do pass, a discussion arose
with respect to the clause leaving the enforcement of the
act to the police, but it was eventually adjourned for a
fortnight.
In reply to the Earl of OA.RNARVON,

Earl GRANVILLE said that reports ordered by the
President of the Poor-law Board into the condition of the
metropolitan infirmaries would, when completed, be laid
before Parliament.

Earl FORTESCUE complained that the administration
of the poor law in the metropolis was not sufficiently
watched by the inspectors of the board.

On the motion of Earl RUSSELL, the house adjourned
until Monday, the 28th of May.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING.
The SrrArEa took the chair at 4 o'clock.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The London and South-Western Railway (additiona

Mr. M'LAEEN moved for a return respecting the seven
Parliamentary boroughs to which it was proposed to give
a third member, namely, Liverpool, Glasgow, Manchester,
Birmingham, Dublin, Leeds, and Edinburgh, showing, in
columns, the population of each according to the census of
1861, &c.; and the same information, under each head, for
the burghs of Dundee and Aberdeen.

INDIAN BRANCH.

The ordinary general meeting of the company
was ',held yesterday at the London Tavern ; the
Marquis of Tweeddale in the chair.
_ _

Major-General C. C. JOHNSTON E, the managing
director, read the report, an abstract of which has
appeared in The Sun.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, expressed his satisfaction at the present
state of the company. There had been great diffi-
culties to contend with in respect to the Nulhatee
line, and it still remained a source of anxiety to the
Board ; but, no doubt, that would be removed when
more rolling stock was placed on the line. It was
expected that the line from Lucknow to Cawnpore
would be opened during the present year for traffic.
Mr. W. DENT seconded the motion for the adop-
tion of the report.
Mr. G. SHEWARD thought the report was not
satisfactory, and was of opinion that there should be
a committee of the shareholders to consult with the
Board as to the future management of the company.
Several shareholders expressed their satisfaction
at the position of affairs as explained by the chair-
man, and the motion for the adoption of the report
was put and carried unanimously.
Upon the question of the re-election of Messrs.
Dent, Pender, and Tobin, the retiring.directors, a
long discussion ensued, it being suggested by Mr.
Sheward that it was not necessary to refill the three
vacancies. The three retiring directors were re-
elected unanimously.

Messrs. Coleman, Turquand, and Young were re-
elected as auditors. Mr. Maxwell was appointed to
act with that firm on behalf of the shareholders,
and the proceedings terminated.

PROVIDENCE ROWS NIGHT REFUGE,
FO
HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN,
14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.C.
Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the
destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the
nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches.
At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor
from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that
they are homeless and starving. Tho Manager, &c.,
receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand-
ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each
night numbers of young women, children, and orphans
are, for want accommodation, refusedadmittance, andhavo
to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To
meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda-
tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the
work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will I,e required.
Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it
is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur-
pose.will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families
in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and
accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give
shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really
starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome,
and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will
be offered in your behalf.
SUBSCRIPTIONS are earnestly requested, and will be
gratefully received by the Rev. D. GILBERT LLD., No. 22,
Finsbury-circus, E.C.
