THE PRINCESS DAGMNR.—The birthday of the
Queen of Denmark has just been celebrated at the Castle of
Christiansborg, Copenhagen. The festival derived addi-
tional importance from its being also a farewell party to
the Princess Dagmar previous to her departure for Russia.
Amongst the guests were the Ministers, the corps diplo-
matique, and many high civil and military functionaries,
all the officers of the garrison, and the naval and civic offi-
cers, besides a largo number of the inhabitants of Copen-
hagen and others invited to this royal family gathering.
About ten o'clock their Majesties the King and Queen and
the royal family entered the splendidly decorated halls,
mixing and conversing with the guests, after which dancing
commenced with some specially arranged dances in honour
of the Queen and the princess. Supper was served at half-
past one, in the Hall of Knights.
AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATIL—Last night Mr. W.
Payne, the City coroner, held an inquest at the Greyhound
Tavern, Milton-street, Cripplegate, on the body of a. cab-
man, named William Green, aged 57 years. The deceased
resided in Cripplegate, and on Monday morning last, at
half-past six o'clock, the deceased went down stairs to got
some water from the butt in the yard; after about an hour
his wife called down stairs to him, but received no answer.
She sent her daughter down stairs when she saw her father
lying in the passage in his shirt. She called and shook
him, but could not get any answer. Assistance was imme-
diately called in, when the deceased was found to be quite
dead. The doctor's evidence showed that the deceased
had been in a violent fit, had a large rupture, and that he
had died from apoplexy. The jury returned a verdict to
that effect.

, -
Witness—l almost implored him to stray.. He said "No,"
and told the little boy to dress himself. He went on to
remark that they were both going into the country—a
long way off.- He told the child when he was going away
to shake hands with his aunt, as he weal(' never see her
again. There was some food in the cupboard, and I told
the boy to take some of it,' but the child said he was not
hungry. The prisoner, however, took two •of the
cold potatoes and put them in his pocket, saying that he
might want them on the road. When my wife was re-
monstrating with him about taking the child away, he told
her to mind her own business. There not being a light in
the room he wont out, and shortly after he returned
with a candle and matches. Prisoner cut the candle
in two, and told the little boy to put his hand in his
pocket and take some paper out. The child did as it was
directed, and the candle being wrapped in paper the pri-
soner put it into his pocket, and having taken some lucifer
matches out of the box that he had brought in with him
he threw the box containing the remainder on the floor.
They then went away.

Mr. Vaughan— Did you see the dead body of the child
in the dead-house the next morning ?
Witness—No, sir, my sister did. I have not seen the
child since he loft.

Mr. Vaughan—Have you ever hoard the prisoner use
any expressions about the child ? _

Witness—About a fortnight before he came to our house
I heard him say that he did not believe the child was his.
Mr. Vaughan—Do you recollect what led to that ?
_ Witness—We were having some conversation about his
wife.

Mr. Vaughan—Was he irritated when he said that?
Witness—He appeared as if he had been drinking.
Mr. Vaughan—You never heard objections of that kind
before, have you ?

Witness—l havo heard him say that the child should
not be a trouble to any one much longer.
Mr. Vaughan—When would be about the time when
you heard that ?

Witness—l cannot say, but I should say it would be
within a period of two or three months.
Mr. Vaughan—ls there anything else that you wish to
add to your evidence ?
Witness—No, sir.

Mr. Vaughan to prisoner —Do you wish to ask the wit-
ness any questions ?

Prisoner—Yes ; one or two. Addressing the witness—
Did I not assign a reasonn, for leaving your room ?
Witness —No.

•Prisoner—Didn't I say that the bugs bit so sharp that I
was compelled to get up ?
In answer to further questions from the prisoner,
th• witness said—l believe you are given to
swearing whou you have Wen drinking. I have
never placed particular constructions on your language.
You may haVe said that you considered yourself justified
i❑ living with another woman as your wife was living
with another man, but I did not take any particular notice
of what you said further than that the child should not be
a trouble to any one long. I have seen you illuse the
child once very much. Formerly you appeared to be very
fond of the boy, but latterly you seemed to have altered
altogether towards it.

Prisoner—Did I ever use anything but my hand to
correct the child ?

Witaess—No, never, that I saw.

Prisoner—Did your wife ever have to take care of the
child ?

Witness —Yes ; when she did you paid me 3s. a week for
doing so.

Prisoner—Did you ever see me take any unbecoming
liberties with the child ?
Witness—No, never.

Prisoner—Did your children ever complain to you that
I had taken any liberties with them ?
Witness—No.

Prisoner —Did my child ever make complaints to you
that I had acted cruelly towards him ?
Witness—No.

Prisoner—Did not my child seem as ready to come to me
as yours did to you ?

Witness—l can't say that. Your child did not seem
eager to go to you.

Prisoner—l've nothing more to ask you.
Mary Collett said—l reside at 15, Great Earl-street, and
on the morning of the 30th of July I had occasion to go
into the collar of that house to get some water at about a
quarter-past six in the morning. I then saw the body of
a boy hanging. I immediately ran up stairs and told my
mother and father, and shortly after that the police con-
stable arrived. The body was hanging in the same state
when the policeman cams as it was when I first saw it in
the morning.

Mr. Vaughan—Do you wish to ask this witness any
questions ? •
Prisoner—No ; none.

Mr. Vaughan —ls the outside door of the house left open
at night?

Witness—Sometimes it is left open, but I cannot say
positively whether it was open or shut on the Sunday night,
but I believe it was open.

Mr. Vaughan—Then, if the outside door was open, any
one could go clown stairs from the street into the cellar.

Witness—Yes, sir.

Mr. Vaughan—Have you ever seen the prisoner, at the
bar, before ?

Witness—No, sir.
31r, Vaughan—Then he did not live in the house.

Witness—No, sir.
Agnes Ingram—l reside at 16, Pleydell-street, Fleet-
street. I know the prisoner at the bar for about 9 months.
He lodged in our house for about three weeks before the
murder. He left on the Wednesda3i.before the 30th of
July. I have washed two shirts and a pocket-handkerchief
for the prisoner. The handkerchief that I speak of was
similar in colour and pattern to the piece now before me
[The portion of the handkerchief here referred to was that
found tied round the hands of the murdered boy.] The
last time I washed the handkerchief was about a week be-
fore ho went away. I never saw his son, but the prisoner
has told me ho had a little boy, and he wanted to bring it
to our house to stop for a day.

Mr. Vaughan—ls there dnything peculiar with respect
to the handkerchief ?

Witness—When I washed the handkerchief I noticed
that it was hemmed with black silk, and I was going to
ask the prisoner whether he hemmed it himself. I see the
piece of handkerchief now in my band is hemmed with
black silk, and it is in all respects similar to that I have
mentioned.

Dr. Harvey, recalled. He said—When I first saw the
body of the boy ho had been dead about ono to two hours.
The body was warm, but the limbs were stiff.
Richard Holden—l reside at 15, Great White Lion-
street, Seven Dials, and am a tailor. I have known the
prisoner at the bar for a long time. On ono occasion the
prisoner had been sleeping in my room, when ho got up in
the night, and on awaking I found him sharpening a knife.
I asked him what ho was going to do, and he said he was
going to cut the throat of his boy and grandmother. I
said to him, !‘ If you go out and a constable sees you with
that• knife, see how you would bo situated." Prisoner con-
sidered for a bit, and then took the knife out of his pocket
and returned it to the drawer from which he had taken it.
This took place when I lived at 26, Tower-street, and about
a week before last Christmas,

Mr. Vaughan.—Was he sober at the time ?
Witness.—Oh, yes; he was quite sober.
Prisoner. —Gave you neTer heard the boy say that ho
had two fathers ?

Witness.—Yes ; I recollect once hearing him say so.
Mr. Vaughan.—Did you tell the prisoner that the child
had said he had got another father ?

Witness.—Yes.

Prisonor.And didn't you say you thought thero was
something wrong ?
Witnoss.—Yes:
Prisoner.—Have you ever heard that my wife had had
a child by another person ?

I.lr, Vaughan—ldon't like to interfere, but I don't think

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.
MARLBORO UGH-S TREE T.
ALLEGED SYSTEMATIC SWlNDLlNG.—Frederick Barnes,
described as a hat manufacturer; of 52, Harley-road West,
was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt, on a warrant, by Thos
Rosokilly, one of the warrant Officers, charged with obtain-
ing by false and fraudulent pretences a quantity of mate-
rials for making hats, etc., of the value of £175, from Mrs.
Ann Long, a widow, residing at 83, Gower-street, Bedford-
square.
Mr. Sayer, from theoffice of Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great
Marlborough-street, appeared for the prosecution, and, in
opening the case, stated that there would be other charges
against the prisoner on a future occasion.
Mrs. Long said—ln the month of August last I had a
hat making business in Charles-street, Middlesex Hospital,
for sale. In consequence of an advertisement for the sale
of the business by tender, a man named Rowley called on
me and said he had a friend who wonld purchase the busi-
ness. The next day the prisoner came and looked at the
stock, and offered me £175. Besides the property included
in the tender I agreed to sell the prisoner a few things for
£lO 75., and the prisoner found the ready money fur
them. The prisoner said he was a hat manufacturer, in
John-streei, Clerkenwell, and that he had a first-
class business in Princes-street, Leicester-square. He said
some of the goods were too good for Clerkenwell but would
suit the West-end. He said ho had a country house, and
agreed to give £175 for the stock and business. On the
30th of August last the prisoner called and apologised for
not being able to pay ready money, in consequence of his
broker having disappointed him in the sale of some Metro-
politan Railway shares. He sq.id he would give him a draft
for £175, payable in seven days, if he would accept it,
and in the interim the prisoner would pay for tho shares. Ho
also said that his bankers were the Lundon and County
Bank, Shoreditch branch. He produced . a piece of paper
purporting to be the draft, with his acceptance across it,
and I signed it. He then wrote a receipt for the draft,
and I signed it. I waited 7 days, and_ then went to the
bank, and found the prisoner was not known there, and had
no account there ; " no account" being written at the bank
on the supposed draft. On calling at a shop in Clerken-
well, and seeing the prisoner and telling what had occurred
at the bank, ho appeared to be very much offended with
the persons at the bank, and said Ito would speak to some
of their customers about their conduct. He further said
that why they were offended with him was because he had
withdrawn his money from the bank at the time
of the panic. He promised to call on me the next
day, but did not do so, and on my son going
to Princes-street ho found no person of the name of Barnes
kept a hat shop in the street. I afterwards went to the
prisoner's shop in John-street, Clerkenwell, and found it
closed, the prisoner having left suddenly. I then applied
for the warrant.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—The priSoner will be remanded.

WESTMINSTER.

NATIVE SIMPLICITY.—A good-looking girl, apparently
about eighteen years of age, came to the court this morn-
ing, and, addressing Mr. Flowers, the presiding magistrate,
said, "I am afraid a man won't pay me for my child, and
I wish you would be good enough to make him."
Mr. Flowers.—ls he the father of it?
Applicant.-oh, yes ; of course he is.
Mr. Flowers.— Have you ever sworn the child to Lim ?
Applicant.—No. Must I ? .Can't you help me without?
Mr. Flowers.—No, I cannot. He is not bound in law to
maintain the child without an order is made upon him to
that effect. You must summons him, and then I can com-
pel him. Has he given you any money fur the child?
Applicant.—No ; I can't get to see him. I have done
all I could. I wont yesterday to his house with the child,
and saw his wife, and I offered her the child, and told her
she could do as she liked with it. Although it is his
child, he is not my husband.
Mr. Flowers.—That's the worst of it. There would be
very little difficulty if he were. You are single, I sup-
pose ?

Applicant.— Yes, I am, although I have a child. I
should be better off, of course, if 1 was married, but I ain't.
I don't know what lamto do with the. child. His wife
won't havo it, and won't let me see him.
Mr. Flowers.—There is nothing very extraordinary,
perhaps, in that. If you can produco the necessary corro-
borative evidence, you can have a summons.
Applicant brawled out that she could, and took the
summons.

who is about 50 years of ago, and has been in custody re-
peatedly for drunkenness, asaults, and outrages, was
brought before Mr. Partridge charged with violently
beating her husband last night.
Robert Robinson, a tall and hard working man, of No.
6, Mary-street, Limehouso, said he was a shipwright, and
the prisoner was, to his great misfortune, his wife, the
bane of his existence. She had heaped sorrow and trouble

Frederick Betts, landlord of the house in Mary-street

of the last two years. Last night she was either drunk or
mad. Sho threw pieces of lighted paper down the stairs,
and on the staircase, and threw newspapers on them
for the purpose of setting the house on fire. She struck
her husband with a candlestick, and threw him down stairs.

DEATH AT A FIRE.—A fire occurred at Stock-
port on Tuesday morning at which a man was
killed. The flames broke out in the.top storey of a rather
lofty building. They who discovered it thought they had
extinguished the fire. But it smouldered, and some hours
after broke out afresh, with increased violence. It spread
until the whole building was gutted. A man named New-
ton was sent to aid the members of the fire brigade, and
whilst in one of the rooms the roof fell in upon him and
southeletrisnu
others.
jlrieies that they waspickedlp dead, and the others sustained
had to be removed to the infirmary.
Their hurts were not very dangerous.

The lion. Gerald and Lady Louisa Dillon and
Mr. and Mrs. Biddle have arrived at Brown's Hotel.

Lieutenant-Colonel and Mrs. Gubbins have left
Farrance's Hotel for Paris, on their way to Malta.

ODEON.—What would have become of the French
playwrights had the Bishop of Llaudaff submitted
to ConvoCation Horace Walpole's proposition to
eliminate the " not" from the seventh portion of
our Decalogue ? ,Walpole suggested that.it would
have saved -a great deal of litigation and inconveni-
ence; but what would the playwrights have done
without their darling trim. con.? It is the founda-
tion of nearly every French play since the
" Mystere" was played on the Place du Parvis
Notre Dame, representing Joseph in Potiphac's
household. Adultery is the keystone of the French
dramatic arch, but it has rarely assumed so repul-
sive a form as in the " I.llaitre de lit Maison," which
the town is rushing to see at the Odeon. M. Du-
bourg is a banker, whose household consists of a
handsome wife and a handsome daughter—Mater
pulchra filia pulchrior—and a sallow, sedate sort of
IVerther-faced pianist, Lormier, who is, in fact,
the Maitre de la Maison, for Madame Dubourg
is his mistress, and has occupied that position
for twelve years. The banker is neither a Georges
Dandin nor a complacent husband, like Balzac's
Marneffe ; yet he has submitted patiently to this
humiliation for twelve years. He has seen this
long-haired musician, a very caricature of Listz
before he was churched, lolling listlessly with his
dirty boots upon the rich damas-de-soie sofas,
puffing cigars in the gilded salons, ordering about
the servants as though they were his, and forcing
Dubourg by his familiarities with his wife, to notice
that which all the world had known for these 12
long years. Dubourg is driven to explain this
enigma ; he confides to his friend Montgaillard that
he has borne his misery that no esclandre might
mar his child's marriage. He is a martyr, in fact,
to his parental affection. Well, his daughter is
married, and within a month after her marriage we
find the banker dining with the newly-married pair,
leaving his• Wife dining tete-a-tete at home with her
lover. And. yet we are bidden to believe the banker,
to be a man of high honour and spirit, because at
the last he is goaded to call out the co-respondent.
They fight at five paces ; Lormier is shot through
the heart, and Dubourg in the lungi. The pianiSt
dies his dirty death behind the scenes—the banker
shuffles off his mortal coil on the stage. Now we
submit this is not a fathful portraiture of human
nature. Nor is it even French nature, which is not
essentially identical. French husbands are some-
times very obliging. The Duc de boasted
that he was the best of husbands, as lie never en-
tered his wife's apartment without knocking at the
door, " lest he might cause an esclandre." Marneffe
is the type of this class, but they are creatures who
are below contempt. Pay them the wages of their
infamy and kick them out of the way. But Du-
bourg is represented as a gentleman and a man of
honour. Where is the Moor's noble nature ? There,
where he had garnered up his heart, would he keep
his home as a cistern for foul toads to knot and
gender in? You may hear the Turk at Stamboul
saying, a twister of ringlets passing by : " Oh my
soul, said a stick, would I could get at him." Had
Dubourg no horsewhip in his house? Had he no
blood in his veins ? No, he could have had neither,
or he could not have borne his degradation. He
permits his daughter to pass her life in an adulter-
ous home, permits this lanky musician to make it
his Agapemone. Faugh ! it is too foul a subject to
deal with. It is all untrue to nature, uncleanly and
immoral; yet with all these defects, which occur to
you over your cigar as you drive home, you have no
time to observe them during the performance, for it is
relieved with dramatic scenes of remarkable power.
Of these there aro many, but none so thrilling
with interest as the scene where the daughter refuses
to receive her mother's lover after her marriage. The
whole of this. scene is worked up with intense dra-
matic art; it is a chef d'muvre, and is admirably
played by Mlle. Periga and the ethereal little An-
tonine, who has thrown aside Nora Streeny's Con-
nemara cloak, abandoned Jean la Poste to make a
transpontine pilgrimage to the Odeon. This gentle,
almost transparent, being rises like a lioness in her
lair, and preaches morality to her erring mamma in
tones which would have touches the heart, had
there been one within that flinty bosom. But could
any mother, any wife, have so bestowed herself and
her affections before her husband and daughter,
could she have sullied the domestic hearth, had she
been aught but a deprived femme de marbre, un-
worthy the sacred name of woman. Our disgust
for the fianiste. must prevent us from doing justice
to Laroche's excellent impersonation of the role.
He is just the bilious, illmannered, illnatured, coarse
animal, whoin we constantly see petted by ladies in
their salons. • They always remind us of Titania
patting her braying lover, and squandering her love
upon a beast-. Tisserand looks more like a grocer
than a banker. He is evidently however in the
good graces of the claqueurs, but the public seemed
to think that he dealt out his dirty sentiments just
as a charcutier turns over his greasy wares upon
the counter. Yet for all this you should not omit
going to see the Maitre de la Maison.
VARIETES.—Tennyson has drawn a charming
picture of an Amazonian colony. But the Princess
rules only over maidens like .herself, whereas the
ladies in the " Royauine des Femmes" rule over the
lords of the creation. They change the whole order
of things. Ladies are permitted to pop the question
to hesitating admirers during leap-year, but in the
" Royaume" at the Varietes we are always supposed
to be timid, bashful, and coy. You know the sketch
iu the printshops " Si jeunesse savait," that is what
we are expected to be. The ladies make love to us,
and when we yield to their solicitations, for flesh is
weak, we fall into the male demi-monde, and are
henceforth excluded from respectable society. They
pop us into their harems, and carry us about in
triumph to races and theatres. All this is very droll
and laughable, and is rendered more so by the return
of that excellent comedienne Alphonsine, and Alice
Duval, and -Mlle. Silly's prodigal display of a form'
which may almost compare in symmetry with
that of her sister, Madame Delval, whose fair
proportions male inconstant Paris constant
to the " Biche aux Bois." There are some good
tableaux in the " Royaume." A supper in the
cabinet particulier, with the champagne chorus
of the convires; the race-course in the Bois de
Boulogne ; a hunting party, where all the ladies
seemed to have the cynegetic qualities of. Diana,
but seemed to be wanting In that vice which caused
so much unhappiness and eventual inconvenience to
Actaeon. "Le Royaume" will keep the town laugh-
ing until the return of Mlle. Schneider, but we shall
then lay an. embargo upon her again.

'THE SCOTCH IRON and COAL TRADES.—The
Glasgow Herald says :—"ln our iron trade there is con-
tinued evidence of improvement, and a tendency towards
the establishment of that confidence which existed prior
to the great iron 'rig.' The ironmasters, however, ap-
pear to be very wary, and the transactions on their
account with 'purchasers are at prices ranging from 2s. to
35., and even more, above the usual quotations. The
Stocks of pig iron in the market are still however heavy
eonsidering the great reduction in manufacture for so
many weeks past, which shows that the demand is not
strong. The effect is to cause producers to maintain that
caution they have exercised so long in keeping their
furnaces out of blast. It is estimated, so far as we can
learn, that the present production, with the stocks on
hand, is quite adequate to meet the consumption for a
long period, unless some unforeseen demand arises. The
Middlesborough iron takes precedence of our Scotch pig
in various markets on account of its price, but chiefly as
a mixture. This in some measure must affect the de-
mand for our home produce,, and keep down the con
sumption. In malleable iron there is a wide difference.
Our iron is invariably admitted to be stronger and more
durable, and therefore it commands a hisher "price ; but
even in this trade the demands at presefft are not large.
The works in our own neighbourhood and in the other
iron districts are being kept on from week to week,
although, as we are led to believe, the orders on the
books are only executed as they are forwarded. The
prospects, however, of an excellent demand for the
winter, with improved prices, is looked forward teas
certain. The high price of coal shows that the colliers
are maintaining their ground at the sale collieries at ss.
t
Per day. This rate is applicable only to these
collieries,
and they are, we understand, working very steadily,
with the usual restrictions as to idle days. On the other
hand, the majority of workmen at ironwork collieries
have, as a rule, is. per day less, unless they are disposed
to exert themselves and produce coal in proportion.
This is ono *of the grievances they complain of. The
miners at the' shale works are increasing rapidly ; the in-
ducement of even better wages than at the sale collieries
is the cause of this, and the additional works at present in
course of erection in the shale districts will absorb many
hundreds of more workmen' in the course of a few
months."

Betting-4 to 1 each agst Grand Cross and Moleskin, 9
to 2 agst Knight of the Garter, 5 to 1 agst Harpenden,
and 100 to 6 agst Arundel. The Promised Land colt was
the first to show in advance, but after going a few strides
he gave way, and Moleskin took up the running with a
slight lead of Knight of the Garter, Grand Cross, and
Tumbler, Knight Errant, Star of India, and Lochaber being
most prominent of the others, the rear being brought up
by Harpenden, who was joined by the Promised Land colt.
Little variation occurred until fairly in the straight, when
Grand Cross was passed by Knight Errant, Star of India,
and Lochaber, the three joining Moleskin and Knight of
the Garter after passing the distance. A hundred yards
from home the three placed drew away, Moleskin having
the best of a terrific struggle to the last stride, when Star
of India just got up and won by a head. Knight of the
Garter was beaten a similar distance only for second place
Half-a-dozen lengths off Lochaber was fourth, the Prelate
being close up with him. Knight Errant was sixth, Grand
Cross and Policy next. The beaten-off lot comprised
Tumbler, Harpenden, and the Promised Land colt.

Sophie, being the first to show in advance, followed by
Skylark and Gardevisure, the most prominent of the re-
mainder being Musician and Miss Williams. Little altera-
