AN OLD AREA SNEAK.

John Durkin, a well-iresed man, and Elizabeth Coley
were indicted for breaking and entering the dwelling-house
of Richard Ward, and stealing therefrom two gold brace-
lets and a variety of other articles of jewellry,the property
of Richard Ward.
The prisoner, it appeared, entered the house of the pro-
secutor by some means, supposed the area door, and pro-
ceeded upstairs and stole the property. As he was de-
scending the staircase he was met by the footman, and on
being questioned, he made a dash past him and attempted
to escape. A very exciting chase ensued, when the pri-
soner was captured with the jewellry in his possession.
The only evidence against the woman was, that she was
seen in the company of the man previous to the robbery.
On the direction of the judge, the jury acquitted Caley,
and Durkin having pleaded guilty, the judge asked whether
anything was known of him.
Lockerby said tho prisoner was first in prison in 1848,
since which time he had been in and out no less than
thirteen times. He had been repeatedly flogged, and on
one occasion he assaulted one of the officers of the county
prison, from which he escaped.
The learned Judge told the prisoner he was a most dan-
gerous person to let remain loose on society. He had re-
ceived various sentences varying from two days to two
years, and all to no avail, as the present was his fourteenth
appearance in a court of justice. He appeared to be one of
those persons denominated at ea sneaks,who, taking advan-
tage of .the temporary absence of tho servants, entered
houses, and carried off the first thing they could lay their
hands on. It was highly desirable that such robberies as
that to which ho pleaded guilty should be punished in a
severe manner, and therefore he should sentence him to 10
years' penal servitude.

LAMBOURNE.

We have had very unpleasant weather hero all the week;
and beyond Liddington leading Marksman and the Sun-
flower filly a good mile gallop daily nothing of immediate
import is doing. The two latter go to Doncaster. Watch_
box, Gong, and a few others are merely cautoring, and in-
dulged with occasional galloping; but the Primate, Beclzo-
hub, and the 4-yr-old Mcestissium filly are entire absentees.

WESTMINSTER.

OtE. OLD SYSTEM OF THIEVING REVIVED.—Edward
Wentworth, 29, Garoline-place, Chelsea, valet, was charged
with another not in custody, with stealing £1 12s. Gd. and
a coat, value £2 10s., the goods and monies of David
Griinwood.

It appeared from the evidence, that on last Tuesday
evening the prosecutor, who is coachman to Mr. Ellis of
Brompton Hall, met the prisoner whom he knew by sight,
and, the latter saluting him, they went to a tavern in
Knightsbridge where they were joined by a stranger from
the country, who appeared to be unknown to prisoner,
and said he had come into £1,500. They went to another
public-house where the countryman proposed they should
spend a pleasant evening, and prosecutor went on his
business and returned 'to them at half-past six. Thence
they proceeded to the Mitre in New-road, Chelsea, where
the prisoner proposed a game of bagatelle for £2.
To this prosecutor and the countryman assented. Pro-
secutor staked £1 12s. 6d., the prisoner offering to make
up £2, and the countryman staked £2. Prosecutor took
off his coat, andilaid it on a sofa, to begin the game, and
when the game was about to begin the prisoner requested
the prosecutor to step outside for a moment as ho wished
to speak to him. Prosecutor did so, and the prisoner said,
"We will do the old man out of his £2." They went back
to the room door ; prosecutor opened it, but found that
coat, money, and countryman were gone, and on turning
to' look for the prisoner he was gone too. Information was
given to the police, and the prisoner was apprehended by
Gunter, 310 B, to whom he made a desperate resistance.
He is well known to the police. Remanded for a week.

THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.

Last Monday Congress opened, and the PRESI-
DENT delivered his Message, of which a summary
has been received through the Atlantic Telegraph
cable. The summary informs us that Mr. JOHNSON
adheres to his former policy, and urges Congress to
adopt it. The Times alludes to this portion of
the report as a renewed adhesion of the PRE-
SIDENT to his own reconstruction scheme. The
PRESIDENT does not renew his adhesion, for
"my policy" has never been dropped by
him, and he has been consistent in his advocacy
throughout. It was natural for the PRESIDENT to
reiterate the sentiments he has held and now holds
so strongly. But it does not follow that he will not
give effect to the wishes of the nation, though he
may consider the majority of the American people
wrong in their determination. The elections which
t e decidedse the plan of Reconstruction could have no
effect whatever in changing the PRSIDENT'S Opi-

be little doubt of what his action will be. Presi-
dent JOHNSON, by every Constitutional means, will
do the best he can to carry out the p
to be wise. He will probably veto
evoelriye
by Congress wh ch is strongly opposed toyß h
tihlle as holdsepsed
prin-
ciples of his policy. He will urge upon Con-
gress the reasons which lead him to reject
their measures. lVhen failing in this course, and
when his vetoes are set aside by the constitutional
majority of the Congress, he will accept and carry
out the Acts so passed. A man placed in his high
position, actuated by very strong and honest mo-
tives, argues thus :—I have studied the subject
deeply—l have means of making myself acquainted
with the circumstances which no other man in the
United States possesses. It is my duty not only to
form a deliberate opinion, but where no doubt ex-
ists in my mind as to the wisdom of a certain course
to endeavour by all lawful means to carry the plan
I have deliberately adopted into action.. I have done
my best to bring the nation to my way of thinking—
in this I have failed. I will do my bestto induce Con-
gress to adopt my measures in this—in all human pro-
bability I will also fail. Then it only remains for me, in
all truth and equity, to carry into execution the laws
for which Congress and the nation arc responsible.
I believe the majority of the nation and of Congress
to be wrong ; but I have no further Constitutional
means of opposing their wish, and lam but the
chief servant of the nation, I hold that the na-

THE CHARGE OP ROBBERY AGAINST THE ASSISTANT RE-
CEIVER OP THE CHARTER-HousE.--Benjamin Gore Booth,
lately occupying the post of assistant receiver to tho Go-
vernors and Company of the Charter-house, was placed
before the Lord Mayor on remand, charged with embez-
zling a largo amount of money, the property of his em-
ployer.

It will bo recollected from the reports of thiscase, which
have been already published, it wrs the duty of tho pri-
soner to receive money on the part of the employers, and
afterwards to pay it into the Bank of England. it
al pears that the prisoner kept the bank pass-book, and
in order to conceal all knowledge of his defalcations he
kept a falsified copy of the genuine pass-book, which,.when
any inquiry was made relative to money received ho pro-
duced, in which all the money appeared correctly entered.
An examination into the previous accounts took place, and
then the system, he had pursued was discovered. The
def,deations were stated to aruuuut.to about £lOO.

Some additional evidence, principally consisting of that
given by bankers' clerks, relative to the cheques which had
passed through the prisoner's hands, having been given,
he was fully committed for trial.

PARIS, Dec. 12.

The Moniteur of this morning publishes the plan
for the re-organisation of the French army, the
principal features of which do not differ from the
details on the subject already given by the Paris

journals.
The Moniteur also publishes advices from the
city of Mexico to the 9th ult., which state that the
Emperor Maximilian was still at Orizaba, and that
nothing had transpired to show what his ulterior in-
tentions might be. " The con:entration of our
troops," adds the Moniteur, " is being effected with-
out the occurrence of any important incident."
The Constitutionnel of to-day contradicts the
statement that the Custom-house officials at Vera

agents of the French Government.

At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and

from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that
ebeleni
they are homeless and starving. The mans

ing the provision made by the Poor 'Louses, each
night numbers of young women, chilaren, and orphans
are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have
to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To
meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda-

work a sum of at least £l,OOO more win lae 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 tamilies
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

THE METROPOLITAN GRAND STEEPLECHASES.

TUESDAY.

This new meeting was inaugurated to-day at Kings-
bury, a pretty country, about a mile and a half from the
Welsh Harp, Hendon, and being under the management
of Mr. Topham, supported by Mr. Warner and an efficient
staff, it obtained the patronage their labours deserved. The
weather was moderately fine, although a heavy fog pre-
vented the races being seen to that advantage which a clear
day would, have ensured and the country favoured. From
the loamy nature of the soil it was anticipated that the
"going" would bo somewhat heavy, .and these anticipa-
tions proved to be correct. The attendance was large, and
speculation brisk. Details are appended :
The Hunt Steeplechase of 5 sovs each, with 30 added, fcr
• hunters; weight for age. About two miles and a half. 5
subs.
•
Mr. E. Clifford's Waterperry (h-b), 5 yrs, list 131 b

Zephyr and Danceaway also ran.
Betting-7 to 4 agst Waterperry, 2to 1 agst Seaweed,
and 3to 1 agst Zephyr. Waterperry got away in advance
of Seaweed, Zephyr, and Danceaway, to the first fence,
which Zephyr refused, but being got over at the second at-
tempt he went on in pursuit. At the second fence Dance-
away refused, and after several ineffectual attempts to get
over was trotted home. The favourite went on with the
running, but being joined by Seaweed after going half the
distance, and the pair raced together till the last fence,
where Seaweed came down a "burster," and the favourite
won easily by ten lengths; nothing else passed the post.
