LONDON, TUESDAY, NOV. 27, 1866.

Lord JOHN MANNEP,S has had a difficult task to
perform, but he has acquitted himself in an admir-
able manner of his awkward duty. Yesterday a
deputation waited upon his lordship from the corn-
inittee who have the management of the Trade Re-
form Demonstration for Monday next. Arr. C.
rorrat explained that they had sought to obtain
some private ground for the purpose of their pro-
posed meeting, but had failed in their effort, and
they now desired his lordship in the name
of the Government to allow them the use
of the Green Park or Hyde Park for their
object. This should not, however, prejudice the
question as to right of meeting there, but they pre-

1 A telegram from Portsmouth to the Admiralty at
Whitehall informs their lordships that the Orontes
will be ready to receive troops by Thursday next,
and on that day the 28th and 52d Regiments
will embark for Ireland. The 39th Regiment is
already en route for Dublin. Before the end of the
week the military force in that country will be
augmented, taking in account the Royal Marine
Infantry, which left Chatham yesterday, to the
extent of over 3,000 men.

will do so—Austria wil: do all in her power to esta-
blish really amicable relttions with the great Power
of Northern Germany.
The correspondence kom Pesth is more and more
favourable to the ideaof a cordial understanding
with the Deak party.

The uncertaintly abort the Emperor Maximilian
still exists. Nothing alpears in the Moniteur upon
the subject. AccordinE to the views of the Siecle,
the question is whether re has really sailed for Eu-
rope. Did he stop at Crizaba, either spontaneously
or after a conference vith General Castelnau, or
after having received despatches from Marshal
Bazaine. These points vill not be satisfactorily ex-
plained until the arrivalof the Seine, which was to
leave Vera Cruz on tie sth of November, and
should arrive at Southanpton on Wednesday or
Thursday next.

For months past a retort has been prevalent that
the Empress has desired to go to Rome. This re-
port is now renewed, znd in some quarters it is
believed:that her Majesty will shortly carry the in-
tention into effect.

The Patric has some lemarkable expressions upon
the subject. It says :—" The Convention of the
15th September has alarmed religious feel;ng iu
France. The Government does not share this fear,
because it knows that tle treaty will be faithfully
carried out on both side:. The journey of the Em-
press, therefore, at this period would only afford a
proof of the confidence with which the Government
is animated, and on the ?art of the Emperor only a
testimony of his deep sympathy and attachment to
the Pope. It cannot have any other signification."
The very important question as to the right to
publish a Guide to the Great Exhibition was to have
been decided by the Tribunal of Correctional
Police on Saturday, but .3y the consent of the coun-
sel on both sides the further consideration of the
question was postponed for a fortnight.

THAMES.

A stout able-bodied young man, named Holland, was
this morning sent to prison for five weeks for damaging
the uniform of two police constables. Tho prisoner was a
rigger, and in the morning he went to work, but being
Monday he got drunk, and was dismissed from his employ-
ment shortly after noon. Ho, however, went to his
master's office, and demanded his day's wages, which:of
coarse were refused, acd he then sot to breaking the
windows and damaging every thing within his reach. ;The
policemen came in for their share of the ill-usage as they
were taking the prisoner to the station-house. The three
hoarse-singing cripples, Sparkes, Coker, and Mather, were
this morning cautioned before the magistrate not to trade
on their misfortunes. The mon are familiar to the public,
as they go about on crutches, dressed in white clothing,
yelling forth the most dismal of songs.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF FELONY.—Susan Davis, an
innocent looking girl, was charged with the commission of
a series of thefts.

The Rev. Mr. Ford, of 156, Cambridge-street, Pimlico,
said that the prisoner had been in his service, and left
about a fortnight ago. Having been accused of other
offences, she had admitted that she had robbed him of
money from time to time.

Mrs. Ford said that during six weeks, which time the
prisoner was in the house, sho missed money from her
locked trunk. The prisoner had afterwards admitted that
she had robbed her of between £5 and £6.

Mr. Benjamin Dulley, a gentleman living in the house,
said that ho had four £5 notes in a locked desk in his sit-
ting-room. lls missed one of the notes ten days after she
had been there, and subsequently some gold. She ad-
mitted that she had stolen it, but that was under a pro-
mise of forgivenness.

Mr. Ford said he bad made no promise to her of any
description. He then handed in a written confession of
prisoner's peculations, and said that some skeleton keys
brought by a man who visited the prisoner had been
found in the cellar. He had given her the keys and sot
her, according to her account, to rob the house.
Prisoner said the confession had been extorted from her
by threats, that she should be thrown into a dungaon
where there were rats and mice for the remainder of her
life. She declared that her master's son had brought the
skeleton keys there.

The son positively denied this, and proved finding the
keys in the cellar.
A young man, related to the prisoner, positively declared
that the Fords had offered to forego the prosecution if the
money was restored.
Mr. Ford denied it.

It was stated that tho prisoner's young man, Paid to have
given her the keys, could be produced.
Mr. Arnold said it was an extraordinary thing that tho
thing that the girl should have been kept in the house so
long after the confession. Prisoner was ordered to find a
surety in £25 for her re-appearance.

PIGEON FLYING MATCH.—On Monday morning
12 pigeon fanciers of the Borough contested a home fly from
Gravesend for a sweepstakes of £l2. A bird of the Blue-
beard tribe won by performing the distanco in 39 minutes,
and four other pigeons arrived home within 45 minutes
from the time of being tossed up.
Wreck continues to wash ashore near Bude,
Cornwall. On Friday a whale boat, 30ft. long, and 10ft.
wide, Was secured. There was no clue to its ownership.

MALTON.

Grand Cross, Knight of the Grove, Taraban,
and the Wild Wind merely trotted and cantered
this morning ; and neither Knight of the Crescent,
Amazon, Klarnet, Knight of St. Michael, or Ron-
dinella did much more. The Whitewall yearlings,
though, were being got forward. Peck had seve-
ral in work, led by Bezique. Amongst the elder
horses that were doing a fair amount of healthy
exercise, we noticed Treasure Trove, Sky sail,
Malta, Verity, Ploughboy, Urania, Queen Ellis,
Tycoon, and Whistler. I'Anson and Shepherd
were particularly busy with their yearlings.

To-day Lecturer took Uncas and Distin a steady
mile gallop, but the Derby horses are both very

Llwyngwair, was yesterday elected unopposed. In re-
turning thanks ho said he would support any well-con-

the hydra-headed disease called dyspepsia can form any
notion of the great expense chronic indigestion entails on
muscle, nerve, mind, and temper. In the early stages of
this Protean malady the purifying, regulating, and aperieut
Pills invented by Professor Holloway exert the most
wholesome power, by accurately adjusting the functions
of the stomach, liver, bowels, and the minor organs, sub-
serving the solution of man's daily food. In confirmed
debility of digestion Holloway's dills are likewise reliable
remedies, which may be confidently resorted to in all
stomachic, hepatic, renal, and alvine derangements,without
the slightest doubt of their ability to release the sufferer
from almost, insupportable misery.

A Crinoline Tragedy.

A Surgeon, dating from Sloane-street, thus wrote
the other day to the Times :

At midday to-day, in the public street, in front
of my own house, and in view of a crowd of horrified
spectators, was enacted one of those brief, but
awful, tragedies of which crinoline has been the too
fruitful author. It being generally the lot of mem-
bers of my profession to make their appearance at a
later period of the drama, suffer me, who on this
occasion was almost at its commencement, to tel
you what happened.

BELFAST AND NORTHERN COUNTIES.

The report of the directors of this company states
that the traffic receipts for the past half year
amounted to £51,043, against £48,647 for the cor-
responding half of 1865, showing an increase of
£9,396, a result which the directors' consider satis-
factory. The working expenses, exclusive of the
amounts received for working the Londonderry and
Coleraine and the Carrickfergus and Lame lines,
were higher than formerly ; but this was fully ac-
counted for by the advance in all classes of wages,
the increased price of the principal materials used,
and the extra business in that department. The
balance of revenue was £21,773, out of which was
deducted £4,756 for renewals, leaving £17,017, out
of which the directors recommend a dividend at the
rate of 4 per cent. per annum, being an increase of
one-half per cent., as compared with the corres-
ponding half of 1865, on the original shares, which
would amount to £11,158 ; and the dividend on the
preference shares to £4,856, leaving a balance of
£1,002.

1866 ; of the number of select committees appointed ; of

inclusive ; the aggregate amount of each five years ; and
the percentage of increase or decrease in each period of five
years ; and of the gross amount of revenue received from

THE CATTLE PLAGUE.

In reply to Mr. Dons();
Mr. CORRY said the report of the select committee on
Trade in Animals was considered at a council held yester-
day, and, with every desire to relax the restrictions upon
the traffic in cattle at the earliest possible moment con-
sistent with safety, the Govei-arnent did not think it 1? 1-
Tisablo yet to issue any new Order either as regarded the
metropolis or elsewhere. The disease had decreased so
much, however, that he hoped a relaxation of the restric-
tions would be practicable in a short time.
