WESTMINSTER.

SHAMEFUL ATTACK ON WOMEN.—Joseph Crow and
William Crow, his brother, both young men, were charged
before the magistrate, the first named with most shameful
assaults upon women, and the latter with trying to rescue
him after his apprehension by the police.
A very creditable-looking elderly woman named llibbert
said that she had been to her brother-in-law's in Charles-
street, Grosvenor-square, and was with her husband re-
turning along the Horseferi7-road at a little after 11 last
night, when she was suddenly knocked down by the de-
fendant, Joseph Crow, with a violent blow in the eye,
which blackened it as it now appeared.

Mr. Arnold—Do you know anything of the defendants ?
Complainant—Nothing at all. I never spoke to either
of thorn, and gave no provocation whatever. Ho struck
another woman, I was told, before ho struck me.
A policeman said that was true. Ho had struck another
woman, who had attended at the police station, but was
not hero now. Witness was at Horseferry-road, West-
minster, and saw complainant and defendant advancing in
different directions, when defendant knocked complainant
down without the slightest provocation. Witness took him
into custody, ,when Williams two or three times tried to
rescue him.

William Barrow, 285 B, confirmed the account of
both assaults committed by Joseph.
In defence, it was urged that Joseph had got drunk at
the Regent Music Hall, in Westminster, and did not know
what he was about; that he was a sailor, and should
have gono aboard ship this morning ; and that William had
not tried to rescue him.
A witness was called to the latter statement.
_ _

Mr. Arnold—lt is abominable that a respectable woman
while walking along quietly is to bo attacked and knocked
down in this way.
Defendant Joseph—l shall lose my ship unless I can
join it immediately.
Mr. Arnold—l am sorry for that—l cannot help it. I
am bound to protect tho public.
Joseph was committed for a mouth and William fined
20s. or seven days.

EMBEZZLEMENT AND FORGERY.—James M‘Clellan, aged
29, and lately dwelling at No. 3, Bedford-street, Stepney,
was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with feloniously
embezzling three sums of £ll 25., £2 145., and £3 158.,
which he had received for and on account of his master,
Mr. Lewis Cohen, boot and shoe manufacturer, of No. 1,
Nelson-street, New-road, Stepney.
Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, stated the case for the
prosecution. The prisoner was traveller to Mr. Cohen, and
it was his business to obtain orders and to receive monies
of his master's, customers. The prosecutor had lately
discovered that M‘Clellan was a defaulter to the
amount of about £5O, and that he bad not ac-
counted for the receipt of various sums paid by
Mr. Cohen's customers. Ho also had a charge of forgery
to make. The prisoner received a cheque for £lO from a
tradesman, and forged the name of Lewis Cohen, and ob-
tained cash for it. Mr. Young then produced the cheque,
and the prosecutor said the indorsement "Lewis Cohen,"
was a forgery. Thee() customers proved the payment to
the prisoner of the sums above mentioned in August and
September, and Mr. Cohen said they had not been accounted
for.

The banker's clerk who paid the cash for the cheque was
not present ; and it turned out that the prosecutor could
not read, and that his wife made the entries in his books.
Mr. Paget again remanded the prisoner for the attend-
ance of Mrs. Cohen and the banker's clerk.

As we intimated yesterday, Mr. Rolt, M.P., has
been appointed the new Attorney-General. In the ordi-
nary course Sir William Bovill, as Solicitor-General,
would have been promoted to the higher office, but Mr.
Rolt is greatly his senior in the profession, and had it not
been necessary that ono of the law officers should belong
to the common law bar, would, no doubt, have been ap-
pointed Solicitor-General, instead of Sir William Bovill,
on the formation of Lord Derby's Administration. It was,
we believe, quite understood at the time that in the event
of Sir Hugh Cairns vacating the Attorney-Generalship, as
he has now done, Mr. Rolt would be appointed-Attorney-
General in his place.
SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.—The directors of this
company have filled up the vacancy caused by the resigna-
tion of Mr. S. Smiles, their late secretary, by appointing
Mr. T. A. Chubb to that office. Mr. Chubb has been con-
nected with the South-Eastern, as head of the accountant
department, for many years.

vancing 21. 50c., to 635 f., have lost 3f. 75c., at
628 f. 75c. Credit Foncier are 2f. 50c. lower, at
1,372 f. 50c. Railway Shares are comparatively firm,
and whilst some exhibit a slight decline others have
obtained a similar advance. An active demand is
being resumed for the General Ottoman Debt 5 per

MARKETS.--This Day.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a full average supply of beasts on sale here
to-day, partly the refuse of Monday. Prime breeds sup-
ported previous rates, but inferior stock was very dull, at
barely stationary prices. The top figure was 5s per 81bs.
Prime Down and half-bred sheep were in fair request, on
former terms. Long-woolled sheep were heavy, at Mon-
day's currency. The highest figure was 6s per Sibs.
There was a fair demand for calves, at late rates, viz., from
4s 2d to 5s 2d per 81bs. The sale for pigs was very inac-
tive, yet prices were supported.

tion of ARTIFICIAL TEE "F H fixed without springs, wires,
or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth
as not to be distinguished fro n the originals by the closest
observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will
be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This
method does not require toe extraction of roots, or any pain-
ful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are
loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastica-
tion. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful
in mastication.

THE NATIONAL FINANCES.

The report of the Secretary of the Treasury affords
much information respecting the revenue and com-
merce of the country. His views upon the cur-
rency, and with reference to a proper adjustment of
our revenue system, internal as well as impost, arc
commended to the careful consideration of Con-
gress. In my last annual message I expressed my
general views upon these subjects. I need now only
call attention to the necessity of carrying into every
department of the Government a system of rigid ac-
countability, through retrenchment and wise eco-
nomy. With no exceptional nor unusual expendi-
tures, the oppressive Lurdens of taxation can be
lessened by such a modification of our revenue laws
as will be consistent with the public faith, and the
legitimate and necessary wants of the Government.

TWA PLAN FOR THE EMIGRATION OF FREEDMEN.

The Executive, warned of an attempt by Spanish-Amc-
rican adventurers to induce the emigration of freedmen of
the United States to a foreign country, protested against
the project as one which, if consummated, would reduce
them to a bondage even more oppressive than that from
which they have just been relieved. Assurance has been
received from the Government of the State in which the
plan was matured, that the proceeding will meet neither its
encouragement nor approval. It is a question worthy of
your consideration whether our laws upon this subject are
adequate to the prevention or punishment of the crime thus
meditated.

THE MEXICAN QUESTION.
In the month of April last, as Congress is aware, a
friendly arrangement was made between the Emperor of
France and the President of the United States for the with-
drawal from Mexico of the French expeditionary military
forces. This withdrawal was to be effected in three de-
tachments, the first of which, it was understood, would
leave Mexico in November, now past, the second in March
next, and the third and last in November, 1867. Imme-
diately upon the completion of the evacuation, the French
Government was to assume the attitude of non-interven-
tion, in regard to Mexico, as is held by the Government of
the United States. Repeated assurances have been given
by the Emperor, since that agreement, that he would com-
plete the promised evacuation within the period men-
tioned; or sooner.

THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.

The entire success of the Atlantic telegraph between the
coast of Ireland and the Province of Newfoundland is an
achievement which has been justly celebrated in both
hemispheres as the opening of an era in the progress of
civilisation. There is reason to expect that equal success
will attend, and even greater results follow, the enterprise
for connecting the two continents through the Pacific
Ocean by the projected line of telegraph between Kara-
schntka and the Russian possessions in America.

EXPORTATION OF FOREIGN CRIMINALS TO THE 'UNITED

STATES.

The resolution of Congress protesting against pardons
by foreign Governments of persons convicted of infamous
offences, on condition of emigration to our country, has
been communicated to the States.with which we maintain
intercourse, and the practice, so justly the subject of com-
plaint on our part, has not been renewed.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE EMPEROR or RUSSIA.

The congratulations of Congress to the Emperor of
Russia, upon his escape from attempted assassination, have
been presented to that humane and enlightened rulor, and
received by him with expressions of grateful appreciation.
London, England, 1866-12-17

THE UNITED STATES, FRANCE, AND MEXICO.

I cannot forego the hope that France will reconsider the
subject, and adopt some resolution in regard to the evacua-
tion of Mexico, which will conform as nearly as practicable
with the existing engagement, and thus meet the just ex-
pectations of Ihe United States. The papers relating to
the subject will be laid before you. It is believed that,
with the evacuation of Mexico by the expeditionary forces
no subject for serious differences between France and the
United States would remain. The expressions of the
Emperor and the people of France warrant a hope that
the traditionary friendship between the two countries
might in that case be renewed and permanently
restored.

TIIE NAVY

It is stated in the report of the Secretary of the
Navy that the naval force at this time consists of
two hundred and seventy-eight vessels, armed with
two thousand three hundred and fifty-one guns. Of
these, one hundred and fifteen vessela, carrying one
thousand and twenty-nine guns, are in commission,
distributed chiefly among seven squadrons. The
number of men in the service is thirteen thousand
six hundred. Great activity and vigilance have
been displayed by all the squadrons, and their
movements have been judiciously and efficiently
arranged in such a manner as would best promote
American commerce, and protect the rights and in-
terests of our countrymen abroad. The vessels un-
employed are undergoing repairs, or arelaid up until
their services may be required. Most of the iron-
clad fleet is at League Island, in the vicinity of Phila-
delphia, a place which, until decisive action should
be taken by Congress, was selected by the Secretary
of the Navy as the most eligible location for that
class of vessels. It is important that a suitable
public station should be provided for the iron-clad
fleet. It is intended that these vessels shall be in
proper condition for any emergency, and it is de-
sirable that the bill accepting League Island for
naval purposes, which passed the House of Repre-
sentatives at its last session, should receive final
action at an early period, in order that there may
be a suitable public station for this class of vessels, as
well as a navy-yard of area sufficient for the wants of
the service, on the Delaware River. The Naval
Pension fund amounts to $11,750,000, having been
increased $2,750,009 during the year. The expen-
ditures of the Department for the fiscal year ending
30th June were $43,324,526, and the estimates for
the coming year amount to $23,568,436. Attention
is invited to the condition of our seamen, and the
importance of legislative measures for their relief
and improvement. The suggestions in behalf of
this deserving class of our fellow-citizens are earn-
estly recommended to the favourable attention of
Congress.
London, England, 1866-12-17

THE AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.

The report of the Commissioner of Agriculture reviews
the operations of his department during the past year, and
asks those States which, scourged by war, aro now ear-
nestly engaged in the reorganisation of domestic industry.

TOREIGN RELATIONS.

It is a subject of congratulation that no foreign com-
binations against our domestic pease and safety, or our
legitimate influence among the nations, have been formed
or attemped. While sentiments of reconcilation, loyalty,
and patriotism have increased at home, a more just consi-
deration of our national character and rights has been
manifested by foreign nations.

UST.

AMA7EUI? A7HLETIC CLUB.

Considering the wet weather, this club was well repre -
sented on Saturday afternoon at Beaufort House. The
first event was

A 150 Yards Handicap, 14 entries, which was run off in
two preliminary and a final heat, as follows :
First Heat.—J. H. Ridley, 3 yards start, 1 ; Lieut.-Col.
Wynne, 2, 2. At 30 yards from the finish Ridley was
leading by four yards, but finding that Colonel Wynne
could not catch him slackened his speed, and won by two
yards.

Second Heat.—W. Collett, scratch, 1; R. N. Vidal, 3, 2.
Won easily by a foot. C. C. Ross, 6, did not arrive in

me, but was allowed to run in the final heat.

Deciding Beat.—Ridley, 1, Collett 2, Vidal 3. Won by
fully two yards ; a yard and a half between Collett and
Vidal. Time, 16 secs.

Four Miles 'Walking Race.—R. M. Williams, 50 yards
start, 1; R. M. M'Kerrell, scratch, 2 ; G. C. Whitely, 150,
3. Williams won in 35 min. 7 secs.. beating M'Kerrell by
15 sees., the last named being Whitely by 20 secs.
Hurdle Race, 120 Yards.—Martin, 4 yards start, 1; A.
Arthur, 4, 2. Won by half a yard. Only two finished
Time, 22 secs.

Ono Mile Race.—W. M. Chinnery, 20 yards start, 1; T.
W. Fletcher, 35, 2 ; J. IL Ridley, 0. Won by 20 yards in
5 min. 3 secs. Considering the state of the ground it was
a very excellent performance.
410 Yards Raco.—W. Frore, 14 yards start, 1 ; C. C.
Ross, 17, 2 ; R. W. Vidal, 3. Won by two feet. Time, 56
secs.

NON-WITHDRAWAL OF THE FRENCH TROOPS.

Such was the condition of affairs in regardtoMexico
when, on the 22d of November last, official information
was received from Paris that the Emperor of France had
some time before decided not to withdraw a detachment of
his forces in the mouth of November past, according to
engagement; but that this decision was made with the_
purpose of withdrawing the whole of those forces in the
ensuing spring. Of this determination, however, the
United States had not received any notice or intimation ;

_ .....
and as soon as the information was received by the Go-
vernment, care was taken to make known its dissent to the
Emperor of France.

TILE UNITED STATES, FRANCE, AND MEXICO.

I cannot forego the hope that Franco will reconsider the
subject, and adopt some resolution in regard to the evacua-
tion of Mexico, which will conform as nearly as practicable
with the existing engagement, and thus meet the just ex-
pectations of Ihe United States. The papers relating to
the subject will be laid before you. It is believed that,
with the evacuation of Mexico by the expeditionary forces
no subject for serious differences between France and the
United States would remain. The expressions of the
Emperor and the people of France warrant a hope that
the traditionary friendship between the two countries
might in that case be renewed and permanently
restored.

HOW TO EXTINGUISH THE DEBT.

During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1866, the
receipts were $558,032,620, and the expenditures
$520,750,940, leaving an available surplus of
$37,281,680. It is estimated that the receipts for the
fiscalyear ending June 30,1867, will be $475,061,386,
and that the expenditures will reach the sum of
$316,428,078, leaving in the Treasury a surplus
of $158,633,308. For the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1868, it is estimated that the receipts
will amount to $436,000,000 and that the expendi-
tures will be $350,247,641—5h0wing an excess of
$85,752,359 in favor of Government. These esti-
mated receipts may be diminished by a reduction of
excise and import duties ; but after all necessary re-
ductions shall have been made, the revenue of the
present and of following years will doubtless be suf-
ficient to;coyer all legitimate charges upon the Trea-
sury, and leave a large annual surplus to be applied
to the payment of the principal of the debt. There
seems now to be no good reason why taxes may not
be reduced as the country advances in population
and wealth, and yet the debt be extinguished within
the next quarter of a century.
London, England, 1866-12-17

THE WAR DEPARTMENT.

The Report of the Secretary of War furnishes
valuable and important information in reference to
the operations of his Department during the past
year. Few volunteers now remain in the service,
and they are being discharged as rapidly as they
can be replaced by volunteer troops. The army has
been promptly paid, carefully provided with medical
treatment, well sheltered and subsisted, and is to be
furnished with breech-loading small arms. The
military strength of the nation has been unimpaired
by the discharge of volunteers, the disposition of
unserviceable or perishable stores, and the retrench-
ment of expenditure. Sufficient war material to
meet any emergency has been retained, and, from
the disbanded volunteers standing ready to respond
to the national call, large armies can be rapidly
organised, equipped, and concentrated. Fortifica-
tions on the coast and frontier have received, or are
being prepared for more powerful a'rmanients ; lake
surveys and harbour and river improvements are in
course of energetic prosecution. Preparations have
been made for the payment of the additional
bounties authorised during the recent session of
Congress, under such regulations as will protect
the Government from fraud, and secure to the
honourably-discharged soldier the well-earned re-
ward of his faithfulness and gallantry. More than
six thousand maimed soldiers have received artificial
limbs or other surgical apparatus ; and forty-one
national cemeteries, containing the remains of
104,526 Union soldiers, have already been esta-
blished. The total estimate of military appropria-
tions is $25,205,669.

INDEMNITY FOR SPOLIATION ON THE HIGH SEAS.

A claim of a citizen of the United States for indemnity
for spoliations committed on the high seas by the French
authorities, in the exercise of a belligerent power against
Mexico, has been met by the Government of France with
a proposition to defer settlement until a mutual convention
for the adjustment of all claims of citizens and subjects of
both countries, arising out of the recent wars on this con-
tinent, shall be agreed upon by the two:countries. The
suggestion is not deemed unreasonable, but it belongs to
Congress to direct the manner in which claims for indem-
nity by foreigners, as well as by citizens of the United
States, arising out of the late civil war, shall be adjudi-
cated and determined. I have no doubt that the subject
of all such claims will engage your attention at a conve-
nient and proper time.
