We have great pleasure in
is her Majesty's intention to ci
Alfred a Peer of the Realm, under the titles of
Duke of Edinburgh and Earl of Kent. His royal
highness will most probably take his seat iu the
House of Lords on Thursday, the 24th of May, her
Majesty's birthday.
As it has been rumoured that his Highness the
Prince of Teck is still in the Austrian army, and
that in the event of war he would have to join his
regiment, it may be well to state that, though the
Prince retains his uniform, according to custom,
yet he is no longer in the army. Should war break
out, his highness would, of cours', tender his ser-
vices to the Emperor, who, however, we trust, will
not require them.

Mr. Molet has been recalled from Vienna, the
impending war having rendered it impossible to
proceed for the present with the proposed com-
mercial treaty. The delay, however, will not pro-
bably be without service, and will afford time for
maturing a more extended and satisfactory scheme.
Mr. Algernon E. West, late Private Secretary to.
Viscount Halifax and Lord De Grey, has been ap-
pointed Deputy Director of Indian Military Funds.
Mr. Shaw Lefevre, M.l'., the new Civil Lord of
the Admiralty, has appointed Mr. Carmichael his
Private Secretary.

The Royal Commission for inquiry into the
system of recruiting for her Majesty's forces has been
nominated, as We announced, under the presidency
of Lord Dalhousie. A few facts with regard to the
French army may be of interest. The general belief
that the vacancies in its ranks are filled by the con-
scription is erroneous. In 1864-65 the numerical
strength of the French army was 408,465
men, amongst whom there were : —Volunteers,
16,853 ; re-engaged men (after discharge) originally
drawn in conscription, 18,240; re-engaged, before
liberation, 105,484; making a total of 139,577 men

440491 per 110braerviLig.as volwhole-unteers in
my. the ranks
a—llied about
34 cent. of the ar As to
the subject, we give the following details of
the crimes and punishments in the French army
during the same year :—Charged with crime, 5,703 ;
abandoned, 711; tried, 4,992 ; convicted, 3,985 ;
acquitted, 1,007. The severest sentences were—
Death, 100 ; commuted, 20 ; executed, 80 ; hard
labour for life, 169 ; commuted, 40 ; imprisonment
for long periods, 436 ; public works, 436. The ar-
tillery force was 36,085 men, of whom 291 were
accused, and 243 convicted.

It is probable that measures will shortly be taken
to place all the electric telegraph lines in the coun-
try in the hands of the Post-office, with a view to
the establishment of a low and uniform rate of
charge for telegrams.
An inquiry into the policy and operation of the
patent laws will before long be made either by a
commission or by a Parliamentary committee.

WILD ANIMALS IN INDIA.— We have before us a
list of animals killed in these provinces during the
first half of last year, with the amount paid for rewards.
Total number of animals killed : Tigers, 359 ; leopards,
516 ; bears, 293 ; wolves, 99 ; hyenas, 286 ; making in alt
1,543, for which 23,561 rupees have been expended. The
number of animals killed is larger than the number killed
during the preceding year, the rainy season of ,1864, but it
is somewhat less than the result attained in the corres-
ponding half of 1864. Mr. Campbell hopes this decrease
may be due to an actual decrease in the number of wild
animals.—Central Indian Times.

were to afford accommodation to bankers and mer.
chants ?

Mr. WYLD said he also had a question on the subject,
but he would vary it by asking the Chancellor of the
Exchequer whether he considered the Bank had fairly
carried out the directions of the 'Government.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he bad
not received any representations in the way of complaint
of the manner in which the Bank of England had acted
during the late panic. There were, however, certain
rnmours abroad, and they had reached him, and he did not
think it could be said the Bank had refused accommodation
In support of that he thought the best answer would be
the actual amount of the advances made by the Bank on
Government security. In the seven days, including the
day of the panic, finding the Bank advanced no less that
£2,834,000 on Government securities, and with respect to
the accommodation afforded to commerce in general the
figures themselves would be the best answer 'to
any complaints. In the five days the Bank had granted
discounts on bills to the amount of £,9,350,000, making
together advances and discounts no less a sum than
£12,225,000. He could not believe that the house would
think that the figures showed any disinclination on tho
part of the Bank to give it assistance. The Bank autho-
rities had acted quite up to the intentions of the Govern-
ment, they had proceeded on the prudent rules of the
establishment, in preference to giving everything the.
everybody asked. With respect to the refusal with re-
reference to Government Securities the Bank authorities
suggested on the Monday morning when they were
brought that the parties should try the open masket as the
panic had greatly ceased. At the same time it was inti-
mated that where sales could not be effected without great
and serious loss, then the Bank would be quite ready to
meet the wants of those requiring assistance. - The refusal
of the Bank directors was given to applicants for an un-
limited amount of discount, and he thought they were
right in such a determination.

TENURE AND IMPROVEMENT OF LAND
(IRELAND) BILL.

Lord NAAS moved the second reading of this bill, the
object of which was the simplifying the mode of the tenant
compensation for any outlay made in the permanent im-
provement of the land.
London, England, 1866-05-17

MADRAS.

The traffic receipts on thie company's South-west
line amounted, for the quarter ending the 31st of
March last, to £92,345, or £lBB per mile, against
£83,819, or £l7O per mile, for the corresponding
three months of 1865, the mileage remaining the
same. On the North-West line the receipts for the
quarter had been £15,973 on 119 miles open, or £134
per mile, against £7,422 on 79 miles open, or £94
per mile, for the same period of 1865. The two
lines together showed an increase on the quarter of
40 miles, or 7 per cent. in length of way open, and
£17,077, or 181 per cent. in the receipts.

MIDLAND CONTRACT.
A special meeting of the shareholders in this
company was held at Birmingham on Thursday ;
Mr. W. A. Adams, the managing director, in the
chair. The chairman stated that the company had
been formed to construct the line of railway in France
through La Vendee, from the important seaport of
Sables d'Olonne, on the shores of the Atlantic to
Bressuire, and then on to Tours. Two-thirds of the
line, the section from Sables to the capital of the
Province Napoleon-Vendee, had been nearly com-
pleted, the land beyond had been purchased, and
the remainder of the works had been executed at a
cost below the original estimate. The first part of
the subvention from the French Government, paid
half-yearly, had been received, and others would be
due as soon as the outlay enabled the directors to
claim the instalments. A convention had been en-
tered into with the French Minister of Public Works
for the extension of the line to Tours, with a further
sum to be paid to the company of £400,000. This
would make the whole amount of money to be paid
by the Government towards the construction of the
line nearly a million, and that sum would enable
the company to possess the cheapest trunk line of
railway in Europe. The Midland Contract Com-
pany possessed all the shares of the railway, so that
for the sum they advanced they had the whole of
this large property. The estimate of profit was
submitted to the meeting, and this, in addition to 5
per cent. per annum upon the amount paid, would
more than double the interest on the investment.
A resolution was passed to the effect that the
capital of the company be increased to £600,000 by
the issue of 10,000 shares of £2O each. It was stated
that the bulk of the shares would be taken up by
the present proprietary.

was determined not to resist a bombardment, I called upon

my vessels to get out of the Spanish way. This inten-

AND

COMIERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The directors of the Bank of England have not
:he
it necessary to make any alteration in
-he rate of discount, which remains at 10 per cent.
quieter and a somewhat easier feeling is notice-
able in all quarters, and the brokers, although not
negotiating bills freely, are more inclined to take
those of short date. The Gazette return, which will
appear this evening, will be perused with interest,
4.8 the changes it will show will no doubt be very
Important.
At an ordinary general meeting to-day of the
shareholders of the Otago and Southlands Invest-
Ment Company, the report presented by the direc-
tors stated that the net profit for the year ending
31st January, 1866, amounted to £3,342. The in-
terim dividend at the rate,of 8 per cent. per annum
declared on the business to 31st July last required
£1,525 2s. Bd., leaving £2,0145. 15s. 11d, now avail-
able for distribution. Of this sum the Directors
recommend that £1,546 19s. 6d. be applied towards
the payment of a further dividend at the rate of 8
per cent, per annum, free of Income tax, and that
£245 19s. 3d. be written off the preliminary ex-
penses, leaving a balance of £221 17s. 2d. to be
carried forward to the credit of next account.

MADRAS.

The traffic receipts on thie company's South-west
line amounted, for the quarter ending the 31st of
March last, to £92,345, or £lBB per mile, against
£83,819, or £l7O per mile, for the corresponding
three months of 1865, the mileage remaining the
same. On the North-West line the receipts for the
quarter had been £15,973 on 119 miles open, or £134
per mile, against £7,422 on 79 miles open, or £94
per mile, for the same period of 1865. The two
lines together showed an increase on the quarter of
40 miles, or 7 per cent. in length of way open, and
£17,077, or 181 per cent. in the receipts.

MID-W ALES.

A Wharncliffe meeting of this company was held
on Tuesday at the offices, Bishopsgate-street ; Mr.
Parker in the chair.

The CHAIRMAN said they had only one bill
ready, which was for the purpose of changing the
name of the Pembroke and Tenby Railway Com-
pany, and for enabling them to extend their railway
to Carmarthen and to Milford Haven, to lease their
undertaking and for other purposes. So far as the
Mid-Wales Company was concerned it simply
enabled them to make working arrangements with
the Pembroke and Tenby Company, and while it
could not possibly do any harm it might be of much
service to the Mid-Wales Company.
The bill was then unanimously approved, and the
meeting adjourned to the 30th inst. .

POLICE IN

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE JUDGE AND THE FIRE ESCAPE CONDUCTOR.—James
Rowlands, a fire escape conductor, was charged before Mr.
Knox with being drunk and behaving in a disorderly
manner, and assaulting Mr. Henry George Brooks, judge of
the Judge and Jury Society and refreshment-house keeper,
No. 21, Leicester-square. •

Mr. Brooks said that shortly before twelve o'clock last
night, in consequence of what he was informed, he went
into his public-room, and saw the defendant very violent,
and making use of bad language. He requested the defen-
dant to leave, but he refused, and kept shouting out
" Music." He told the defendant that be had no music, and
again requested him to leave, and as he would not he
called a constable, and the defendant then said he would
leave. He (Mr. Brooks) left, as also did the constable
thinking the defendant would go away, but about ten
minutes afterwards ho was again sent for, and
found the defendant had forced his way into a
a private room and taken up a chair. He tried to get the
defendant out of the room, and the defendant then seized
him roughly and threw him against the wall and head-
long down stairs, endangering his neck. He then got a
second constable, and after a great deal of difficulty in
getting the defendant into the street he gave him into
custody.

In answer to Mr. Knox, the complainant said the de-
fendant was very drunk, and that he never saw a con-
stable show more forbearance than the one who took him
to the station, and ho felt it his duty to mention the fact.
The defendant denied calling out in the room, but Mr.
Brooks said he called out " Music" and "Banjo."
Mr. Brooks, manager, proved hearing the defendant call
out " Music" and "Banjo," although he requested him
not to do so. A waiter proved seeing the defendant throw
Mr. Brooks against the wall ; and Suckling, 177 0, proved
that the defendant was drunk and used very bad language.
In his defence, the defendant said that he never toliched
the complainant, and that the complainant was intoxi-
cated.

Sergeant Appleton and the constable both stated that
Mr. Brooks was quite sober.
The defendant's inspector said defendant had been four
times reported for absence from duty. He would now have
to appear before the committee, and after what had oc-
curred would be dismissed, the society not permitting such
conduct.

Mr. Knox said the defendant's stating that Mr. Brooks
was drunk, when it was proved that he was not so, made
him think very badly of him in trying to take away a
man's character. As the defendant would be discharged
from his employ, he would not send him to prison for a
month, as ho otherwise would have done, but he would
give him the option of paying a fine of £3, or a month's
imprisonment.

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new descrip-
tion of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, 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 tee 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.

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 aro admitted, the only condition being that
they are homeless and starving. The 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, andhave
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 be 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 behalll

gratefully received by the Rev. D. QILBERT ;D.D.,TO. 22,

WESTMINSTER.

IMPUDENT ATTEMPT TO ROB A IlousE.—Thomas Ivell,
a boy about 14 years old, was placed at the bar, charged
with burglariously entering the dwelling-house of Mr.
Sydney Davis, artist, 172, Cambridge-street, Pimlico, with
intent to commit felony.

Mr. Thomas Crer, a gentleman living in Cambridge-
street, said that at 20 minutes to 11 last night ho saw the
prisoner and a man with him sit down on the front steps
of 172. His suspicion was excited by their stealthily
watching and removing from the spot where it appeared
that they were observed. They returned, however,
in a few minutes, and having watched till the
street was perfectly free of passengers, the prisoner
mounted the balustrade, and having got on to the sill
of the parlour window, opened it, and went inside.
Witness immediately rang the bell of the house, and
apprized the inmates. The police were called, and the pri-
soner was found in the parlour concealed behind the
couch.

Mr. Arnold—Where was the man ?
Witness—He was at the door when the boy entered, and
ran away when he saw me.
Mr. Arnold—ls the boy known ?

The Police—He has been here before charged with
felony. He is well known to us.

Prisoner was remanded for a week.
