ROBBERY AND SHAMEFUL OUTRAGE ON A FOREIGN GEN-
TLEMAN.—Two well-known ruffians, named Thomas Des-
mond, aged 18, and John Driscoll, 17, were charged with
being concerned with another villain, also named John
Driscoll, aged 18, and three others, in violently assaulting
and robbing Mr. Karl Erlander, a surgeon, of No. 4, Upper
Berner-street, St. George's-in-the-East.
The prosecutor, a German, who gave his evidence
through the medium of Mr. Wiutgin, an interpreter, was
passing along Leman-street, Whitechapel-street, near the
police station, on the night of the 17th inst., when he was
suddenly attacked by three men in custody, and one more.
Desmond struck him on the face, another bonneted" him
by striking his hat down over his face; he was knocked down
and knelt upon, and the ruffians took his port-monnaie
from his trousers pocket, his spectacles from his left waist-
coat pocket, and his watch from his right waistcoat pocket.
His purse contained £8 4s. in money when it was taken
from him. His watch was cut off the guard. One of the
thieves, John Driscoll, aged 18, was arrested immediately
after the robbery by Benjamin Archer, 101 H, and brought
before Mr. Partridge on Friday and remanded for a week.
The police believed if time was given they should be able
to apprehend the others concerned in the outrage and
robbery.

The prosecutor was able to identify the prisoners as
taking part in the attack upon him. Desmond was the
first to begin the attack.

Mr. Paget remanded the prisoners until Friday.
SCANDALOUS ASSAULT.—Arthur Attridge, aged 18, a
dock labourer of No. 4, King's Arms-court, Limehouse,
was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with violently
assaulting Mr. William Hunt, manager of the King's
Head public-house, in Limehouse, and George Nicholas, a
policeman, 324 K.

The prisoner entered the King's Head public-house last
night while he was intoxicated and demanded liquor,
which Mr. Hunt refused to supply him with, and told him
to go home. The prisoner said he would stop as long as
he pleased, and created a disturbance. Mr. Hunt attempted
to remove him, and the prisoner threw him on the ground
three times, and kicked him on a vital part. The com-
plainant was put to great pain and inconvenience by this
dastardly assault. Nicholas, a constable, was called upon
to assist, and he was also violently beaten by the prisoner.
Mr. Paget said he had made it a rule, from which he
never intended to deviate, to punish with the utmost seve-
rity, or to commit for hard labour, all persons who inflicted
savage and dangerous kicks. He sentenced the prisoner
to two months and hard labour for the assault on Mr.
Hunt, whose conduct was most proper, and one month's
imprisonment and hard labour for the assault on George
Nicholas, the sentences to be consecutive.

THE PROPOSED CONGRESS.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)
VIENNA, May 22.

The official invitations to a Congress at Paris
have been despatched simultaneously by England,
France, and Russia to Austria, Prussia, and Italy.
The announcement of the official Dresden Journal
yesterday that all the Powers had agreed to the
proposed Congress is premature, although Austria,
if she has not already given her adhesion, will cer-
tainly do so.
The effective strength of the Austrian army now
under arms is between 600,000 and 700,000 men.
In case of need 300,000 more troops can be raised
in a very short period.

FERDINAND BLIND.—The Vossische Zeitung, a
moderate Liberal paper of Berlin, states that the ex-
asperation against the Prussian Government is unbounded
in Wirtemberg, and that deep hatred of Count von Bis-
marck fills all hearts. Among the soldiers in the south an
uncontrollable spirit manifests itself, and fears are expressed
that the Cabinet war, as meditated by Bismark, will end iu
a German civil war. " The photograph of Ferdinand
Blind," the letter in the Vossische says, " is exhibited in
Stuttgardt, in the shop windows wreathed with immortelles,
and people loudly declare he is a second William Tell.'
From another source it is stated that the " Landwehr-mon
of Signittringen, who are called into service for the Prus-
sian army, kissed the portrait when marching through the
streets, and gave enthusiastic cheers, amidst to in.
honour of the deceased."

STRAND THEATRE.

The management of this theatre, with praise-
worthy respect for the most popular of our modern
poetical dramatists—Sheridan Knowles —last night
produced a posthumous drama of his, entitled
" Alexina ; or, True unto Death." The present
play was written some years ago for Messrs. Cramer
and Beale, who had the intention of making it the
libretto of au opera. There can be no mistake as
to the identity of the piece. It has all the feeling
and quaint dissertation which marked Knowles's
successful dramas. The scene is laid in Russia, and
the principal part of the play is devoted to the
illustration of the heroism of a female serf to
save her lover from the perils which surround
him. Of course the piece terminates with a mar-
riage, a fitting reward for the devotion of one
who proves herself " true unto death." The drama
is very picturesquely and carefully put upon the
stage, the scenery being entirely new. It is also
acted with the greatest care, Miss Ada Swanborough
and Mr. Price enacting the two principal parts.
Miss Swanborough, as the female serf, anxious to
save her lover, acted with an indication of more
power for such characters than could have been an-
ticipated. Mr. Price has a manly bearing, and gave
the verse he is evidently unused to with much care.
Mr. Parselle, greatly to his praise, did not overact
an outlaw, but toned down very artistically. Mr.
Thorne sustained the comic element to the entire
satisfaction of the audience. At the fall of the cur-
tain all the principal performers received the honour
of a call.

THE CRYSTAL PALACE.

This popular resort was yesterday attended
by au unusually large body of visitors. The
fineness of the weather and the combination
of attractions set forth in the advertisements
proved irresistible to many thousands of holiday
folks, and not even the consciousness of its crowded
state could in the least diminish the enjoyment
which was generally derived from the visit. In fact,
the number waz considerably more than in any

TATTERSALL'S-31oNDAr.

The muster at Albert-gate this afternoon was almost
without a parallel, and the amount of money which changed
hands on tho great events of the past week was corre-
spondingly large. Settling was commenced at the Victoria
Club, where a considerable portion was got through,
lightening, to a certain extent, the weight of business at
Knightsbridge. It was pronounced, on the whole, a most
satisfactory settling as far as it went, and we heard of no
serious complaints, although several accounts stand over
till to-morrow (Tuesday) fur adjustment. All sorts of re-
ports have been in circulation as to the amount of Mr.
Sutton's winnings, but we are credibly informed it is some-
thing under £50,000, The exchange of money was un-
ceasing from the opening of the room till its close, and
there was no legitimate attempt made at betting on future
events, the only transaction which came under our notice
being an investment in favour of Lord Lyon for the St.
Leger.

SURREY.

English Opera was inaugurated at this theatre
last evening, under the auspices of Madame Jenny
Baur, who produced on the occasion Balfe's grand
romantic opera of " Satanella ; or, the Power of
Love ;" and if we may regard the enthusiastic re-
ception given to the performance throughout as a
test of the success of the undertaking, there can be
doubt but that the result will be satisfactory in the
highest degree.
Madame Jenny Baur represented the character
of Satanella ; Miss Fanny Reeves, Lelia;
and Mrs. Aynsley Cook, the Princess Stella.
Mr. W. Parkinson appeared as Count Rupert;
Mr. Charles Durand, as Arimanes, Mr. J.
Rouse, as the Tutor ; and Mr. Aynsley Cook,
as Bracachio, the corsair chief ; and the acting and
singing throughout were in every respect most
effective. Madame Jenny Baur played and sung
with great spirit and point. ller rendering of the
cavatina, " The Power of Love," was rapturously
applauded; as was also the ballad, " In silence, sad
heart, go," which she gave with taste and feeling.
The opera was admirably put upon the stage.
The amusing musical farce of " Why Don't She
Marry?" terminated the evening's entertainment.

In this case the plaintiff brought an action against the
Right Hon. Mr. Walpole, the former Secretary for the
Home Department, for an alleged infringement of the
statutes relative to the prisoners who were confined in the
Queen's Bench Prison. It appeared that the plaintiff had
been imprisoned in the Queen's Bench Prison for costs
arising out of an action in which he had been engaged,
and that his conduct was of that nature that the medical
attendant at the prison believed him to be insane, and
having certified to that fact, the plaintiff was removed to
Bethlem. He brought an action against Mr. Walpole,
which ho lost, and he now moved the court
for a rule to set aside the verdict of the
jury on the ground that he was sane when
he was sent to Bothlom, that there should have been the
certificates of two medical men to justify his removal from
the Queen's Bench prison, that there was misdirection on
the part of the learned judge (the Lord Chief Justice)
&c., &c.

There was nothing in the case, which has been fre-
quently before the court, requiring any special notice,

BUSINESS OF THE COURT.

The special cause and new trial list presented the usual
array of cases, and amongst the latter is that of

TARTER V. WALKER.

In connection with the Cornhill burglary, the rule had
been obtained in the case calling on the plaintiff to show
cause why a verdict awarding the amount of reward
which had been advertised by Mr. Walker, the watchmaker
at Cornhill, for information leading to the conviction of
the burglars who broke into his premises, and for the re-
covery of his property in whole or part, should not be
reversed.

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILWAY.

In July, 1864, Congress chartered the Northern
Pacific Railway. The charter specifies that the
road shall begin "at a point on Lake Superior
in the State of Wisconsin or Minnesota ;
thence run westerly by the most eligible rail-
road route, within the territory of the United
States, on a line north of the forty -fifth degree
of latitude, to some point on Puget's Sound,
with a branch, via the Columbia River, to a
point at or near Portland in the State of Oregon."
The right of way is granted through the public lands,
and the privilege to take timber and other materials
from those lands used in building the road.
" Twenty alternate sections of public land per mile
on each side of said road" are granted to the com-
pany to aid in its construction. At the time the
charter was passed scarcely anybody supposed that
anything would ever be done under the charter.
But within the last few months this charter has
passed into the bands of a company of New Eng-
land
capitalists and railway managers—some of the
most wealthy and energetic men of the nation.
This company is now before Cong Tess with a bill,
asking the nation to guarantee the interest on its
stock, at six per cent. for twenty years, as fast as
20 miles are completed, to be paid semi-annually,
for twenty, twenty-five, fifty, and thirty thousand
dollars per mile, according to the difficulties to be
overcome in different sections of the road. The lands
on the south side of the road are set apart as secu-
rity to the Government for the money advanced.
The wonderful mineral developments of Montana
and Idaho, the fact that almost the entire belt of
country through which it passes is valuable for agri-
cultural purposes, and will sustain a large popula-
tion, and the certainty that both the northern and
central roads, when completed, will not be able to
do half the business that will press upon them, and,
besides that, the revenues sure to be derived from
the settlement of the country through which it

SADLER'S WELLS.

Mr. Wratts Phillips' drama, "The Poor Strollers,"
was produced here last evening, and with the
capital burlesque of "Ixion" afforded the highest
enjoyment to a very crowded house. The principal
incident in " The Poor Strollers," as most of our
readers will recollect, is the remorse occasioned to
Pierre Lereux, the poor player, in the moment of
temptation committing a robbery to afford comforts
to his child, which he cannot honestly obtain for
her. Broken down by the crime he has committed
poor Pierre struggles to conceal his crime from
his daughter, but eventually the playwright deals
out poetical justice and all ends happily. The part
Pierre-Lereux was admirably sustained by Mr. T.
Swinbourne. The character affords great scope for
the actor ; and, like a true artiste, Mr. Swinbourne
during the whole of his performance never once
overstepped the modesty of nature; and the applause
he received must have been highly gratifying to
him. Mr. M'lnty re and Mr. Belmore, as William
Lawson and Bob Ritts, each secured a large share
of applause ; and Miss Ada Dyas sustained the part
of the Stroller's Daughter, Marie, with great deli-
cacy and refinement. The piece was admirably put
upon the stage, every minute detail was well brought
out, and the whole was characterised by that excel-
lence which is so marked a feature in the manage-
ment of Mr. Nation, the lessee.

NEW YORK, May 7.

The New York journals publish the following
correspondence between Earl Russell and Mr.
Adams concerning the oration of Mr. Bancroft in
Congress on the 12th February last :

EARL RUSSELL TO MR. ADAMS.

" Chesham-place, Feb. 28.

" Dear Mr. Adams,—l observe in the Daily News
of yesterday extracts from a speech of Mr. Ban-
croft, delivered in the House of Representatives on
the 12th inst. In this speech Mr. Bancroft is re-
presented to have said, referring to the breaking
out of the civil war :—"fhe British Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs made haste to send word
through the palaces of Europe that the great Re-
public was in its agony ; that the Republic was no
more ; that a headstone was all that remained due
by the law of nations to the late Union.'
" As words pronounced on such an occasion, and
by so eminent a man as Mr. Bancroft, may have an
effect far beyond the injury which my personal cha-
racter might suffer, I must request you to convey
to Mr. Bancroft my denial of the truth of his alle-
gations, and to refer him to facts of a totally oppo-
site character.

those at a distance.

" Nothing could add to my admiration for the heroic
self-denial and Christian virtues of my countrywomen—
for the measure was full to overflowing—nor could any-
thing increase the gratitude with which I will ever recur
to their confidence and sympathy.
" It only remains to assure you and the ladies whom
you represent, that I am, most gratefully and respectfully,
your friend and obedient servant,

charged themselves, and then in a day or two returned and
clamoured for readmission.

The police proved that the defendants were drunk.

Hayes admitted that he had spent lls. since Friday,
but he could not say how.
Mr. Selfe said it was abominable that after disposing of
that sum of money, as much as many a working man had
to keep his family for a week, Hayes should apply to the
parish. The conduct of both was disgraceful, and he
should commit them for seven days. Had the disorder
been inside the workhouse he could have sent them for a
longer period.

was
black and white hangings which had been prepared and put
up for the funeral of Mr. Keble, which took place exactly
six weeks before. The Morning Prayers were read by the
two curates. The Psalms and Canticles chanted as usual
by the choir. The 97th Hymn from the Salisbury Hymn
Book was sung before the Litany. As soon as the morn-
ing service was ended the choir chanted the two Psalms ap-
pointed to be used at the burial of the dead, the lesson was
read by the Rev. J. G. Pincher, after which the procession
began to move out of church, the choir singing as they
went towards the grave. A double grave had been pre-
pared before Mr. Keble's funeral, one half of it being in-
tended for Mrs. Keble, whose death was even then hourly
expected. This double grave is close to the grave of Miss
Elizabeth Keblo (sister of the late Rev. John Kahle), who
died a few years ago. The senior Curate then proceeded
with the service. Two beautiful wreaths—one of white
camellias, the other of crimson rhododendrons—had been
prepared, and placed upon the coffin in the church ; those
were lowered into the grave with the coffin. The 23d
Psalm, according to the Oxford (Dr. Keble's own) version,
was sung, and the service concluded. On Mrs. Sable's
coffin, below the cross on the lid, were the words :
" Charlotte Keble, who fell asleep in Jesus 11th May,
1866, aged 58."
On Saturday the Archbishop of York went
through a fair day's work at Sheffield. His grace conse-
crated a church, laid the foundation stone of another
church, and subsequently distributed prizes and certificates
to the students who had successfully passed the Cambridge
local cumination.

STRAND THEATRE.

The management of this theatre, with praise-
worthy respect for the most popular of our modern
poetical dramatists—Sheridan Knowles—last night
produced a posthumous drama of his, entitled
" Alexina ; or, True unto Death." The present
play was written some years ago for Messrs. Cramer
and Beale, who had the intention of making it the
libretto of an opera. There can be no mistake as
to the identity of the piece. It has all the feeling
and quaint dissertation which marked Knowles's
successful dramas. The scene is laid in Russia, and
the principal part of the play is devoted to the
illustration of the heroism of a female serf to
save her lover from the perils which surround
him. Of course the piece terminates with a mar-
riage, a fitting reward for the devotion of one
who proves herself " true unto death." The drama
is very picturesquely and carefully put upon the
stage, the scenery being entirely new. It is also
acted with the greatest care, Miss Ada Swanborough
and Mr. Price enacting the two principal parts.
Miss Swanborough, as the female serf, anxious to
save her lover, acted with an indication of more
power for such characters than could have been an-
ticipated. Mr. Price has a manly bearing, and gave
the verse he is evidently unused to with much care.
Mr. Parselle, greatly to his praise, did not overact
an outlaw, but toned down very artistically. Mr.
Thorne sustained the comic element to the entire
satisfaction of the audience. At the fall of the cur-
tain all the principal performers received the honour
of a call.

SADLER'S WELLS.

Mr. Watts Phillips' drama, "The Poor Strollers,"
was produced here last evening, and with the
capital burlesque of "Ixion" afforded the highest
enjoyment to a very crowded house. The principal
incident in " The Poor Strollers," as most of our
readers will recollect, is the remorse occasioned to
Pierre Lereux, the poor player, in the moment of
temptation committing a robbery to afford comforts
to his child, which he cannot honestly obtain for
her. Broken down by the crime he has committed
poor Pierre struggles to conceal his crime from
his daughter, but eventually the playwright deals
out poetical justice and all ends happily. The part
Pierre Lereux was admirably sustained by Mr. T.
Swinbourne. The character affords great scope for
the actor ; and, like a true artiste, Mr. Swinbourne
during the whole of his performance never once
overstepped the modesty of nature; and the applause
he received must have been highly gratifying to
him. Mr. M'lntyre and Mr. Belmore, as William
Lawson and Bob Ritts, each secured a large share
of applause ; and Miss Ada Dyas sustained the part
of the Stroller's Daughter, Marie, with great deli-
cacy and refinement. The piece was admirably put
upon the stage, every minute detail was well brought
out, and the whole was characterised by that excel-
lence which is so marked a feature in the manage-
ment of Mr. Nation, the lessee.

'THE NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILWAY.
In July, 1864, Congress chartered the Northern
Pacific Railway. The charter specifies that the
road shall begin "at a point on Lake Superior
in the State of Wisconsin or Minnesota ;
thence run westerly by the most eligible rail-
road route, within the territory of the United
States, on a line north of the forty -fifth degree
of latitude, to some point on Puget's Sound,
with a branch, ma the Columbia River, to a
point at or near Portland in the State of Oregon."
The right of way is granted through the public lands,
and the privilege to take timber and other materials
from those lands used in building the road.
" Twenty alternate sections of public land per mile
on each side of said road" are granted to the com-
pany to aid in its construction. At the time the
charter was passed scarcely anybody supposed that
anything would ever be done under the charter.
But within the last few months this charter has
passed into the hands of a company of New Eng-
land'Tn.

The 29 Deputies from Schleswig-Holstein, who

last of delegates from the different German Diets,

the Schleswig-Holstein Question.
PARIS, MAY 22.

" The Constitutionnel of this morning announces
that France and England have agreed upon the
terms of the communication to be addressed to the
Governments concerned in the existing differences.
It says also :--" The reply of Russia is expected,
and there is every reason to hope that within a few
days the three Cabinets will be in a position to ac-
complish the proposed task.
" It is impossible," continues the Constitutionnel,
" to entertain any illusion upon the serious nature
of the differences between Prussia, Austria, and
Italy, but when France, England, and Russia, after
a maturely-considered agreement undertake such a
mission, it would be peurile to suppose that they
are not serious. From what has transpired, the
three Courts seek conditions of agreement in terri-
torial compensations, which would offer indemnities
and satisfaction to the claims of Russia, Austria, and
Italy. The difficulty in the present state of affairs
consists in finding the territorial compensations
suitable to each case."

FRANCE.

BOURSE, July 9.-.-Two o'clock.—The telegraphic
announcement of the unopposed occupation of Ve-
netia by the united armies of the King of Italy and
General Cialdini, together with the suspense caused
by the tedious and difficult nature of the negotia-
tions to bring about an armistice, have created a
feeling of general apprehension. The market to-day
is very inactive; all classes of Securities are offered,
and quotations consequently exhibit a general
downward tendency. The most noticeable feature
has been a fall of 17f. 50c. in Mexican Bonds, the
price now current being 150 f. Threes, for the
Account, have receded 30c., viz., to 68fr. 30c., and
Italian Fives 50c., to 51fr. 50c. Credit Mobilier
and Fonder Shares have declined—the former 12f.
and the latter 15fr. ; the quotations are 617 f. 50c.,
and 1,260 f. In the Railway Department there is
very little doing. Austrian Shares have lost 15f.,
the price being 347 f. 50c. ; and Lombard 10f., at
375 f. English Consols are telegraphed with an
advance of 1 per cent.

Anecdotes of General Scott.

" Dixon," writing from Washington, contributes
to the Boston Advertiser the following characteristic
stories of General Scott :

IN CHURCH.

The General, while in Washington, was a regular
attendant at St. John's Episcopal Church—more
commonly called Dr. Pine's Church—and strangers
went there to see him just as they went to Dr.
Gurley's to see Mr. Lincoln. A knot of about
twenty persons stood about .on the morning in
question, evidently waiting the arrival of the Gene-
ral. Presently his well-known low-bodied carriage
drove up, and his grand figure and stern face soon
appeared. He walked with some difficulty up the
steps, and paused an instant before entering the
church.

I arrived at that moment, and was passing in at
the door when I heard one of the young men stand-
ing near say, " Well, we've seen him ; come, let's
go." The general must have heard every word, for
the young man evidently spoke louder than he sup-
posed. Quick as thought he turned upon him and
exclaimed, " Young man, go in and say your
prayers to God, who made the old soldier !" He
accompanied his words with a commanding motion
of his hand, and there was in his eyes and firm-set
I;ps such decisiveness of meaning that the young
man passed into the church without even a glance to
his companions.
