THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 27, 1866.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.—This Day.

WAKEFIELD.

The committee reassembled this morning at 11
o'clock, and the evidence in support of the sitting
member's case, which was opened yesterday, was
proceeded with.

Mr. Clarkson, cashier to Messrs. Lee, the manu-
facturers at Wakefield,' gave evidence tending to
show that the money advanced on behalf of Mr.
Leatham was legitimately applied to electioneering
expenses.

William Smith, a member of the London de-
tective force, proved having held a warrant in his
possession for the arrest of Henry Barrett, whose
name has figured so prominently in the proceedings,
and who levanted in October last, not being able
to account for a sum of £3OO which had been en-
trusted to his care.
Other evidence to the same effect was adduced.
London, England, 1866-04-27

ST. PANCRAS BURIAL GROUND.

Mr. M'EVOY asked the Secretary of State for the Home
Department whether he was aware that the Midland Rail-
way Company, having obtained an act (27 and 28 Vic., c.
231) which by its 23d section allowed them to pass a tun-
nel under the old churchyard of St. Pancras (a closed
burying ground) were about to make an open cutting
through said churchyard, thereby disturbing the tombs
and bodies; and whether Government would interfere to
protect the place from such desecration.

Sir G. GREY said inquiry had been made, and it ap-
peared the railway was to be made in a tunnel twelve feet
below, and the upper cutting was to be made to construct
the tunnel. The trustees had refused to sanction the
opening of the ground, and certain arrangements had been
made with the company, to whose proposals they
acquiesced.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE SOCIAL EVIL.—THE FOREIGN WOMEN IN RE-
GENT-STREET.—Mathilde Derafort, a Frenchwoman, was
charged before Mr. Knox with loitering in Regent-street
for an immoral purpose to the annoyance of the neigh-
bours.

Mr. Henry Dolby, engraver, of No. 56, Regent-street,
said that about 10 o'clock the previous evening he was
walking in the Regent Quadrant, accompanied by a
neighbour, who was in court, when he called the constable's
attention to the unusual number of prostitutes walking
between Air-street and the County Fire Office, amongst
whom the prisoner was the most conspicuous, both from
her style of dress and her repeated solicitations of gentle-
men. He watched the prisoner, as did also the constable,
for an hour, and he then gave her into custody. He
knew the prisoner as a regular walker of the streets from
two in the afternoon, with intervals, till twc in the morn-
ing; if she was more conspicuous at one time than another
it was on Sunday evenings when persons were coming
out of church, when she was in the practice of annoying
every young man who passed, and who, to avoid her an-
noyance, had sometimes to cross the street, as persons had
to do last night.

Mr. Daniel Downs, of 14, Glasshouse-street, having
corroborated Mr. Dolby,

Watkins, 303 A, proved being spoken to by Mr. Dolby
and seeing the prisoner annoy gentlemen, one of whom
had to cross Regent-street to avoid her. He has had to
speak to the prisoner several times during the last month,
but to no purpose.
Mr. Knox fined the prisoner 40s. or a month.

FRANCE AND ITALY.

PARIS, APRIL 27.
The Constitutionnel of this morning publishes the

following :
" We are in a position to state that Italy has
neither made armaments nor effected concentrations
of troops. The declarations of the Italian Go-
vernment are precise in this respect, and are con-
firmed by all private or official information.

" The Government of the Emperor has not
two policies, and does not encourage warlike
inclinations on one side or the other. It desired
the maintenance of peace in every quarter, and
does all in its power within the measure of its
rights and dignity to preserve the blessings of
peace to Europe.
The Constitutionnel also says : " Immediately
after receipt of Prussia's reply, the Vienna Cabinet
entered into communication with the Prussian Go-
vernment in order to settle the manner in which
mutual disarmament should be effected. We have
grounds to expect that these negotiations will be
shortly attended with result."

proved in every respect, their entertainment being unani-
mously pronounced bf the metropolitan press to be the most
sparkling in London.

I.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE SOCIAL EVIL—THE FOREIGN WOMEN IN RE-
GENT-STREET.—Mathilde Derafort, a Frenchwoman, was
charged before Mr. Knox with loitering in Regent-street
for an immoral purpose to the annoyance of the neigh-
bours.

Mr. Henry Dolby, engraver, of No. 56, Regent-street,
said that about 10 o'clock the previous evening he was
walking in the Regent Quadrant, accompanied by a
neighbour, who was in court, when he called the constable's
attention to the unusual number of prostitutes walking
between Air-street and the County Fire Office, amongst
whom the prisoner was the most conspicuous, both fiora
her style of dress and her repeated solicitations of gentle-
men. He watched the paisoner, as did also the constable,
for an hour, and he then gave her into custody. He
knew the prisoner as a regular walker of the streets from
two in the afternoon, with intervals, till twc in the morn-
ing; if she was more conspicuous at one time than another
it was on Sunday evenings when persons were coming
out of church, when she was in the practice of annoying
every young man who passed, and who, to avoid her an-
noyance, bad sometimes to cross the street, as persons had
to do last night.
Mr. Daniel Downs, of 14, Glasshouse-street, having
corroborated Mr. Dolby,

Watkins, 303 A, proved being spoken to by Mr. Dolby
and seeing the prisoner annoy geptlemen, one of whom
had to cross Regent-street to avoid her. He has had to
speak to the prisoner several times during the last month,
but to no purpose.
Mr. Knox fined the prisoner 40s. or a month.

WRECK OF A LIVERPOOL STEAMER.--A telegram
was received in Liverpool yesterday from Cadiz, announc-
ing that on Wednesday afternoon the steamer Nile (Capt.
Horsfall), stranded off Trafalgar. The vessel was herself
full of water. The crew had failed to land at Couil on ac-
count of the surf, and had been taken to Cadiz, where they
arrived on the 25th. The Nile was a steamer plying be-
tween Liverpool and Alexandria, and belonged to Messrs.
Moss and Co., Liverpool. All the officers and crew were
saved.

ST. PANCRAS BURIAL GROUND.

Mr. MEVOY asked the Secretary of State for the Home
Department whether he was aware that the Midland Rail-
way Company, having obtained an act (27 and 28 Vic., c.
231) which by its 23d section allowed them to pass a tun-
nel under the old churchyard of St. Pancras (a closed
burying ground) were about to make an open cutting
through said churchyard, thereby disturbing the tombs
and bodies; and whether Government would interfere to
protect the place from such desecration.

Sir G. GREY said inquiry had been made, and it ap-
peared the railway was to be made in a tunnel twelve feet
below, and the upper cutting was to be made to construct
the tunnel. The trustees had refused to sanction the
opening of the ground, and certain arrangements had been
made with the company, to whose proposals they
acquiesced.

A Court of Aldermen was holden yesterday at
Guildhall, the Lord Mayor presiding.

TIIE MURDER IN CANNON-STREET.

The TOWN CLERK (Mr. Woodthorpe) read a let-
ter from Colonel Fraser, the Commissioner of the
City Police, addressed to the Lord Mayor, calling
the attention of the Court to the fact of a murder
of a very atrocious character having been committed
in Cannon-street, and also that at present there did
not appear to be the slightest clue to the perpetrator
of it. Colonel Fraser therefore suggested the advi-
sability of the City offering a reward of £lOO to any
one who would give information that would lead to
the discovery of the murderer ; and he informed the
Court that Messrs. Bevington, the masters of the
unfortunate woman who had lost her life, had
intimated their intention to offer a reward of the
same amount as he had mentioned.
Alderman COPELAND said that the application
was a very unusual one, and he never remembered
a similar one having been made. It appeared to him
that they ought not to establish such a precedent
without due consideration.
Alerman GABRIEL said it appeared to him that
the only question was, whether it was right to do
what was asked. (llear.) A most horrible and
mysterious murder had been committed, and there
appeared to be not the slightest clue to the offender ;
and if the offering of a reward was likely to obtain
any information relating to the murderer, he was of
opinion that it was their duty to offer such reward.
It was well known that the chance of obtaining a
reward did sometimes operate to induce persons to
come forward and give information which they
would otherwise not do, and as it appeared that at
present not the slightest clue had been obtained as
to the person who committed the crime, he thought
the magistrates of the city of London ought to offer
a reward, and he should therefore move that the
application of Colonel Fraser be complied with.
Alderman AIE ell I seconded the motion.
Alderman COPELAND suggested that the matter
should not at all events be dealt with at once, but
that it shoull be referred to a committee for them
to decide what course should be taken.
After a short discussion in which several aldermen

took a part, and Sir R. Carden expressed his opinion
that it was the Government, and not the city of
London, who should offer the reward, strangers
were ordered to withdraw, and upon the re-admis-
sion of the public it was announced that the Court
had come to a resolution that it was not expedient
to comply with the request of Col. Fraser.
• The General Purposes Committee brought up a
report, in which they recommended that an appli-
cation by William Ball, one of the Mansion-house
clerks, for an increase of salary, should not be com-
plied with ; and that with regard to a similar appli-
cation by Arthur Allnutt, another clerk, that his
salary should be increased from £5O to £75 per
annum.

AUSTRIA. AND PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, APRIL 18.
The text of the Prussian reply to the Austrian
despatch of the 7th inst. is published here to-day.

It dwells especially on the admitted movements
of Austrian troops on the Prussian frontier, by
which Prussia was led to take defensive measures,
and says that—" If Count Mensdorff, after the
Emperor had passed his word that no aggression was
intended by Austria, still continues military pre-
parations, it cannot be expected that Prussia, an
equally clear denial of hostile intentions having been
given by the King, should relinquish those defensive
measures which were called forth by the attitude of
Austria.

The Austrian and Prussian Armies.

VIENNA, April 14.

The following comparative statement of the
Austrian and Prussian armies when raised to their
full war strength may not be uninteresting at the
present juncture.
The Austrian army, upon a full war footing (ex-
cluding the men not required for absolute service in
the field, who number 34,000) amounts to 579,000
men, consisting of 431,000 infantry, 57,000 artil-
lery, 106,000 extra corps, drivers, sanitary aids,
ambulance and field-hospital men, &c., and 42,000
cavalry. Deducting from the infantry and the
jagers, the fourth battalions and depot strength
(109,800) men), who remain in the country and the
recruiting districts, the number of the available foot
soldiers amounts to 321,000. Making a similar
deduction from the artillery the extra corps and the
cavalry, the two former could take the field with
77,000 and the latter with 35,700 men, amounting
altogether to 433,700.
The; Prussian army, upon a war footing, includes
all descriptions of infantry, with the reserve regi-
ment of Guards, eight reserve regiments, o 6 substi-
tute battalions and companies (173,0 en) ; first
Landwehr (98,800
men); artillery, extra corps,
and train, with reserve and Landwehr detachments
_
Guards and line cavalry, with 55
class Landwehr (116,000 men), second class of
(105,450 men) ;
37 000 men) • fi
, rst class
0 men), second class Landwehr
Landwehr (28,80
substitute squadrons
together 78,300 ; in all therefore a
(12,500 menp_
Prussia would be compelled to incorporate
force of 566,150
uamdreonn (
Calculating that on account of the strength of
'the first class of the Landwehr (144,000 in-
fantryaAtttos
cavalry), originally
reserve,
above there
Prussiane re would
total have a
clBt net de ilealafdnr from msoriginally intended for garri-
dsout
83,010 men for infantry depots, fthollobwest
10,000 for those of
cavalry, and 104,300 for second class Landwehr,
together 198,310, who would have to be employed
to garrison the principal towns, the 30 fortresses,
including Stettin, Cologne and Deutz, Danzig,
‘l.llagdeburg, Posen, Cohlcnz and Ehrenbreitstein,
Konigsberg, and would be stationed as depots in the
recruiting districts. The available Prussian army
would therefore amount to 367,849 men.

THE UPI.EADON MURDER.—The convict, Charles
Davis, whose execution was fixed for Saturday next,
for the murder of his wife at Upleaden, near Gloucester,
has been reprieved, the official announcement arriving yes_

George Grey, the Home Secretary, and the Judge who
