This Hospital, founded in the year 1828, the first to estab-
lish the principle of free admission to the sick poor, without
the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is wholly de-
pendent for support on voluntary contributions andl gacies.
It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
Jestitute sick has for a oonsiderable period averaged between
1,000 and 4,000 weekly.
The Committee earnestly solicit the ASSISTAIsICE of the
benecolent, as the premises of this Hospital are capable of
containing several hundred more beds, had the Committee
the requisite funds to maintain them.

and a questionable one ; but, a - nli-
knows, America has already furnished kain e iirthyS
contributions to universal literature. Storey, Xent,
and Wheaton are respectfully cited, and are re-
ceived as authorities by English lawyers. The
poems of Longfellow, Briant, and Edgar Allan Poe
are as household words among us. Fenimore
Cooper's novels are read, though nearly a generation
has passed away since they first appeared. Mrs.
Beecher Stowe fairly took us by storm when he
published " Uncle Tom's Cabin ; " while the
histories of Prescott, Bancroft, and Motley are, and
will long remain, standard works, without which
no library can be called complete. It is to be hoped
that English authors will continue to agitate the
question, and will so agitate it that before long we
may see America added to the number of States
with whom a convention has been concluded under
the powers which our Legislature has already placed
at the disposal of the Executive.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MANSION-HOUSE.

ASSAULTING THE POLlCE.—Francis Allen and Fanny
Ellis were charged, before Mr. Alderman Finnis, with as
Faulting a police-constable under the following circum-
stances :

City Constable 853 said that about 12 o'clock on Satur-
day night he saw the female prisoner, who was a prosti-
tute, in Bishopsgate-street Without, and he desired her
to go away. She refused, and when he endeavoured to
move her on she caught hold of his hand in her teeth and
bit him severely. He then took hold of her, when she
threw herself down, screaming and biting him on the leg.
There was a large crowd collected, and the male prisoner
attempted to rescue the female from him. He struck the
witness on the ear and knocked him down twice. Another
constable came up, and he took him into custody, when
the prisoner attempted to escape. The female prisoner
was very violent, and it required two constables to take
her to the station.
Another constable deposed that he found the female
prisoner struggling on the ground, but he saw nothing of
the assault.
The prisoners both denied the charge, and the female
said that the first witness knocked her down without any
provocation. •
They were fined 10s. each, or in default seven days.
EMBBZZLEMENT.—Richard Waddington was charged
with embezzling £416 14s. 2d., the property of his em-
ployers. . . .

From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner was agent
for a large flax warehouse in Manchester, and that although
his salary was only £2O his income averaged £8 a week.
On the 10th inst. a letter was received by the manager of
the firm from the prisoner, admitting that he had em-
bezzled a large amount of money, and praying his inter-
cession, stating at the same time that he would pay £3 a
week off his commission, and sell his furniture to meet his
defalcation.
' •

Mr. Lewis, senior, attended for the prosecution, and two
cases of embezzlement to the amount of £76 were fully
proved. The other charged were not proceeded with, and
the prisoner was committed for trial .
London, England, 1866-10-15

Drury-lane Theatre.

A very crowded.audience assembled on Saturdai
evening to witness the debut of Mr. H. Talbot,
gentleman who, we are told, has achieved consider•

able reputation in the provinces from his ShaksPe;
rian performances. The selection of the part
Macbeth was a very courageous act, especially 11
during the last fortnight we have two gentlemen 0.1
established reputation each alternately taking the
part of the Thane of Cawdor and Macduff---vii:'
Mr. Phelps and Mr. B. Sullivan. Mr. Talbot 15
young, with a well-set figure, an intelligent c 01111•
tenance, full eye, and his gestures are expressin
and his rendering of it marked by intelligence an
taste. With respect to his performance of Macbeth'
it partook of the conventional style ; and on Satur-
day evening last Mr. Talbot seemed too apprehen-
sive of not overstepping certain limits he bad marked
out for himself. The dagger soliloquy was well
given, but in the banquet scene there was a want °i
emotion that sent the part down to the ordinal
level. We prefer taking another opportunity
before expressing a decided opinion 11Pcdi
the ability of Mr. Talbot as a tragedian, as We
take it, a first night is not a fair test of the pewer3
of any artist. However we have the pleasing dill
of holding out the highest encouragement to Mr'
Talbot ; and we hope it will be our pleasing duty t°
record his complete success.
On Saturday evening next the long-promised
" Faust" will be produced ; and, if rumour can b 0
believed, the piece will rival in splendour all the
gorgeous spectacles that have been produced even 3t
Old Drury.

Naval and Military Intelligence.

The screw sloop Rosario, 11, 673 tons, 150-horse
power (unarmoured), Commander L. H. Versturme,
was put out of commission and the crew paid off in
the Chatham steam basin on Saturday morning,
under the superintendence of Capt. W. R. Hall,
superintendent of the dockyard, and the officials
connected with the Chatham and Sheerness Steam
Reserve. On the crew being paid off, William
Flashinan, ship's cook, was awarded a silver medal
and £lO by the Admiralty for long service and good
conduct. During the time the Rosario was iu
commission—upwards of four years--she was at-
tached to the North American squadron, and was
employed chiefly in the West Indies. A consider-
able number of the officers as well as the crew who
left England in her have been invalided or trans-
ferred to other vessels, Commander J. S. Graham,
who originally commissioned the Rosario, relinquish-
ing the command within a short time after she left.
The crew were paid off in a very expeditious and
orderly manner, the majority at once proceeding on
the usual leave of absence granted by the Admiralty.
The Rosario goes into the third division of the
Steam Reserve, where she will await orders as to
her final disposal. Before she can again be placed
in commission she will require some extensive
repairs to both hull and machinery.
The Bristol, 31, screw frigate, Captain L. E. 11.
Somerset, left Spithead for Plymouth, for repairs to
her machinery, which, if found not to require much
detention of the ship, will give the crew an oppor-
tunity of having leave granted them. She was
towed from Spithead clear of the Isle of Wight by
the Lucifer, Government steamtug.
The Bnscawen, training ship for boys, Comman-
der Cockcraft, left Spithead on Saturday in tow of
the Gladiator, Capt. D'O. D'A. Aplin, for Portland,
where she is in future to be stationed, .nstead of
Southampton water.

The Surly, gunboat, has been carrying out some
experiments with torpedoes in Harwich harbour.

ANNALS of a QUIET NEIGHBOURHOOD

Thirst and Blackest, 13, Great 31arlb:)ronzli-street.
London, England, 1866-10-15

Witness —Not at that time; there was nothing about

The prisoner - I deny being drunk. I could not pull the
horse in. I can steer a ship very well, but I could not
steer the horse ; it got out of its course a point or two, and
would not obey the helm.
Mr. Paget—ls there any doubt about the prisoner being
intoxicated ?

Nicholas—None whatever, sir. There is a large erection
in the middle of the street, and he drove right upon it, and
both shafts were smashed up in a moment.

Mr. Pagot said it was fortunate for the prisoner that he
had put no one in dangeibut himself, and that there were
no vehicles about at the time. He would take into consi-
deration that the prisoner brought a severe punishment
upon himself by his recklessness and inebriety, and that
being so he would discharge him, but in doing so he must
say it was not very creditable for the master of a ship to
be drunk on a Sunday night, and to drive recklessly
along a pulAic thoroughfare.

A NEW LIFE OF GARRICK.—Mr. Percy Fitzgerald
promises, in January, a new and complete Life of David
Garrick, iu which his claims to recognition for social gifts,
privato worth, generosity and virtue, as well as
Thatfor

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MANSION-HOUSE.

ASSAULTING THE POLlCE.—Francis Allen and Fanny
Ellis were charged, before Mr. Alderman Finnis, with as
vaulting a police-constable under the following circum-
stances :

City Constable 853 said that about 12 o'clock on Satur-
day night he saw the female prisoner, who was a prosti-
tute, in Bishopsgate-street Without, and he desired he r
to go away. She refused, and when he endeavoured to
move her on she caught hold of his hand in her teeth and
bit him severely. lie then took hold of her, when she
threw herself down, screaming and biting him on the leg.
There was a large crowd collected, and the male prisoner
attempted to rescue the female from him. Ile struck the
witness on the ear and knocked him down twice. Another
constable came up, and he took him into custody, when
the prisoner attempted to escape. The female prisoner
was v'67 violent, and it required two constables to take
her to the station.

Another constable deposed that ho found the female
prisoner struggling on the ground, but he saw nothing of
the assault. _ _ _ .

_The prisoners both denied the charge, and the female
said that the first witness knocked her down without any
provocation.

THE STRAND UNION, says the London Review,
has a large amount a decayed human refuse
always in store. For ever hearseing off some of it, more
yet comes to hand to await its cemetery turn. Under the
best of circumstances, sores and sickness, internal disease
and external maiming, are hard to bear. They who
have nursed where all that wealth could command
and affectionate service offer, know yet what it
is to watch by day and night for one moment's
light of ease, to dispel the clouds of weariness
and pain which have made the sufferer's life mise-
rable. But when suffering present, and painful to body
and soul, comes upon the lot of those to whom all life has
been a struggle ; when it is to be endured under shelter
grudged, food stinted, medical aid made cheapened piece-
work, medicines prescribed by contract, left to be adminis-
tered by the ignorant, and very often by the drunken ;
when the sick pauper becomes but one drop of a large lake
of sickness pumped into theparochial reservoir to be tended,
comforted, or any way aided, by an ill-appointed live
machinery of the coarsest and least sympathetic material;
when the dying are for ever in company with the dead,
and the lot of all tends—for any effort made to prevent it—
to more suffering and then death, the picture is one revolt-
ing to humanity.
Tne quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 25.25 per XI sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of S 3
10Id, per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 3710 ths per cent. dearer in London IWO raris.

of descriptive power—it is a really useful compila-
tion of facts ; and though its author's opinions and
sympathies are violently on the side of the North,
his statements are for the most part fair, and we see
no reason to doubt his statistics. As a book of re-
ference on the American war it is of some value to
the English reader." This admission on the part of
the Times to one whose sympathies are violently on
the side of the North may be taken as a strong
proof of the value of the work in question.
General Dix will soon tak3 Mr. Bigelow's place
as Minister from the United States in Paris. Mr.
Bigelow has resided there for five years, first as
Consul, afterwards as Minister. The Debats
speaks of him in the following words :--" Charged
to represent his country at the moment when it
was still torn by civil war, subsequently mixed up
in the difficult negotiations occasioned by our occu-
pation of Mexico, M. Bigelow has passed through
difficult circumstances, and never did a diplomatic
post less resemble a sinecure ; but he was better
suited than most people for this difficult situation,
because he combined with love of his own country
an exact knowledge of ours, and sincere sympathy
with France. Nevertheless, after so prolonged a
stay in Europe, M. Bigelow felt a very natural
desire to revisit his own country, transformed by
such considerable events, and in July last he begged
the President to give him a successor before the
autumn should be over. That successor is now
named. Genera Dix played an honourable part
n the civil war, and we hope, iu the interest both
of France and of the United States, that he will
worthily replace the excellent and really dis-
tinguished man who now leaves us."
The Royal Mail steamship Lagos, which arrived
in the Mersey on Tuesday night, brings the satis-
factory intelligence that the coloured teachers in
charge of the missionary station at Bonny, established
about twelve months ago by the Rev. Dr. Crowther,
Bishop of the Niger, have been eminently successful ;
their main efforts have been directed to the rising
generation, many of whom can already read the
scriptures fluently, besides attaining other accom-
plishments tending towards civilisation. The
steamer Thomas Bazley, belonging to the West
African Trading Company, has returned to Brass
River from an expedition up the Niger, and reports
that the success in trade of the persons in charge
of the several factories established there last year
has been beyond expectation.
By telegraph we learn that the three ships had

arrived at Nicolajewsk (Amour) from Hamburg,

with material for the construction of the Russo-
American telegraph. All the material was in good
condition. The following despatch was received at
St. Petersburgh last Tuesday, dated Ochotsk, Sept.
27 :—" The construction of the Russo-American
telegraph line is rapidly progressing. The line is
being carried to Nicolajewsk simultaneously from.
the Russian and American sides. The erection of
the telegraph poles is partly completed."

Notwithstanding the dry weather the disease has not
decreased, and the accounts from most districts, especially
from Yorkshire, aro very unfavourable. The supplies of
potatoes on sale are moderately extensive. The trade is
steady, at full prices. Last week's import was 28 bags

Picking having been brought to a close the great de-
ficiency in the crop has become apparent. On the whole
the yield is not above half that of last year. For all kinds
the trade has been very firm, at enhanced rates, and the
tendency of prices is still in an improved direction. Last
week's imports were 187 bales from Antwerp, 92 Boulogne,

EMBEZZLEMENT.—Richard Waddington was charged
with embezzling £416 14s. 2d., the property of his em-
ployers.

From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner was agent
for alarge flax warehouse in Manchester, and that although
his salary was only £2O his income averaged £8 a week.
On the 10th inst. a letter was received by the manager of
the firm from the prisoner, admitting that he had em-
bezzled a large amount of money, and praying his inter-
cession, stating at the same time that he would pay £3 a
week off his commission, and sell his furniture to meet his
defalcation.

Mr. Lewis, senior, attended for the prosecution, and two
cases of embezzlement to the amount of £76 were fully
proved. The other charges were not proceeded with, and
the prisoner was committed for trial .

ANGLING.

THE TWEED AND TEVIOT.—Last week the water
has been in good order for angling, although one or two of
the days were too bright for salmon fishing. The number
of salmon which have reached the upper parts of the
Tweed is not so large as was anticipated, and until we
have another flood anglers will not have the sport they
were wont to have in the autumn. In the Floors Water,
the Duke of St Albans has angled one or two days during
the week, but has not had much sport. On Wednesday,
Colonel Brainston killed three salmon in the Floors cast ;
and at Sprouston on Monday Dr. Geldart killed one weigh-
ing 211 b., and on Wednesday one 171 b., and another (Jll3.
ery little sport is being got in trout-fishing, owing to the
chilly nature of the weather.—Scots man.

GALASHIELS.—There has been but indifferent
sport in this district so far as the season has gone. A few
fish have been captured, bnt only in sufficient numbers to
keep hope from dying out. On Tuesday Mr. p.l,Vine, of
Newcastle, has had the good fortune to kill a magnificent
fish in the Ca•idonfoot Pool. It weighed 33 lb., and mea-
sured 3 feet 4 inches in length and 2 feet 1 inch in girth.
The same gentleman killed other two fish this week. The
river has again fallen, and the water is clear. Sport is not
likely to improve until we have a fresh flood.

INNERLEITHEN.—Since the last flood on the 28th
and 29th ult. anglers have had but poor sport. The shoals
of fish that ascended after the flood were apparently not
large, and their numbers were soon reduced by poachers.
The river was frequently swept last week with nets, and
cleeks have been used with success. On Saturday last
fish were being sold in the town at 4id. per lb. On Tues-
day, which was observed as a general holiday in the dis-
trict, there were seen flpating down the river branches of
trees and other rubbish, which it was supposed bad been
thrown in for the purpose of "hauling" the fish—that is,
to frighten them to the sides so that they might be within
easy reach of the c/eOirs. SOme thorns were recently
thrown into the river to prevent the working of the nets,
but most of these have again been removed. Amid so much
poaching the fair angler has no chance. We have before
referred to the expediency of the winter police being
sooner stationed on the river. During October, when the
river is not under special supervision, a considerable num-
ber of fish is annually destroyed.

THE CLYDE. --- Notwithstanding the prevailing
dull muggy weather, the Clyde and its tributaries aro still
affording good sport to anglers, particularly on the upper
waters. On Thursday Mr. Alexander Bolton made a fine
basket of 121 b. with the fly near Abbington. Among his
take were two fine grayling, weighing 11.1 b. each. Another
gentleman, on the same day, near Culter Water, succeeded
in landing 81b. Trouting has been very good on the
Calder (east) during the season ; and on the Avon the rod
has been also plied with success of late. An unusual num-
ber of salmon have already been seen running the water
at Blantyre.

INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT•

The Telegraph, referring to the paper sent by
Mr. Anthony Trollope to the Social Science Con-
gress, says if America is anxious to build up a
native literature, she would do well to remember
her literary workmen more highly than has been
her wont ; but, in order to give them an adequate
return for their services, she must protect their in-
terests in England, and hence she must also protect
the interest of British authors within her own
boundaries. Such an expedient, one is told, is rank
protectionism. -If literature cannot flourish without
artificial support, it must be content not to flourish
at all. That argument goes to the root of the
,sub-
ject, and the Telegraph answers it by a point-blank
denial of the statement on which it rests. Thaetrtee r .

The Post says it is difficult to see why forty-two
years should precisely satisfy the just claims of an
author to the produce of his brain. If "justice
to the author "—to use Mr. Trollope's words —" can
demand no more " than this, it would certainly be
as well if it were demonstrated why it can demand
as much. However, there is a tendency in human

flashes the intelligence that such a convention
has been ratified.

The Standard shares Mr. Trollope's astonishment
at the continued willingness of an intelligent and
wealthy people to lie under the reproach of thus
gratifying their literary tastes by poaching on their
neighbours' preserves. Even if they had nothing
to give in return their policy would be an unworthy
