POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARL B OROII7G H- S TREET.
AN AMATEUR POLICE CONSTABLE.— Three rough-looking
fellows, named Bryan, Smith, and Sullivan, were charged
before Mr. Knox with loitering for the purpose of commit-
ting a felony.
The prisoners were seen, together with another man not
in custody, in Compton-street last night by a young man, named Wm. Scherer, living in Broad-street, Golden-square,
dodging about u waggon in Wardour-street, and a dog-
cart and railway van in Bond-street, Scherer having fol-
lowed them from place to place, Smith and Sullivan talc-.
ing an active part. At last the prisoners were seen by the
police, and they were then taken into custody.
Sullivan asked Cheney, 87 C, whether he saw him do
anything wrong, and Cheney said that had not a boy
jduolunbpteclhavouettotkfetnhesomraeiltwhianyg.van he (Sullivan) would no

Bryan said that three weeks ago ho came from Now_
haven, where ho was with 50 others discharged from work.
He was no thief, and was on the way to the Vine-street
Station to get a ticket for the workhouse when the other
prisoners said they would show him the way.

Sullivan said he was never in a police-court before, and
was on the way to the police-station to get a ticket for
the workhouse when the police took him.
Mr. Knox said the prisoners conduct was very myste-
rious, and he would have them remanded that the police
might mako inquiries respecting them.

THAMES.
TOBACCO SMUGGLING. EXTRAORDINARY HEAVY
PENALTY.—Wm. Farrant Cheneton, who gave the first
two names only last night, was brought before Mr. Par-
tridge, charged with having in his possession and smug-
gling 122 lbs. of foreign manufactured tobacco and cigars,
which had not paid duty.

Mr. Garner, barrister, on the part of the Comrnissionevs
of Customs, said that under the Customs Consolkfa_
tion Act the prisoner was liable to a penalty of
£lOO, which was the amount sued for in this ca,se.
James Fry, police sergeant, No. 658 A, and Robert
lings, 103 11, constable, were in Lower East Smithfield this
morning at an early hour, and saw the prisoner with a load
on his back. It was a sack coataining something bulky.
The officers stopped the prisoner, and asked him what the
sack contained, to which he replied old pieces of bread,
and the refuse of ships. The sack was opened. It wog
full of tobaoco and cigars. The prisoner said that a roan
over the water gave him the sack and its contents to klarry
for him, and that he was to receive a shilling for his
trouble.

Mr. Partridge said this was a very bad case of smug-
gling, and asked if the prisoner was known ?
Billings and Fry said the prisoner described himself a 3
a ropemaker. They believed he was a sailor, and had
bought the tobacco and cigars from a foreign-going
steamer on the river.

Mr. Partridge fined the prisoner £l.OO, and in default of
payment six months' imprisonment.

LONDON, SATURDAY, DEC. 22, 1866.

Sir JOHN LAWRENCE has been most assiduous in
his efforts of late ; and, in the magnificent displays
he has made, has continued to act in a style worthy
of an Oriental potentate. It is always desirable in
a country like India to have recourse to such mag-
nificence occasionally, for it cannot fail toimpress the
people, and it tends to give the commanding powers
that influence which alone can secure lasting autho-
rity, and establish a sway that rests on better founda-
tions than that of fear or intimidation. At this season
when festivities are all the rage and when amuse-
ments and diversions of all kinds are eagerly sought
after, it may well serve as an entertainment to some
to peruse the glowing descriptions of the great Dur-
bar at Agra. In some respects it seems to rival the
world-renowned talk of the " Arabian Nights," and
the dwellers in our colder clime, surrounded by our
more sedate forms and customs, may be puzzled to
realise the splendid vision here held out to them.
Indeed such an affair as we here comment upon
was an unusual occurrence even for the East, and
in many respects it surpassed the Lahore Durbar of
two years back, both in its intrinsic magnificence
and grandeur, as well as in the character of
its assemblage, which was larger and of a more
important nature. The Governor-General had a
brilliant company around him, and among those
Avila appeared to do honour to the affair were the
Commander-in-Chief, three Lieutenant-Governors,
and various other persons of note. To meet. her
MAJESTY'S representatives there came leading princes

double that number are believed to have perished, there-
fore, to make a suitable provision for the families depen-
dent upon them, about £lOO,OOO will be needed. At the
final distribution of the surplus of the Hartley Fund,
£3,140 was allotted to the districts in which the present
accidents occurred, and this sum is now available towards
the fund now being raised.

The Explosion in North Staffordshire.

The repairs to the pump were completed yester-
day, and the work of pumping the water from the
" sump," and the bottom of the mine was at once
proceeded with. This will probably occupy some
time, and it may be a couple of days before the
" sump" is searched. There have been no more
inquiries for dead on the part of relatives, and the
managers of the colliery appear confident that all
the bodies have been recovered from the mine. The
full extent of the fatality may therefore be consi-
dered to be now known, amounting, as stated yes-
terday, to the loss of 91 lives.
The immediate wants of the widows and orphans
are being relieved by the Rev. M. W. M'llutehin,
and when the Relief Committee are in a position to
estimate the amount of the funds likely to be placed
in their hands they will adopt some plan of per-
manent aid according to the means at their com-
mand. The shape the relief will take is as yet only
talked of, but it will probably take the form of
weekly allowances to widows in proportion to their
families, and the orphans will most likely be sent to
an orphan asylum.
The subscriptions to the local relief fund con-
tinue to come in. Among the fresh contributions
sent to Rev. M. M'Hutchin are £lOO from Mr. C.
Wickstead, Bewdley ; £2O from Miss Child ; and
£lO each from Miss Blunt, Mr. Blunt, and Mr. J.
D. Mort.
A public subscription has been opened at New-
castle-under-Lyme, and since Wednesday night
about £4OO has been collected there. Last night a
meeting was held at Hanley, where a subscription
was also opened. The county fund (for Barnsley
and Talk), started on Wednesday, had reached
£l,lOO yesterday, and a considerable sum is being
raised in small amounts in Birmingham, where a
public meeting, called by the Mayor, was held yes-
terday to open a town subscription.
Mr. Wynne, the Government inspector, has not
concluded his examination of the mine.;

ON SATURDAY, the 29th of December, will
be published, at No. 112, Strand, " THE WEST-
MINSTER GAZETTE," a new Catholic Weekly Paper,
supported by a large number of known and approved
writers. Its two main objects are, first, tho exposition of
Catholic principles on all those great questions—ecclesias-
tical, philosophical, and social—which aro now agitating
the intellect and heart of the country; and, second, a
truthful statement of facts as to the condition, political and
religious, of Catholicism in the various countries of Europe.
Foreign writers of note in France, Italy, Germany, Austria,
Switzerland, and Spain are engaged as contributors to
" The Westminster Gazette." The true interests of Ireland,
its struggles for its unquestionable rights as a Catholic
nation to a Catholic system of Education, shall be dis-
cussed always in a spirit free from the prejudice or passion
of mere political partisanship. An important feature of
the New Paper will be the largo space especially allotted
to reviews of books, both English and foreign, non-
Catholic as well as Catholic.

Orders received by all booksellers and news-agents, and

MANSION-HOUSE RELIEF FUND.

The subscription in the city of London towards
the relief of the widows and orphans of the men who
perished in the recent colliery explosions near Barns-
ley and in North Staffordshire proceeds with, if pos-
sible, increased vigour. During yesterday alone
sums amounting in the whole to about £2,000 were
sent to the Mansion-house, including those returned
by some of the bankers who have kindly consented
to receive donations, and up to last evening the
total amount received by the Lord Mayor from the
beginning was estimated at about £7,800, a week
only having elapsed since the fund there was set on
foot. The great City companies have come nobly
forward on the occasion, and have more than main-
tained their ancient renown for munificent benevo-
lence. Yesterday the Mercers' Company sent £2OO
to the Lord Mayor, the Grocers' Company /200,
and the Merchant Taylors' Company £5O. The
Goldsmiths' Company contributed £lOO a few days
ago, and the Fishmongers' company £52 10s. A sum

of the Coal Exchange, and forwarded to the Lord
Mayor, through Mr. Frederick Thompson, a member
of the Mansion-house Committee. Yesterday Messrs.
