LATV INTELLIGENCE—this Day

ROLLS' COURT.
ROEBUCK V. LEADER.

On the motion to commit the defendants in this
cause, who are the proprietors of the Sheffield inde-
pendent, before the Master of the Rolls to-day for
publishing certain matters connected with a suit
now pending, in which Mr. ,Roebuck is one of the
parties, his lordship, instead of granting the motion,
ordered that the defendants should thrice publish
au apology. At the same time he advised the de-
fendant to appeal to the Lords Justices.

Her Alajesty the Queen of Holland, his Royal
Highness the Crown Prince of Prussia, and suite visited
the Temple Gardens to-day, and viewed Mr. Brcome's
splendid collection of chrysanthemums, which are now in
the height of beauty.

POLICE REFORM.—There must be something
radically wrong about the management of the metropo-
litan police force. On the one hand, an association is In
course of formation for the purpose of preventing the
men from doing what they ought not to do, by taking
steps to protect the dogs now so unceremoniously
pounced upon in all directions ; and on the other, the
inhabitants of one suburban district have made up their
minds to band themselves together, as a sort of vigi-
lance committee, to supplement the protection which
they pay for, but do not get, from Sir Richard Mayne's
subordinates. The Lambeth Vestry has taken the
matter under special consideration, upon the suggestion of
Mr. Robert Taylor, jun., and it is likely that a vigorous
protest against the continuance of the present state of
things will be speedily launched from that quarter. If
other local bodies would only go and do likewise, it is
possible that in course of time a change may be brought
about. It has been needed long enough, and though
the British ratepayer is, on the whole, a very patient
animal, there are limits to his power of endurance.—

AN OLD CHASUBLE.—There is something touch-
ing in the following anecdote apart from its historical in-
terest. An aged ecclesiastic presented himself at the
cathedral in Avignon, and inquired if they still had an
old black chasuble which ho described with great
minutonesP. The official answered in the affirmative,
and, after some hesitation, he allowed his questioner to
take it in his hands and examine it. The examination
was not of long duration ; he pressed it to his lips
with reverence. Curious to learn what associations
there were connected with the old, worn, chasuble to
kindle so much emotion, the man in charge asked the
venerable old priest what he knew concerning it; where-
upon the priest said it had once belonged to him, and was
made from the last robe worn by Marie Antoinette. He
supported his assertion with so many proofs that the
authorities of the cathedral wore convinced, and the old
chasuble, we aro told, is now carefully put *Arty along
with the other treasures.—Once a Week.

MISSING SHIPS.—The Spirit of the Sea sailed
from Sydney for Hongkong on the sth of March; the
Sulina, from Galatz, sailed from Fahnoutb. for Dingle on

audria, sailed from Queenstown for Glasgow on the 29th
of September, and have not since been heard of.
