A BAD LODGER.—ROBBING A TILL. Henry
Crosscover, a young man, was brought before Mr.
Paget charged with stealing various sums of money
from a till in the Brunswick Arms publichouse in
Wellclose-square, Whitechapel.
Mr. H. Adolphe Hasleworth, the landlord of the
Brunswick Arms, said the prisoner had been a
lodger in his house fpr some months, and in the
course of that time and not before he had fre-
quently missed cash from his till. His suspicions
of the prisoner were slowly aroused. In conse-
quence of a communication from his barmaid he
deposited 68. 80. in silver and copper monies in
his till on Tuesday night last.
Mr. Paget hearing that another witness would
give evidence against the prisoner requested the
witness to leave the box.
William Skipper, of No. 40, S.nithstreet, Step-
ney, paper hanger, said he marked Bid, 3 sixpences,
and 2 threepenny pieces, which he deposited in Mr.
Hasleworth's till last night. He remained in the
back parlour concealed all night. At half-past
five this morning the prisoner came down stairs.
He saw him look at the clock, say something in
German to himself, go to the kitchen,
come back again, and get over the counter
into the bar. The prisoner then put his
hand into the till, took some money out, and put it
in his pocket. The prisoner hada knife in his hand,
which he did not like the look of, but he was not
to be frightened of a German thief, and he laid hold
of him and gave him into custody. He searched
the prisoner, on whom he found 2s. 6-d. in pence
and halfpence.

'William Coroly, 175 H, said that the prisoner was
given into his custody, and while the last witness
was searching him he said, " Here it is, Mr. Hasle-
worth, and handed to him the marked money."

The evidence of the prisoner having been inter-
preted to him by Mr. Wintjen, the interpreter of
the court, he said he wished the case to be settled
at once.

Mr. Paget—Does he plead guilty or not guilty ?
Mr. Wintjen.—He says he is guilty.
Mr. Haslewnrth recommended the prisoner to
mercy, and said he was a person of respectable
connections.

Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoner to three months'
imprisonment and hard labour.

MARK LANE.

Our market to-day was very scantily supplied with
English wheat coastwise and by land carriage. Selected
samples—the show of which was unusually small—were
held for more money. Low and damp qualities wore in-
active, but not cheaper.
The show of foreign wheat was seasonably good. On
the whole, a fair average business was doing, in most kinds,
at Monday's currency.
Floating cargoes of grain were a slow inquiry, but not
cheaper.

Fine barley was the turn dearer, owing to its scarcity.
Grinding and distilling sorts supported former terms.
No change took-place iii the value of malt. The supply
was tolerably good.

Oats were a slow inquiry;'itt the late decline in value.
The show of foreign was large.
Beans and peas were quite as dear as last week.
Both English and foreign pour was very firm in price.

round the body, while the requisite resisting power is supplied by
the Moe-Main Pad and Patent Lever, fitting with so much ease
and closeness that it cannot be detected, and may be worn during
sleep. A descriptive circular may be had, and the truss, which

THE SUB-EDITOR IN HIS DEN.—There is the
greasy date-box on the chimney-piece, the dingy old maps
hung against the wall, the clumsy volumes of the "file'
piled in hopeless confusion in the rack, little bookcase,
stuffed with works of reference—Dictionaries, Peerage;
Encyclopaedias —the labyrinth of speaking-tubes gathered
on all sides of the sub-editor's seat, and the huge heaps of
old newspapers, over which the unwary visitor stumbles.
This, far more than the room of the chief leader-writer
or of any other member of the staff, is the real heart and
centre of the great machine whoso influence is felt all over
England, and the man who labours here is he who ap-
proaches most nearly to the popular ideal of a newspaper
editor. It is into his hands that the epistles of "Pater-
familias," " An Indignant Traveller," "A Volunteer," "A
Constant Subscriber to your valuable Journal," and the
other variously named writers who look to the Press for the
redress of their grievances, fall; ho it is who knows the night
before what the paper of the next morning is going to con-
tain; who decided whether the "copy" which poor Flimsy
the penny a-liner has dropped into the box with fear and
trembling an hour before, shall be accepted and paid for,
or flung carelessly into the waste-basket ; who writes the
short stinging notes at the end of letters of, disagreeable
or wearisome correspondents, which aro invariably signed

SALMON FISHERY IN THE FAR WEST.

And now all the traps are set, and the watchers
anxiously look out for the appearance of the first salmon.
Their sharp eyes full soon detect the silvery fish, and
the welcome tidings of the salmon's arrival spread with
telegraphic rapidity. The revels are at once abandoned,
and we now see stalwart savages standing on every
available point of rock armed with formidable three-
pointed barbed spears ; their eager eyes are pouring into
the bubbling waters, on the look out for salmon. Once
descried, the salmon's chance of escape is small indeed ;
the unerring spear is deeply buried in its flesh, the
barbed points hold on with the tenacity of fish-hooks, and
the victim is dragged out of the water to flap and flounder
itself to death, surrounded by the delighted throng. The
capture of the first salmon is the signal for a general re-
jeieing ; the "medicine men" go through the mor;t weird
:Ind absurd incantations to please, as they think, the
"Great Spirit," and thus induce him to send au abundant
supply of fish, an 1, what to these impostors is of lar
greater import, to convince the assembled tribes that their
medicine-making has been pre-eminently successful. The
men and women dance and shriek, and give vent to dells,
war-whoops, and other uncanny sounds in sheer mad-
ness of delight. As a general rule, the first sal-
mon is presented to the Hudson's Bay Company's
chief trader, and twice in my life I have partaken
of the " first salmon," and I can bear truthful
testimony that its quality was equal to the best salmon,
the United Kingdom produces. The fishery business
now commences in right good earnest. The salmon_ day
after day arrive in numbers not to be computed, and I am
not in the slightest degree overstating tho truth by sa:yiug
that, when the "run" is at its best it would be aln".ost an
impossibility to throw a stone into the eddies underneath
the falls without striking a salmon. I have stood -upon
the rocks, by the side of the " salmon baskets," and tried
in vain to count the number of sal►non that were
leaping clear out of the water at one and the same
time. And it is at such times as these that we wit-
ness the extraordinary success of the redskins' basket
system of fishing. The poor salmon, in their untiring
efforts to master the falls, and thus get into the mountain
streams to deposit their eggs, far too frequently for their
own safety jump short of the height they desire to achieve,
and then are instantly washed back into the wide-mouthed
baskets. Often and often I have seen six, and sometimes
as many as eight. salmon caged at a time ; and, start-
ling as the statement may sound to persons in this coun-
try, I have myself known over three hundred salmon
landed from one basket betwixt sun-up and sun-down.
These fish vary in weight from 201 b. to 751.b.—Land
and Water. _

PANDLES, GLYCERINE, and SOAP.—A
N..) Gold Medal was awarded at the Paris Exhibition to
Price's Patent Candle Company Limited, for " Candles,
Glycerine, and Soap"—the only one to any British exhibi-
tor for these three things combined. The chief Candles of
the Company are their " BELMON'TINE" and "PRICE'S
PARAFFINE" for those who must have the ex reme
transparency of pure Paraffine • their "GOLD MEDAL
PALMITINE" and " SHERWOOD PALMITINE," for
those who, while desiring candles of great beauty, require
also steady brilliancy of light and freedom from smoke
and smell; their good old-fashioned "BELMONT SPERM
AND WAX," and "BEST" "No. 2," " No. 3," and
"BATTERSEA" COMPOSITES for those who require
only perfect burning without caring for transparency; and
their "CHAMBER" Candles, hard, and of small diameter,
to avoid the dripping of grease when cared. Thei r new
toilet soap, "PRICE'S SOLIDIFIE GLYCERINE" con-
tains half its w€ ight of their distilled Glycerine, and should
be the one toilet soap in use, especially in winter, because of
its admirable effects in preventingchappingof the hands and
face. There ought also to be in every house one of the sealed
bottles of their patent distilled Glycerine, known every-
where as " PRICE'S GLYCERINE," two or three dr ps
of which, mixed with three or four times as much water,
will in a day or two remove chapping and roughness of
skin, whether of adults or children ; and when this is
effected, a single drop of the undiluted Glycerine applied
once a day will prevent the recurrence of the chapping and
roughness. insist on having " Price's Glycerine" in the
Company's own sealed bottles, quantities of cheap impure
Glycerine being now sold in the shops because of the low
rate at which the dealers can buy it in comparison with
Price's. All the good medical authorities abroad as well
as at home order PRICE'S" as the only Glycerine to be
used.

" PRICE'S NEW PATENT NIGHT LIGHTS" for
burning in the wide glasses, are believed to be the very
best Night Lights made. " PRICE'S CHILD'S NIGHT
LIGHTS" are known everywhere, and are excellent for
burping without a glass.

PHEASANTS, PARTRIDGES, and
POULTRY.—Landed Proprietors, Gentry, &c., of
the United Kingdom wishing to rear Game for 1868 and
to be successful, are respectfully asked to send six stamps
for Mr. CHAMBERLIN'S new BOOK, containing 300
certificates of the utility of his FOOD. J. 0. supplies the
Crowned Heads of England and France and the chief of
the aribtocracy. By the use of his "Spanish Meal" any
quantity of birds can be raised.
The hundreds of thousands of heads of Game reared on
my system during the last ten years proves its utility ; the
loss from every cause has not averaged three to the hun-
dred. Gapes and Rotlp (the two most fatal diseases which
attack game) the birds have been and always aro free
from. This is attributable to their robust constitution
and excellent condition. Pheasants fed on my food show
their beautiful plumage with hardness and closeness of
feather to the greatest advantage; they cannot be sur-
passed.
The magnificent Foreign and English Pheasants at the
Zoological Society's Gardens, London, and his Imperial
Majesty's Pleasantry at Compiegne and St. Germains, are
fed with my food.

street, Norwich, England.

HOSTILITIES ON THE RIVER PLATE.

Lord LYVEDEN moved for returns of the accounts of
hostilities which had recently taken place on the River
Plate.

In reply, the Earl of M&LMESBURY said it was
very difficult to ascertain what, or if any, Eng-
lishmen were detained in Lopez's camp. They
had confined themselves to give directions to the Minister
at Buenos Ayres to inquire into the state of the English-
men incarcerated. All therefore they could do at
present for these English subjects was to make these
efforts.

The subject then dropped.

it cannot be detected, and may be worn during sleep. A

A DISCHARGED WORKMAN'S It EVENGE.—lienry
Burden, mason, was charged with wilfully
damaging stone steps in an unfinished house in
Upper Grosvenor Gardens, Pimlico. William
Herne, carpenter, said that on the previous evening,
a little after five, his attention was called to the
prisoner, whom he saw knocking the stone step
with a brick. The prisoner appeared as though lie
had been drinking, but he knew perfectly
well what he was doing. Witness asked him. why
he was damaging the step, when the prisoner replied,
"'You don't think I would do such a thing, do
you ?" A constable was sent for, and the prisoner
given into custody. The prisoner had been em-
ployed on the works, but was discharged about five
we.ks ago for neglect of duty.
Thomas Holmes, a boy engaged upon the build-
ings, deposed to seeing the prisoner strike the stone
steps very violently several times with a brick.
The prisoner had no business whatever on the
premises.

Police-constable 168 B said he took the prisoner
into custody, and upon telling him what he was
charged with, he said that he was merely trying the
nature of the stone.

Mr. R. G. Walter, builder, said the damage done
to the steps amounted to about £8 ; fourteen blows
in all had been struck. The prisoner had been in
his employ, but the whole of the masons struck in
November last, and witness's firm had done with-
out them for a few months. He believed the pri-
soner committed the damage as a trade " spite."
The. prisoner—l beg your pardon. It was not
on that account that I damaged your property. I
own I did damage a few things, but I had a little to
drink, and I am very-sorry for it.

Mr. Ingham—l think this a most deliberate,
malicious outrage. I shall order you to be impri-
soned for two months with hard labour.

PEACE MAKING AND PEACE BREAKING.—WiIIiarn
Nichol], a labourer, was brought before Mr. Benson
charged with violently and savagely assaulting
Police-constable Dewell, 474 K.
Last night at a very late hour the policeman
heard the breaking of glass and the screams of a
woman in a house in Bath-street, Bromley.
He hastily summoned another policeman to
his aid, and they entered the house, which
was a scene of riot and confusion. Men were shout-
ing, women calling out murder, and children cry-
ing. The prisoner, who was intoxicated, and the
cause of this disorder, was in his room on the floor
with his wife, with whom he was engaged in a
violent struggle, his hand twisted in the
hair of her head, and kneeling upon her.
Her screams were terrific, and blood was
issuing from her nose and mouth. The police con-
stables pulled the prisoner off his wife, and remon-
strated with him on his brutality. He was in a
violent passion, and threatened to exterminate the
constables and his wife. Dewell and his brother
officers made peace between the prisoner and his
wife, put the room in tolerably good order, and
were leaving the house, when the prisoner
came behind Dowell and fairly kicked him
down the stairs. Before Dewell could recover him-
self at the foot of the stairs the prisoner sprang
upon him, kicked Lim A second time, and struck

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which pzovokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,
