POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

WESTMINSTER.

DOG STEALING.—John Thompson, 35, painter,
was charged before Mr. Arnold with stealing a dog
valued £5, the property of a lady residing at 6,
Arlington-street, Piccadilly.

Mrs. Laura Millicent Holyoake said—l was at
Hyde-park-colier yesterday, at five o'clock, and
had with me a valuable little dog. I crossed to go
over to Malkin-street, and was just turning down
Grosvenor-place when I missed my dog, and asked
my maid if she saw it. I had just seen a man pass
with a short pipe, and on turning to look I saw the
dog's tail and legs from underneath the mati%i arm.
My maid and I overtook him, and we seized the
dog; he held it quit 3 tight, and said, " It is not
your's; it is mine." I got the dog out of his arms
with the assistance of my maid, and I sent an
orangewoma,n for a policeman, and three came.
The prisoner kept saying the dog was not mine—he
had forty dogs.

Cross-exainine•l--I held your coat while the
woman went for a policeman. You were not sober.
Prisoner—l picked up the dog to prevent its being
run over by a carriage at the Duke of Wellington's
Arch. I meant to bring the dog to the station. I did
not know it belonged to the lady, and only walked
a few paces with it.

James Brain, 124 A—l was on duty at ITyde-
park-corner, and was fetched to take the prisoner
into custody. He said the dog came to his legs
and he picked it up. He was slightly under the
influence of liquor. He has given a right address,
and seems a respectable man from inquiries.
The police stated that the prisoner was known to
them as a respectable man, and had been a house-
holder for 20 years.

Mr. Arnold said it was a case of extreme suspi-
cion, but he did not think the prisoner intended to
steal the dog, although if the lady had not seen him
with it it might never have been seen again. After
the respectable character he had been given he
would not convict him, but order him to be bound
over to keep the peace and be of good behaviour
for six months.

THE FENIAN ARREST ON BOARD THE

ORLINA.

The consul passenger, Lionel Granville, who was
arrested on board the Oriana on Monday, upon
the supposition that he. was Captain Deasy, or,
at any rate, that he was implicated in the
Manchester outrage in September last, has
now been released from custody. Granville '
went on board the Oriana as a consul passenger
at the Italian port of Leghorn, and during the pas-
sage from thence his conduct and conversation gave
rise to the supposition he was a prominent member
of the Fenian Brotherhood. Intelligence to that
effect had been communicated to the police, and on
the Oriana's arrival at London-bridge a body of
the Thames police, in two boats, followed the
ship up the river, and several detectives at
the &AMC time boarded the vess.24 front the shore
side. Granville was taken into custody, and pri-
vately conveyed to the Leman-street police-station,
Goodman's-fields, Whitechapel. Communications
were at once made by telegram to Manchester, and
detectives from thence were quickly on the spot ; bat
they failed to recogniSe him either as Capt. Deasy
or Kelly ; and, after a private examination, Gran-
ville was discharged from custody, no evidence
being forthcoming to implicate him with any of the
Fenian outrages. He is entirely indebted to his
own conduct and statements for his arrest and the
implications connected therewith.

The Manchester police, according to the Exa-
miner and Times, appear to entertain no doubt that

the man apprehended at London Bridge, and who
gives the name of Lionel .Granville, is a man
who was in Manchester recently, passing under
that name, and having no supposed con-
nection with Fenianism. He was, •as stated
in some London reports of his apprehensioni

in Manchester •at the time of the attack on the
van," but he was never suspected of being a.parti-
cipant in the attack. About a week after that
event ho was engaged in the Manchester police
forceon trial, and was discharged,as he did not give
satisfaction.

THE FRENCH DEMOCRATS AND THE

FEIVIAZV,S.

The limes of this morning, at the request of Mr
Felix Pyat, publishes the address of the French De-
mocrats to their brethern in England and Ireland.
They declare that the three convicts at Manchester
were condemned, not for killing a policeman, but
for having rescued two patriot chiefs, and for
having done that which no Government can
pardon—risen in insurrection against tyranny.
The address received the following signa-
tures :—Albert, ancien membre du Gouvernment
Provisoire, ancien representant du peuple,
Seine ; Greppo, ancien representant du peuple,
Rhone ; Ferdinand Gambon, ancien represen-
taut du peuple, Nievre ; Malardser, ancien, re-
presentant du peuple, Nievre ; Collet, ancien

Sonat ; Charpentier, Professeur ; Villeneuve, Doc-
teur en Medecin ; Chavelet, Docteur en Droit ;

ROCHDALE, 6th.—The market for flannel to-day
has been flat. There was a meagre attendance of
buyers, and but small selections of goods were pur-
chased. The general feeling in the trade is indica-

tive of slackness for the next few markets till the
accounts for the past year are settled. The mann-
facturers:atc scarcely so well employed as they were
a short time ago, manufacturers showing great care
not to overstock the market. The Yorkshire pods
trade remains quiet, and the same may be said as to
wool. Prices of both goods and wool are without
change since last week.

POSTAL CONTRACTS.—The contracts just con-
cluded between the Postmaster-General and various
steamship companies for the carriage of mails to Anierica,
gave rise to a large amount of official correspondence be-
tween the Treasury, the Postmaster-General, and the re-
spective companies interested. This correspondence,
which appears as a Parliamentary paper of 61 pages,
shows that there are at present four regular mails
per week between this country and the United States,
conveyed respectively by the North Gorman Lloyd,
the Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia, the Montreal
Ocean Steamship Company, and by the ships of Messrs.
Cunard, Burns, and Alaciver. From a letter addressed
by the Duke of Montrose (as Postmaster-General) to the
Lords of the Treasury, it appears that the last-mentionod,
commonly called the Cunard line, is most used for cor-
respondence between the two countries, "which is evident
from the fact that 46 per cant. of the whole international
correspondence from this country to the United States,
and 50 per cent. of the international correspondence from
the United States to this country, are carried by this
line." The correspondence is regularly despatched by the
first mail made up after it is posted, so that the cor-
respondence sent by the Cunard steamers must be
specially written for this line. It appears, moreover,
that during the present year twenty-six out of thirty-
five mails despatched from Queenstown to New York on
Sunday were delivered in that city on or before Thursday
in the following week, and thirty-eight out of forty-two
homeward mails despatched from the United States on
Wednesday arrived in time for delivery in London and
the principal towns of the United Kingdom on or before
the morning of Monday in the next week but ono after
the date of despatch. The same letter observes "that no
such regularity of communication has hitherto been
afforded by the other lines." At the close of the present
year the contract with Messrs. Cunard and Co. will expire,
and as it has been decided that the British Government
shall for the future provide only for the outward mails,
tenders were advertised for by the Post-office, and four
were received. The companies tendering required from 11
and a half to 14 days for the voyage, and the. Duke of
Montrose considered that the acceptance of those tenders
would expose correspondence to an unnecessary amount
of delay, and the changes which would follow on the
acceptance of these tenders would be—(l) a reduction of
accommodation from the let of January next so far ea the
outward mails are concerned; (2) a change in the practice
of the mercantile community with regard to those mails;
(3) absolute uncertainty as to the homeward mails; (4)
the loss of the advantages which the department or the
public 'derives from sortation; and (5) the certainty that
as the sea postage on the articles conveyed has to bo paid.
to those who convey the outward mails, no increase in
the quantities so conveyed will bring any profit to the

department. Messrs. Cunard and Co. declined to fill
up the advertised form of tender, but expressed their
willingness to perform a weekly service between Queens-
town and New York, under certain conditions—td
£120,000 per annum if required to touch at Efalifax, and
£95,000 when no longer required to do so. This is a re-
daction of .Z 33,000 per annum on the present annual. sub-
sidy received by this company. The Lords of the Trea-
sury eventually empowered the Postmaster-General to
offer to Messrs. Cunard and Co. the sum of £30,000 for
the carriage of these mails during 12 mouths, which offer
was finally accepted by that firm on the 4th of November,
and will take effect on Saturday next.—Pall Mall Gazette.

LADYRRTISEMENT.)—Avoid Mediciues: they always aggravate
chronic complaints: but Du Barry's delicious health-restoring
Revalenta Arabica Food, which yields three times the nourish-
ment of the best meat, saves 50 times its cost in other remedies,
and invariably restores perfect digestion, strong nerves, sound
lungs, healthy liver, pure blood, refreshing sleep, functional
regularity, am, energy to the most disordered or enfeebled. We
extract a few out of 68,000 cures ;—" The Pope's health restored
by Du Barry's Food. Cure No. 68,413. "Rome, July 21, 1866.
—The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since,
abandoning all other remedies, he has confined himself entirely
to Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, of which he consumes
a plateful at every meal. It has produced a surprisingly bene-
ficial effect on his health, and his Holiness cannot praise this excel
lent food too highly." From the "Gazette du Midi, July 25 Cure
