DOUBTFUL CHARGE. - Sarah Jane Simmons,
married, was charged with feloniously receiving a
vast quantity of plate, glass, &c., well knowing it
to have been stolen.

Robert Pettier, 98 M, said—Last night, from
information I received, I went in company with
another constable to 42, Hatfield.street, Lambeth,
where the mother and father of the prisoner resided.
The prisoner had lived at \Vest-street, Pimlico,
but her husband is in trouble, and she was staying
with her parents. I told the mother I was a police-
constable, and should search her piree for stolen
property, takenfr
BroGom,pre
tLoon.dge, Kensington, and
19, Onslow-square,
Mr. Arnold—What authority had you to search?
Witness—None. I thought we could search in
cases of felony.

Mr. Arnold—You were acting illegally and with-
out authority ; the father and mother would be jus-
tified in expelling you, and use force in doing so ; it
is a violation of duty.

1 Witness—The mother showed me the box, and
I found many of the articles produced. Prisoner
came in and began to cry ; I asked her how the
things came to Hatfield-street. She said they were
brought there last Saturday week by the landlord's
sou from West-street. She is a married woman.
Mr. James Holbert Wilson, of 19, Onslow-square,
said he thought the prisoner was to be pitied. Her
husband's brother was in his service as butler, and
must have stolen the things and taken them to his
mother. A short time ago the husband had com-
mitted a forgery on Coutts' Bank, and he and his
brother were now awaiting their trial at the Cen-
tral Criminal Court; they had stolen a circular
letter and forged the name of his nephew.
John Marsh, 92 M, said he went and took the
prisoner and asked her where she got the property
from.

Mr. Arnold said he could not hear what she said.
The constable had no business to ask her questions.
He doubted whether it would be safe to commit oa
the evidence, as the husband was undoubtedly the
receiver, and should be proceeded against by an in-
dictment at the sessions. He should allow her to
go on be own secognisaum till that day week,

SERIOUS EXPLOSION.

A contemporary states that on Tuesday morning a
quarryman, named Pennington, employed at the Ken-
dalfell stone quarries, was seriously injured by
an explosion of gun cotton. Ho was preparing a
"blasting" charge, and while ramming home the gun
cotton, which is now extensively used for such purposes in
mines, the latter suddenly exploded, caused, it is supposed,
in consequence of the boring rod being too small, and
the st, mmer, thus coming sharply in contact with the
dangerous compound, acted as a sort of percussional
explosive. A portion of one of Pennington's arms was
blown almost entirely off, the hand being held only by
a ligament ; one of his eyes was also dangerously in-
jured, and he was seriously burned and hurt about the
head and face. He was at once removed to his
home, and medical assistance was called in, but, al-
though three doctors were one after another requested to
attend each declined—one because he had been up all night,
another on the ground of " inability," and the third on ac-
count of being at his breakfast. Meanwhile, the unfortunate
man was lying at home, his wounds unbound, and him-
self falling into a syncope through loss of blood. The
accident caused the greatest excitement to prevail in
the neighbourhood of Fellside, where Pennington
resides; and when the refusal of the medical prac-
titioners became known a number of persons
rushed into the main street, and for a time a com-
motion but little removed from an indignation
riot prevailed. Ultimately, however, on the interfe-
rence of the mayor, who was applied to, a doctor
was obtained, and the injurel arm amputated. It is worthy
of remark, as illustrating the dangerous, explosive nature
of gun cotton, that during an experiment subsequently made
it was found that by striking a piece sharply with a hammer
it would explode with a suddenness, a force, and a renort
each in every way similar to that of gmipowder.

FRANCE.

PARIS, Sept. 17.

The Moniteur of this morning states that the
Emperor visited the Camp at Lanneinezan yester-
day. His Majesty was received by the Commander-
in-Chief, Marshal Neil, and General Goyot. An
immense crowd was present, including the mayors
and numerous inhabitants of 172 communes. The
people and the soldiers vied with each other in
greeting the Emperor with enthusiastic cheers.
After a review of the troops the Emperor gave a
grand dinner to all the generals and superior officers,
and returned to Pau by the night train at seven
o'clock. Everywhere on his journey his Majesty
was received in the most cordial and sympathetic
manner by the inhabitants.
The Moniteur, in its bulletin, says that letters
from Rio Janeiro to the 24th August announces
that Senor Scarmiento, the newly elected President
of the Argentine Republic, had been received by
the Emperor Dom Pedro.
The Brazilian Government has complied with the
demands of the American Minister by permitting

LICENCES.

If these recommendations are adopted the certifi-
cate will in all cases supersede the necessity for a
licence, and we recommend that the practice of
granting common licences in the United Church
of England and Ireland, and registrars' licences,
and the powers of licensing ministers among the
Presbyterians in Ireland, should cease.

the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth i hat are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed

ALLEGED DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT.—A very re-
spectable-looking woman, with a child in her arms,
besought the magistrate to render her sonic advice
and assistance under the following distressing cir-
cumstances.

The applicant said that she was in great want,
and could not obtain any relief from the parish
without ruining all her prospects in life. She was
the wife of a cab-driver who was at present in the
House of Correction. He had been committed from
this court three weeks ago for a month for some
misconduct and accident resulting from it in the
exercise of his calling. She was of course left
without the means of subsistence, and had to
part with a great many little things to pro-
cure food. Coupled with this and the little
work she was able to do, she contrived to procure
an existence until yesterday, when she applied to
the relieving officer of St. Luke, Chelsea, and told
him that she and her three little children were
without food. Mr. Tubbs, the officer, told her
that he could not give her any out-door relief, but
she could come with her
.children into the work-
house. This was very cruel, for if she ha :I done
so she must break up her little home, and then
when her husband came out there would be no
place for him to come to. She had contrived to
get on for three weeks, and had hoped to do so until
her husband was restored to liberty.
Mr. Selfe said the refusal to give out-door relief
was a cruel one, and ordered the poor creature a suffi-
cient sum from the poor-box for her maintenance
until her husband's release.
London, England, 1868-09-17

PENALTIES.

We think that it should hereafter be made
demeanour, and not felony, for any minister of re-
ligion, civil officer, or other person wilfully to con-
travene the provisions of the marriage law ; and
that it is unnecessary to fix beforehand for such
offences pecuniary penalties of any certain amount.
All wilfully false and material statements, in anY
declaration required by or under the authority of
the marriage law, should make the guilty parties
liable to the penalties of perjury ; and for this
cause, as well as for marriage during minority, or
with a minor, without the consent required by law,
the proper Court should hwe power to make and
enfk.rcJ settlements of property, so as to prevent
the guilty party from benefiting by the marriage.

REGISTRATION.

The present arrangement fOr the registration of
marriages, in each part of the United Kingdom,
seem to us to require only this alteration, that the
minister or officer, who is the celebrant or official
witness of marriage, should in all cases be charged
with the duty of recording each marriage at the
time of solemnisation, in proper duplicate registers,
one of which should remain in the official custody
of the person for the time being filling the same
office, and should be delivered up, upon each
vacancy in that office, to the next successor, and
the other should be transmuted quarterly by such
minister or officer (free of postage) through the
district registrar to the Registrar-General. Proper
books and forms for this purpose should, we think,
be supplied at the public expense, by the Registrar-
General in each part of the United Kingdom, to
every person authorised by law to celebrate, or to
be the official witness of, marriage; both the local
and the, general registers being admitted in all
courts as prima facie legal evidence of marriage.
The system which we thus recommend is for the
most part already in force, except as to Scotch
regular marriages and Irish Roman Catholic mar-
riages ; and even as to the latter class of marriages,
although the duty of making the proper return to
the registry office is imposed upon the married
parties (i.e., upon the husband), and not upon the
clergyman, we learn that it is now very often volun-
tarily discharged by the clergy.

FEES, STAMPS, AND EXPENSES.

It would, in our opinion, be highly desirable that
the exactio❑ of fees and compulsory payments of
every kind for the solemnisation of marriage, or
for the fulfilment of any preliminary conditions of
marriage prescribed by the State, should be wholly
abolished ; that no stamped duty should be imposed
upon any certificate, notice, or other document re-
quired by law for the purpose of marriage ; and
that postage should not be chargeable on any
official documents passing through the post in
compliance with the provisions of the law of mar-
riage.

Any increase in the cost to the public of the sys-
tem of general registry, arising out of the require-
ments of an improved marriage law, such as we re-
commend, would, in our opinion, be slight and in-
considerable when compared with the public benefit
arising therefrom.

If, however, it is considered necessary still to
charge fees for the solemnisation or for any of the
other legal requisites or incidents of marriage
(either on account of the difficulty of replacing

the deficiency which their abolition might cause
in the incomes of some of the parochial clergy, or
for any other reason), we think that a uniform
table of such fees, upon as moderate a scale as
practicable, should be settled by law ; and that
such fees should not, in any case, be augmented
by the imposition of stamp duties, such as those
now imposed, in England, on common licences.

LAM BERT'S ASTHMATIC B ALS A.M.—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, cold?, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounco incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes 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,
King William-street, Charing-cross, London, and by all
druggists, in bottles, 13d., and three quantities in one,
2s. 9d. each. Be particular, and ask for Lambert's Asth-
matic Balsam. The name and address are engraved on the
stamp.

THE ADDISON CLUB.—The members of this club
spent a most enjoyable evening on Saturday last, when
one of their number, J. A. Hughes, Esq., entertained them
with a pleasant discursive story of colonial life. The
paper was entitled "A Summer Voyage from Nova Scotia
to New York," but the title hardly gave a correct notion
of the contents, which only embraced a record of the inci-
dents of a sojourn on Prince Edward's Island, and the
arrival of the Asa Fish at New Brunswick, on which the
author embarked for New York. It was understood that
the paper was in two parts, and we hope to be present at
the reading of the concluding portion.
In accordance with orders to that effect from the
Horse-Guards, the first section of the mounted A
troop of the Royal Engineer Train, with the pon-
toon train and field equipment complete, left
Chatham yesterday, en route for Aldershot, on the
completion of their course of pontooning instruction
at Wouldham. The remaining portion of the A,
troop and head-quarters will lave Chatham thi

morning.
Iler Majesty's screw troopship Himalaya, Capt

will convey the 28th Regiment to Gibraltar, and
will leave the latter place on the 3d of October with

pitched at the spot they reach at night. With that
train browse the sheep and cattle which supply fresh
meat, and the contractors, the.. Brothers Casement,
of Ohio, board their workmen at a charge each of
$2O per ntensem, though the cost to them is po. In
the account given by Mr. Bowles, who accompanied
his friend Speaker Colfax, mention is made of a
dinner to which they were invited by the workmen,
as they happened to be at the end of the line when
the dinner train came up. There was boiled beef,
pork and beans, tomatoes, peas and potatoes, pre-
served peaches and blackberries, bread and butter,
tea and coffee, all excellent, and the best-cooked
meal the Colfax party had eaten since leaving
Omaha. As the material reaches us we will con-
tinue these Notes till we give our readers an idea

PENALTIES.

We think that it should hereafter be made mis-
demeanour, and not felony, for any minister of re-
ligion, civil officer, or other person wilfully to con-
travene the provisions of the marriage law ; and
that it is unnecessary to fix beforehand for such
offences pecuniary ponaltieS of any certain amount.
All wilfully false and material statements, in all
declaration required by or under the authority Of
the marriage law, should make the guilty parties
liable to the penalties of perjury ; and for this
cause, as well as for marriage during minority, or
with a minor, without the consent required by law,
the proper Court shouA h tve Lower to make and
enforce settlements of property, so as to prevent
the guilty party from benefiting by the marriage.

BANNS.

Without proposing that the publication of banns
should be prohibited or interfered with in the Esta?
blished Churches, when desired by the parties, or
in other Churches or religious denominations,
when required by their particular discipline or
usage, we recommend that such publication should
not henceforth in any case be required by law as
a condition either of the lawfulness or of the
regularity of marriage.

In rural parishes and districts, generally, every
useful purpose which can be answered by the
publication of banns in the Established Church
may be equally answered by the mere fact of notice
to the officiating minister ; and the evidence which
we have received from England abundantly proves,
that the dislike of this mode of publication tends
to promote clandestinely, rather than to prevent
it, by inducing many persons to resort for mar-
riage to places where they are unknown. The
same evidence also proves that it is practically use-
less and inconvenient in very populous places. In
Scotland, being confined by law to the Established
Church, and being performed three times over on
a single Sunday just before the commencement of
divine service, it can be of very little, if any, use,
particularly in great cities and towns ; and it is,
not unreasonably, complained of by the Scottish
Nonconformists, who are married by their own
ministers, as being in their case vexatious as well
as useless. In Ireland it is but little u,:eJ, and we
are satisfied that the time has now arrived when it
may be abol;shed, as a statutory requirement,
throughout the United Kingdom, without any
public disadvant tge.

PRESENTATION TO THE BISHOP OF

TENNESSEE.

It will be remembered that during the stay of the
Bishop of Tennessee at Lavenham, a fund was raised for
the purpose of presenting him with an altar-cloth similar
to the one in Lavenham Church, which Miss Croker
kindly promised to work. The presentation was duly
made, and the following letter (written on parchment)
has just been received from America by the rector in
acknowledgment of the same :—" St. Luke's Parish, Jack-
son, Tennessee, U.S.A., July 21, 1868.—Reverend and
dear sir, our Reverend Father in God, B ishop Quintard, has
presented to this parish the altar-cloth, cross, and alms
basin which your parishioners donated to him, and in
which they have reproduced the furniture of your own
holy table. While our most thankful acknowledgments
are due to our beloved diocesan for the distinguished
honour he has thus done us, we take occasion to assure•
you, and through you all who took part in this contribu-
tion, of the lively pleasure and profound gratitude
with which we receive it.' It is superb gift from one of
the parishes of that dear mother to whom the Church in
these States is indebted under God for her first foundation
and long continuance of nursing care and protection.' It
now beautifies and adorns our modest sanctuary, and like
a corona lucis, gives light to all that are in the house. It
stands before us as a witness and testimonial of your and
our oneness in the faith which was delivered to th(
saints. We greet it as a token and pledge of perpetual
fellowship and goodwill, and most lovingly respond to all
that it so peerlessly symbolises.—Your brothers, John A.
Harrison, Rector ; Jas. L. Tulbit, Senior Warden ; Jas.
G. Womack, Junior Warden ; Ward M. Stephens,Thos.
J. Caruthers, J. M. Barker, Thos. W. Harris (secretary).
