POLICE INTELLTGENCE.-TMS DAY.

BOW-STREET.
FORGING A POST-OFFICE WARRANT.—A young
man named James Thomas Board, residing at 8,
Ampton-street, Gray's-inn-road, was
placed at the
bar charged with forgery.
It appeared that a depositor in the Post-office
Savings bank, named Blakey, resided in the house of
the prisoner's parents, and having occasion to leave
town for a short time he left his Yost-office Savings
bank book in his room. On his return the book
was missed, and from inquiry then made it was
ascertained that on three occasions during his
absence warrants for the payment of £3O had been
issued and paid to a person who signed the name
of the depositor in the book kept at the Post-office.
Steps were taken to ascertain if the person who was
suspected was the prisoner, from his having ab-
sconded, and eventually he was taken into custody
at Bristol, and, on being brought into London, was
recognised as being the person who had forged the
signature of Blakey.
The Solicitor to the Post-office prosecuted, and
said that although the money had been obtained by
the prisoner, the depositor would not be at the loss
of it as it would be borne.by the Post-office autho-
rities.

Frederick Paterson, a clerk in the Post-office
Savings-bank, deposed to the receipt for a warrant
of withdrawal, and also to the despatching of the
necessary document to the address given, viz.,
King's-cross-road, which he again received properly
signed, and purporting to come from Edward Bla-
key. lle also sent a letter of advice to the Post-
master in the Gray's-inn-road to pay the same,
which was accordingly done.
Mr. James Dick, of 98, King's-cross-road, Post-
office and savings bank branch, identified the pri-
soner, who got a withdrawal from his office.
Miss Whites, assistant to the last witness, proved
the payment of the £lO to the prisoner, and also
his signing the warrant with the name " Edward
Blakey." Prisoner afterwards, on two other oc-
casions, received withdrawal notices, signing each
time the name of the depositor Blakey, and pro-
ducing the book, No. 1073.
James Budd, of the Post-office, 173, Gray's-in n-
road, also identified the prisoner as a person who
had obtained two sums of £lO each from him under
similar circumstances.

TRADE WITH CHINA.

The adoption of the new route to South-west Chira by
way of Rangoon will be attended by more than one benefit.
It will not only open commercial intercourse with two
hundred millions of people who are practically cut off
from European trade, but it is necessary for the consolida-
tion of our Indian Empire. France has planted her flag in
Cochin China, and is rapidly working up the Cambodia

THE EPISCOPAL TRIENNIAL CONVEN-
TION.

This Convention assembled in Trinity Church,
New York on the 7th inst. The bishops number
42. The clerical and lay delegates number nearly
one hundred and fifty. A Committee of Arrangements
was in attendance to receive the bishops and de-
puties. The clergy generally, the lay members of
boards of missions and other church institutions,
and the vestry of Trinity Church, were admitted
to seats in the nave behind the deputies. The north
side was open to the public. The singing was exe-
cuted by a full choir of thirty clergymen. The
sermon was delivered by Bishop Lee, of Delaware.
At the close of the regular religious services the
secretaries and standing committees were appointed
by Bishop Smith, of Kentucky, and presiding
officers, when the Convention adjourned to meet
at Trinity Chapel, in Twenty-fifth-street, on Thurs-
day morning, Oct. 8. The following are the names
of the members of the Convention :

ANOTHER CONTRADICTION.

The " last thing out " in election fictions has been
a statement in the Times that Mr. O'Malley's com-
mittee had gone to the expense of publishing an
enlarged reproduction of " Ye Jollie Thieves" cartoon,
in which Mr. Gladstone as King Henry and Mr. John
Bright as Falstaff are represented as arranging the
next purse-taking expedition. Mr. A. B. Talbot writes
on behalf of Mr. O'Malley's committeefor the Fix
election to say that no such expense has been incurred
and that the committee would not feel itself justified
in using the subscriptions towards the expenses of
the contest for such a purpose. Probably the com-
mittee will find sufficient employment for the money,
without indulging in artistic extravagances. An
enlarged copy of the cartoon has been posted in dis-
tricts where professional instincts will appreciate the
subject. This adornment of the walls of obscure
thoroughfares is perhaps due to private benevolence.

ENGLISH FINANCING.

Altogether, English merchants and capitalists are
giving their country a good name. It is little wonder
that one of the witnesses at the "Doulton trial," at
Brussels, expressed the opinion that the English were
" eccentric in money matters." What can be said,
for instance, to the failure of Overend, Gurney, and
Co., the revelations concerning railway management
which followed, the fall of some of our safest bankers,
the stories told about innumerable little banks
and enterprises, and more recently the investigation
in the matter of the Royal Bank of Liverpool,
together with a few other finance companies which
we could name ? It may safely be predicted that,
going at this rate, England will soon be in the proud
position of the most commercially immoral country
in the world. Unfortunately, too many of our public
men are, if not criminally guilty, mixed up with and
concerned in these unfortunate enterprises. This,
.of
course, may be to their own misfortune. The," affaire
Doulton," for instance—though the member for
Lambeth may be, as he says he is, "more sinned
against than sinning "—comes, unfortunately, after
so many other revelations. Mr. Albert Grant, too,
who is not most inexplicably) very popular amongst
the Credit Foncier shareholders, has had a finger
in that unfortunate pie, the Belgian Public
Works scheme. Some reflection was thrown on
him at the trial at Brussels. Smarting under it, Mr.
Grant has written to Mr. Doulton, and got from him
a certificate that the reflection was unwarranted.
Mr. Grant adds : " I am conscious of never having
done a single act in connection with the company but
for its advantage. I have not benefited by my con-
nection with it by a single shilling, and if the hearsay
evidence given had been put to the crucial test of
cross-examination and the laws of English jurispru-
dence, it would have been seen on what utterly
worthless and false bases the allegations rested."

THE STRAW PLAITERS OF BEDFORDSHIRE.
There is great distress amongst the straw plaiters
of Bedfordshire. Small bonnets have sent straw
"out of fashion," and the unfortunate makers of
straw plait have no work to do. Maybe, the next
freak of Le Pellet will put the Dunstable plaiters
as hard at work as ever. Meanwhile the condition
of these at present unfortunate creatures is
worth attention. The Daily News has been
making some inquiries, and presents the results
of these to its readers. The story is by no
means pleasant reading. It is a revelation of early
work, lasting ignorance, ending in debasing immo-
rality. The work is confined almost exclusively to
fez and children, The elitgati&Nhiehshildrea

SPAIN.

The Spanish Minister of Finance is desirous of contract-
ing a loan of £20,000,000. This is indeed a formidable
undertaking for a country with a revenue below twenty-six
millions sterling, and with funds quoted at 32 or 33. The
treasury is in no very flourishing condition, and the
revenue is weakened by the abolition of the octroi and
other duties. Moreover, there are large obligations to meet.
But Figuerola, the Finance Minister, is able and conscien-
tious ; he has concluded that a smaller loan will not
answer the purpose, and so universal is the belief in his
honesty that a beneficial effect on public confidence has
already been produced. If, the Times correspondent says,
Spain is willing to go hand in hand with her rulers,
there can be no doubt as to her ability to pay her way.
She has hitherto been a very lightly taxed nation. The
collectors' duty was never a very difficult one.
The new manifesto of the Provisional Government is
calculated to dissipate the uncertainty which prevailed as
to the freedom of creed and worship. The first manifesto
was very hazy on this, as on other points. The utmost
that could be deduced from it was that religion would be
tolerated, not that it would be free. This ambiguous
decision caused, we are told, much dissatisfaction in Spain.
But the Government now definitely announces that the
fullest freedom of religion shall be granted. There is,
moreover, every reason to believe that religious liberty is
%lready practically established in Spain.
The meeting of the Society for the Abolition of Slavery,
held recently at Madrid, was one of the largest, most
enthusiastic, and unanimous gatherings ever held in that
capital. There were about 5,000 persons present, all
belonging to the middle classes. The proceedings laited
four hours, the speeches being varied by the reciting of
poems by ladies. Senor Olozaga presided. Whilst the
necessity of emancipation was acknowledged by all, the
practical difficulties were not overlooked, and frequent
reference was made to the experience of England. Two
Cuban estate-holders spoke, both advocating the abolition
of slavery.

It is announced that Don Henri of Bourbon has arrived
at Lisbon. He is about to ask permission to enter Spain
on the ground that he was unjustly exiled by the Govern-
ment of Isabella.

THE OUTBREAK IN NEW ZEALAND.

The Maori prisoners who seized their guard anct forced
the crew of a Government ship to navigate them back to
Poverty Bay behaved with surprising moderation. Only
one man, Michael llartnoll, who resisted, was killed. Feel-
ing the utter uselessness of resistance, the European residents
at the Chatham Islands quietly submitted to their houses
being ransacked for money, arms, and ammunition. They
lost nearly all the hard cash they possessed. Mr. Cooper,
the officer sent down to investigate the matter, remarks :
" Upon looking back at this extraordinary episode, it is

difficult to say whether one's wonder is excited more by
the precision, rapidity, and completeness with which
the enterprise was planned and executed, or by the
moderation shown in the hour :of victory by a gang of
barbarous fanatics, who in a moment found their former
masters bound at their feet and their lives entirely at their

LORD DERBY.

Whatever opinions the nation at large may have
of Lord Derby's political convictions, he has its whole
sympathy when he is attacked by his dreadful enemy,
the gout. The picture of the chivalrous earl debating
in the House of Lords while undergoing great physi-
cal pain was a noble but distressing one. In private
life it is to be hoped that his energy may defy
the disease for many years. He has partly
recovered from his late attack, and, although
the visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to
Knowsley is said to be indefinitely postponed, in con-
sequence of the earl's delicate health, everyone will
be glad to hear of it when it takes place.

TI7RN HIPS OUT."

Here is an almost incredible tale. We give it on
the authority of a Conservative journal which would
hardly be likely to exaggerate the facts. A meeting
of the supporters of Messrs. Newdegate and Bromley
has been held at Rugby. Dr. Temple, the head
master of the school, sought to ascend the platform.
His opponents, knowing full well that it would be
useless to measure swords with him in argument, hit
upon thebrilliant idea of bundling him out of the room.
His ejection was, shame to say, accomplished by
people who are described, like so many, of the police--
court ruffians, as " respectably dressed." The rev.
doctor will now understand the force of Lytton's
objection to a well-dressed mob. Mr. Newdegate
used his influence, and the doctor was allowed to
return, but not to speak. A Liberal contemporary
describes the roughs as farmers, and states that the
Hon. Charles Lennox Butler bawled in the doctor's
ear that his presence there was worse than a mistake
—it WA a crime.

It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the

THE INCREASE OF SCARLATINA.

The increase of scarlatina in the metropolis and
some of the other large towns is causing some
anxiety. The disease is not confined to the slums
and back streets, but has most unceremoniously
entered the well-aired rooms of the upper classes.
Dr. Matthew Corner, the medical officer of health
for Mile-end Old Town, writing to the Times,
gives his idea of the reason for this. He
says the disease is very often taken at public
schools. " During the past week," he says, " I have
investigated the circumstances of twelve fatal cases
of scarlatina, taken indiscriminately from the returns
of the Registrar-General, and all were easily and
clearly traced to have become infected, directly or
indirectly, at some public or private school. The
cause of •this danger consists in allowing
children to return to school before the relics
of the disease and consequent power of infection
are completely removed; this condition probably
remains longer in scarlatina than any other disease of
the same class." Another reason, however, for it is
to be found in the remnant of old drains, which are
still to be found in many of our houses. In one case
two families, occupying at different times the same
house, were constantly affected by scarlatina and
similar diseases. By Dr. Corner's advice, the
foundation of the house was examined, and an old
defective, and obstructed brick drain was discovered
communicating with the privy, and running immo•
diately under the floor of the house, the surrounding
earth being saturated with the stagnant contents of
the drain. This evil at least may be easily and
readily remedied.

county Mayo, accompanied by a loud rumbling noise in
the ground as of several carriages rolling down an
avenue. The sound grew louder as it passed under his
feet from north to south, but there was no earth-
shaldng. Some Cork journals now express strong
doubt' as to the statements from the neighbourhood
of Mallow." Writing last night, our correspondent says :
" The story of the shock of earthquake, on Saturday, at
Newton, seems to rest on the testimony of several
respectable inhabitants. Whilst Mr. Bourne was
hunting on- foot with a pack of beagles, he and his
party felt the ground shaking violently under their feet.'
Peals of near thunder were heard at the same moment.
The vibration lasted about five seconds. Captain and
Mrs. Perry, of Clyda Villa, near Mallow, heard a low rum-
bling noise whilst talking in their parlour, and saw several
articles in the room shifting. At the same moment their
children ran in to say that the garden was shaking. The
people in the neighbourhood believe that the effects
were produced by an earthquake. The day was remark-
ably sultry."

THE BATTLE OF ALCOLEA.

The following touching incident of the battle of Alcolea
is related by the Daily Hews correspondent, who heard the
story from a young soldier who was in Serrano's army :
"This young man was in one of the advanced battalions
which were earliest engaged, and for some minutes his
regiment and one of the royalist army were
exchanging shots at a very short distance, so short,
indeed, that they could easily discern the countenances of
titeir antagonists. Soon after the firing commenced, so
soon indeed that the smoke had not yet obscured their
vision, the soldier on his left-band file, a young man like
himself, noticed that he was being covered by the rifle of
one of the enemy, and looking at his foe imme-
diately perceived that it was his own brother.
For a moment he seemed petrified with horror
at the idea that he might be slain under such
circumstances, and then, throwing up his arms,
he exc!aimed in Spanish, 0, Frank, do not fire r
The Royalist was naturally astonished at hearing his
name thus shouted out in the middle of battle, but he was
not slow to recognise his brother ; and the two lads, for-
getting all about Queen or revolution, rushed into each
other's arms and embracad between the lines of the hostile
armie3. But, unfortunately, a bullet intended for some
one ese passed through the head of the Royalist, and he
was saved from the curse of fratricide only to expire in
his bra ther's arms."

PERSECUTION OF TIIE JEWS.

Ju 3tice is to be accorded to the Jews who suffer( d from
the recent disturbances at Galatz. They are to be
recompensed for their losses, and the persons who inflicted
them will be tried forthwith. Of all the towns of
Roumania, Galatz is most frequently the scene of these
outrages. A large number of Greeks who live at this
place are supposed to be in some degree answerable for
these occurrences.

WHO WOULD BE A BISHOP P

Charles Walker (we presume the Rev. Charles
Walker, of St. Michael's, Brighton), careful that the
aged Bishop of Chichester should not rust through
lack of work, has been writing to him upon the
subject of what he calls the " scandal of evening
communions," and asks his lordship for support in
case he institute proceedings against the Rev.
Edmund Clay, of St. Margaret's Chapel. He tells
the Bishop that he shall reserve the right of pub-
lishing his lordship's reply. This impatient gentle-
man only gives the Bishop a week for his answer,
and then, not receiving one, he sends his letter to
the Daily News. Here is a fine opening for a flood
o f letters, more or less irreverent, more or less
irrelevant.

MOBBING ROYALTY.

The writer in the Moniteur who discovered that
St. Leonards-on-Sea was a royal residence where the
Queen was now staying, and where the Crown
Princess of Prussia had spent the greater part of her
childhood, will be surprised to learn that the inhabi-
tants of the place are at the present time so little in
the habit of treating the presence of royalty with
ordinary composure, that the Crown Princess
is mobbed in a disgraceful manner. The same dis-
tinction awaits her Royal Highness which is
conferred upon the pickpocket on his way to the
police-station, and when she walks out with the
little ones she attracts as much notice as if she were
exhibiting a "happy family." The English snob is
übiquitous. At home and abroad he dodges the
footsteps of the great. Now that the Royal Family
consent to sit for their photographs, and the public
have an opportunity of staring at them in family
groups, the originals might surely be spared this
annoyance.

THE " COUNTESS OF DERIVENTWATER."

It is to be hoped that we shall soon hear the last of
the " Lady Amelia Radcliffe" who is endeavourin
t 3 assert her claim to the estates and title of Der-
wentwater by " squatting" in the Queen's highways ;
or at any rate that she will leave the road and use
some other mode of obtaining the paternal estates.
With an amazing want of promptitude, the authorities
have at last decided to remove her, and summonses
have been served upon her to answer charges of
setting up the " structure " and lighting fires on the
highway. What is difficult for lookers-on to under-
stand is, the way in which her cause is espoused by
the dwellers in the neighbourhood. True, her story
is romantic ; but it is so manifestly absurd. She
admits that she has at present no papers that can
establish her claim, but says she once had ; that she
forwarded them to Lord Palmerston, and that he
stole them. Many a charge has been brought against
the noble lord, but none so palpably false and ground-
less as this.

R. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
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 bo found superior to a'ny teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth that aro loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.
