" LEFT AT THE CLOAK Moose."—John Allen
M‘Leod, a young man of gentlemanly appearance,
speaking with a strong foreign accent, a circum-
stance he explained by saying that, though an
' Englishman, he bad lived so many years in Italy
that he had almost forgotten his native tongue, was
charged with stealing a gold watch, the property of
Miss Ede, of the Homer coffee-house, Agar-
street, Strand. lie described himself as a
clerk, and said lie lived-at Calais. On Thurs-
day night the prisoner went to the coffee-house
and ordered a bed, saying he should like to have
the same room he had used on a former occasion.
He was accommodated as he desired. After he lef t
the next morning the watch and a hat-box were
missed from an adjoining room. A suspicionhaving
arisen in Miss Ede's mind that the property might
have been left at the. Cloak-room of one of the
railway-stations, she sent to the several ter-
mini to make inquiries. At the Cloak-room
f the Gining-cross Station sh 3 found
hat box, which at the first glance she imagined to
be the same that had been missed from her room,
which ultimately turned out to be the case. She
communicated with the police, and a watch was
kept. Ultimately the prisoner called for the hatbox,
and was at once confronted by Miss Ede, who
asked him why lie had not returned to
the " Homer"? He appeared much confused, and
gave no distinct answer. She then said to him, "I
want my watch—you must have taken it, and no
one else." The prisoner said, " Move a little fur-
ther away, we don't want him to hear us," re-
ferring to Sergeant Monckton, the detective officer
on special duty at the station, who was standing
by watching the conversation. lie then said to
her in a low tone of voice, " If I give you back
your watch, you wont' give me in charge ?"
Mouckton saw him fumbling at his waistcoat-pocket,
and half withdrawing something which looked like
the bow of a watch. fie asked the prisoner if he
had the watch, and, receiving no distinct answer,
took him in custody. The watch was found on him,
and identified by Miss Ede. He begged to be let
go, saying that if he was locked up it would ruin
him. He was going away by train, and his
mother would be waiting for him at the
station. Upon him were found a number of pawn-
brokers' duplicates for articles pledged in London,
a " billet" (or duplicate) for a light blue overcoat,
pledged for 20 francs at the Mout de Piete, at
Calais, and a number of cloak-room tickets for
courier bags, portmanteaus, umbrellas, &c., left at
the cloak-rooms of the several railway stations, to
be called for.

He was remanded for further inquiries, as it was
imagined that publicity being given to the proceed-
ings at this stage the owners of som,-. of the pro-
perty might come forward.

(Per the Hammonia, via Southampton.)
NEW YORK, July 21 (Noon)•

President Johnson has vetoed the bill providing
that such lately rebellious States as had not been
restored to representation in Congress under the
Reconstruction Act shall not participate in the
Presidential election. He declares the-bill to be
revolutionary and unconstitutional, being based on
the assumption that several of the States were out
of the Union. The bill might enable Congress to
control the approaching Presidential election, and
Congress had no authority to exclude from the
electoral college any State because a portion of the
inhabitants had joined the rebellion. The Senate
by 45 to 48, and the House of Representatives hi
134 to 36, passed the bill over the veto.

President Johnson has sent a message to Con-
gress recommending a constitutional amendment,
providing that the President be elected by direct
popular vote for a term of six years, and be inelig-
ible a second term, and that Senators be elected by

the people instead of by a vote of the Legislature.
The Senate has passed the bill reducing the stand-
ing army, and have rejected the nomination of Jr
Smythe, as Minister to Vienna.

Five Louisiana and two South Carolina members
have been admitted to seats in the House of Ite"

presentatives.
President Johnson has nominated Henry
Watts Minister to Austria, General Rosencrauz t°
Spain, and General MiClenand to Mexico.
Mr. Seward has officially announced that the 14th
constitutional amendment has been ratified by the
requisite number of States, and is now part of the
Constitution.
Negro riots in Mexican Texas continue. The
rioters are entrenched, and defy the civil and Dili,
tart' authorities.

ESSEX ARCH2EOLOGICAL SOCIETY.

The annual meeting of this society, founded
sixteen years ago, was held on Tuesday last at
Brentwood, under the presidency of Sir Thos.
B. Western, Bart., M.P. There was a large
gathering members and their friends, includ-
ing ladies. Among those present were Andrew
Johnson, R. Baker-Wingfield, W. M'Andrew,
G. E. Adams (Herald's College), C. F. Hay-
ward, F. Wallen, F. Chancellor, G. E. Prit-
chett, P. Milbourn, W. W. King, H. W. King

A very interesting historical paper was read
by Colonel Chester, on " Essex Families and
Nomenclature in New England," showing the
great and paramount influence which the
county of Essex had exercised in the founda-
tion and early settlement of that colony ; that
the Essex settlers had more to do with mould-
ing both the social and political character of
the colony than any other, and that so pre-
dominant were the Essex men in the early
days of the colony, that the names of Essex
towns and villages were given to the very
earliest settlements established, are retained

to an extraordinarily large number in that part
of the United States. This very able paper,
evincing great research, was listened to with
deep attention, and received with manifest
tokens of approbation, was followed by one
on the "Inventories of Church Goods at South-
weald and Brentwood to Edward V 1.," by
Mr. H. W. King. The inventories, taken by
virtue of a Royal Commission in that year,
are authentic records of the plate. vestments,
and ornaments of the churches existing at the
death of Henry VIII., and remaining till the
latter part of the year 1552, when the great
bulk that was left was seized by the State.
During the five years preceding the date of
the Commission, vast quantities of church
goods had been sold by the parishioners, or
secretly embezzled, and it was by no means
uncommon for churches to be forcibly broken
into and the plate carried off. Sir William
Stafford had seized the bells of not less than
four churches in parishes where he possessed
estates. But under this Commission the Crown
completed the work of plunder, and the
churches were despoiled of their goods from
one end of the kingdom to the other. The
inventories, read by Mr. King, attest the great
splendour of the vestments and other appli-
ances of sacred use with which even churches
in the rural districts were furnished. In South
weald Church there were about twenty-four
chasubles, copes, and tunicles—some of them
sumptuously embroidered with gold,—as many
altar cloths, three chalices, and numerous
articles in plate and copper. The chapel of St.
Thomas the Martyr, in Brentwood, possessed
then but three chasubles and one cope, and I

Mr. Benson said it was almost incredible that
any person should commit such a cowardly
assault as the prisoner had done to satisfy a bit of
spite. The prisoner was a brutal fellow, and it was
no wonder he was ashamed to appear to the summons.
The moment the sentence was pronounced Mary

said, " Take that you wretch." Mr. Benson

BOW-STREET.

" LEFT AT THE CLOAK P.oom.”—John Allen
M'Leod, a young man of gentlemanly appearance,
speaking with a strong foreign accent, a circum-
stance he explained by saying that, though an
Englishman, he had lived so many years in Italy
that he had almost forgotten his native tongue, was
charged with stealing a gold watch, the property of
Miss Ede, of the Homer coffee-house, Agar-
street, Strand. He described himself as a
cle►k, and said lie lived at Calais. On Thurs-
day night the prisoner went to the coffee-house
and ordered a bed, saying he should like to have
the same room he had used on a former occasion.
He was accommodated as he desired. After he lef t
the next morning the watch and a hat-box were
missed from an adjoining room. A suspicion.having
arisen in Miss Ede's mind that the property might
have been left at the Cloak-room of one of the
railway-stations, she sent to the several ter-
mini to make inquiries. At the Cloak-room
of the Charing-cross Station she found a
hat box, which at the first glance she imagined to
be the same that had been missed from her room,
which ultimately turned out to be the case. She
communicated with the police, and a watch was
kept. Ultimately the prisoner called for the hatbox,
and was at once confronted by Miss Ede, who
asked him why he had not returned to
the " Homer"? He appeared much confused, and
gave no distinct answer. She then said to him, " I
want my watch—you must have taken it, and no
one else." The prisoner said, " Move a little fur-
ther away, we don't want him to hear us," re-
ferring to Sergeant Monckton, the detective officer
on special duty at the station, who was standing
by watching the conversation. He then said to
her in a low tone of voice, " If I give you back
your watch, you wont' give me in charge?"
Monckton saw him fumbling at his waistcoat-pocket,
and half withdrawing something which looked like
the bow of a watch. He a3ke I the prisoner if he
had the watch, and, receiving no distinct answer,
took him in custody. The watch was found on him,
and identified by Miss Ede. He begged to be let
go, saying that if he was locked up it would ruin
him. He was going away by train, and his
mother would be waiting for him at the
station. Upon him were found a number of pawn-
brokers' duplicates for articles pledged in London,
a " billet" (or duplicate) for a light blue overcoat,
pledged for 20 francs at the Mont de Piete, at
Calais, and a number of cloak-room tickets for
courier bags, portmanteaus, umbrellas, Bre., left at
the cloak-rooms of the several railway stations, to
be called for.

lie was remanded for further inquiries, as it was
imagined that publicity being giveu to the proceed-
ings at this stage the owners of some of the pro-
perty might come forward.

EXTE.V.SIV.E FIRES IN RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg, in the Saint Public of
:Ayons, says : " What can I speak of except the infliction
vhich has for some time past desolated Russia. I mean
he conflagrations that occur. Recently the Paris Monde
)Tinted a letter of an alarming character, and which, one
vnild have supposed to have been borrowed from the nar-
•ativcs of early travellers in the New World, and in which
vas report al an account of prairie fires in Russia covering
in extent of several leagues. The communication stated
,hat from the frontiers of Prussia, and stretching as far
is St. Petersburg, over an extent of 800 kilometres
'each five-eights of- a mile), the forests and plantations
were burning for several days. At this narrative every
)ne here smiled, and the German journals treated the story
Is absurd ; but, unfortunately, there is in it only some
!xaggeration. The Riga Journal of the 20th says : ' Fires
ere increasing in the forests with an alarming rapidity.
They probably arise from the long-continued drought.
News received from the interior of the country announces
hat the wools are on fire in various parts of Eethonia and
Livonia ; as, fur example, in the neighbourhuu I of Fellin,
in the grounds :appertaining to the Chateau of Rodenpoiss,
and other localities. Near Riga many forests are all
ablaze, and the sky is darkened with the smoke. On the
evening of the 19th, extensive reflections of fire were per-
ceived on the horizon from the upper part of the right
bank of the Duna."

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,

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 be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method doss not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth chat are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

QUEEN'S 771EATRE.

Mr. Byron's new domestic drama, "The Lancashire
Lass," is proving highly attractive at this theatre,
notwithstanding the oppressive state of the weather
for in-door amusements. This piece now acts munh
closer than on the first night of the production, and
the consequence is that the effects are very much
heightened. The sensation scene, " Egremont
Landing Stage," with the arrival of the night
steamer, is a very beautiful specimen of scenic illu-
sion, and is much applauded. The cast of characters
is unexceptionably good, and Mr. Irving, upon
whom the weight of the drama falls, gives a very
life-like representation of the heartless, calculating
villain " one who would chip a woman's
heart to pieces, bit by bit." Indeed, we
rather think in some parts it is superior
to his clever assumption of Bob Gassitt in " Dearer
than Life." Mr. L. Brough, as the waif and stray
Spotty, gives an effective ;embodiment of the cha-
racter, and Mr. S. Emery, who assumes a
character-64 a party of the name of John-
son "—with all that dash and vigour that
so strongly marks all his impersonations. Mr. C.
Wyndham as Ned Clayton has not much oppor-
tunity for display, but all he does do is thoroughly
artistic. Miss Nelly Moore as Ruth Kirby, the
Lancashire Lass, throws a deal of pathos into the
part, and Miss Hodson, as Kate Garston, deserves
high commendation.
Altogether the piece is mounted in capital style,
and reflects the greatest credit on the management.

A very interesting historical paper was read
by Colonel Chester, on " Essex Families and
Nomenclature in New England," showing the
great and paramount influence which the
county of Essex had exercised in the founda-
tion and early settlement of that colony ; that
the Essex settlers had more to do with mould-
ing both the social and political character of
the colony than any other, and that so pre-
dominant were the Essex men in the early
days of the colony, that the names of Essex
towns and villages were given to the -very
earliest settlements established, are retained
to the present day, and have been reduplicated
to an extraordinarily large number in that part
of the United States. This very able paper,
evincing great research, was listened to with
deep attention, and received with manifest
