The procession was accompanied by a military es-

greatest sympathy. At the Hof burg the procession
was received by the whole Imperial Family. The

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(ORM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.).

PARIS, FRIDAY, Jan. 17.

The papers are giving prominence to a statement to the
effect that the Minister of Finance and the Minister of
State are at variance on the question of a loan. To M.
Magne it appears that a loan is imperative. On the other
haud, M. Rouher is persuaded that combinations are pos-
sible by which it may be avoided.

Great alarm has been caused at the Porte St. Martin
Theatre by the reception of several anonymous letters,
addressed to the director, stating that the building was
undermined with gunpowder, and that the train would be
lighted during the performance of a piece. Treating the
matter at first as a hoax, M. Fournier eventually thought
it best to communicate with the police. A search being
made at night, two men were found concealed in the base-.
went behind the warming apparatus. Not being able to
give an account of themselves, they were removed to the
Prefecture. Many persist in thinking they are Fenians.
The Palnie publishes an article on the naval fleet of
France, in which it is stated that Admiral Rigault de
Genouilly, during the year in which he has been at the
head of the Marine Department, has given a fresh impulse
to-the work begun by his predecessors. He has adopted
many excellent measures, among which may be mentioned
the increase of the strength of the Atlantic and Mediter-
ranean squadrons. The Patric observes that France has
at present fifteen armour-plated frigates, including the
Gauloise, the Valeureus, and the Revanche, which are
the latest completed. The system of numerous squadrons
affords two special advantages : the first, that of extending
the instruction of officers and men by habituating them to
act in large masses ; the second, to test the new vessels,
not only in isolated manoeuvres, but together, so as by the
results observed to profit in the construction of the ships
now on the stocks or to be laid down. The creation of the
fighting fleet, it is argued, is not due to the military events
of 1866, as some French and foreign journals have
affirmed, but it was decided upon long before that epoch,
and its conception arose from no accidental circumstance,
but from the desire that France feels to place herself
always and in every respect in the van of progress.

Amongst the latest statistics published arc those giving
the number of merchant ships possessed by the different
countries in Europe. In all there are 100,000 ships,
of a total tonnage of 12 millions, manned by
600,000 sailors. Of this number, Great Britain has
27,868 vessels, France 15,254, Italy 13,223, Russia
1,416, Holland 2,227, Greece 4,452, Turkey 2,300, Sweden
2,236, Norway 2,552, Austria 9,491, Prussia 1,413, Spain
4,859, Germany 2,818, the Duchies, 2,552, Denmark 2,740,
Portugal 591.
The Pays has taken up the cudgels for lie Emperor.
I mentioned some days since that his Majesty had
ordered that the mattresses and bedclothes of poor
people placed at the Mont-de-Pigtd should be restored
to them free of charge. The Paris press has not been
so enthusiastic about this considerate act as the Pays could
have desired. It had hoped to find at least a few words
of recognition in the Paris journals—in those especially
which claim as their privilege the right of expressing the
popular sentiments. Some of them mention the fact,
but tot one has said " That was well done." In
this spontaneous act of solicitude for the laborious
classes the Siècle only. sees an occasion to call to mind all
the difficulties of the moment. The Emperor comes to the
help of the unfortunate ; that only proves that there are
unfortunate persons. This systematic ingratitude does
not astonish us. The sovereign knows it ; it can inspire
him neither with regret nor with anger. Whatever the
Emperor may do for Paris or the Parisians, the Opposition
journals will always blame him. When they cannot find
fault they will remain silent rather than render justice to
what is great and good. In vain would the Emperor
metamorphose the inhabitants of Paris into so many mil-
lionaires, the journals would only be more bitter in their
revolutionary crusade, the deputies of the capital only
more obstinate, and their votes and speeches only more
hostile. The justice of parties must never be counted on,
as that would be to expect too much from human nature.
But, at least, let this new example of injustice be appreciated
at its true value, and let the lesson profit for the future.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE CHARGE OF ROBBERY AGAINST A SOLDIER.
—John Rollinson, a private of the 2d battalion of
Grenadier Guards, charged with stealing two silver
watches of the value of £B, the property of Samuel
Cartwright, another private of the same battalion,
was again brought before Mr. Knox.
The prosecutor, a married soldier, residing at the
St. George's Barracks, deposed on the last occasion
to missing two silver watches, of the value of £B,
from his room, and subsequently seeing one of
them in the hands of a pawnbroker ; and George
Kelly, assistant to Mr. George Attenborough,
pawnbroker, of Fleet-street, swore positively to
the prisoner having offered him the watch in pledge,
and while a constable was sent for that he ran away,
and that he afterwards picked him out from others
at the barracks.

The prisoner having denied all knowledge of the
matter, and stated that he could call witnesses to
prove that he was in the barracks at half-past three
on the afternoon of the day in question, the hdur at
which the witness Kelly said he offered the watch
in pledge,

Mr. Knox remanded him that he might produce
his witnesses.

On the case being resumed, Sergeant Woolley,
the prisoner's sergeant, attended, and said that the
prisoner came into barracks about half-past 2 on
the day in question, and showed him a piece of
patchwork which he had been to redeem. He saw
the prisoner at work at the patchwork till a quarter
to four.

In answer to Mr. Knox the witness said the pri-
soner bore a good character.
Daniel Kidney, a private of the same battalion,
said that the prisoner showed him his patchwork
which he had fetched from a pawnbroker's, and he
saw the prisoner at work on it till about 4 o'clock.
Mr. Knox said that, on testimony of the sort
given before him, it would be useless to send the
case to a jury, as he felt certain that no jury would
convict on evidence of the kind, so he should there-
fore discharge the prisoner.
The witness Kelly asked what he was to do with
the watch.

Mr. Knox said the witness had better retain it
for a short time, as he did not believe they had
heard the last of the case.

THAMES.

ANOTHER LAVINGBURG.-TRICKS OF PAWN.,
BROKERS.-A poor Irish woman named Duggan
applied to Mr. Paget for a summons against the
firm of Crossby and Sons, pawbrokcrs, for an of-
fence similar to that for which the Jew Laviuburg,
of Broad-strict, Ratcliff, was fined £lO on Wednes-
day last. The applicant went to the house of
Crossby and Sons on Saturday last to pawn a
a clock, on which she asked ss. The pawn-
broker agreed to lend her 3s. 6d. only, and as she
wanted bread for her children she agreed to-accept
it. Three tickets were made out—one for the clock
2s. 6d., another fur the pendulum Gd, and the third
for the weights 6d. more.
Mr. Paget—flow much money did you receive ?
Mrs. Duggan— 3s. 4d. only. One halfpenny
was stopped for each ticket.

Mr. Paget said the pawnbroker had no right to
split up the clock into three distinct pledges. There
was one transaction, and the clock was not complete
without the pendulum and weights. He granted a
summons against Crossby and Sons.
RMITIERIES IN THE DOCKS. Fo,ur men were
brought up in custody before Mr. Paget charged
with stealing tea and coffee in the London and St.
Katherine Docks yesterelity afternoon. There are
vast quantities of tea and coffee in bales, bags,
chests, and boxes always lying about the quays,
warehouses, and sheds, and the temptation to steal
is very great. John Burney was stopped coming
out of the St. Katherine Dock with 21bs. of
tea in the sleeves of an overcoat across his
arm. He was sentenced to two months' imprison-
ment and hard labour for a similar offence in
1865. William Holmes was stopped as he was
leaving the London Dock with two ounces of tea
in his left hand coat sleeve, and two pounds of
coffee in his stockings. Thomas Davis was detained
with 2lbs. of tea in his stockings, and George Wm.
Huntou was in possession of 41bs. of tea, which was
found between his trousers and stockings and inside
his stockings. The prisoners set up the stale de-
fence that they picked up the tea and coffee in the
docks. _ .

Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoners each to two
months' imprisonment and hard labour in the House
of Correction.
