DARING ROBBERY IN A DOCK.—John Bowen, a
stevedore's labourer, was brought before Mr. Bon-
sou, charged with stealing a bottle of brandy from
a barge in the East India Dock.

Mr. Stoddart, solicitor, conducted the prosecution
for Middlemass and Horner, lighten-nen and barge-
owners, who, he said, were continually losing pro-
perty from their craft, and were determined to pro-
secute in every case where the thief was de•
tected.

A barge, containing 40 quarter casks, and 24
cases of brandy, was lying near a ship in the East
India Dock, and in the temporary absence of the
man in charge of the barge, the prisoner jumped on
board, tore the lid off a case of brandy, and took a
bottle of brandy from it. He then concealed the
brandy bottle under a tarpaulin, and went on shore.
his proceedings had been carefully watched by
James Sissions, Custom-house officer, who took
him into custody directly he stepped on to the quay.
The prisoner had been previously slinging goods on
board other craft.

The prisoner said he had been having a little drop
of drink, and that made him commit the robbery.
Mr. Charles Douglas, head constable in the East
India Dock, said the prisoner was a stevedore's
labourer, and had no right on board Middlemass
and Horner's barge. The brandy was to be put on
board ship.

Mr. Benson—The prisoner has committed a very
daring robbery in open day, one I never heard
equalled. The prisoner is sentenced to two months'
imprisonment and hard labour,
John Hallett, an elderly man, a labourer, was
brought before Mr. Benson, charged with stealing
nine ounces of tea, the property of the East and
West India Dock Company.
Yesterday afternoon, when the labourers were
leaving off work at four o'clock the prisoner was
among them, and he Was rubbed down and searched
by Joseph Cleaver, a constable, as he was leaving
the West India Dock at the principal gateway, and
nine ounces of tea were found in his pockets and
boots. The prisoner had been employed among
the teas in the warehouse.

The prisoner, in defence, said it was poverty
made me do it.

Mr. Benson—You aro adding to your poverty
and misery by robbery, and you will not be em-
ployed in'; he East and West India Dock any more.
The Prisoner—l have only been employed four
days in five weeks.
Mr. Douglas, head-constable, here said—l doubt
that very much. He is a preferable labourer. He
has been employed in the dock 15 or 16 years.
Mr. Benson—And he has now forfeited his pri-
vilege to work in the dock. lie s sentenced to six
weeks' imprisonment and hard labour.

THE TRIAL OF CAPTAIN NAGLE.

Mr. G. F. Train's lecturing tour is not likely to prove
so profitable a speculation as he was sanguine enough to
expect. In Waterford, Clonmel, and Limerick he has
been refused the use of the public rooms to hold his per-
formance in. He was announeeil to address an audience
in Sligo, but there, too, he was refused, and obliged to
postpone his "lecture." Ile intends to renew his attempt
upon Dublin, and, discarding the support of the classes
who take reserved seats, he hopes, or at least the manager
hopes, 'to induce a large assembly to attend by reducing
the price of admission to a low figure. Mr. Train's visit
to Sligo was partly to assist "Colonel" Nagle, and this
he proposed to do effectually, as appears from the charac-
teristic correspondence which is subjoined :

•S'TJPPRESSIQ.N OF DRUIVEENNESS.

A meeting of the Catholic Association for the Suppres.
sion of Drunkenness has been held at Exeter Hall. The
meeting, which was the first Roman Catholic one ever
held in that building, was very numerously attended.
Archbishop Manning presided, and Mr. John A. Smith,
M.P., and Mr. J. A. Blake, M.P., were present. Arch•
'oishop Manning criticised with much severity the present
legislation affecting the sale of liquor, and expressed his
strong belief that if the working men of England were
polled a great majority would vote against the mainte-
nance of these laws.—Mr. J. A. Smith said that he
would never have brought forward his bill did he not
believe, with the archbishop, that the great majority
of English working men were opposed to Sunday drinking.
He bad attended a public meeting at Manchi,ster, at
which working man after working man stood up and con-
demned his bill, not beeirtne they did not approve of
closing the public-houses on Sunday, but because they did
not think his bill went far enough.— The following reso-
lutions were unanimously adopted :—"'That this meeting,
viewing with deep anxiety the wide-spreading evil of
intemperance amongst our own people, leading to squalid
poverty and crime, and e►owding cur gaols and work-
house; would call upon all Catholics to support and
carry out the Catholic Association for the Suppression
of Drunkenness, which already numbers 50,006 mem-
bers, ninety priests, five bishops, and two archbishops.
This association embraces willingly all Catholic societies,
whether total or partial, which are engaged in making an
organised attack upon the enemy." " That this meeting
would urge upon all the importance of providing house!'
for honest relaxation and amusement, where the members
can meet in social intercourse, and spend a pleasant even.
ing at a trifling cost, instead of being driven to the public.
house, where they have to pay for permission to enter by
drinking." " That the spirit of Mr. Smith's bill, which
proposes to close beershops on Sunday against drinking
on the premises, and open them only for the supply of
what is needful to the public, is quite in accordance with
the rules of this association, and therefore merits the
united support of all the members."

BRIDPORT.

The directors in their report regret that for the
past half year the available balance of revenue,
£6lO, was insufficient for any dividend, except on
the preference shares, on which they proposed de-
claring a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per
annum. They call the attention of the shareholders
to the unsatisfactory relationship of the company to
the Great Western Railway Company, and express
an opinion that the time has arrived for collecting
the views and opinions of the shareholders thereon.
The directors state that when the working agree-
ment was negotiated between the two companies_it
was distinctly stated that the Bridport Company
were to receive a clear 47f per cent, of the gross
receipts, and that the remaining 52f per cent. was
to cover all expenses whatever of the Great Western
Company, or they would not have agreed to such
terms. The Bridport directors, therefore, contended
that nothing should be deducted for cartage or any-
thing else previously to a division of gross receipts.
The capital account showed that £112,068 had been
expended.

Palace, and as of course presentations to his Royal
Highness at this Court arc considered as equiva-
lent to presentations to her Majesty, there was a
very large attendance, a circumitance which is partly
to be accounted for. by the fact that so ling a time
has elapsed since the last Levee was held. The pre-

time. It is announced that the Prince of Wales

Sir,—Some months back I had an attack of Bronchitis,

unpleasant feelings. I was advised to try the BALSAM OF

per, and I earnestly hope that others may benefit by it as
I have done.—With many thanks from your obedient ser-
vant, SAMUEL DEAR,

NORWICH BARONETS.

The Star contains a letter from Mr. Darby Griffith
to answer the complaint of the venerable Tory, Sii
Samuel Bignold, that he (Mr. Griffith) had made
the statement about the bribe of a baronetcy. The
#ale was that Mr. R. J. H. Harvey, late M.P. for
Thetford, bad promised to titand for Norwich if the
Premier made him a baronet. Mr. Griffith, in his
letter, says that he did not originate the statement,
but merely called for an. " authoritative elucidation"
of it. Sir Samuel had denied the truth of it, and
now Mr. Harvey does the same, stating that he has
declined standing for Norwich,. as for other places, on
account of ill health. Norwich is supposed to have
a suspicious weakness for honours. Its one baronet
is Lord Leicester's legal agent, Sir William Foster ;
and its one knight is Sir Samuel Bignold, the secre-
tary to an insurance company. It has often been
said that the wealthy Mr. Harvey would like a handle
to his name, but if he and the Premier had a con-
spiracy Pn haAd they would hardly have made

contaerinal comrnunicatlon to the Star, and Mr.
C4riiiith- might have saved himself- trouble had he.
thought of this.

INSUBORDINATION.

A correspondent of the Til;:c3 draws attention t)
a letter written by Dr. Hampden, I.lte Bishop of
Hereford, Supposed to be the model of Trollope's
Bishop Preudie, to the late ..kretlibishop Whately, of
Du'Ain. This letter was written in the year 183 G.
f:nd in it Pr. Hampden notices the arrogance of the
party which objected to his appointment to
the Regius Professorship of Divinity. He says.:
" They exhibit themselves before the public
as the living representatives of their own extravagant
and false theory of traditions. They expect to be
listened to accordingly as sacred oracles, as carrying
weight in their ministerial capacity, holding them-
selves as the proper maintainers of the Divine apos-
tolical tradition, the true inheritors of What Kehl°
calls 'the episcopal grace.' They feel themselves far
above the condition of mere teachers and persuaders
of men. The various manifestoes and papers
which they. haVe published will stand as singular
monuments of this overbearing, anti-Christian spirit,
as I should call it." Ile considers it no wonder that
they should be despisers of all authority, professinc,
the highest reverence of Church authority in the
abstract, but treating with disrespect any existing
authority, or any actual minister of religion not of
their party. The Times contains a letter from
another correspondent, who lays the responsibility.
of Ritualism upon the bishops at Lambeth Con-
ference, because they held out their hands to the
Eastern Churches. " Why should the old/us of
the Blessed Virgin," he asks, " be correct at Constan-
tinople and heretical in the New-cut ?" It• is hardly
necessary to point- out that Constantinople owes no
allegiance to Lambeth Palace, and that the bishops
may desire communion with a Church holding errors,
when they would wish to keep those errors out of
OUT own.
London, England, 1868-10-19

DISARMAMENT.

It is obvious that the difficulties in the way of the dis-
armament project which has been ascribed to the
Emperor Napoleon are very numerous. But the Saturday
Review strives, and with a very plausible result, to prove
that the scheme is a practical impossibility. To begin at
home, England cannot disarm. We have no force
for a European war, but a large army is required
in India. Russia is every month annexing several
hundred square miles of Asiatic territory, and must garri-
son her acquisitions with large forces. Austria desires to
be as economical as possible, but her peculiar relations
with the East compel the maintenance of a large army.
Only Prussia and France remain. Are they likely to dis-
arm ? "In the midst of the utmost distrust as to the
prospects of peace, the belief has been almost uni-
versal that the Emperor himself did not wish
for a war, and the fear felt was lest he should be
forced into a war :of which he did not approve." A slight
reduction in the French army would not, therefore, indi-
cate any new policy in the Emperor, but merely that he
saw his way to making his peaceful policy prevail.

ADELPRI THEATRE.

On Saturday the winter season commenced with
the production of an entirely new adaptation of
Dumas' celebrated novel Monte Cristo, and after
the great labour and expense that has evidently
been bestowed upon the piece, it is regretable that
success did not crown the efforts of the artistes en-
gaged in its representation. Comparative failure
haslbeen the result of a desire to do too much—
to compress within the drama the many and in-
tricate plots of the original novel. Tha drama,
which occupied five heurs in representation, opens
with a prologue ; the arrival of the Pharon at Mar-
seiles and the arrest of Edmond Dantes, the bearer
of the letter of the ex-Emperor at the island of
Elba.. When the first act opens eighteen years are
supposed to have elapsed. Fernand, by treachery
in Greece, has become immensely wealthy, is
Count de Morcerf and a peer of France.
Dantes has been all these years in the
deepest dungeons of the Chateau d'lf, and
Villefort, who has kept him there, has become
Minister of Justice. Believing that Dantes is dead,
Mercedes marries Morcerf. The second act shows
the dungeons where Dantes and Faria are con-
fined, and a long explanatory statement by Faria
relative to the riches buried at Monte Cristo. By
this time the audience hal began to weary,and soon
afterwards unmistakable signs of impatience began
to show themselves. One of the audience cried,
" Speak out," another " Time," but by dint of good
acting Mr. Fechter restored attention, hut only
for a short time, as the next incident, the throwing
of Dantes instead of the dead prisoner, Faria, into
the sea, was so badly managed, that the most un-
favourable symptoms manifested themselves amongst
the audience. The next act opened with the inn
' of the Pont du Garde ; but here again the audience
showed still greater impatience for the climax. The
escape of Noirtier takes place, and then we get to
Paris, and retribution commences, as set forth in the
novel, by Dante's, now Count Monte Cristo, doing
all manner of remarkable things. There is the duel in
the forest of Vincennes, and the drama closes with
the starting of New Pharon from Mareseilles. At
the fall of the curtain, at a quarter to one, there
were loud sounds of disapprobation, mingled with
those of a more cheering description, but the sup-
porters of the piece were in the ascendant. The
acting of Mr. Fechter aid Mr. Webster throughout
the play was wonderfully good, and the artistic
manner in which they identified themselves with
the four different characters they had to assume
was surprising. Miss C. Leclerq, as Mercedes,
acted with great pathos and power, and Mrs. A.
Mellon as the young Count de Morcerf was par-
ticularly excellent. The piece has been placed upon
the stage in the most faultless manner, but every-
thing was marred by its inordinate length. If it is
to keep its place in the bills of the Adelphi it must
be cut down so as to bring its representation within
reasonable limits. It will be greatly improved by
the operation, and no doubt it will then become at-
tractive.

NOTIWICII DAITONETS.

Tho Star contains a.letter from Mr. Darby Griffith
to answer the eornpiatilt of the venerable Tory, Sit
Samuel Bignold, that lie (Mr. Griffith) had made
the statement about the bribe of a baronetcy. The
tale was that Mr. R. J. 11. Harvey, late M.P. for
Thetford, had promised to stand for Norwich if the
Premier made n a baronet, Mr, grillith, in hta
letter, says that he did not originate 'the statement,
but merely called for an " authoritative elucidation"
of it. Sir Samuel had denied the truth of it, and
now Mr. Harvey does_ the same, stating that he has
declined standing for Norwich, as for other places, on
account of ill health. Norwich is supposed to have
a suspicious weakness for honours. Its one baronet
is Lord Leicester's legal, agent, Sir William Foster ;
and its one knight is Sir Samuel Bignold, the secre-
tary to an insurance company. It has often been
said that the wealthy Mr. Ilarvey would like a handle
to his name, but if he and the Premier had a con.
piracy pn hand thew would hardy have made a

THE CROYDON MONUMENTS.

Mr. George Gilbert Scott has received a letter from
a rural dean in the diocese of Canterbury, con-
taining some suggestions as to the preservation of
the monuments in Croydon Church. He makes the
following suggestions :—That the Croydon Church
Fund consent to include the expense of making good
Wareham's monument, which has suffered less than
the others ; that the University of Oxford should be
appealed to for the cost of Archbishop Sheldon's
effigies ; that the contributions of the public at large
should effect Archbishop Whitgifes restoration; and,
lastly, he would reserve to the clergy of the province
the honour of raising £635, the amount necessary to
replace Archbishop Grindal's. He offers £5 for his
own share. Mr. Scott forwards the letter to the
Times, stating that it is written by one of the leading
and most respected incumbents in the diocese of
Canterbury.

REMARKS.

Barometrical pressure has increased generally since Saturday—the
change was greatest on the N. and W. coasts, but during the last
twenty-four hours the distributirn of pressure has been scarcely
changed. At southern stations readings are comparatively high, and
exceed those in the north by about three-tenths of an inch. Tem-
perature in most districts is much lower than it was on Saturday : the
diminution has been greatest on the E. coast. Moderate winds are
general this morning over these islands : on the W. coast of Ireland
they are southerly, but elsewhere they aro N. to W. A gale is reported
to have pas cd over the S. of Prance yesterday. Hail and sleet are
reported from places on our S. and W. coasts. Mist is prevailing ca
our E. coast, and in other districts the weather is cloudy.

COUNT BISMARCK AND HIS SOVEREIGN.

Some of the correspondents of the French papers
renew the old story that Count Bismarck's retirement
at Varzin is the result, not of illness, but of a quarrel
between the King of Prussia and his chief Minister.
The statesman had demanded the adoption of a
Liberal policy, but the King had refused. Count
Bismarck, after the manner of Richelieu, withdrew, and
has made it an indispensable condition of his return to
business that the policy of the Government should be
changed. It is to be presumed that the "liberal policy "
spoken of applies only to internal affairs. It has long been
announced that Count Bismarck was in favour of granting
a real and not a fictitious representation to Prussia. We shall
soon see, however, whether King William and his Minister
have quarrelled. A date has been fixed for Count Bis-
marck's return to business ; if he does not then leave
Varzin it will be time to consider these rumours. Of
course, a quarrel between the two leading men in North
Germany would not be unwelcome in France ; but it
appears that some of the German papers also tell this
story.

A deficit is expected to be revealed when the Budget is
brought before the Chambers. Here is another difficulty.
Loans are not thought of in Prussia, and the Chancellor
will not consent to further reduce the army.

TEE, VEXED QUESTION.

Correspondents of the Mid' encouraged by the
" no-policy " of the Premier, still seem to have an
idea that something may be done to save the funds of
the Irish Church, in , the way of levelling up.
" Anglican " and" Pro Lege " have found admirers
and now an Irish "D.L." comes forward to "strengthet
their hands." He endeavours to do so by extracting
from a charge to his clergy by Dr. Moriarty, the
Roman Catholic Bishop of Kerry, delivered last year.
Dr. Moriarty declares in this cinotation that as a
matter of political expediency mere voluntaryism
would be the right thing for Ireland. But " such an
arrangement would supply a precedent and sanction
for unjust and sacrilegious spoliation." "There is not
one man in the British Legislature, no matter to what
party he belongs, or how small his intelligence, who
must not see that it is manifestly unjust to hand
over to a small section of the comnmnity those revenues
whiphwere set apart to supply the wants of the nation.'
But this objection would not be tenable were the
money paid into the Imperial treasury and disbursed
without favour to the different bodies. At the same
time the doctor would have the clergy dependent on
the people for food and raiment. He would raise the
Roman Catholic Church " to a social and legal level''
with the Protestant, and give to it, moreover, a higher
tone, by leaving its clergy unenclowed. The " Irish
D. L," thinks this clearly hew that the Roman
Catholics would not reject endowment.

A3IERICA.

According to a telegram from the correspondent of the
Times, the Democrats have not gained Indiana. They
have advanced in that State to the extent of 13,000 votes,
but still the Republicans have managed to secure a
majority of 1,000. In Ohio the Republican majority is
reduced to 16,000. The Democrats have gained seven
members of Congress by the elections that have been held
during the week.
