CHILDREN'S DINNERS.

Lords Shaftesbury and Ebury, Dean Stanley, and
others appeal to the benevolent for funds to help
them to give children's dinners. The amount received
in answer to their public appeal in December 1807;
was about £1,200. The sum expended in grants to
various localities where great distress prevailed,
during the first six months of this year, was £844.
The number of dinners given during the same period
at eighty-seven dining-rooms opened in conn ection with
their society was about 85,000.. The weekly dinners were
resumed in October last; and since that time grants
to the amount of £302 have been made, representing
nearly 30,000 dinners. The total sum disbursed has,
therefore, been £1,140, and the total number of
dinners has been 115,000. The wants of the poor
are urgent, but the operations of the charitable are
everywhere restricted by want of funds. The news-
papers are full of appeals for charity as winter
approaches. Private charities, well directed, may
yet do something to mitigate the horrors' which set
our poor-law system at defiance.

MARK LANE.

At Mark-lano to-day there was not an extensive at-
tendance of the trade, but the general tone of the trade
was firmer. The wheat, though not actually dearer,
was held for rathetf' more money, and an advance
in quotations may take place before the end of the day.
Barley was firm, and malting qualities could not be bought
for the same money as last market day. Oats wore in
fair request at an advance of 3d. to 6d. Maize was rather
dearer.

A ROMANTIC BANKRUPTCY CASE.

At the Taunton County Court, Miss Catherine Govier,
dressmaker, North-town, Taunton, a bankrupt, came up
for the last examination and discharge. The bankrupt
was engaged to be married to a young man in India, and
some time since he sent her a considerable sum of money
to proceed to India to be married to him. A portion of
the money she spent in purchasing an outfit becoming a
lady about to be married, and gave up her business.
Just as she was about to leave this country she received
a letter from her lover stating that he had changed his
mind, that he should not marry her, and therefore it
would be useless for her to think of coming to India. To
make matters worse, he wrote to his friends in England
and gave them the money he had sent to Miss Govier. She
refused to give it up, and they brought an action for its
recovery at the last Wells Assizes. The verdict passed
against her, the learned judge who tried the cause ob-
serving that she had good grounds for breach of promise
of marriage against her gay deceiver. The cost of
defending the action amounted to £5O, and this, together
with the loss of £2O she had lent her father, who had since
become bankrupt, had entirely ruined her. There was no
opposition, and his Honour granted the bankrupt her dis-
charge.

RELEASE OF SIR. CULLING EARDLF.Y.

Sir Culling Dudley, Bart., who in January last
was sentenced to a term of imprisonment for bigamy,
has been released, through the influence of
the late Government. For some time past
his state of health was such that the
medical authorities of the House of Detention
ordered his removal to the infirmary. Representa-
tions on the highest authority having been made to the
late Home Secretary to the effect that unless he were
released his illness would probably terminate fatally,
a free pardon was granted by the Crown, subject, it
is understood, to the proviso that until the expiration
of the original sentence Sir Culling shall absent
himself from England. In accordance with this
stipulation he has already left for Madeira.

MR. COBDEN'S LETTER.

Mr. F. Milnes Edge writes to the Star to say that
the letter written by the late Richard Cobden upon
the subject of the Alabama depradations, which has
recently appeared in the newspapers, was addressed
to him. Ile did not authorise the publication of it,
and is at a loss to know how the editor of the Boston
Advertiser obtained possession of a copy. The
original is in Mr. Edge's possession. The letter
is certainly not addressed to an American friend,
as stated in the Boston Advertiser, for,
says Mr. Edge, "however strongly Mr. Cobden
felt in regard to our short-sighted policy as a nation
during the American war—and his conversations
with me were far more emphatic than his correspon-
dence—he would, as an Englishman, have adopted a
widely different tone when discussing the question
with an American." Unless Mr. Cobden retained a
copy of this letter, and his executors have parted
with this copy, the only conclusion for Mr. Edge is
that he has a spy in his confidence.
London, England, 1868-12-18

to enter upon the discharge of the duties which
were so hastily and injudiciously entrusted to his
appointed care is what few have ventured to antici-
pate during the past fortnight. Should the Govern-
ment determine to cancel his appointment, the pub-
lic will feel less surprise than relief. If John Law-
rence agrees to place his services at the country's dis-
posal for another year, ho will add another to the
many claims he has upon his country's gratitude.
At this moment there are signs which give the
skilled observers of Indian affairs no little concern.
The restlessness of the Wahabees is at once marked
and ominous. No apprehension need be enter-
tained as to the consequences so long as Sir John
Lawrence is at the head of affairs, nor would the
public have any ground for alarm were the Marquis
of Salisbury, or some administrator of tried firm-
ness and acknowledged ability, responsible for the
peace of our Eastern Empire. The public may rest
assured that, whatever the ultimate decision may
be, the gravity of the question at issue is thoroughly
felt by the present Government.

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 does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

THE S.P.C.X.

It is not to be wondered at if a meeting which
broke up in such " admired disorder " as that of the
late S.P.C.K. meeting should cause some dissatisfac-
tion and dispute. The irrepressible Archdeacon of
Taunton has written to the secretaries to complain,
as one of the tellers, that there were nine boxes for
collecting the " Noes," and eight only for the " Ayes."
He hears that it was very difficult to obtain access to
the " Ayes" box. After the contents of the boxes
had been entered a tenth box of " Noes" was added
to the column of votes. He believes that if the votes
of all who attended or tried to attend the meeting for
the purpose of voting had been collected, the amendment
would have been carried by a considerable majority.
He also thinks that some members voted under a
mistake. He gives notice that he will propose the
introduction of voting papers in future. A secretary
replies to Archdeacon Denison that an equal number
of boxes were provided, though only seven were used
on one side, in consequence of the crush, and that
some members who were unable to record their
votes by the boxes came up to the table
afterwards and voted. A sub-committee is to be
appointed to consider the expediency of introducing
voting papers. It is too late now to remedy any
mistake which may have occurred. The room at the
London Tavern was much too small for the number,
especially as that number, though chiefly clergymen,
signalised themselves by conduct little less violent
than " free and independent electors " on nomination
day, or a body of " Nottingham lambs,"
London, England, 1868-12-18

IMPORTANT TO TRADES' UIdIOZ;49.

. man named William Blackburn, a bricklayer, treasurer tc
an operative bricklayers' lodge in Shoreditcb, was on Thurs-
day charged with stealing .£l7 3s. Oid., the moneys of Joseph
Derry and others, members of the lodge. The prisoner
had been treasurer from December, last year, to June
27th of the present year, when the deficiency was disco-
vered. He admitted that he had appropriated some part of
the amount, and lost the remainder, and he promised to
make good the amount, but he absconded on the follow-
ing day, and was not apprehended for a few months. Vha
question was whether the offence was committed before or
after the passing of Mr. Russell Gurney's Act " to amend
the law relating to larceny and embezzlement." The jury
returned a verdict of guilty, and he was sentenced to six
months' imprisonment.

IMPORTANT PROSECUTION BY THE
COMMISSIONER OF POLICE.

Charles Marsh, police-constable, 462 N, was on Thursday
charged before Mr. Cooke, at the instance of the Com-
missioner of the Metropolitan Police, with having been
guilty of neglect of duty as a police-constable of the metro-
politan police in not patrolling his beat for three hours
and forty minutes on. the morning of the 14th inst.,
whereby a burglary was effected thereon at the parish of
Islington. The case was proved by the evidence of other
constables. Inspector Taylor, N division,having remarked
that these proceedings were instituted by order of Captain
Harris, said that if the beat had been properly worked by
the defendant, a burglary which was committed in Union-
square would have been prevented. The defendant's plea
was that he had to work three beats instead of
two and a half, and that he had been mistaken in the time.
Mr. Cooke said the case was very satisfactorily proved,
and he therefore sentenced the defendant to pay a fine of
£5, or to be imprisoned for a month, adding that this
was probably not the worst part of the punishment the
defendant would receive, as he supposed that after his
conviction he would be discharged.
