Viscount HARDINGE asked tbe noble earl the Secretary for War whether he had any objection to lay before the h ou se a copy of the regulathess which had been promised by his lamented pride:ewe (Mr George Lewis) relative to the volunteer force. Earl DE GREY and RIPON said that some misuoder• stand* appeared to exist upon that point. The late Sir George Lewis bed not promised to lay the regulation referred to before parliament, but bad stated that on the smood reading of the bill (which would be brought this week before the Howe of Commons) he would state the nature of those mutations. If the clauses of the bill should be adopted there would be no objection to lay the regulations on the table of either house. These regulations would merelyrefer to the'discipline of the force, for the pur pose of determining the amount of efficiency which would entitle them to the proposed government allowance.

MAJESTIC. Mr. HADFIELD asked the Secretary to the Admiralty if his attention had bees alined to an article which appeared In the Liverpool Mercury respecting the flogging of one of the crew of her Majest ■ ship Majestic ; whether the particulars therein stated were correct; whether the rnialiment was inflicted is the presence of a surgeon ; and if he would lay a oopy of the proceedings of the court martial before the house. Lad C. Piairrepl;ed that his attention had been called to • vile sad tricked libel on one of the moot distinguished officers in her Majesty's navy which had appeared in • Liver- pool newspaper. That libel was too loathsome for him to repeat at length to the house, but the substance of it wan that a man had bees flatipd on board the Majestic until be fasted, that Captain Eagisdeld was seen to smile during the infliction of the pa' t, sad that immediately after the man was placed is • dark and dismal cockpit. It • wee minecrimery for hisa (Load C. Paget) to describe Captain Peglefield's character to the house. That officer was distinguished for his bravery, had gone three times to the North Pole is search of Sir Joha Franklin, and was known to be one of the most kind-hearted officers in the navy. The house would be glad to hear what was the opinion of those who had the honour of serving under that distin guished officer. Whee the crew and petty officers of the Majestic read this malicious libel in the Liverpool Mercury they came aft to the captain and asked permission to ace the calumny. They instructed the petty officers to prepare a letter to be sent to the editor of the newspaper, which he should read to the house, first premising that the writing of such a letter was an irregularity, and bad been censured by the Admiralty, which never allowed any correspondence with the newspapers. Is this coos, how ever, the provocation was so gnat and the injury so serious that the captain allowed the letter to be publi sh ed. 'dev ise been published, be (Lord C. Paget) had no scruple in reading it to the house. It was as follows :—" Gentle men—With surprise and indignation we read hi your columns of to-day • envies of a punishmest which took place on beard her Majesty's ship Majestic on the 22nd inst. of • me a for mutinous conduct ; and we, on behalf of the ship's company, beg to state that it is untrue, and that, instead of W order for punishment being given in a stern meaner by the captain, it was one more of regret. It is also stated in your paper that Captain Eoglefield stood by sad smiled during the infliction of the punishment, instead of which he was noticed by us scarcely to take his eyes from the deck. The man did sot hist, but quite the contrary. Further, it is customary for soon who are sentenced to imprisonment to be placed iter the fore cockpit, with • sentry over them, for leer of demelien. This cockpit is • well-ventilated place, sad, from the number of lamps, is nearly as light as the upper deck. Mort of the officers' cables are placed on the same deck. We most also remark that the man's offence, Wised of bass of • trifling nature, wan one of a very gross waters, particularly on two occasions to the command * officer—Gook • one, in fact, as no true British tar would be capable of. It was an offence which could say be cosnatited by those who ware pests to society. This ass bad for falser offences been sentenced to cells on board and gaols on shore, and nothing could reclaim hint. It is with spontaneous feelings that we write these facts to that our captain, whom we all hamar and respect for his peat killdeer, combined with strict discipline, as is proved by so many of us volunteering to remain after we have been paid off. There are men now on board who have been several years is the ship, sod who have never committed any breach of discipline . It should be remembered that the captain had no power to mitigate the sentence of • court martial which had beim confirmed by the Admiralty." This letter was signed by 35 petty officers of the Majestic. (Hear. hear.) Now, he (Lord C. Paget) could only say that Captain Englefield had merely carried out the sentence if • court-martial, by order of the Admiralty, cm • man who bad been guilty of gross issubonlination in striking hit superior officer whilst on duty. (Hear, hear.) He tested that the house would join with him in expressing 'egret and indignation that any newspaper could think fit te publish so grievous and moss • libel on a distinguished nicer without any proof beyond a mere anonymous letter. He had only farther to add that the man who wrote the Wier forged another sae's signature to it, and that the matter was sow undergoing judicial THE RECENT DISTURBANCE IN A ROMAN CATHOLIC CHAPEL AT CAMBRIDGE. Mr. POLLAID-IJUQUHART mid with refavece to • sake white appe ared m his IMMO OD the paper, that aim* be had gives notice he had received a letter from the prism of the chapel to question to the effect that the anti:m ettles of the university had taken up the matter in the most prompt and satisfactory manner. and that he (the priest) wirs auzious that so further notice ehould be taken of the weir. Uader theme circumacences he (Yr. Pollard. 'Urquhart) begged to withdraw his notice, and to express his regret that he bad placed it oo the paper. THB CASE OF SERGEANT-MAJOR LILLEY. The Marquis og HARTINGTON requested his hon. friend the member for Audover to postpone the question of which be had given notice, ma some new information re opecting the case of the late Sergeant-Major Lilley hod her brought to the notice of the War-Aloe, and was time under consideration. Under these circumstances it would be impoesible for him at that moment to give the information required by his hon. friend as fully ea he could wish. Mr. FORTESCUE was understood to weeds to the request of the aohle marquia. THE ROMAN BRIGANDS IN FRENCH UNIFORMS. Er. HENNEPIN bege4 to ask the noble lord at the head of the government, whether a certain despatch had lees received from Mr. Odo Russell, of which mention bad been made on a former evening, and in which Mr. Rummell contradicted a former despatch of his own ' • and whether if so, that despatch had so, been sent to the French govern ment. Perhaps he (Mr. Hennessy) might be permitted to state from his own knowledge of Mr. Rommel!, that that gentleman was a most able diplomatist, soda gentleman of the highest bosom. 'Viscount PALMERSTON said that he did not know any object that eonld be served by miming a discussion as to what Mr. ()do Russell had said to General Montebello, or wh►t the latter bad said to Mr. Boatel!, except that of establishing bad relations between the two at Rome. Mr. Russell had merely stated what be had heard, namely, that bands of tripods in French uniforms had emceed the frontier thus deceiving the Italian patrols. Gametal Montebello 'denied the fact, and Mr. Bowen hod merely spoken from information he had roared ; but the only important part of the matter was that MO of these brigands had actually crossed into the Neapolitan territory. An to their being in French uniforms, no blame was attached to the Free& on that amount, as it was not pretended that the clothes were gives by their authority. Mr. Rostell Mated to General Mootebello that he km,w the practice was to sell all the cost off aad worn out uniforms toils@ Jews in the Ghetto, from wheat they were seat to certain memento on the frostier, where arms were alai, conceeled. The brigands west to those convents ow by one, and then sallied forth in armed bands into the Neapolitan territory. h his despatch Mr. Russell said that General Montebello had told him that such must have bees the case, but that he would pre►ent such circumstances takiog plata io future, giviog his word of honour that se armed man should Woos firth pass into the Neapolitan territory with his knowled If anything of that kind hod !opposed since, it could only bemire the agents of General irostebello had not been so impartial and intelligent as they ought to have been. The view, however, which be (Lord Palmerstos) took of the smatter was, that Rome being governed bye French garrison, and the Pope being merely a poppet in the hands of the latter. it rested with the Fres& gerrisoo to prevent the committee, which he believed was sitting en permanence, from sending bands of brigands to commit outrages on the Neapolitse territory. He had been told—he bored net truly—that a great expedition was contemplated for this present month el May. THE I'XVIESS, WEDNISDAY FVENING, MAY 13, 1863. Lord J. MANNERS asked whether the noble lord was I prepared to lay upon the table the despatches upon which he had based such osmium charges against the sovi.reign of a neighbouring and friendly coun I Vaicount PALMERSTON said it was altogether a new doctrine that a minister, when making a statement founded on tuts which bad come to his knowledge, was bound to lay on the table the documenta from which be bad derived his knowledge. He admitted no such principle. (Hear, hear.) If a minister read a paper to the house he was bound to lay it on the table. He had made no charge against the Pope except that he was overrides by 20.000 reach troops, and that both he and his (nerds were reeponaible for the present state of things, as without their joint permission bands of brigands could not sally forth for the purpose of committing outrages on the Neapolitan territory : Lout J. MANNERS saki that he did not wish to enter ioto a controversy with the noble lord, and should, there fore, merely repeat hie question, which the noble lord had not yet answered. Would the noble lord lay co the table the despatch upon which the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs had founded has argument on • former evening Viscount PALMERSTON said he would look at the deepetch, and see whether there was anything in it. (A laugh.) THE lONIAN ISLANDS. . Mr. ROEBUalnsoved;n . addrer forcopy of memorials presented by Sir George Mamoru and Sir Typaldo Xydru, on the 16th of September, 1562, to Major-General Sir H. Storks, her Majesty's Lord High Commissioner io the lonian Islands. He stated the case of the two gentlemen in ques tion, judge; of the Supreme Court, who, he said, bad passed a long life in honour and in doing service to England, and had been treated with injustice in being removed without our assigned. He wanted to know why they had been so treated. FORTESCUE, °Marring that there would be no difficulty about producing the memoriab and the comes• poodence connected with them, said the ore of these two gentlemen must be judged by the law and cortitution of the lonian Maeda, and that their noe-reeppointment was justified by the charter and u a measure of polic►. He had not a word to my spinet their character, and they would enjoy their passions ; but there were considaratious which had operated upon the mind of Sir H. Storks and his senate in not reappointing them, and the decision bad been received with satisfaction in the Wands. PEEL, 1ro; aloud bnowledge of Sir Henry Storks, bore testimony to his high character. He was the last mao, be maid, who would be guilty of an unconstitu tional or a bomb action. ht the question should not be looked at as one peceooally affecting Sir H. Stocks. Upon the face of the case, it appeared to be a wrong indicted upon these two geo times, and Mr. Fortesene had made so answer to this case other than by showing, what wan not denied, that the set was legal by the ooestitution. All that Mr. Roebuck said was that these two gentlemen, in being died without cause, bad been plated in a position most unfair to them. Mr. EVANS likewise considered the answer of Mr. Festinate to be unsatisfactory, and that these two gentle men had caule of complaint. . . . Mr. COCHItANE with Lord Stanley that these gentlemen had been placed in a most math position. Mr. HENLEY observed that the question in disease was not of power, bat of discretion and of peaaoes, and be could not gather from Mr. Forteecne why gentlemen should not have been re-appointed according to the almost uniform ce The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQITER reminded the house of the peculiar position of the miss islands towards this country, and the dithonithe attending their government. He described from his own personal observa tion the political condition of the iskniln and the state of patties there, the party of "Friends of the Protection" looking to the reteotion of office in their lathe. It was not for him to may in what degree these two genthmen were connected with parties; but the sonata of the laden Islands, at once a legislative and an executive body, in ceder to con vince the lonian people of their intentioe to mitablish honesty and free government, thought it their duty not to reappoint theme two gentlemen. All that fir H. Storks could do was to put a veto upon the act. The lonian authorities were not amenable to that home, which was not called upon to pronounce an opinion upon the merits of the act • be thought it • win and just act. After a few words from Mr. COIMIGRAM sad a reply by Mr. Rosanne, the motion was agreed to. eta Intditstnct. TER COMMON LAW COURTS . COURT UP 112URLS1 WINCH.

GIBBON. Thia was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover compensation in damages for an wank and false imprison meet. The defendant pleaded a justification. Mr. Serjeset Parry and Mr. Montague Williams were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Kerslake, Q.C., for the de fendant. -- 16.11erjeant Parry, in opening the plaintiff's cue, said the plaintiff was at present a comedian at the Lyceum Theatre. He was a gentleman who had formerly resided with his wife in America, where they practised the mo fusion of an actor and actress, having married in February, 1868. In the year 1861 they came to England, and he obtained an engagement at the Prinowe's Ttre, whilst his wife, contrary to his wishes, accepted an engagement which was offered her by Mr. Dion Boucioault at Drury-lane Theatre. The defendant was a colonel in her Majesty's service, and the present action was brought in consequence of the defendant's having caused him to be taken to a police station in the custody of • policeman upon an entirely unfounded charge. The plaintiff and his wife, when they first came to England, went to reside frith Mr. and Mts. Charles Mathews, at Fulham, for some time, and afterwards they took lodgings at No. 60, Pall-mall, and ultimately in Regent-street. Whilst living in Regent. street the plaintiff bad reason to doubt his wife's fidelity, and in consequence of • communication made by her with respect to Mr. Boucicault, be separated from her, and she returned to her former lodgings, 60, Pall-mall, to reside. On the evening of the 3rd September, 1862, the plaintiff beard that Mr. Boucicault had made an appoint meat to meet his (the plaintiff's) wife at her lodgings, and he thereupon, with a gentleman named Jameson, repaired to the house in Pall-mail. They watched in the street for some time, and ultimately about 12 o'clock • brougham stopped at the house, and bay ing deposited • lady who the plaintiff believed was hie wife, then drove up Bing-sheet, St. James's. Mr. Jame son remained watching the bona, whilst the plaintiff fol lowed the brougham. Having discovered that the broatam stopped in front of Mr. Bouricaulth office, he returned to Mr. Jameson, and after watching the house for some time • lady appea red at an open window, as if watching for some one. Afar a fts of • few minutes Mr. Boucicault came down St. Jamesl-street, into Pall-mall, and walked up and down in front of the house until the lady opened the door and let him W. The plaintiff immediately walked up to the door, and find* it shut be knocked, and it was opened by his wife. The . plainti ff add, " Where is that man Boucioult ? She replied, "He is here, but for heaven's sake doe 't expose me." The plaintiff then went upstairs and searched his wife's rooms, but could not had Mr. Boucicsull He then searched the second floor, which was unoccupied, and was proceeding to the third flo o r when be was met by the defend. ant, who occupied that suite of apartments. He informed the defendant what he was there for, and the defendant said he might search the rooms. He proceeded to do so. One of them was locked, but he could not find Mr. Boucicault in either of the other rooms. The plaintiff, upon this, considered that the defendant bad connived with Mr. Boucicault for the latter's security in the house. He implored the defendant to allow him to search that room, and be allowed to turn Mr. Boucicault out of the house. The landlady at that time made her appearance upon thelanding, and the defendant refund the plaintiff any satisfaction whatever, and ordered the plaintiff out of the house. He refused to go until be bad seen Mr. Boucicault out of the house. A policeman than cone upon the landing, and the defendant or&nd him to remove the plaintiff. The policeman refused to do so, alleging that he had no authority, and upon that the defendant gave the plaintiff into the policeman's custody. He was conveyed to the Vine-street police-station, where the plaintiff was charged with creating it disturbance in the house No. 60, Pail-mall, but the defendant, when he was asked to sign the charge-aheet, refused to do so, upon which the inspector on duty discharged the plaintiff. The learned serjeant, in concluding his opening to the jury, mid that the matter had been the subject of conversation through out the whole of the profession of which the plaintiff was a member. It was a matter of great annoyance to him, and be now came before the jury to recover moderate—he would not ask for excessive—damages for the purpose of vindi- Galin hie character. The plaintiff was called, and corroborated the learned counsels opening. In cross-examination he said Mr. Jameson did not go with him to the police-station. He was there about 10 minutes. He met him as he was going out. Jameson did not say he was sorry that witness had used such abusive language to the defendant. He (witness) did say "Good night" to the defendant, and he was very sorry if the landlady had been annoyed in any manner. He was not more excited than any man would be expected to be under such circum stances. He had known Mr. Boimicault 10 years. He separated from hie wife about a week before this occurrence. He heard previously to his going to the house that Mr. Bond i:Ault wu on an i ll icit intercourse with witness's wife. He watched the was oe one occasion previous to the night in questioo. Be knew at the time that the house was let out in different Soon. He was not engaged io ao altercation with Mrs. Clark, the landlady, when the defendant made his appearance on the landing. It was very likely that he said, She has admitted—l wool say a gentleman— a scoundrel." Mrs. Clark said that he might go down and waft in his wife's apartments, but she would not allow him to remain upstairs. Witness did not say, upon leaving the policeetation, that be would not return to the house. He bad no cause to do so. He believed at the time that the defendant bad cowealed Mr. Boucicault, and bad re moved him to the polies-station to enable Mr. Boucicault to=Mrs. Jordan had since returned to America. Daily, 47 0, proved that be was called into the house to take the plaintiff into custody. He refused to do so on his own responsibility, and the defendant thereupon said he would give him into custody. Cross-examined—The defendant said. "I want that gen tleman rwnoved from this hones." Witness said, " Why?" The defendant relied, "He is creating a disturbance, and refuses to leave. At the police-statioo Colonel Gibbon said he would not press the charge if the plaintiff pro wled not to return to the house. The plaintiff promised not to do eo, and the parties then left the station-house. Witham saw no more of them after that. This was the plaintiff's cue. ---- Mr. Manlike, in opening the defence to the jury, said the question far their determination was not whether Mr. Bouci exult had had illicit connexion with Mrs. Jordan, or whether Colonel Gibbon had endeavoured to conceal Mr. Bonciesult. It was admitted that be had not. The only question was whether the plaintiff had a right to insist upon remaining in the bouse in question contrary to the wishes and direc tion of the landlady, Mrs. Clark. The fact. as presented to them by the defendant were these. On the night in ques- Moe the defendant returned from the Army and Navy Club to his lodgings at the house in question, and found Mr. )Lorden in violent altercation with the landlady and bin wife. Relearns that the plaintiff had rushed up stairs in a very excited state, declaring that Mr. Boucicault was in the house, and he would not leave till be had found him. The landlady, who was asleep at the time, was awoke by the noise, and, descending the staircase, (rood Mr. Jordan talking in a very loud voice, and declaring that he would find Mr. Boucicault. In his fury be upset the landlady and nearly threw her down stairs ; and it was about that point a the transactios that Colonel Gibbon made his appeannee. He endeavoured to induce the plaintiff to be quiet, but without say avail, and for that reason alone he sent for a policeman end ordered his removal from the house. They went to the polinatation together, where the plaintiff said that if the defendant would not sign the charge-sheet he would not Meru to the house. They thereupon left the police-sta. tics together, and outside they met Mr. Jameson, who maid he bad seen Mr. Boucieault leave the bone. The de fondant said, " Now you most be satisfied ; that was all you wanted." The plaintiff replied, "It was° They then entered into a conversation together respecting the plain tiff's wife, and the plaintiff promised to all upon the land lady the next morning, and express his sorrow if he had caused her any annoyance. The plaintiff and defendant then raised their hats to ogre another, and after that they parted. The defendant heard no more of the transaction until the receipt of an attorney's letter in September fol owing, demanding compensation for the plaintiff, and asking for the name of the defendant's solicitor. To that the defendant answered, and on the following day he received the writ in this action. The learned counsel contended that if the facts as above were proved to the satisfaction of the jury the defendant was entitled to the verdict. The plais tiff in the first instance was committing a disturbance is, the housed Mr.. Clark, who was an unprotected lady, her husband being at the time se ill ss to be unable to attend to any bunions. The plaintiff had no right in the house, and was committing a tramper, for which the lady might have used sufficient force to eject him. Then the rooms upon the third floor were the apartments of the defendant, and for the purpose of this action if the plaintiff was com mitting a trespass there the former had a right Widen bum, and it wan on those grounds that the learned cannel inked for • verdict for the defendant. Colonel Gibbon was called. and corroborated the learned mangers opening with respect to the pert which he took in the traumatic's, and stated that the plaintiff was very vio ' hut sod excited, and instated upon searching the house for the purpose of finding Mr. Boucicault. Had he been lees violent witness would have opened the bedroom that wee locked for Mr. Jordan. Witness did not know that Mr. Bouillonlt was in tee boom. When be left his rooms the bedroom hi emotion wee net locked. When he returned it wee. It must have Use locked from the inside. He never sided Mr. Boacicault in his secretion in the house. Mrs. Clark wet called, sod said—lt was late at night wise tiro plastid wee to the house. All the isolates woe in bed with the exciaptioneitlm Jordan end Colonel Gibbon. When she met Hr. Jordan on Me h l:IV:1 he was in a very excited state. In his ezeiternewl hepush ed her down, and the candle which she held in her was blown out. She was very nearly thrown down stairs. The lard Chief Jutke left two queetions to the jog first, were they satisfied with the account given by the plaintiff or defendant; and secondly, supposing they found for the plaintiff, what damages had he sustained la conse quence of the defendant brain given him into the custody of • policeman, and awned him to be taken through the streets in the middle of the night to the Vine-street police station. Supposing they found for the defendant, the parties had agreed that they (the jury) should assess the damages the plaintiff was entitled to, supposing the court should hereafter decide that he had a right to recover in this action, and prevent the cam from being sent down for trial again. The jury, after a consaltatioe of about half an hour, re turned the following verdict : "We find a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 251. Wean of opinion that the plaintiff peaceably entered the house. He did rush upstairs, but rod the defendant's rooms by his desire." The Lord Chief Justice—Then 3oa find the second plea is nos proved ? The Jury—We do. Verdict for the plaintiff accordingly. This closed the after.term sittings at Westminster. The courts will sit at Guildhall this day (Wednesday). COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-MAY 12. Sittinp - at ?Ind Prins in hqdrUessz.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Erie and a Oommor; Jury.) THOMPSON P. KING.-THR LATI lON FOR (Concluded from yesterday's Express.) Mr. Serjeent Shoe at the conclusion of the plaintiff's cue, intimated that he should all no witnesses. His Lordship thereupon suggested the propriety of some arrangement between the parties, but after consultation with clients the natation wee not adopted. Mr. Serjeaot Parry consequently proceeded to sum up, contending that as the course taken by the defendant's counsel admitted that the imputation was unfounded, the justice of the case required that substantial damage' should be awarded. . . . . Mr. fileejeant Shea, in addressing the jury for the de fendant, submitted that the evidence for the plaintiff substantially proved the allegation that Mr. Thompson had received reward for addrmaiog the meeting as an advocate of Captain m.o..inasmuch as debts for which Mr. Thompson was liable had been paid by the captain. If, however, the jury should not be satisfied that this was so, be submitted to them that the articles made no serious imputation upon him ; they did not say that Mr. Thompson had advocated principles which he did not believe to be true, but that be had been paid for his advocacy of what he considered to be right, and under these circumstances surely • small amount of damages would be sufficient to meet the joetice of the case. The jury, after considering the matter for three-quarters of an hour, found • verdict for the plaintiff—damages, 1501. SECOND COURT. Sittings at Niai Prins it. tiliddlsex.—fliedore Mr. Justice Williams and a Common Jury.) lIMERENOTON r. BRADY.-DITINDI TOE DISTAISING • ME. PLAY. The plaintiff in this cs;ewasai; attorney's clerk, and he claimed to recover damages from Mr. Brady, M.P. for Let. trim, upon the ground that that gentleman had detained a manuscript play of his. Mr. Lloyd appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. fd'hfahon and Mr. Philbnck for the defendant. The plaintiff's case was that he mentioned to the defea. dent the fact of his having written a drama called Prim, and knowing that the defendant bad influence, he asked him to read it and assist him in getting it represented upon the stage. The defendant said, "Let me have it, and I will Use my beet influeooe with the metropolitan minimum for you." After the Easter recess he saw Mr. Brady in the lobby, and asked his opinion of the play. Mr. Brady lifted up his hands, and said, " I here carefully read it, and it is a great delight ; we can't talk over it here, but you must see me at my house." Mr. Brady's account, however, was very different. He said that if was true that the plaintiff had offered to let him have the drama, but that he never asked hint for it. Further he was not aware that be had the MS. until Sun day last, when be discovered it in a drawer. In reference to the question of damages it was said that the play was subteen= from Mr. Sheridan Knowles' drama of Brian Borish ate : and a good deal of amusement was caused by reading the two to show the similarity that there was. The plaintiff said that he had not written his play from that of Mr. Sheridan Knowles. Another circumstance was that the plaintiff bad another copy of his play. Mr. Justice Williams said that if the jury thought the plaintiff's account of the affair was the correct one, the action would in his opinion lie ; but if they thought that the plaintiff had simply left his MS. at the defendant's house, and that it bad never come to the defendant's hands until after this action was brought, there was no ground of action. Whichever way their verdict was, however, they bad better state what was the amount of the damages in the event of the plaintiff being subsequently held entitled to recover. Tl;lury found for the plaintiff—damages, one farthing. Mr. Justioe Williams said he should certify to deprive the plaintiff of his casts, or he would reserve the defendant leave to move to enter a verdict for him, upon the ground that there was no evidence for the jury in favour of the plaintiff. The latter course was, after a short discuseion, adopted. Mr. M•Mahon asked what they had better do with the manuscript! Mr. Justice Williams thought that the best thing they could do with it was to put it behind the fire. (A laugh.) CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before the Common Serjeant) Herbert Dawson Slade, 31, a well-dressed man, wearing a profusion of beard and mourtache, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with forging a bill of exchange for 3,000 rus, with intent to defraud. Mr. Sleig h said he was instructed by the friends of the prisoner to watch the case on his behalf, and to see whether there was any legal answer to the charge that wu made against him, and as, after a careful examination of the sel dom., he was compelled to acme to the conclusion that no such answer could be given, the prisoner had with Isis con currence pleaded guilty to the charge. He could only urge in extenuation that he was very young, and that he was respectably connected, hut, ha nog fallen into bad company, he bad been tempted to commit this offence. Mr. Seeley, who appeared for the prosecution on behalf of the Bank of Hindustan, said he thought it right to put the court is pouewion of some facts in connexion with the career d the prisoner , which would enable it tom COO to • right conclu sion as to the amount of punishment that ouet to be inflicted upon him. It had been ascertained that his real name was Underwooi, but he had origioally assumed the same of Herbert, and in the beginning of the present year he represented himself to be Captain Herbert, of the Indian army, and in that capacity be made a false claim upon the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company for which he pretended to have last in the Nemesis, gie produced some forged letters in support of his claim. After this, he went to Paris, where he still passed as Captain Herbert, and having an his puree elan a forged furlough in that name. It ap mred that he bad been in India, and the primmer probably, by this nouns become acquainted with the fact that Major Dawson Slade, a brother of Sir F. Slade, was attached to the Indian army, and in the beginning of April it appeared that he mourned the name of this gentleman and endeavoured to obtain money from the of Hindustan by the false repreesetatioe that Sir F. Slade was his brother, and he handed to the bank • forged bill of exchange purporting to be accepted by Major Slade. The fraud, how ever, was discovered, and the prisoner had now pleaded guilty to the offence. The Common Serjeant said he would read the deposition. and °outsider what sentence ought to be pronounced. THIRD COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) Elizabeth Tann, 17, spinster, pleaded guilty to an indict ment charging her with stealing sundry articles of jewellery, to the value of 1,0004, the property of Slim Fanny Josephs, her mistress. — Mr. Orridge, who appeared for the prosecution, gave a brief statement of the cue, from which it appeared that the prisoner had held the situation of servant to Miss Fanny Josephs, the well-known actress, until she absconded with the property in question. Information of the robbery having been given to the police, the prisoner was traced to a coffee house in Bhoreditch, where she had slept with a man named Timothy, who, it appeared, hid afterwards left her, accom panied by • man named Horrigan, taking with them all the plunder with the exception of a pair of earrings of smell value, which had been recovered. None of the other pro- perty bad since been traced. The prisoner. when before the ram=to, had made a statement to the effect that the wan committed at the instigation of the man Ti mothy, with whom she had kept company for the space of 18 months, and that he had, with Horrigan, deprived her of the whole of it on the next morning. In reply to the learned comoduioner ea to why the men Timothy and Horrigan were not in custody, Iminector Upton said that, acting up on th e prisoner's se count given at the polioe-court, be had succeeded in spine. heeding Horrigan, who was discharged by Mr. Combo, the magistrate, ma the ground that the evidence was insufficient for • committal. The nun Timothy had, he believed, escaped to the north of England. . . The Commissio;er said that the existence of meltieg- Pjeweh where jewelle could be disposed of, and at once do. ller of all possibility of identification. should be done away with or placed under the superviaion of the police, in order that they might know where to look when s uch rob beries co:erred. Inspector Upton wee then ailed upon the bench, whim the commissioner read to him privately a portion of a state ment made by the prisoner when at the police-court, and directed him to go at once and bring the nun Horrigan before Lim. The esotesee upon the prisoner was in the meantime deferred. Overcoats for the races are kept on hand for sale .t Mews. itaaentaa sad Ktoptotia, 106.

MANSION-Hoirsa A foreigner of rerneetaide — — Thice, — who gave his name as Baron Adrian Robert, led himself as a clerk, residing at the Hotel de Cologne, Haymarket, was brought before Sir Robert Carden (who was sitting for the Lord Meyor), in custody of Detective Officer Folios% charged under the follovring rather peculiar circumstances : James King, maier at the City Bank, dated that on the previous day, at about half-past sieves, the prisoner came to him and presented an order (which he produced) which ran as follows :—" Please to give bearer our pass-book," and purporting to be signed by Sari and Sons. Mews. Sari kept au amount there, and the book was given to the pri soner, and be left, taking it with him. Mr. Wilson, a clerk to Messrs. Sari, said the prisoner woe a total stranger to him. The order for the delivery of the pass-book was not in the handwriting of either of the members of the firm. The prisoner had no authority to obtain it, and he himself had not seen it since the previous Saturday, when be left it at the bank, from whence it was his duty to obtain it when wanted. Charles Titcbener, au assistant to Messrs. Savory, silver smiths, said the prisoner called at the shop on the previous afternoon, and selected a quantity of articles, as for pur chase, to the amount of 9e81., and selected them in such • reckless manner, without the heat examination, that he remarked upon it. The prisoner gave him • document, which he produced, which ran as follows : "Pa Maws. Savory (no amount mentioned). To the cashier of the National Sank of New York," and signed "Baron Adrian Robert." The witness remarked that he thought his manner exceedingly peculiar. After the prisoner had handed the paper, the officer came into the I shop from the hack, and the prisoner left with him, leaving behind a par-book and an account, which he bad had under his arm while standing at the counter. The Pans -book was Messrs. Sari's, and the one which the prisoner had ob tained from the City Bank a abort time previously ; it was afterwards handed to Mews. Sari. Detective-oftleer FunneU stated that be received a draft for 8001. drawn on the Bank of England from one of the gentlemen there, which had been presented by • clerk from Meesrs.Spielmennoind from information he received he wad to Mews. Savory, and saw the prisoner there, and told him he had sent a draft for 8001. to the Bank of England by Meson. S?ielmann . The draft was produoed, and had Mews. Sinelmann's name damped across it. He asked the pr isoner if be kept an account at the Bank, and he I said 'No." _ Sir 13. Carden asked if anything wee known of the pri soner, and a gentleman, whose name did not transpire, said the prisoner bad been in the employment of Messrs. Miroy, of New Earl-street, for nine years. About six months back be was sentenced to six mouths' imprronmeat for a petty larceny at the Exhibition, and had lately been released, since which time be had behaved in a most extra ordinary manner, ordering geode to a very large amount of different tradespeople, and he did sot think he was right in his mind. _ _ Fannon said that he searched the prisoner and found a quantity of ;date, spoons, and forks, some silver and some not, which appeared to have been taken from places where he bad dined. There were different marks apes them. Some marked "J. C. H." in old English, others "A. R. ;" some more marked " R. D.," and some with no marks. He had also ascertained that shoat thirty different tradespeople had called with property of different deacrip tions for the primmer ; but he bad always been absent during the time, and the landlady said they had better not leave them without the money, and they were taken away. He also found a cash-box in which was a number of locket* and rings, and some other articles of jewellery. The prisoner, who had been behaving in rather an eccen tric manner during the whole of the proceedings, and who said he had no explanation to give —he did it under mad ams and absence of mind—was then remanded. COLLISION ON THE LONDON AND SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY. Yesterday morning a very serious accident co caned between the Wilton and the Pintas stations, on the London and South Western Railway. It appears that pas sengers are taken every Tuesday morning by theduplgaz train from Yeovil in order to amble them to reach Salisbury market earlier than by the ordinary train. This train, consisting of an engtne, four termisre,_ami a number of l uggage waggons, arrived at the Pintos station shortly before nine o'clock, and was allowed to go on by the station master. A mixed train also left Salisbury some time after eight o'clock on Tues. day morning, and this was despatched by the station master of the Wilton station. There is a double line of rails between Salisbury and Wilton, but from Wilton to Linton it is still a single road, the additional line sot having ss yet been completed. The oonsequeoce was that the two trains came violently into collision near Burdeott. It is a very level piece of road about this spot, sad the respective drivers of the engines were thus en abled to see the mistake that had been made, and their imminent danger. The brakes were pat on, and everything dorm to prevent the accideot ; but the ra il s , from the wet, were very slippery, sad the brakes would not act effectually. The speed of each train was, however, very much dimi nished, but the engines ran into each Other. There were about 40 passengers in the carriages attached to the up-train, and they received a very severe shock, all being more or less injured. Yr. T. Wright (ol Shafte•bury) mowed Tar serious wounds on the arms and hands, and he wascr.liy bruised about the head and shoulders. Several from Shaftesbury, Tisbury, and Burford, were also injured about the arms sod legs, and one sustained a very severe blow on the mouth. The passengers were all thrown cam upon another, and the carriages were greatly damaged. On the nature of the accident being known a portion of the up-train ran back to Pluton, where information was given, and the officials telegraphed to Salisbury for assist ance. A special train was emit down, and (the injured pas sengers were placed therein. On their arrival at Salisbury they were immediately sent to the Infirmary, where they received every attention. The down luggage engine was thrown off the line by the collision, but a number of labourers were soon on the spot, and the line, after some difficulty, was cleared. Considerable blame is attached to some one, although at present it is unknown to whose neg ligence this accident is attributable. thie of the trains should have waited until the other had arrived at the sta tion, or the telegraph should have been brought into requi sition. If they had met at soy other part of the line the consequences would have been awful, and it is even new surprising that the camisogere w act mon seriously injured. THE WASTE LANDS OF INDIA. Mr. K the of waste binds in India by settlers, and the redemption al a portion of the land tax in India, are desirable objects, ea with a view to the present state of the cotton In dustry in this country, and that it is expedient that her Majesty's government take further steps toatry them out. He argued against the land tax as a burden which tended to narrow the cultivation of the counUy, and objected strongly to the policy adopted by Sir Charlie Wood in re verting that of Lord Stanley and Lord Canning in reference to the land question in India. Mr. aIIOLLETT opposed, and Mr. Etaxrce supported the maim. Lord STANLEY said that two Troth's bad been die coned, the redemption of the land tax sad the sale of waste lands, both of great difficulty, but of pant import ance. He stated the plan proposed by himself in reference to the land tax, which was to allow those wbo might desire to do so to redeem the land for ever by the payment of 20 years' purchase down, the propped' to be applied to the revenue. As to waste lamb, the quantity was practically illimitable, and the only point was how beet to bring them into cultivation; but though a plan had been prolected by Lord Capping, which was modified by Sir C. Wood, mach delay had take' plans in bringing it into operation. if the lands were settled government was boned to protect the settler. As to the male of land by auction, be admitted it was a gimp's and perhaps an effective one, but it was open to many objections, amongst which was, that it pre vented settlers going in search of land for themselves. Colonel £3YHM: approved of the sale of neat, Leda, bat objected to the redemption of the load tax. The debate was continued by Yr. J. B. Stara and Mr. AMON. Sir C. WOOD defended the course he bad taken in re vidag regulations with regard to largely modif=s instructions previously laid down, and in denial the nutrition as it had been pearntad in the debate. As to the land tax, it wan the only tax which wee obnoxious to the natives of India ; and as it amounted to half the re venue, be objected to 'Rarities so large a sauce of income by reducing the tax. The motion was withdrawn. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. Mr. W. EWART obtained leave to bring in a bill for de cimalising our existing system of weights and measures, and for establishing an accordance between them and those of foreign countries.

COTTON GOODS—lditicturarrs. May 12.—There bag been a fair amount of business in yarns to-day, at about the prices current on Friday. In one or two exceptional oases • alight advance is reported. The demand has been pretty general for all markets, and the borne trade have also been operating to a fair extent at folly per lb. shove the prices of lent week. The prime which spinners have been asking have tended somewhat to check business. but the activity in the Liverpool cotton market with the firmness in ' the prices of the raw material has the effect of strength. ening the bands of both spinners and manufacturers. The only change in the cloth market.to-day has reference chiefly to the demand for India gouda. A private telegram from Calcutta dated 18th April reports that prices were lower, both for yarn and cloth, with a dull market ; 40's twist having fallen 4d. per lb. from the highest point. This intelligence has caused the India buyers in this market to hold back for the present, but with this exception we continue to have a good, steady demand, not merely for one or two markets, but generally, the home trade included. Prices continue to creep up. &Mem are not making any actual change in their quota tions, but practically the turn is upwards, sod they would not take the same prices es last week, owing to the advance in cotton. Messrs. John Ponder aod Co., in their bi monthly circular for India (via. Maned/es), say a fair amount of business has been done since the commencement of the present month, the buying being principdly far shipment. Within the Isle few days (they say) higher prices have been paid both for goods and yarns. They attribute the improved feeling chiefly to the favour. able mounts continued to be received from foreign markets. The reduction of the Bank rate to three per cent. has also bad a good effect. For China Marra Ponder and Co. report more inquiry and business than for a long time past, chiefly for the better qualities of sbirtinp, figured slortioge, brocades. and damask, prompted by the better accounts from that market. In Calcutta goods they confirm the reports we have recently given of a fair business in the lighter makes of ahirtings (at 3d. to 6d. per piece advance) and in isecioneta. As stated above, however, there is a check in the demand for this market to-day, owing to unfavourable advioeu WOOLLEN.—Luce, MAY 12—The markets this mora le; presented no new feature, beiag both of an exceedingly quiet character. A few job lots of light fabrics changed hands, but for regular goods the demand was merely nominal. The attendance of buyers was small. MANUFACTUREFL—BUDDIMILMILD, MAY 12.—very few buyers have been in the market to-day either treat London or the country, arid the same dulness has prevailed which has characte ri sed this market for several weeks back.

THE Loss or Tlit Axon-SLxmc.—Some mit appreheasion exists relative to the reasons which induced the captain of the screw-steamer Anglo-Saxoe to sail so close to Cape Race, it having been stated that his doing so " was for the purpose of communicating European news." But we believe the following facts will be found coned. She (the steamer) would of course have landed her news had she called off the cape, but her immediate (ninon was to receive instructions (which were to be telegraphed to the eape for her) as to whether the St. Lawman was aullicieldly free from ice to admit of bet goieg to Quebec, or whether it would be necenary for her to go to Portland instead. Her orders were to touch at the cape, for the above porpm., weather permitting, other. wise to call at Halifax, to which place the instructions were to be duplicated. It is to be presumed that the cur taro thought the circumstances favourable for making the cape, and that the fog must have come upon him suddenly, as it frequently does in those latitudes. At all events, eagerness foe early news in nowise caused this most binientr hie catastrophe. COURT or Sawans.—The Commisaioners of Sewers held their weekly meeting yesterday at Gallas/ 1 , Mr. Deputy de Jersey presiding.
