Wnxism L, instead of attempting to act with the representatives of the Prussian nation, obstinately isolates himself from them on every point, small or great, trivial or serious. In. stead of honestly carrying out the constitution be had sworn to support, he has openly violated, one after another, all its fundamental provisions. Instead of identifying himself with the interests of the nation and employing the powers of the Crown to secure its prosperity at home and increase its influence abroad, he has blindly sacrificed domestic peace and European respect to the insane and suicidal assertion of mere preroga tive. As the result of this infatuated policy, Prussia is rent with internal divisions, and sur rotuided with external dangers; weakened and distracted at home, and degraded abroad. It is idle to lay the blame of these calamities at the door of the weakest and most contemptible Ministry ever known even at Berlin. The Kilo could not only at any moment have dismissed his incapable advisers, but was constitutionally bound to do so, when the nation ; through its central organ, had unanimously pronounced against them and their policy. In place of adopting this simple, conciliatory, And patriotic course, the Bum has hastened to jus tify every attack by the Ministryon thef undamental rights of the Chamber, and to sesame the full responsibility of their Illegal and violent ode. When the Ministers attempted to govern without a Budget, the Kin° asserted their right to do so ; when they denied their constitutional responsibility, the KING eagerly assumed it ; and finally, when they refused to recognise the inde pendent authority of the Chamber, or to conform to its usages, the Kino not only justified their conduct but in a formal message °ensured the Par liament for not having tamely submitted to this unheard-of outrage. It was impossible for the conflict to have continued beyond this point, and the rupture between the Crown and the Representative Assembly, which had virtually existed for weeks past, is now formally complete. The committee appointed by the Chamber to draw up a reply to the royal message justifying the ministerial claim to complete exemption from all parliamentary control, concluded their labours on Thursday last. The address they had prepared was submitted to the Chamber on Friday morning, and after eight hours' debate THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 28, 1863. passed by a majority of 259 to 61. The address is in the main a firm but temperate indictment of the whole ministerial policy, the immediate points in dispute being dismissed at the outset. It recalls the address presented by the Chamber at the beginning of the year, asking , for a speedy return to constitutional usage, and points out that although several months have since elapsed, there has been no promise or prospect I of any such return, the Ministry having continued I to act in open violation of all constitutional princi ples. The disastrousresultaof thiscourse to Prussiain 1 her domestic and foreign relations are then urged on the Knec's attention :—" By the Ministers' " foreign policy, by their unconstitutional pro " ceedings at home, they have forfeited the confi " dance of nations and of Governments. They " themselves have been fain to declare in the " House of Deputies that Prussia is surrounded " by foes and threatened on all sides by warlike " complications. Prussia stands almost alone in " Germany, and even in Europe. The House of " Deputies has repeatedly uplifted its voice to " hold back your Mantery's Ministers from those " dangerous paths upon which their foreign policy " has entered. Its advice has been rejected. " Ministers have declared that they would, if " they deemed it necessary, wage war with or " without the consent of the representatives of " the country." Finally, the Chamber-declaresthat since its claim to constitutional treatment is syste matically disregarded by the Ministry, it must with draw its support from the Government. "It once " more fulfils its conscientious duty by declaring to " your Man:err, with the profoundest respect, that " the House of Deputies has no means left of coming "to an understanding with this Ministry, and that " it refuses its co-operation with the present policy "of the Government. Evety fresh transaction " does but confirm it in the persuasion that be " tween the counsellors of the Crown and the " country there exists a chasm which cannot be " filled up otherwise than by a change of "persona, and still more by a change of system." The Kato in his reply says the Address of the Chamber has destroyed all hope of community of action, and concludes by declaring, with fatal con sistency of infatuation, that the Ministers possess his confidence, and their actions have his orient. Count Etruneszac, who read this reply to the Chamber in the morning, stated that the Parlia mentary Session would be dosed in the afternoon. At two o'clock, accordingly, M. Vox BISMARCK formally dismissed the Chamber, in a speech from the Throne, closing with the intimation that "the Government re : " serves to itself the power of determining the " manner in which the unsettled financial meta , " sures shall be brought to a conclusion, and hopes " to come to a future understanding with the re " presentative' of the country." Any under • standing between the Assembly and the present Ministry is clearly hopeless, and a reconci liation between the nation and the Crqiin can hardly be brought about by anything shag of a revolution. We may hope, however, in the inte rest both of Prussia and of Europe, that the revo lution will be a pacific one. Cbt Court. B ALMORILL, MAT 26.

THE NAVAL HOSPITAL ♦T MALTA.—Our Malta correspondent writing on May 22 says :—" The QUelli has sent a portrait of Prince Alfred to Dr. Armstrong, the deputy inspector of the Naval Hospital at Malta, with di. rectioos that it is to be perpetually hung in the ward in which his royal highness war so long confined with a com plaint very similar to that which proved fatal to his father. It war fortunate that there was such an establishment ready to receive the Prince. It is probably unsurpuned by any hospital in the world, and it is the admiration of all who visit it. The sailor who enters feels that everything which human skill can do will be done for him, and this conviction goes far towards effecting a cure." The Prince and Princess of Wales visited the South Ktonagton Museum yesterday, for the purpose of I inspecting the prise drawings of the ninety local schools of art in the United Kingdom, submitted in national oompe ' titioo.

LATEST ENTICLLIGENG'R FRANCE AND AUSTRIA ON THE POLISH QUESTION._ A letter from Vienna of the 23rd of May to the Boersenhalle of Hamburg says : The cabinet of Vienna finds Reel( again on the eve of great triala, and it will be a gigantic work for the men who are at the bead of Austrian affairs to extricate themselves hap pily. We learn from a very good source that for some days past there have been serious double of the pacific solution of the Polish question. France and England have, it is affirmed, been actively employed recently in endeavouring to induce Austria to adopt the programme which those two powers are going to forward to St. Petersburg. Not only were the overtures made on this subject very pressing, but they were also accompanied with confidential communications on the part of France alone which have by their gravity produced a very profound impression here. If we are not deceived, the cabinet of the Tuileries has signified that eventually—that is to s►y in case the solution proposed should meet with too many ob. stscles on the part of Russia, and Austria should by ita policy deserve well of the western powers and of Poland—France might prepare to place the Polish nationality under the sceptre of the Emperor of Austri► But it appears to have been intimated at the Isms time that if Austria does not accept this idea France would be obliged to return to that of the reconstitution of an independent Grand Duchy of Warsaw, her original programme, which she abandoned only to please Austria. There is reason to believe that neither of these overtures has been received here with satisfaction. SWEDEN. A letter from Stockholm, of the 21st inst., states that at a moment when Swedish ships of war are about to unite with French frigates at Cherbourg, while Russia is sending troops into Finland, and while appearances are more iu favour of war than of peace, the King of Sweden has commanded the formation of a committee to prepare a Scandina vian Exhibition at Stockholm. Prince Oscar, Duke of Ostgothland, is president of the committee. The uncertainty of the maintenance of peace, however, does not permit the King to neglect the preparations for war, and a proposal for in creasing the army has been submitted to the Reicharath by order of the government. The war committee is to be charged with the administration of the army. The Reicharath sanctioned at its last sitting the construction of several railway lines, but the means recommended have not been ap proved by the three orders—the nobility, clergy, and citizens—and the committee has been requested to present other propositions. The cause of the in surgent Poles is exciting the warmest sympathy among the population throughout Sweden. A con cert was lately given in Stockholm in aid of the wounded Poles, to which the Queen Dowager, the Duke of Ostgothland, and the Princess Eugenie contributed largely. (uunies ramaiLuts.)

The state of the colonial finance wee the principal topic of the Governor's speech on the 00011/106 He proposed additional revenue to the extent of 150,0001. pia annum, to be raised by means of stamp end aseesseion duties, in creased treader and suction dues and land tax. The policy of annexation and the union of the colonies in South Africa was still strongly urged by the government, but any measures on the subject would be postponed for another year. The Governor announced that the Port Elisabeth sod Grahamstown Railway, and the Mallesbury Branch and the Worcester extension of the Cape Town railway bills would be re-introduced with additional clauses for the preparation of surveys, plane, and estimates, by the government surveyors, and to authorise contracts for the construction of the lines oo account of the government. His Excellency also recommended that before the adoption of the new arrangements for the Western lines endeavours should be made to effect a transfer of the Cape Town line as soon as oompleted, with a view of its being worked for the benefit of the colony. He determined to recommend the extension of the gaa• mates of the colonial revenues to the works undertaken by the Irrigation and Investment Company, but be promised to introduce a bill to empower the government to grant *Aldan= to landowners wishing to improve their farms by irrigation ; the sums to be thus advanced would be raised by colonial debentures. Abundant rain hod fallen during the month, and agricuL turd prospects were good. Trade was improving. Bishop Tozer and party were to embark for Zambesi on the 20th April in the Orestes, which would convey to Dr. Livinptone the intelligence of the recall of his expedi tion.

The inscription on the frames se well as on the pedestal of the statue is—" To her Royal Highness PHAN'S/ Alexandra of Denmark, from Hee and Women of Copes. hops. March 10, 1863." The gift, which will be pre. seated to her Royal Highness the Priam, of Wales by the Danish minister is London, H. de Mlle, as soon as the ob. jests of art h►re arrived there, will be accompanied by a letter from the downs, expressing their sympathy and affection. A letter from Wiesbaden states that the Cham ber of Deputies has passed, by a majority of 14 to 8, the bill authoeides civil marriages between parsons belonging to siay religious communion not reoognieed by the State, after adopting aa amendment exteoding the benefits of the bill to all caste in which the established clergy may refuse to cele brate marriage. 'REM PROM PARIS. (nor OUI owl PARIS, WEDNISDAY Emma. In spite of the smooth professions of the higher authorities in Paris which are meant for European reading, there is no doubt that the most shameless abuses of authority are going on at this moment in the provinces against the free exercise of universal suffrage. In the nature of things, but few instances can be made known in Paris for some time to come. Many country districts, in which the votes of ignorant peasant' will count at the poll, have no local newspaper, and no correspondents of Paris journals. Some flagrant examples, however—a great many more than I have time to quote—have already come to light. I mention a few merely by way of specimen. M. Floquet, the barrister, who is a candidate at Beziers, writes as follows to the sub-prefect : The Temps newspaper, which I had mad legally and regu larly caused to be addreded to certain private individuals and public establishments in this department, hie been seised in the cafés. If that is an unauthorised step on the part of your agents, I pray you to rebuke them. If they acted by your orders, I beg you to show that those orders were hid But I have a right to demand an explanation, and to know whether in this department the government and its friends have • monopoly of the right to adde' the public through the pries. I have also to call your attention to • fact still more grave. Since my arrival here I find that my hotel has been constantly watched by spies. I cannot budge • step without being dogged by police agents, and the name of every man who per me • visit is noted down in the police books. I would not believe in the possibility of such an inquisition when I was first told of it, but I have been compelled to yield to evidence. Yesterday whee, accompanied by • friend, I went to all upon one of the most respectable inhabitants of this place, I could not help seeing that I was followed. I now pretest against this insult to my dignity as a citizen and my independence as a candidate. It is new to me that when I fulfilled the formalities which give me a legal right to become a candi date, I thereby placed myself under the surveillance of the police. I know not whether it is intended to intimidate ' or provoke me, but I beg you, M. le Sous•Prefet„ to be well assured that I will give way neither to fear nor anger ; I will not quit the arena of legality, however limited that arena may be ; bat within its limits you may be very car , tain that I will never badge an inch. CsAaLm Ptownr. The Courrier de st. Etienne (Loire) is to be prosecuted for an article complaining of the difficulty of procuring electoral cards by those who are suspected of an intention to vote for inde pendent candidates. The journal says it will go into court escorted by a thousand electors who have been defrauded by the administration of their rights of suffrage. The Side mentions several instances in the department of the Manche of the electoral addresses of opposition candidates being torn down by order of the mayors, a proceeding quite contrary to law. The Marquis de Pierre, who was a government candidate in isn, but having shown too much independence is reduced to be an opposition candi date in 1863, quaintly tells his late constituents to remember that when the garde ehampetre (the lowest functionary in the official hierarchy) puts the bul letins of his opponent into their hands they are not obliged to use them, and that " the duty of the garde champetre is to run after malefactors and not after the electors." An important and quite original observation upon the elections is made by the Temps, namely, that of the nine government candidates for the nine circumscriptions of Paris, no less than five are members of the (so called) municipal council, nomi nated by the Emperor, and which has the right to tax citizens and spend their money, without the citizens themselves having any voice in the matter. The names of these five men are MM. Devinck, Varin, Fouch4-Lepelletier, Ko3nigswarter, and Picard. The last mentioned Picard, a man of no note whatever, must not be confounded with his namesake, an eminent member of the " five." The special point upon which the Temps insists is that if the Parisians elect theme men as deputies, they will afford the government an excuse for saying that the citizens of Paris do not wish to elect their own munici pality, and that they are content to see the ex penses of the city and the rate of house rent con tinually increasing, while the rate-payers and in habitants have no voice in the matter. There being no confirmation of the news which made a panic at the Bourse yesterday, the Rents has been a little firmer. The rise is, however, only 5c., and the amount of business done was limited. hiobilier fell lfr. 25c. The greatest race which ever occurred in France, viz., the grand and long talked-of City of Paris Prize of 100,0001 r., is to come off on Sunday next at the Longchamps course. A great many of the Derby horses, among whom are Lord Clifden, Hos podar, Seacharometer, and Early Purl, have ar rived in Paris. The general French opinion is that La Toucques, the extraordinary filly who won the French Derby at Chantilly, will beat them all. It is estimated that, with the entries, the winner of this stake will gain 160,000 fr. (6,000/.) It is a coincidence rather unfortunate, but probably not anticipated, that this great race and the steeple chase at Vincennes on the following day are fixed for the two days when Paris will be occupied with the general elections. Mr. Mason, the Confederate envoy resident in London, has arrived in Paris with a mission, as it is reported, to the Emperor's government. The Duchess de Morny gave birth to a daughter yesterday ; she is going on well. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) TQIIIIEDAY, lAT t& • LX. I 11. 0 JLID. W. H. 1.11.1 I. LI lt.

On the application of Mr. Serjeant Shea, the rule for showing cause against the plaintiff Sling a criminal informa tion in this case was enlarged to Tuesday, the 9th June, when it will be fully argued. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Sittings in Bance.—((Before Lord Chief Jusilo - a Lis and Justine@ Williams, Willa., and Byles.) ALLEGED MISCONDUCT OF AN ATTORNEY. Mr. Garth applied (or a role calling upon an attorney of this court to show muse why he should not answer the matters in the affidavit, and added that there wee another application pending against the same attorney, and' in reference to which the master would make his report in a few days. The affidavit which he now moved upon dated that upon various occasions since 1853 Mr. Bpraggett, a farmer in the county of Warwick, had banded the attorney sums of money, nuking in all about 4,5001., for investment. The attorney invested 2,5001. mortgage of an estate, said to belong to a upon Wilson, but it afterwards turned out that instead of belonging to Mr. Wilson, it had been purchased by the attorney himself. and he had previous to the advance of the 2,5001. mortgaged it for 1,8001. In the course of proceedings in Chancery it tweed out that Mr. Spraggett's security was worth nothing. On complaint being made to the attorney he said that he had a veritable hood for 5,0001. given by Mr. Meiklem, upon some Scotch property, and he would give Mr. Spragptt that bond in exchange for all his securities. Mr. Swiggett went down to Scotland where the attorney showed him a fine estate which wu said to belong to Mr. Meiklsm, and Mr. Spraggett was induced to eh his securitiesfor the bond. It now turned out that Mr. - lam was insolvent in 1859, and had since become bankrupt and it had been decided in the Scotch courts that Mr. Meiklam's interest in the property amounted only to 3001. a year. Having this interest only, he had given bonds upon it to the extent of 106,0001., and they had all been regis tered. These were all dated prior to the giving of the 5,0001. bond, which had not been registered. Bute granted. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) The new cause lists have just been published. In the Divorce Court there are 114 ceses—en increase of 25 over the number which were set down for trial at the commencement of Easter term. The present list may, however, be reduced by 10 traits, which stand over, or are part heard, or are stayed by order. Of the 104 that remain, 5 are petitions for restitution of conjugal rights, 1 for nullity of marriage, 1 for a declaration of legitimacy, 14 for judicial separation, and the rant for dissolution. There are 13 common, and 18 special jury cues, and the rest are to be tried before the court sitting alone. There are 2 pauper cues, and 1 appeal. The probate brininess is not heavy. OWIN V. WILLIAMS. This part-heard cue, which commenced on Saturday, re lated to the will of Hugh Owen, late of Dolgelly, in North Wales, who died a short time ago, leaving property worth about 2001. or 3001. In support of the iimfammant,Elias Wil liams (who took a third of the proceeds after the death of the deceased's widow) MOM that it had been proper) axe =died. The two attesting witnesses, however, declared that it had not ; but one of them had made an affidavit on which probate had been taken out in comma form. (The case was not completed when we went to Kees.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Wan Mr. Cositaissiouer Fano.) IN 111 •DANIL—ILIVIVAL OT • 111:711:118ZOID 311211UPTCT.—IXTE•0RDIII•RT WC. The bankrupt was formerly a banker, of Ware and of Hertford. The bankruptcy occurred in 1866, the liabilities being very considerable. The certificate was refused by the commissioner, but the bankruptcy was subsequently annulled on payment by the bankrupt of 5001. At a recent sitting ail n i w oar n was made by Mr. Lawrence, on behalf of the that the supersedes' might be eat aside on the grou that it had been obtained by head. The application was opposed, on behalf of the bankrupt, by Mr. Sargood, who took objection to the court's jurisdiction. His Honour pow gave judgment He said—Mr. rimy and Mr. Lawrence, describing themselves as assignees under the bankruptcy of Samuel Adams, have petitioned this court, dating that Adams was adj ud ged bankrupt in July, 1856 ; that, in April, 1857, he passed his last examination, in which he dated that he had disclosed the whole of his estate sad effects; that, in May, 1858, Adams applied for his certificate, which the commis sioner absolutely refused to grant, on the ground that be had fraudulently attempted to aooount for 3,5001. by saying th at he had lent it to one Johustone, which he bad not done. The fraud was discovered, and the result was that the commissioner refused to grant any certificate to the bankrupt Adams, from which judgment the beak rupt Dever appealed. Having remained without his certi ficate for a considerable length of time, he applied to Mr. Elsey and Mr. Lawrence to consent to his baukrnptc7 being anaulled on pa tto them of 5001. for distribution amongst his lora The petitioners believing, as they state, that the bankrupt had at WA given up all his pro perty to his meioses for distribution, abstained from fur ther opposing the granting of the usual certificate ; and the result was that, all opposition ceasing on the payment by the bankrupt of the sum of 5601. for distribution among his creditors, and the assigner consenting, an order was made that the adjudication in bankruptcy should be annulled. The petitioners now say that they have recently discovered that the bankrupt has not made a full disclosure of his estate and effects. but on the contrary bas withheld considerable sums of money due to him before his bankruptcy ; and they submit that the annulling of the bankruptcy was obtained by fraud and concealment, and that the order of the 4th May, 1860, ought to be dis charged, so as to restore the petitioners to their original rights, and enable them to perform their duties. I am of opinion that the annulling of the ban having been obtained by fraud and concealmentw k e rPt a u nS and void, and that the assignees are reinstated in all their original rights, and may avail themselves of all rights and powers incident to their position as assignees. Mr. G. Smith, who appeared for the bankrupt, asked that farther proceedings. should be stayed until Mr. Adams had bad the opportunity of taking the opinion of the court awed. The objection was that the court had no juris diction. The ____Maioner—l rainier that the superseding was a mass of fraud and coocealonot Mr. Smith—Tkere is no evidence of that. The Commissioner—My opinion is that there is ample evidence. It is no use discussing the matter, because I have given my decision. Mr. Smith—l don't want to interfere with your Honour's decision. The Commissioner—l have given my judgment, and if anybody chooses to appeal let them set about it. (A laugh.) Mr. Lawrence--As 1 understand, the practical effect of your Honour's order is this, that we may go on with the inquiry which we propose to institute. The Commissioner—The result is that the bankruptcy la is no way interfered with. Mr. Lawrence asked the court to name a day when the caw might be proceeded with. The Commissioner—l will name as early a day as you please. Mr. Smith—l mart auk your Honour to abstain from doing au until we lave had an opportunity of taking the opinion of the Lord Chancellor. Mr. Adams has been in business three years. and has acquired new estate, and the question is a most important one to him. The Commissiooer—My answer to all this is—there is my decision, and there is a court above which will set me right if I am wrong. Mr. Smith—Exactly so. All I ask of your Honour is to give us the opportunity of going before that oourt. The Commissioner— I won't hear anything more on the subject. I have given my decision, and if you are diesatim fied with that decision you can appeal. Igo on the assump tion that the 'opened's' being obtained by fraud is good for nothiog; fraud ritual.' everything. The B th of June was then fixed for proceeding with the in Te 7 r. Sargood . afterwards appeared, and referring to his Honour's deciaion, asked him to make an order in such • form as they could appeal against, and his Hon our pro mised to do so. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) BOWAITILF.ET. seiminn CONDUCT 124 Tilt PARC. Edouard Los;, ; - intochroui 2,7ritter at Giroodin's Coffeehouse, in the Haymarket, was brought before Mr. Henry, charged with iadeeently exposing himself to two little girls is Bt. Jansea's.park. As be spoke Engliab very imperfectly, Mr. A. Botulism was engaged to interpret. The prieooer was defended by Mr. Abrams, of Bow-street. The two children, who are about 11 years of age, deeerlbed with much reluctance certain dieguetiog 000 duct, which it would be impossible to particularise in these coinnum. While committing the offence the prisoner endeavoured to , 1 Waco them to come to him by off °nog them money. Mr. Abrams said it was duty to lay before the magistrate • statement which the prisoner had rude to him in Frenob, bib* effect that he had not intentionally eels ibited himself to the children, but that they, against his will, had approached and surrounded him. He bad, iu fact, retired to a @pot where he thought himself sheltered from observation, but they came upon hint unexpectedly. Mr. Hairy said this was ccmpletely answered by the circumfuses that he offered the children money. After spin oo•sultiug his client, with whom he had a lug euiverastio• in Preach, Mr. Abeam, said the prisoner alleged that the asked him for mousy, sad he wee about to give it to them to get rid of them. Mr. Henry did not believe that Matetnent. He wu con visaed that the children were speaking the truth, and he bed so doubt that would be Use view a jury wookl take et it. . . ..Mr. Abrams said he felt himself bound to submit the prisoner's statement to the court. But he found that it was impassible to contend with the evideooe, sod he should therefore dries the prisoner to plead guilty, and he hoped that taking into account his previou s good character th e magistrate would consider that a summary conviction would be sufficient to meet the justice of the class. After hearing witnesses to character, Mr. Henry said he should not have consented to impose a ' penalty of three months' imprisonment with hard labour, which was the utmost he had power to inflict, but which was, in his opinion, wholly inadequate, but that he felt it was a painful thing to expose these very young children to be examined over agil e upon these diegustiog facie in • full and open court. It wee distressing enough to be obliged to cell upon them to give such evidence even once, sod before the cam. paratively small number of persons now present. (The open bad been cleared at the commencement of the pro ! ceediap,) The prisoner here made • statement in French, repeating all that had been said by Mr. Abrams. Mr. Henry— If you say that you are not guilty you have • right to go before a jury. 'rho prisoner said he was guilty. He ',lobed to . leave the matter in the magistrate's hands, and he would never commit himself again. Yr. Henry—Then I shall commit you for three months with hard labour, and I hope I am not violating my duty in taking so lenient • course. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ISTRIIIMATIC ROBBING OF CHILDREN. Mary An; Wifliawe, ayouniwomaX7 wa s charged before Mr. Knox with robbing a little boy named James Johnson of • par of boots of the value of 5e., and also another little boy named Thomas William Osborne of a pair of boots of the value of 4s. . . . The prisoner was apprehended yesterday on leaving prison, having been committed for three month' by the megistrate at the Marytaboos Pollee-court for a similar offence, and although only two charges were now preferred against her, it wee stated that there would be several others. It should be stated that the robberies took place before she was committed from the Marylebotas Police-court, and the parents of the children robbed not know ing she was in custody were unable till the present time to prefer their charges against her. It appeared that the prisoner was in the habit of meeting children and sending them for errands, and then taking off their shoes tinder the pretence that when she came back they should have new one*. Only one case was taken this morning, Sergeant Dods. worth, 24 C, stating that he should be PrePluisd, if a re mand were granted, with many cases against her. Prisoner said she was guilty in two eases. Mr. Knox remanded her for a week. • SCLINE 111 000 KT. . . AWL masculine woman, named Cat/urine White, was cb with being drunk, &c.c. i Ze the °mutable was giving his evidence the prisoner frequently interrupted him, making use of the most eke. minable language ; and on the magistrate sentencing her to seven days ' imprisonment with hard labour, she asked him derisively whether he "could not make it a month." She then became very violent, and made a desperate effort to clutch at something, but only succeeded in getting hold of a very harmless article--a sheet of blotting paper. Having torn it to pieces she refused to leave the dock, and flung herself down with violence. Barnes, the gaoler, however, succeeded indrsg. ging her from it and got her to the cells, she all the while conducting herself in an outrageous manner and giving vent to fearful language. She was charged at this court on a former occasion and her conduct was then very similar. SOUTHWARK. CHAROI 07 zrasEriamourr NY • TILLVKLLCIL Mr. Robert Atherton, of Atherton-*mace, Islingten, was ennuncieed to answer sevegal ch►rgga of embezzling MMHG belonging to his employers, Messrs. William Codner, Hen. ley, and Son, cider and vinegar merchants, Broadway-street, St. Thomas's. Mr. Chipperfiekl, who appeared for the prosecution, said that his diced were well-known cider and vinegar merchants, and carried on • very extensive badness. Some time ago the defendant was introduced to the firm, and employed by them as a traveller in the metro paten district. His duty was to collect orders and money from the customer., and printed forms and a printed receipt book were furnished him in the way of business. It I Ins a part of his duty to pay all money he received from 'the customers at the counting-house as soon as he received it. A short time ago he absented himself from the counting home, when the prosecutors discovered that he had received medal sums of money from various customers which he had not accounted for. On the Mad of August last he received 21. Bs. from Mr. Mille, a customer, and on the lame day 11. les. from Mr. Price ; on the 20th of September be received 1/. Us. 9d. from Mr. Smith, and only accounted for 165., and on the gams day he received 21. 2s. from Mr. Guard, which he neglected to as count for. The defendant, who said that he bad been M, said he bad received those sums, sad had not been able to see Mr. Hen ley. He wee willing to pay all sums he might have received. Mr. Henley informed his worship that since the defend ant had remised those sums mentioned by Mr. Ohipperfield he had several times been at the countinghouse and seen him, bat he said nothing of those accounts. There were other monies he had since received, but at present be had not bad time to get the witnesses together, as the defendant had given receipts otherwise than on the printed forms. The magistrate asked what he supposed the defalcations were? _ . Mc Henley replied about DX The detmdant said he should be able to settle all in a satisfactory =MOM it allowed. The magistrate told him he could not be a party to aay compromise ; and at the request of the prosecutor the we was adjourned until Wednesday next. IRISH WHISKY. Among the articles for the production of which Ireland is celebrated, Kinahan's LL"' whisky has long held a foremost plain. The method of its preparation is only known to the heads of the firm, and is as jealously guarded by them as soy State secret ever was. His to be obtained in Dublin in no boom but their own, and each bottle or jar containing it bears a label with the well known letters prominently displayed, which are also branded no the corks. Mr. Wm. Bolton, • grocer in Westmoreland-sbeet, Dublin, and formerly an apprentice of the Messrs. Kinahan, has been in the habit of selling • spirit which he distinguishes by the name of " Bolton's LL," and as the Messrs. Kinahati considered the use of those letters an infraction of their rights they applied for an injunction to restrain Mr. Bolton from further displaying them on his labels. The case was heard before the Master of the Rolls on Tuesday, and the matter in dn pute was thought of sufficient importance to the talents of Serjeant Sullivan, Mr. Brewster, and the Solicitor-General. Serjesot Sullivan, who appeared for the petitioners, gave an intereatiegfhistory of the origin of the title, as follows : " Upwards of forty years ago the then Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, the Duke of Richmond, sent to various establish' meats in Dublin for samples of whisky, and among others to the establishment of the petitioners. He was so well phew.' with their whisky that he, while Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, purchased large quantities of the said whisky for his own use and the use of his household, and he gave directions that • vat should be set apart in the establish' meet of the firm of Kinahan and Sons for him, with the letters' LL' and • ducal coronet painted thereon. From that time the firm gave to the whisky so prepared the name of ' LL' whisky, the letters being the initials for ' Lord-Lieutenant.' They did so because of the approval then given to it by his excellency, and they had ever since used the letters • LL' to distinguish the whisky iso prepared by them. All the corks had, besides these letters, a ducal coronet impreened thereon. In order to secure a sufficient supply of whisky, the firm had set apart two vats in their stores for the preparation of this ' LL' whisky." Serieent Sullivan contended that the use of the distinctive trade mark of Messrs. Rinehart, though without their name, oc any attempt to imitate their labels, was • violation of their mereentile right., which should be stopped by ilium' On behalf of the respondent, the Solicitor-General un tended that as Mr. Boltoe had used these marks for IO years the court, could not now interfere with him. From 10.53 down to 1862 be had advertised LL whisky 100 times, sod whisky of LL flavour 259 times. He had those letters placarded in his shop windows, and they were on • stained glass lamp in frost of his shop, which must have been seen by the members of the petitioners' firm. If they felt them. Galva aggrieved they should have complained long ago But he denied the letters were any trade mark, or capable el being appropriated by anyone. Besides the respondent swore that be never motet to lead anyone to believe that the whisky sold by him was Kisahan a, and his advertise manta and labels prevented all possibility of mistake on the subject. He had likewise& trade mark of his own. The Master of the Rolls said he had not the slighted doubt that, under the circumstances of the case, the letters "LL " were as much • tends mark as any ever used. if they had been recently need for the first time, he would at once grant an injunction against the respondent. If the letters "LL" were a trade mark, there was no doubt that it ! this instance there bad been a piracy of them. If there tad not been any delay be could oot refuse an injunction with out overruling case after case on the subject. The mono° should stand over until the hearing of the cause, and he is timated his wish that the respondent should discontinue the WO of the letters in the meantime. THE ALILLLNDILL —We understand that iu cou sequence of a peering application from Messrs. Fletcher and Hull, sol citors for the defendants in this one, for • oopy of the informations filed the Alemodra, they bare been furnished with • very voluminous document comprising 98 counts, which an mere reoapitulatiooe of tin seventh clause of the Eoliatment Act.
