Beaufort-house and grounds are well known as the headquarters of the South Middlesex Mike ; and the history of the negotiations which ended in their being placed at the disposal of the committee by Lord Ranelagh has been already published. Creature comforts were p lentifully provided, and of the accommodation at and every advantage was taken. There were seven platforms erected in different parts of the ground, from each of which speeches were made, but the greatest crowd was assembled round one called the first platform, which was placed at the top of the ground, near the butts, the . programme stating that at that platform the chair would be taken by Mr. George Potter, and that Mr. Beales would be one of the speakers who would address the people therefrom. Before the close of the proceedings some sic or seven thousand persons were congregated about that spot. Amongst those on the platform were Mr. Beales, chair man of the Reform League ; Mr. Dresser Rogers, Mr. G. Howell, Mr. George Ogden, Mr. J. B. Leno, Mr. C. Bartlett, Mr. Alderman Cartier, of Leeds ; Mr. Greening, of Manchester ; Mr. Bate son, of Birmingham ; and Mr. Holyoake. In front of the platform a seat had been placed for the re porters, with a rail in front to keep a the crowd, but of so unsubstantial a character that it wasbroken by the pressure of the crowd some time previous to the speaking commencing; before this occurred, however, the reporters foreseeing the danger, had mounted the platform, which was crowded to exceds, and where they had to take their notes as best they could. At twenty-minutes past three, Mr. George Potter, the appointed chairman, had not made his appearance, and the crowd having become impatient, Mr. BEALES came forward, and said he was unwilling to interfere with the order of preosedings as arranged, but be was not surprised at their impatience. As regarded num ben he congratulated them en the demonstration. It was a demonstration worthy of the men of London. It WWI a groat national protest and remonstrance against the charge of indifference on the part of the working classes to the franchise. (Cheers.) He should not value this de monstration did he not regard it as a national movement in favour of manhood suffrage. Manhood suffrage protected by the ballot was the only franchise commensurate with the rights of the people—that national movement which commenced in July last in Trafalgar/square and Hyde perk, and which had ainoe been spreading throughout the length and breadth of England, Scotland and Ireland, and bad been followed up with such enthusiasm. He congratu lated them upon this worthy continuance of the great national protest and movement,which no government could nafely or wisely resist or gainsay. (Hear, hear.) At all the meetings and demonstrations that he had been present at, many of them more multitudinous even than this, there had been but one feeling of satisfaction that the men of London were now in their right place—(cheers) — in the place where they had never been before—in the front of the constitutional battle for the people's rights. He congratulated them upon this being a further advance in the great political campaign. He congratulated them also that the metropolitan police—a moat worthy and useful body when employed in the dis charge of their proper duties, but most dangerous and mis chievous when employed unconstitutionally—he congratu lated them that a body like the provincial police at the meetings which he had attended had been worthily as sisting instead of obstructing the peaceful and orderly demonstration of to-day—a demonstration which by its great reelect for law and order, like all those to which be had referred, its total abstinence from everything in the shape of riot or disturbance, tumult or violence, was an honour to the men of London, and proved, further, their fitness for the franchise. (Cheers.) Bat here he stopped his congratulations. He did not and could not congratulate them upon the place of the meeting. (Cheers, and cries of " Hyde-park.") To him it was a powerful contrast with the other meetings and demonstrations he had attended in that respect, and it seemed to him little less than an in sult. (Cries of "So it is.") It was an insult to the inha bitants of the metropolis to be excluded from a park sup ported and maintained at the public expense—(cheers) — and driven to be dependent upon the favour of an individual for a place in which to as. aemble where they could discuss their wrongs and political rights. Hyde-park was a much more suitable and convenient place for them to meet in. It was more capacious, and if the meeting had been held there, it would have saved the greater part of them from having to walk several miles. The same class feeling which excluded them from the park it was that excluded them unjustly and unconstitutionally from the franchise. (Hear, hear.) Now then, with regard to the work before them, for he did not wish to speak long. Ho exhorted them to go on peace fully, orderly, and constitutionally in their agitation for their just rights until they obtained them, until the portals of the constitution were thrown open widely and freely to all who were entitled to enter in thereat. He exhorted them to go on, and not allow themselves to be tampered with, but to claim and accept of no. thing atczt Gi learivxml Indlirsge, rrhel mutt muon I and hold to that. That had been the declara tion of meeting after meeting, of demonstration after demonstration throughout the length and breadth of the land. There had been but one feeling, one claim, one demand. He stood there as the representative of millions of their fellow-countrymen claiming the franchise, and unless they bade him do it ho would never lower that flag. (Great cheering.) He exhorted them not to be turned oat of their way, but to go on orderly but firmly insisting upon their rights, and, when they had got them, to show by their exer‘ise of them, that as they were fully entitled to, so they were deserving of them. (Cheers.) Mr. Lta not 'r here stepped forward and requested those who were of opinion that the next meeting should be held in Hyde-park to hold up their hands. All hands were held up in answer to this invitation. Mr. GREENING, of Manchester, said that the men of Manchester had at length raised the flag of the total en franchisement of the manhood of England, and did not intend to lower it till it was crowned with victory. (Cheers.) Some time ago they would have been content with less, but they would not now be satisfied with bit by bit reform, which they compared to picking peas with a pin, which was a practice calculated to tire the mouth before it filled the stomach. (Cheers and laughter.) They held that the complete enfranchisement of the manhood of England would take place as soon as the people willed it ; and now they were beginning to be convinced that the men of England were as capable of governing themselves as those of America. (Hear, hear.) He did not say that all men were of equal intellect, but from the mass of the population they were sure to get a righteous verdict upon any question at issue. Colonel DICKSON followed, observing that this was a demonstration got up, not by the Reform League, bet by Mr. Potter arid the trades unions, but the Reform League were glad to come there and aid them. Before the meet ing, of parliament, he hoped the railways would bring up 100,000 men from the provinces to augment their numbers, and then they would meet in Park-lane, when he hoped Park-lane would be broader. When the citizens of France, of Switzerland, and of America were enfranchised, that the men of England were not enfranchised should make them blush. (Cheers.) Why at any moment the electric telegraph might bring them the news that even the negroes of America bad the franchise. (hear, hear.) But if they held together they must succeed. By the accounts in the newspapers that day, the government were already at sixes and sevens on the subject of reform, and Mr. Disraeli was about to leave them, and if he did, he supposed Mr. Disraeli might fairly be entitled to the appellation of the Wandering Jew. (Cheers and laugh ter.) Would any man after the proceedings of that day say that the working men, the great mass of the people, were not fit for the franchise These proceedings and this meeting gave the lie to the calumnies of Mr. Lowe. (Hisses and groans for Mr. Lowe). Mr. Cavendish Bentinck the other day said that Colonel Dickson and Mr. Beales had led the London pickpockets to pull down the railings at Hyde-park. That was what Mr. Cavendish Bentinek bad dared to say. (Shame and hisses.) He (Colonel Dickson) had written a reply to Mr. Bentinck, and asked him to publish it, but he had not done so. He (Colonel Dickson) had also sent a copy of the letter to the Standard, but that paper had not published it. But Mr. Cavendish Bentinck was a sample of the majority of the present House of Commons. There were not a dozen men in the House of Commons, as at present constituted, who eared for the people or the people's rights. (Cheers.) There was Mr. Mill, Mr. Bright, Mr. Fawcett, Mr. Hughes, and a few others who represented tha people, but the great reajority represented class interests. He trusted , however, that in the ne s: parliament the peoide would be properly represented in the House of Commons, which they Were net now. The House of Commons now con sistedof a good many nomineesof the Housed Lords,a good many railway directors, a great many bankers and lawyers, and but very few who represented the working classes. (Hear.) Those who now sat in the House of Commons had got there for the most part by bribery and corrup tion ; but those days, he hoped, were now all but over, for when the people had the franchise and the ballot, bribery would be impracticable, for it was impossible to bribe everybody. (Cheers.) Was it consistent that Mr. Lowe, who represented some 15 or 20 people, he be lieved, should have the power, by his vote, to nullify that of Mr. Bright, who represented the thousands of the working-men of Birmingham. He believed there was a good time coming—all they had to do was to hold together. He invited them to stick to the Reform League, and those who did not belong to it he invited to come and join it, and insert their names in the books of that body. They bad done that which would convince the government that the working men of England could meet together in their millions, and show by their con duct that they were fit to be trusted with the franchise. He had not entered the cause without being thoroughly satisfied that it was righteous and just, and he was determined to stick to it till success crowned their efforts. (Cheers.) Mr. LEICESTER, glass-worker, said the question they were met to discuss was an old question; there was nothing new about it. It was 800 years old, and it dated back from the time when William the Norman came and plundered the nation, and divided the land among his followers. From that hour to this there bad been nothing but tyranny and oppression on the one side and suffering on the other. Every age had bad its martyrs, and they hail one present in Mr. Beater, who, because he advocated the rights of the people, had been dismissed from a situa tion which he had always honoured. The whole question was one of aristocratic domination and aristocratic impu dence. When the working men were asked whether they were fit to exercise the franchise, they might well retort by asking the aristocracy, " Are you fit to govern?" (Cheers.) Let them tell Lord Derby that when he had got their rights in his hands he bad got something like a red-hot poker ; he must let go his bold or burn his fingers. The question was, should those decrepid scoun drels who sat in the House of Lords withhold their rights any longer—whether those men who had misgoverned them for centuries, and had taken their bard cash, and spent millions of the people's money, should continue to rule over them. Freedom was spreading from land to land and from sea to sea. Already the news had come from Mexico that the Mexicans had driven an upstart king from his throne; Venice no longer mourned in sadness, for her oppressor bad been driven away ; Germany, with a Bismarck at its head, had rejoiced in the prospect of free dom ; and even the deeply injured negroca had stood be fore God and man,and saying " We are menand brothers," had obtained their freedom. And in this country, from one end of the land to the other, the fiat had gone forth that the people should be free, and they meant to be free. At this 'tags of the proceedings Mr. GEORGE POTTER GERM upon the platform, and was greeted with a round of cheers. He said he had been unable to get there before ; but the pro ceedings had commenced, and several speakers had already addressed them. That was where they were, bat many of their friends were yet in Pic,olilly ; they were moving up in masses, the ground was being com pletely filled, and he had great pleasure in stating that the ground would not hold the numbers that had to come. The working men of London had much to be proud of with regard to that day's proceedings. He did not think the government would want to trouble them much longer. If this was not enough for them, why then they should have something that was. (Cheers.) He knew that the government liked to give them a good deal of trouble ; they did not much mind a little trouble, but they must be impressed with this important conviction, that the working men of London were not going to lose a day's wages, and be at the expense of a demonstration like this, fur nothing. Lord Derby and the tory government must make up their minds to give them what they wanted, and that was a vote for every honest working man, whether he lived in a house or part of a house, because he contributed to the wealth of the nation, and helped to make the country what it was, great and influential. The working men of England, who looked forward to her continued prosperity and influence, bad taken the thing into their own hands. The people of this country had never yet taken a case in hand but they had succeeded in it, and although the reform question had been many years in hand, it was at the end now. This was the beginning of the end, and he could assure them that there was every prospect of a great/and comprehenaive bill being adopted, and that very speedily. He did not think that such a procession as that of that day had ever been witnessed before. Such a set of men, with their tickets on their heads, with their hearts firmly knitted and true, would give the opponents of reform an understanding and a meaning which they had never had yet. (Cheers.) lie rejoiced to think that the working men of London hail been able to respond to the call which was made upon them. They had left their work, sacrificed their •••• 1 runny of t 11 6 ." bed 1.70. 1, e4 1 5 r."ii thr .s lh Lunacy , the dirt to that place, to show their determination, and that in their opinion the time had come when they should be free. He would now put the first resolution, which had already been spoken to :—" That this meeting enters its solemn protest against, and its denial of, the charges of venality, ignorance, drunkenness, and indifference to reform, brought against the working classes during the last session of parliament ; and hereby declares that no reform bill falling short of the principles of registered resi dential manhood suffrage and the ballot will be satisfac tory to the people, or accepted as a final settlement of the reform question." The resolution was unanimously agreed to. Mr. lima - row, mason, moved the second resolution:— " That this meeting desires to acknowledge the services of the Right lion. W. E. Gladstone, 111 r. Johnßright,Mr. John Stuart Mill, and all those who have supported the people's claim, and vindicated their character in parliament ; and further expresses its confidence in Mr. John Bright as the champion of the national cause in the House of Com mons." He said he was glad to see the numbers of working men who were surrounding that platform to claim the r constitutional right. He had seen great masses in lals and 1833, but never such a mass as ho saw to day. lie hoped and trusted they would be firm in their demands. They built palaces for the nobility, and yet they were told they were not intelligent enough to have the franchise. Mr. Mimeses, batter, seconded the resolution. Mr. 14414 , 40 N, president of the Manchester Reform League, followed. He congratulated the meeting on the success of the demonstration. He admitted there was a great responsibility resting on those who called such meet ings together, but the responsibility resting on those who rendered such meetings necessary was infinitely greater. (Cheers.) It was a disgrace to the country that they hail to call together meetings such as that in order to insist on the constitutional rights of the people instead of their being settled on the floor of St. Stephens, which would be the case if the people were properly represented. Some time ago the people were ready to accept a very moderate measure of reform at the hands of the late government, but no such reform bill would now satisfy them. (Cheers.) He was glad to hear that ringing cheer, which would convince the government what the determination of the people was. They would now be satisfied with nothing less than manhood suffrage, sal let that be their programme from that time forward, and let them register their convictions that day that this meeting should be thebeginning of the end, as Mr. Potterhad said, and that end manhood suffrage. The resolution was carried by acclamation. Mr. Hof mea (bricklayer) moved the third resolution, viz. :—" That the thanks of this meeting be given to the chairman for his conduct in the chair, and to Lord Rene lagh for granting the use of these grounds for the service of the working classes on the present occasion." He urged upon the operative bricklayers still to stick to the banner of Mr. Potter—(bear, hear)—the speaker made some further remarks, but the pressure of the crowd, which now became excessive, together with the rain and fast approaching darkness, rendered it impossible to take notes. -- --- Mr. HOLTOAKE seeondedthe motion in a short speech. The resolution was put and carried, and the immense numbers congregated round the platform gradually dis persed. There were six other platforms erected on the ground, at each of which similar resolutions were proposed had car- rind, the arrangements, acconling to the printed pro- gramme, being as follows : Ptxrrom: No. 2.—Chairman : Mr. Wynne, plasterer.

Long before the speaking had finished at any one of the platforms the people had begun to move off, and about dunk there were only a few thousands congregated round the various platforms, which were situated a considerable distance from each other. In consequence, we are informed, of the judicious arrangements made by some of the ma nagers, and in part no doubt owing to an impres sion which prevailed that there would not be any thing like sufficient space in the rifle grounds, they were by no means crowded at any period of the afternoon. We were told that the marshals who were stationed at the entrance, in accordance with a previous resolution, directed the second and third divisions to pass by and debouch and disperse on the adjoining roads. It was stated that the arrangements for the supply of the magne sium light had failed, but whether it had or not, there was evidently no necessity for it, for as the speaking came to an end at each platform, with the usual vote of thanks to the chairman, and in most cases cheers for Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Bright, Mr. Stuart Mill, and Reform, the various bands struck up, the marshals got their different classes of men in order, and each party left the ground in the most peaceable and orderly manner. Once out in the open streets the various processions became dispersed among the general mass of pedes trians, and, with the exception that the streets appeared rather more crowded than usual, and that the crowd appeared to be all moving one way, nothing very extraordinary was observable. Shortly after four even the refreshment booths became deserted, and, with the exception of a few people in the immediate vicinity of the canteen, which was lighted up, hardly a straggler remained in the ground. Indeed, nothing more remarkable occurred in the dispersion of this enormous mass of people than in the breaking up of an ordi nary crowd, and certainly nothing at all like the confusion that generally occurs on the dispersion of the spectators of a review, a race, or any other public spectacle. A few policemen in knots here and there were observed in Brompton, but in no one case was their services required to quell any disturbance, and in the whole of the distance , walked by our reporter, after the breaking up of the meeting, namely, from Beaufort grounds to the middle of Piccadilly, not a single man the worse for drink could be seen. In fact the proceedings altogether were conducted in the most perfect order, and the conduct of the people, both those who took part in the demonstration and the spectators, was beyond all praise. We are informed that during the assembling and formation of the procession, telegrams with refer ence to the aspect of affairs were despatched at intervals from the authorities in the metropolis to the Queen at Windsor Castle. keeping time to their several bands, nearly all of which played with marked excellence, until they were opposite the Reform cpb, when caps and hats were lifted, and a hearty round of cheering given. " I saw a young lady," writes a comspondent of the Piece, " on a white palfrey, pacing up Regent-street, and followed by a sober-looking, unexceptionable groom at a few paces' distance. As the mass stood compact in her way, the fair rider looked somewhat dismayed, and fell back upon her trusty attendant ; but at one word from the latter, the docile crowd fell asunder as if by magic, and the damsel rode away safe and secure, a kind of Una trusting herself to the tender mercies of the British Lion —an animal which, with all its rough mane and deep roar, is not, after all, a less courteous or chivalrous lion than' any other In the European menagerie." The procession had passed along Piccadilly as far as Cambridge House in admirable order, when on reaching the house of Miss Burdett Coutta, that benevolent lady, who was standing at one of the windows with a few friends, was recognised by one of the first sections of the leading division. As if by one common impulse, the whole body uncovered, cheered, waved their hats, and bowed as they leased the residence. Each section, as it came up, followed the example of those who had preceded ; and for something like an hour anti a half that noble-hearted lady was the object of an ovation almost royal in its cha racter. Miss Coutts, who was evidently taken by sur prise, made the most cordial acknowledgment of the spon taneous homage. INCIDENTS OF THE D.Y. The procession moved always at a quick pace— not less than three or three and a half miles an hour. The official reports of the police state that not a single person was observed the worse for drink. Upwards of 4,000 foot and IGO mounted police were placed upon and near the line of route and in different parts of the town, but they were kept as much out of sight as possible. Frenchmen kept up an animated discussion in their native language and an unmistakable marching chorus burst every now and then from a band of some 30 or 40 carrying flags with the legend "Lurch Bildung :ur Frciheit." After passing the Wellington-arch, a few stands h:.d been erected for the convenience of those willing to pay for the privilege, but the only occupant of the first half. dozen was the proprietor, disappoiatedly smoking a short pipe. With regard to numbers the Times puts them at not MOM than 25,000. The Daily News quotes calculations which place the numbers as between 40,000 and 50,000, while others range as high as from 60,000 to 70,000. Pro bably the former of these estimates will he the nearer the mark. The numbers given by the Herald are 30,000. Just before 12 a private brougham, driven by a mud splashed coachman, passed through Pall-mall and the whole length of the crowd. It contained the Duke of Edinburgh and two other gentlemen. His royal highness kept himself well back in his corner, and passed through unhonoured and unsung. Amongst those who had been attracted to the park were noticed two members of the present tory administra: tion, namely, Lord Henry Lennox, of the Admiralty, and Mr. Earle, of the Poor-law Board. The latter gentleman, it will be remembered, was formerly private secretary to Mr. Disraeli. _ The shops in Pall-mall, Regent-street, and Piccadilly, as a rule, were closed—in the first two thoroughfares entirely, except such as were protected by railings. The windows, and when feasible, roofs were all occupied. The streets themselves were kept in admirable order by men interested in the event—men who were either members of the Reform League or of the trades' societies. Of the tailors and shoemakers who walked it was ob served that their appearance afforded a notable contradic tion to the old saying that tailors are always ill dressed and shoemakers ill shod. The tailors were certainly the best dressed men in the procession, and the boots of the shoemakers appeared to be sound enough and strong enough to resist the wet and mud even of such an after noon as yesterday. The horses of the farriers were evidently innocent of blood and breed, and the action of a few made one think involuntary of fresh-ploughed fields and country lanes. Nevertheless, the worthy farriers, with their blue scarves and healthy hardy faces, seemed immensely pleased with their horses and, accoutrements, and what they lacked in ornament they made up in utility. General Slr John Burgoyne, inspector-general of en gineers and director of works, and some other high officials of the War Department, witnessed the procession from the balcony of the War-office. Among other well-known politicians at the various windows in Pall-mall were Colonel Lindsay, M.P., Sir G. Bowyer, the Eight Hon. W. Cowper, &c. In the drill-room of the South Middlesex Rifles, which Is upon the ground, refreshments were supplied to the members of the Demonstration Committee ; and in this apartment it was strange to note that out of some scores of military pictures a solitary Life Guardsman was the only representative of England. Grenadien of the " Old Guard," Polish Lancers, and Austrian " Red" Human made up the ornaments of the walls. The clubs were full—the Athenaeum, with exceptional gallantry, having ladies on its balcony. The Oxford and Cambridge was the first in the day to make a show of sym pathising or unsympathising lookers-on. The Army and Navy came next, then the Travellers, and the two great political clubs were last of all in filling their balconies and windows. The rule was for the men to march on KIM intelligence. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—DEC. 3. After Tenn Nisi Prins Sittings at Westminster.—(Before the Lord Chief Justice and Special Juries.) WALLVISTRIN V. HIE/Mt This was an action for the infringement of an alleged musical copyright. The defendant pleaded several pleas denying the plaintiff's right to the copyright. Mr. Ed. James, Q.C., and Mr. J. O. Grata, were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Serjeant Ballantine and Mr. Day were counsel for the defendant. The plaintiff fa a German, and a musical composer, and at the present time conductor of the Haymarket orchestr►, The defendant, Miss Herbert, is the lessee of St. James's Theatre. The plaintiff claimed M. penalties for using his musical composition, which he produced at St. James's Theatre during the run of a piece called Lady Audio's Secret, adapted from the novel of that name during Mr. Frank Matthews' management. The question mainlyturned upon the engagement entered into by the plaintiff and Mr. Frank Matthews, and ultimately turned on a point of law, via., whether a person employing another to do certain things in connection with literature and music might be said to have " purchased his brains, " and had a copyright in the production. The Court of Common Pleas in a simil►r action had held in the affirmative. After hearing some evidence on both aides, The Lord Chief Justice said it would be much better for him to direct a verdict to be entered for the defendant, with leave to the plaintiff to move the court to enter the verdict for him on the point of law. Verdict for the defendant. SPITTY V. KITCHIN. This was an action for false imprisonment and a malicious prosecution. The defendant pleaded, first, not guilty, and secondly that he had reason to believe the plaintiff had stolen government stores. Mr. Serjeant Ballantine and Mr. Wiles were counsel for the plaintiff ; Sir B. Collier and Mr. J. Browne, Q.C., were counsel for the defendant. The plaintiff is a general dealer and beer-house keeper, residing at Bridwell-on-the-Sea in Essex, and the de fendant, Captain Kitchen, is in the command of the coast guard station there, and the charge against the plaintiff was that he had stolen the rope in question, whereas the plaintiff said he bought it so long ago as 1660 at a sale on the beach of old stores by a previous commander on the i station. • The case had not concluded when the court rose. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—Dgc. 3. Sittings at Nisi Prins inMiddlesex.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Bovill and a Common Jury.) THE SPECIAL JURY SYSTEM. In the course of the day complaints were made on the part of several gentlemen as to the inconvenience suffered in consequence of the mode of summoning special jurors. Ilia Lordship stated that he had grounds for saying that some of those who had the privilege of legislating for the country wculd endeavour to amend the system ; and in deed, had he himself remained in parliament, it was his intention to bring in a bill upon the subject. If the spe cial jurors themselves could express the feelings of the body, no doubt every attention would be paid to what they said, but probably the adoption in London and Mid dlesex of the plan of summoning one single panel of special jurors, instead of a panel in each came, would re move most of the existing inconvenience. This plan was already in operation at the assizes. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—DEC. 3. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE GEORGE FREDERIC DRUCE. The bankrupt was an attorney, of St. Swithin's-lane. The case has been before the court 12 months. This was the adjourned sitting for examination and discharge. The aggregate liabilities are 35,0201., against which there are assets returned at 18000/., and property held as security valued at upwards of 12,0001. The bankrupt had incurred liabilities on account of the Daveutry Railway Company and the Marine Estates Company (Limited.) Mr. Munna, for the assignees, stated that the assets con sisted of property at Bembridge and at Brighton, the deeds of which had not yet been given up to the assignees, but were held by the Hampshire Banking Company. Other assets were expected to be realised from the bankrupt's bills of coats, and the assignees did not oppose the bank rupt passing his examination, the order of discharge being adjourned. Mr. Graham, the official assignee, stated that only 901. bad been received by him. Mr. Reed opposed for Mr. Thorpe, of Leeds, a creditor for 10,360/., who was dissatisfied with the accounts. His Honour said it was quite essential that there should be an inquiry where assets returned at 18,0001. had only produced 901. Mr. Munns said that nearly 200/. bad been realised. Mr. Reed said he challenged the accuracy of the accounts from beginning to end. The bankrupt was an attorney, who had speculated in all kinds of companies, land companies, railway companies, hotel companies, beer companies, washing companies, and others. He had exe cuted a deed which turned out to be waste paper, and he had then come to this court to protect himself from his creditors. Bills returned at 2:1,0001. were most of them accommodation bills, having been given as surety for Matthew Shield, a railway contractor. Of this amount 11000/. was due to the Agra and Masterman's Bank. The bankrupt stated that 9,400/. was due to him for costa, but the items were merely estimated, and were not vouched by his books. I'art of the amount was claimed in respect of director's fees of the Norfolk Hotel and Club Company, the Brighton Laundry Company, and others, the bank rupt apparently having obtained the appointment of cer tain persons as directors of those companies on condition of receiving a portion of their fees. He returned some shares in the Inns of Court Hotel Company (now winding up), at 800/., and land at Natal, in Africa, " say 1000/." The accounts now rendered were a delusion and a mockery, and an adjournment sine die was asked. Mr. Lawrence, on behalf of the bankrupt, urged that as the assignees, who represented creditors for 11,000 g., were satisfied with the accounts, the court ought to pass the examination. The opposing creditor was a man who had charged 20 per cent. for his money, and it did not lay in his mouth to complain of the bankrupt's improvidence. His Honour said he would take time to look into the ease, and would give his decision on Monday next. IN RE F. COI:3. .... The bankrupt was a commission agent, late of Sloane street, now of Ashford-street, Hoatoo. This waa the sitting for examination and discharge. The accounts dis close liabilities of 40,3821.; there are no available assets, but the claims (stated to be bad) are returned at 1:17,3101., and comprise the following:—Promoters of the East and West Kens Railway Companies, 3,900/4 Fox, Henderson, and Co., 19,219/.; Lake Ontario and Hudson River Railway Company, 18,23'21.; the promoters of the Belgravia and South Kensington-road Company ; ditto of the Anglo-American Bank ; ditto of London (Victoria sec tion) Railway • ditto of the Metropolitan Improvements Company, an d several others, for various amounts. An adjournment was ordered for examination of the accounts. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before Mr. Bodkin, Assistant-Judge.) Antonio Viasani, an Italian, was brought up to receive the judgment of the court. This case has been standing over for a long time, and the facts were these. It was proved before Mr. D'Eyncourt, one of the magistrates sitting at Clerkenwell police - court, i that the defendant was what s called an Italian padrone, and was in the habit of importing boys from Italy, and having got possession of them he sent them out with a monkey, white mice, or an organ to solicit alms, and the sums so ob tained were taken possession of by the defendant, and the children so employed were wretchedly clothed and fed. While the boy Giuseppe Basini was so engaged in begging, having with him a monkey, be was seen by one of the officers of the Mendicity Society,and taken into custody for vagrancy. The defen dant was afterwards traced as the person who brought the boy over to this country, and sent biro out on his begging expedition. Upon this Mr. D'Eyncourt convicted the de fendant under the act 5 Geo. IV., cap. 83, see. 3, the specific offence being " for unlaw fully causing and pro curing a certain child , to wit Giuseppeßasini, to beg and gather alms, contrary to the statute , " and be was sen tenced to be imprisoned snd kept to hard labour for one month. Against this judgment the defendant appealed to 1866: the quarter sessiene of this court, and during the argu ment Mr. Montagu I‘ . :limns, who appeared for the de fendant, took an ob,ection that the boy was :mil not 1-1 years of age, as ..114ed, and therefore was hot a child in the meaning of the statute. The court, in the abase* of any proof of the fact, held that the boy was only 14 years of age, upon which Mr. Williams asked for a case to be submitted to the Court of Queen's Bench to determine this point, which was granted, but it was not until last term that this point was argued. Mr. Poland said this cane had been argued before the Court of Queen's Bench, and that court, as the point raised was clearly a matter of fact for the justices - below, con firmed the conviction. The Assistant-Judge asked the defendant if be bad any thing to say now, Mr. Poland said this court bad no power to alter the ' sentence. The AseistantJudge (addressing the prisoner) said he would have to go to prison fora month, and be could hardly conceive a more important case. It was thb habit of his countrymen to import children into this country for the purpose of making a profit by them by pending them out with an organ, or some other mode by which they could gather alms for their benefit. Re hoped this con viction would be a warning to his fellow-countrymen, but as this was the first case of the kind he would only be L sentenced to one month; but should any other cases be brought forward, they would be dealt with in a more severe manner. SURREY SESSIONS. The December adjourned sessions for the county of Surrey commenced yesterday at the Sarrions-lionee, Newington-causeway, before Messrs. J. B. Johnson, (chairman), Thomas Tilion, (deput.chairman), W. Mardi man, B. Drew, H. Dalby, Bagg allay, and H. Peek. The calendar contains the names of 31 persons for trial, 24 for felony, and 7 for misdemeanour. The state of edu cation was as follows :—Seven can neither read nor write, 4 can only read, 1,-; read and write imperfectly, and only 2 can read and write well. Among the ehart nali s are 2 for highway robbery, 2 for stealing in the dwe • -house, 4 for embezzlement, 3 for wounding and maliciou sassult ing, 1 for horse stealing, and the remainder are eases usually tried at these sessions. On the grand jury being sworn, the Chairman said he was happy to inform them that the calendar was unusually light for this time of the year, there being the names of only 31 persons on the calendar for trial, but probably before they terminated their duties there would be mix or seven more sent by the magistrates in the course of the day, making altogether about 38 prisoners. At the last December sessions there were 63 prisoners tried, showing an extraordinary diminution of creme . He could hardly account for it, as there appeared to be some distress, and perhaps want of work, in some portions of the district. Among the prisoners for trial be was informed that twelve of them had been previously convicted, but only two bad served any severe sentence. The others had chiefly been fined and summarily punished by the magistrates. Before he dismissed them to their room he wished to make a few other remarks respecting the calling together of the gram' jury so soon after the last session. In this county, when the general quarter sessions came on, generally two or three adjournments took place, as the case might be, to enable the court to clear the gaol, thereby saving expense and the valuable time of the grand jury, bench, and bar. If not so, they would have at least 300 prisoners for trial, and many of them who might be acquitted would expe rience great hardship in remaining in gaol three months before their trial. It was therefore for the benefit of all that the court held these adjournments. The grand jury then retired.. THE POLICE COURTS. GUILDHALL. Alfred Fisher, a respectable-looking youth, was placed M a. the bar, before r. Alderman Dakin, charged with steeling a ream of paper from his employers. William Wines, 551, saw the prisoner go into • public house in Farringdon-street on Saturday afternoon with • ream of cream-laid paper, and leave it with the barman. After a time he went and took it back again, and left the house with it. The witness followed him, and ques tioned him about it, when he confessed that be bad taken it from Mr. Mackrill's establishment, 24, NlThitefriare street, without his knowledge or consent. He begged the officer not to take him into custody, but to let him go. Mr. Mackrill said he could not swear to the paper, but he had some in stock just like it, and the prisoner, wt was hi+ porter, had access to the stock. The prisoner was remanded. BOW-STREET. Lieutenant-Colonel George Browne, a tall gentlemank looking man, who had lost his right arm when in the British service in the Crimean war, and who was more recently an officer of the Canadian volunteers, called out on the occasion of the Fenian raid in Canada, was brought before Mr. Flowers, in custody of Sergeant Langley, of the detective force, Scotland-yard, and Mr. John McLoughlan, chief of the government police of Montreal, Canada West, upon the charge of stealuig a sum of 3,302 dola., being upwards of 6601. sterling of public moneys. Mr. MeLoughlan has been in England since the IL September, for the purpose of arresting the prisoner. On Sunday morning he was apprehended at Dover upon a warrant signed by Judge Course', of Montreal, and duly endorsed by the Secretary of State, under the act 6 ant' 7 Vie., chap. 34, which provides for the remission to tb colonies of persons charged with felony who may hay escaped to this country. Sergeant Langley proved the apprehension of the soner, who was brought to Scotland-yard that morning, when be said nothing in answer to the charge, and brought to Bow-street. Mr. McLoughlan proved the inning of the warrant Judge Coursol and identified the prisoner as the per therein alluded to. The depositions taken before Judge Coursed were mitted and inspected by the magistrate. The prisoner was committed to await the Secret of State's warrant for his removal to Canada, and removed from the police-court to the House of Detenl in a cab, and put under the charge of Langley MeLoughian, - - - MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Charles Burke, an impudent•looking lad, wan ehi before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following robbery assault : From the evidence of Mr. James Ballard, the keeper a sweetmeat-shop, No. 26, Greek-street, Soho, it appeared that he had only been in business three months, during which time he had been robbed nine times. On Sunda• afternoon the prisoner came into his shop and took Christmas sweetmeat pudding, and ran oat of the shot He pursued the prisoner, and on taking him the prison struck and kicked him, and afterwards bit him on tl leg. The prisoner was one of a " school" of young thieve who were continually robbing him, generally.takiug ntunity of doing so when . lii;lrite e' wes alone in c T?p Pm Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for two mom with hard labour. MARYLEBONE. _ _ _ Edward Sellars, omnibus conductor, badge 4,132, charged with a robbery, the property belonging to London and North Western Railway. For some time past the increase of robberies from goods depot of the London and North• Western Railway, Camden Town, has been great, and additional constabl placed OD duty. On Saturday night, as William IS'Gra one of the officers, was going along the hay line, he obser a bale of goods concealed amongst some straw. He—km ing the bale had no business there—concealed himself, al after watching for near upon an hour, saw the prisoner , stealthily to the bale. He took off his coat and waistcom and commenced winding something around his body whir he bad taken from the bale. When arrested the prisor resisted with great violence. Sergeant Coppin, one of the company, detectives, for a remand. Mr. Mansfield remanded the prisoner. THE SEIZURE OF A RAILWAY TRAIN FOR DEL Yesterday mornini traffic was resumed on the Potter Shrewsbury, and North Wales line of railways, Mr. P( the acting sheriff, having at length yielded to the soli( tions of the representatives of the company, seconded the recommendation of the gentleman at whose suit writ was issued, and withdrawn his prohibition. The cession is however„elor,ged by the condition that the t shall remain in Shrewsbury all night, a proviso much , plained of by the officials of the company, as entail the expense and inconvenience of trains tr ling an extra thirty-six miles per day, as being unnecessary, inasmuch as the coinl station at Llaynynech is in the count] Salop, and the trains are therefore as completely the turisdiction of the sheriff at that point as if they at S wsbury. A bailiff travels with the train on journey, and remains incharge all night. An advertiset, announcing the sale by auction of the "locomotive engini carriages, vans, and effects " of the company appears the current issues of the local papers. The sale is " for to-day, but whether or not it will be permitted take place is a question much canvassed in the localil interested. The general opinion is that the matter otherwise arranged with the creditor, who it has pired is a member of a well-known banking firm metropolis. The issue of the affair is being watched considerable interest throughout Shropshire. CAUTION.—A SWINDLER. —A well-dressed about twenty-two years of age, about Mt.
