After our left yesterday, the Valuation of lands and Heritages Sootland) Bill was thrown out by 80 to 31. Sir G. BO ER said that he should postpone the Inns of Court Bill, as there was some objection to it, although it had been amended and re-amended by a committee of the benchere of the inns of court. Mr. AYRTON hoped that the bill, which proposed to give most extraordinary powers to the bendier'', would not be a ccep ted by the house. Mr. DENMAN denied the exceptional principle of the bill. Mr. LOCKE considered it a meet objectionable one, and that it created an extremely offensive power of conducting what were in fact private inquiries. The bill was deferred. On going into committee on the Vaccination Bill, Mr. BRUCE explained its objects, which are to con solidate the nix existing Vaccination Acts, and to promote the extension of the system. He gave an histories' sketch of the progress of inoculation and vaccination, from the earliest times of their adoption until now. He also gave statistics of the curative effects of the system, and urged that under exiding arrangements the benefits of vaccina tion were not as widely diffused, and under certain favourable circumstances, as they might and ought to be. The bill would give to the Poor-law Board the power of re arranging the vaccination districts, and revising the con tracts for carrying it out ; would provide for more com plete registration ; the medical men would have fixed dis tricts, and the guardians would have power to prosecute in eases where, after notice, parents refused to have their children vaccinated. . . . Mr. - llBNLEYObaerved that, in making provision for oompulaory vaccination, the bill gave no security for the perfect administration of pure lymph, there being great difficulty in getting good vaccinators and pure matter. The vaccinators ought to be paid better than they were, but the bill made no provision for that. Sir R. PEEL thought that there were many defects in the bill, which, unless removed, would render it inopera tive, and especially dwelt on the necessity for securing skilful operators and healthy matter. Mr. 11. Limns moved that the bill be referred to a select committee. Some discussion followed, and in fine Mr. Bruce acceded to this proposition, and it was agreed to. In committee of supply, a vote of 660,0001. for advances for courts of justice was agreed to. The other business was gone through, and the house adjourned at a quarter to 6.

THE BOROUGH OF CALNE. The following address has been forwarded to us (the OW) for publication. We have not as yet received Mr. Lowe's answer : " Sir,—We, the other upper servants in the Marquis of Lansdowne's household, feel it to be hincumlbent on their positions to notice &matter which has • great deal todowith the prhiledges of their order. Some low fellow as calls himself Bishop, with other ekally dirty radicals, has had the imperenoe to haull you over the coals, and we regrets to see that you hare demeaned yourself by a hargument with them. They seems to be • hunedi eated lot, as do not take in what's your place as a servant out of lively, and what isn't. It ain't for you to answer the door bell as 'as got ' servants' plainly engraved on the outside ; that ain't your place, and you bought to know it. Though a servant, you're not • footman. When his lord ship rings, then you had best see what he wants and do it. But never you go and take orders from tradesmen, and such like, as knows nothing about the best families. We, the undersigned, has always had the best places, and have never allowed any interference in the house, and we ain't going to begin now. We will stick to you, and as long as his lordship is satisfied, you will always find all the other gentlemen and ladies in the steward's room quite affable-like. But we has our rights and our rules, and if you his agoing to have dealings with a low feller like Bishop, and them others as keeps little shops at Caine, and argefy with them as if they was your masters and not his lordship, the sooner you gets into a livery coat and plashes agin, and goes back to that last place where you had a good character, the better. " (Signed by the House Steward, Butler, Groom of the Chambers, and other servants out of livery in the Marquis of Iwnwlovrne's household.)"

A crowded and enthusiastic meeting was held last night in the Myddelton-hall, Islington, to enable the inhabitants of the borough of Finsbury to express their opinions upon reform. The chairman was Mr. C. Gilpin, M.P. The first resolution was moved by Mr. A, Walker, seconded by the Rev. Dr. Maisie, and su by the Rev. Mark Wilks. These gentlemen warmly orted praised the Reform Bill, and while the incidental mention of the names of Gladstone and Bright were received with loud cheering, those of Lowe, Herman, Moho, and Grosvenor were greeted with equally demonstrative hissing. The resolution was this :—" That this meeting desires to ex press its cordial approval of the proposal of her Majesty's Wales to reform the electoral system of &gland and Wales by increasing the number of electors, and fully re lies upon the promise of the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer to introduce another measure to effect a redistribution of seats, so that the interests of all classes of society may be fairly represented in the House of Co' miaow." Mr. BUNTON, a working man, said he wished to say, before the motion was put, that on Tuesday night the Essex-road Working Men's Club, to which be belonged, passed an unanimous resolution that this bill would be of some benefit, though it would not go so far as some wished. The working men, therefore, would do the best they could for the bill, but at the same time they would never be satisfied until every man untainted with crime had a vote. As a working man, who had earned his bread with his hands for 60 years, he felt pity for the deplorable ignorance of Mr. Lowe, Mr. Horsmart, Lord Eleho, and Lord Cranborne. (Loud cheers.) The resolution was then carried with acclamation. BARNATIDIOO;4I6 reaOliiit;ilprOPOsing tbCsdop tion of a petition to be presented to the House of Com mons by the borough members. Mr. S. ALLEN seconded the motion. _ fonitin;JoLF.,;ujiporied --- . The merits of the bill were very great and very important, and amongst them were the ratepaying clause, and the clause which referred to the unfair disfranchisement of small maupound holders. He disputed the official returns of workingmen electors in Finsbury, maintaining that they were fewer than elated. In conclusion, the hon. member said this bill was the first chapter in the book of Reform, and with patience the rest would follow. (Loud cheers.) Alderman Lusk, ILP., and others addressed the meet ing, and after the petition was adopted, and a committee had been appointed to watch the p of the bill, A vote of thanks to the ch a irman closed the pro cee4iinp. WITTING AT BT. NARTINT-HAIL. Last night the Reform League held another public demonstration at St. Martin's-hall in favour of the government bill; Mr. E. BULLS, the president, occupying the chair. The hall was densely crowded, and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed throughout the whole of the pro ceedings. The attendance was so overwhelming that a supplemental meeting had to be held in the lower hall. The CHAIRMAN, in his introductory address, justified the policy of the league in supporting the bill. Lord Eleho was present, and his lordship was desirous of saying a few words in reply to a resolution which had been published at the request of Mr. Howell, the secretary of the league. Lord Eicnothenpresentedhimself, and was receivedwith a perfect storm of indignation. This tumult called up I Mr. THO& McGinn, M.P., who said he had attended to take part in the proceedings, but if they would not hear a man who wished to make his own defence they should not hear him, for he would not speak. This declaration had the desired result. Lord Swim was allowed to proceed. He said they were no doubt surprised at seeing him there. They were not more surprised than he was himself, for three hours ago he had not the remotest intention of being present. He had been in the country, and on his returning to town that evening he found an in vitation asking him to come. Had it been an ordinary invitation he might have excused himself for not accepting it, but it challenged him to come and say anything he might have to urge in answer to the charge made against him. (Hear, hear.) Well, then, he said he had confidence in the working men of &gland. (" Oh, oh," and uproar.) He asked them to hear kim, and not allow him to go away with the impression that his confidence was ill-foandecL (Hear, hear.) A Mend had offered to come with him and act as his second on the occasion, but he said, "No, I will c o alone," as he had entire confidence in the fair play of his country to know that they would force a ring, and that if he required it they would give him a knee. (Cheers and laughter.) Let him now go to the subject which bad brought him there. Along with the invitation there was sent • letter written to the Morning Star by Mr. Howell, the secretary of the Reform League, in which that gentleman enclosed • copy of a re solution passed by the delegates of the Trades Union of London, to this effect :—" That in consequence of Lord Rkho having in • speech in the House of Commons on Mr. Baines ' b ill for the extension of the borough franchise, vilified the people in a most shameful manner, this meet ing of trades delegates, representing 70,000 working men, declares that they have no confidence in him whatever, and objects to his becoming the chairman of any committee, whether in the House of Commons or out of it, affecting the interest of labour." (Cheers.) That was the charge against him, and having listened in silence to the accusation they could hardly now refuse to hear the defence. (Hear, hear.) Now Wore receiving the invitation to come there, having had his attention called to this letter yesterday (Them day), he wrote a reply, a copy of which he then held in his hand, and with the permission of the meeting he would proceed to read it. Be it remembered that this letter was written not ,as a preparation for that meeting, because it was posted to Mr. Howell before he had any thought of coming there. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord, in continuation, said the reply that he might receive would enable him to ju dge whether he had been guilty of the charge imputed ; but he could confidently state that he had never made any speech, either in or out of the House of Commons, that could bear such an interpretation as was now sought to be put upon some of his words. (Hear, hear.) Nay, more, since he had been in parliament, to the best of his ability he had supported every measure that could tend to promote the well being of the great mass of his fellow-countrymen. Why, what was the first great act of his political life! It was this: is 1846 he reszned his seat in parliament rather than vote against the repeal of the corn laws, and legislate for his own class ; and from that time to this he had promoted every measure that tended to benefit the mass of the people or to raise their social condition. (Oh, oh.) Take the case of volun teering. Who was the advocate for getting the work ing man into the volunteer movement! Why, he was. This very letter showed that he was asked by the represen tative of working men to take up in the House of Ccm - mons • question affecting the whole of their interests, and he at once heartily responded to the appeal, and moved for the committee. (Hear, hear.) He could never for one moment have been justly accused of being the enemy of the working men of this country ? (A Voter— " But what do you say about reform ? Come to that, my lord.") He was asked to speak upon the Reform Bill ; but he had not come there to discuss that question, but simply to give an explanation—(Oh, oh)—and he in tended to reserve for the House of Commons what he had to say about reform. (Oh, oh.) And when they heard or read what he should have to say upon it he was sure they would allow that he was not the enemy of reform. (Cheers.) Nor yet the enemy of the working man. (Re newed applause.) What he wished to see was that every class, every ,interest in the country— land, trade, commerce, and industry—should be fairly represented. (Cheers.) His motto was, Justice to all, preponderance to none. (Continued cheer leg.) And now, in conclusion, could he give them a better proof of the high estimation in which he held that assembly than was contained in the fact that he had come there single-handed to make this explanation! The noble lord then retired amidst applause, mingled with slight manfestations of disapprobation from a portion iof the meeting. When the excitement had subsided, Mr. HOWELL, the Secretary of the League, announced that Lord Elcho's letter, together with his own reply to it, would, no doubt, in due course, appear in the newspapers, as it was intended to publish the correspondence. Mr. HOLTOARE, in a few words, readily bore his testi mony to the interest and good feeling which his lordship bad, according to his personal experience, always displayed for the welfare of the working class. (Hear, hear.) Mr. CRAMER, the representative of the amalgamated car penters, then proposed the first resolution, approving the government measure, which in its terms was precisely the mine as that passed at the former meeting of the lmive, and was adopted by the working men's meeting held list week. The resolution was seconded by Professor REMIT, who found fault with the advanced liberals of the House of Commons for not having, on the occasion that they I were made, rejected the attacks of Mr. Lowe upon the cha racter of the working man. Mr. T. HUGHES, M.P., in response to a general Call, addressed the meeting at this stage, and explained to the meeting that there would be ample opportunities yet for dealing with Mr. Lowe's statements. He speed with his hon. friend Mr. Lewd that the effect of this bill would be to lead to the direct representation of the workman in the House of Commons by men of his own class. Earl Russell and the government were determined to carry the bill or resign ; but there were not wanting signs that the liberal opponents of the measure were now convinced of the error they bad committed, and in all probability the bill would be carried by such a thumpng majority se must in evitably ensure its passage thro ugh the Lords. If, how ever, it should fail to obtain the sanction of parliament in the present session, he agreed with the chairman that there would be an immediate agitation throughout the length and breadth of the land for a much larger measure of re form, which would be quite beyond the power of any oppo sition to resist. (Cheers.) He was, however, for reforming our institutions, not re-meting them, and it was in that spirit that he accepted the measure of the government as a representative in the House of Commons of the work man.ing (Hear, hear.) The resolution was also spoken to by Mr. J. IMADLanan, and carried by acclamation. • sand resolutiom was also voted, disapproving of the EXPRESS, 711URS1)AY 'EVENING, opposition o ff ered by members professing liberal view l aaa a petition to the House of Commons in favour of the bill having been adopted, cheers were given for Hari Russell, Mr. Gladstone, and Mr. Bright, and after passing a vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting separated at a late hour. A meeting of the parishioners was held last night in the Vestry-hall, Kr. Churchwarden ROBOON in the chair, for the purpose of taking into consideration the bill now before parliament for amending the representation of the people. Mr. J. R. Coumvs, having read letters of apology from Mr. Lewis Mr. Chambers, Mr. Hanbury, Viscount En fi eld, and Mr. J. S. Mill, moved the first resolution, as follows : `That this meeting approves of the government Reform Bill, and is of opinion that it deserves the united and hearty support of the liberal party, being an honest, practical, and practicable effort to amend the laws re lating to the representation of the people." (Cheers.) Mr. CONINGTON seconded the motion, expressing a hope that the ballot would farm a portion of the government reform programme. (Cheers.) A working men named DODD denied that the people of this country were as indifferent as they were represented by Punch. He did not know whether there was a postal communication acmes the Styx, but if there was he was afraid that Douglas Jerrold would be greatly disgusted with the recent proceedings of his colleagues. (Laughter.) He did not think the bill went as far as they had a right to demand, but it went as far as could be expected of the government, considering that they bed to contend not only with the tones, but with the renegade liberals, without whale aid the opposition would probably not have given much trouble. (Hear, hear.) Another working man named RANDALL suppor ted the bill,reminding the meeting that it was by ' in the thin end of the wedge that Cawley got e e open. (laughter.) The resolution was carried almost unanimously, only three or four hands being held up against it. Mr. Ross moved, and Mr. Srocsros seconded, the adoption of a petition to parliament in favour of the bill ; which was agreed to. Mr. Rumor then moved and Mr. WATSON seconded the following resolution, which was unanimously carried : " That this meeting has heard with satisfaction of the in tention of the government to bring in a bill to effect a redistribution of seats in parliament, and is of opinion that no reform in the constitution of the House of Com mons would be complete that did not remedy the present gran irregularities in the representation." (Cheers.) A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the business. Ann 12, aparttittg 3Enttrittgenct. CIIRLMSFORD SPRING MEETING.—WaDvamar.

The first day was delightfully fine, the company very large, and nothing but galty and Jollity was observable. To-day everything was the reverse ; rain fell heavily from • very early hour in the morning, and continued, accompanied by a boisterous wind, till the sport was nearly concluded. Those who braved the elements from the love of sport or gain looked miserable, their countenances plainly expressing that they would much rather be away ; and as a fitting accompaniment to such ill-omened weather, the great, and by many considered to be Invincible, Salamander came down when victory was apparently within his reach, and ruptured himself so severely that he was destroyed. The other races were so very unimportant that we dismiss them without any comment, and at once proceed to the principal race of the day, which, however, was shorn of much of its attractiveness by the scratching of Hall Court and Cortolvin, the former having the pen putthrough his name at 11.30 and the latter at 1.30 this day : and the absence of Alcibtade was also to he regretted. However, the race was very interesting, and will ever be memorable among the annals of cross-country contests. There were seven runners announced, but speculation may be said to have been confined to Salamander and Old Oswestry, the Liverpool Grand National winner, however, having such a decided call that odds of 7 to 4 were freely laid on him ; but at 100 to 30 Old Oswestry received substantial support. It is unnecessary to trace the competitors through this arduous race, owing to the fearful state of the course ; suffice it to say that three-quarters of a mile from home, Old Oswestry, Salamander, and Daisy were close together, and each apparently had a chance of winning: hut shortly afterwards the first-named, evidently the freshest of the trio, took a lead of two or three lengths, which he held into the straight. Mr. Goodman was compelled to rouse the favourite, and answering with wonderful gameness, he gradually dintinished the gap between him and Old Oswestry, and If able to maintain the fearful effort, it was evident the finish would lie close and exciting ; but this gallant effort was the last the poor animal could make, and faltering he sank to the ground about two hundred yards from home, thus leavlog Old Oswestry to win as he pleased. Mr. Blake, a veterinarian of Crewkerne, ex amined the horse, and stated that he had ruptured the palms muscles of his back, and advised Mr. Btudd to have the horse destroyed, which was eventually done. The accident to this splendid steeplechaser was a source of great regret to all ; and Mr. Studd's bad luck with Lord George at Warwick, where it will be remembered the horse broke his leg and was destroyed, and now with Salamander, Is indeed a misfortune. There were loud complaints from every one at the enormous charges of the hotel-keepers, both at Crewkerne and Yeovil, and the rapacity with which the visitors were fleeced in every conceivable way is worthy of the consideration Of the National Hunt Committee to hold their meeting in the vicinity of a town where gentlemen can get accommodation without being charged 10s. for asking a question and • sovereign for looMng out of the window, as one gentleman remarked he must hare been charged for theme privileges at that rate, to swell the bill to its enormous total.

A demonstration in favour of the government Reform Bill took place last evening in the Greenwich Lee tore-hall. Upwards of fifteen hundred persons attended. Sir Charles Bright, M.P., and Mr. Alderman Salomon', M.P., the borough members, were present. Dr. Purvis filled the chair. Mr. A.B. WiLsoff, who said he represented the dockyard and arsenal artisans, proposed an amendment, to the effect that no reform bill was satisfactory that had for its object the disfranchisement of the dockyard and arsenal artisans, and that the borough members be therefore requested to othe bill on the second reading. (Uproar.) . Tat: ea seconded the amendment. He said the claims referred to were not willing to be disfranchised, and they should therefore oppose the bill. (Load cries of " No," and uproar.) Mr. BAIT= L&NOIXT denounced the conduct of the supporters of the amendment as selfish and try in the extreme. (Loud cheers.) It was • to say, " Because the dockyard men are not provided for, yea must sacrifice the whole for the interests of a part." (Re newed cheering.) The amendment and resolution were then submitted to the meeting, when the latter was carried by an over majority. Mr. SALONONS, who was very warmly received, then addressed the meeting. At that late hour of the evening he would not occupy the time of the meeting, but he would merely say that the bill, exclusive of clause 16, would be carried, and that he would be found amongst the majority. (Loud cheers.) Sir CHAILLiS Bazaar had no doubt the bill would be carried with a substantial majority. The prooeedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. Knio's LYNN. A large and most enthusiastic meeting of electors and non-electors of this borough took place last evening in the Music Hall Athenaeum, which was full to overflowing, the great majority present consisting of the working classes. The enthusiastic unanimity which prevailed sufficiently demonstrates the increasing prevalence of liberal principles in this borough, which was until re cently considered to hold Tory opinions. Mr. Wiusrr (ironmonger) occupied the chair. Mr. H. EDWARDS (solicitor) moved " That this meeting agrees that a bill to extend the right of voting at elections for members of parliament in England and Wales, pro rby her Majesty's government, and now be fore the ule of Commons, deserves general and hearty support :man honest and practicable proposal towards an amend ment of the laws relating to the representation of the people." The speaker at considerable length reviewed the government measure, expressing his approval of all its features except the savings bank clause, which Mr. Gladstone had borrowed of Mr. Disraeli, and would have been ad mirably suited for that purpose if the object had been to enfranchise a parcel of servant men. There were for that borough 1,200 members of friendly societies with a capital of not less than 10,000/., and he considered the members of those societies had evinced their right to the fran chise. The result of the carrying of the government scheme in Lynn would be thus:—At present, out of a con stituency of 852, there were only 152 belonging to the work ing classes, and Mr. Gladstone's measure would enfranchise 2437 more, giving the total of 439 ; and as the register would be increased to 1,200 electors, the working classes would have a share of one-third of the representation. Mr. Gears (brushmaker) seconded the proposition, which was supp orted by Mr. G. HOLDITCH (magistrate and merchant), an d carried with acclamation. Mr. WAttass (magistrate and manufacturer) proposed the adoption of a petition in favour of the bilL Mr. Kamm. (journeyman tailor) supported the measure, urging his fellow working men to accept it as an instal ment, and be quite satisfied that the rest would follow. Let them know who were their friends and who their foes. Messrs. Lowe and Horsman were the men who bad con spired against them—(hisses)— and who were their friends? One was a blind man—(A Voice, " Fawcett," "Bravo !") —another was Gladstone—{cheers)--and another was John Bright—(tremendous cheering). He was the man who had fought their battles. Mr. D. C. BURLINGHAM supported the resolution, which was carried unanimously. A resolution that the petition should be forwarded to Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton, the liberal member for the borough, for presentation enabled Mr. Burch (brush manu facturer), Mr. J. G. Wigg (chemist), and W. Brown (grocer's assistant), to address the meeting ; and a vote of thanks to the chairman, proposed by Mr. Leals (ship builder), and seconded by Mr. l'ridgear, brought to a con clusion the most successful demonstration made in King's Lynn by the liberal party. HALIFAX.—A petition from Halifax, bearing nearly 3,000 signatures in favour of the Reform Bill, was forwarded last night to Mr. Stansfeld, M.P., for presenta tion to the House of Commons. YORK. —A general petition, signed by upwards of 3,000 of the inhabitants of York, and about 20 other petitions emanating from the different trades and shops of the city, signed by 2,465 persons, in favour of the govern ment reform bill, have been forwarded to Alderman Lee man, M.P., for presentation to the House of Commons. . FALMOUTH. —At a large meeting last night at Falmouth, convened by the mayor, Mr. Fox, a resolution was unanimously adopted declaring that the time had arrived when a further instalment of reform was both safe and necessary, and cordially approving the Franchise Bill as honest and substantial, and worthy of the support of all liberals. A petition to parliament was also adopted. Similar meetings have been held at Crediton, Barnstaple, Taviet, Newport, Ipswich, Dartford, Wal lingford, Birkenhead, Blackburn, Dudley, Cowley, Hales owen, Carlisle, North Shields, Armley, Grimsby, Don caster, West Hartlepool, and many other places.

A preliminary statement of amounts, prepared by Mesas. Johnstone and Co., shows liabilities of 21,9001., with assets estimated at upwards of 27,0001. A resolution was now passed for taking the cam out of court under the 185th section. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Lush.) TEI CAIN OF ARSON AT Till " DAILY TrAZGILLPH" OFFICE. Herbert Poole, 22, clerk, was indicted for feloniously setting fire to the warehouse of Joseph Ellis, with intent to defrasd. -- ----- Mr. Montagu Williams conducted the tion, which was instituted by the proprietors of the Daily Telegraph newspaper ; and Mr. Sleigh defended the pri soner. The facto of the ease have been repeatedly before the public, and after a long inquiry, and an able and ener getic defence by Mr. Sleigh, the jury, after a brief deli beration, returned a verdict of Guilty. The learned Judge deferred passing sentence on the pri soner, who wee removed from the dock in a date of great despondency. (Before Mr. Justice &nith.) Eliza Welsh, 22, was charged with the wilful murder of her ill .ete child. The prisoner, who appeared to be in • very distressed and miserable condition, both bodily and mentally, was seated in the dock during the trial. Mr. Lilley prosecuted, and Mr. Ribton wee counsel for the defence. _ — it4pTnied that the wisoner lived with her mother and several brothers and sisters at No. 2, Devonshhe-cotta ges ' Hackney. There seemed to have been no suspicion n that she was in the family way, but on the 6th of March the prisoner was found in the water•closet in • fainting state, and there appeared to be no doubt that she had been delivered of s child, and the dead body of a full grown male infant was subsequently found °marled under • loose board in the closet, and it &waled to have been jammed into the place with considerable force. There were some marks of violence on the bead of the child, and • handkerchief appeared to have been tied sufficiently tight round the neck of the child to have caused tion, but the difficulty in this, as in all similar cases, was, whe ther, in the first instance, the child was born alive within the meaning of the law • and secondly, whether the alleged mortal injuries were occasioned wilfully. The evi dence upon both these points was very far from conclusive. Mr. Justice Smith, in summing up this case to the jury, obeerved that the law was at present in • very nnsatuf se tory state in reference to cases of this description, on ac count of the difficulty of pro y. mg that the child alleged to have been murdered had ever enjoyed an independent ex istence. A bill had, however, been introduced into the House of Lords by the Lord Chancellor, with the object of meeting the difficulty ; but they mu s t deal with the law as it stood, and in his opinion the evidence that had been adduced for the prosecution was not sufficient to support the charge of murder, and they were bound to acquit her of that offence. _ _ _ The jury f ound the prisoner Guilty of the minor offence, of endeavouring to conceal the birth of the child. The prisoner was sentenced to air months' imprisonment and hard labour. - Joke 111:47/iti, a respectable-looking man, surrendered to take his trial for the manslaughter of Lo uisa Dethier. Mr. Ribton and Mr. Collins prosecuted, and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Straight. It appeared that the er was in the service of a wholesale dealer in rabbits, and on the day in ques tion had been to the St. Katharine Docks for a load of rabbits, with a horse and cart. He was proceeding to the west end of the town to deliver the rabbits to his master's customers, and, according to the evidence for the prosecution, was driving along the Ruston-road at a most furious pace. The deceased was an aged woman, a native of Belgium, and was in the act of crossing the road when the shaft of the cart knocked her down, and the off-wheel passed over her head. Mr. Justice Smith told the prisoner that he bad been convicted after a most careful trial of having caused the death of the unfortunate old lady by his negligent and reckless driving through the 'beets of this great metropolis. Though he might have had no in tention to cause this serious mischief, yet looking at the consequences of his act, he (Mr. Justice Smith) could not pass a less sentence than that which he now pronounced, namely, that the prisoner be kept to hard la bo ur for the term of eight calendar months. (Before Mr. Commissioner %err.) THE FORGERIES BY A CITY MERCHANT. Edward James Lindsay, was arraigned on several indict ments charging him with feloniously endeavouring to obtain by false pretences the sum of 385/. with intent to defraud the Agra and Muterman's Bank (Limited). The prisoner pleaded guilty, with evident emotion. Mr. Sleigh, instructed by Mr. Mullen., solicitor to the Londonßankers' Association, appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Serjeant Ballantine (specially retained), with Mr. F. H. Lewis, were in attendance on behalf of the prisoner. Mr. Serjeant Ballantine addressed an eloquent appeal to the court in mitigation of sentence ; and by direction of the court the prisoner was removed from the bar. At a later period of the witting of the court the prisoner was called up to receive sentence. Mr. Commissioner Kerr said that the prisoner had pleaded guilty to en offence which he should not allude to, nor should he say anything to aggravate the unfortu nate position in which toe prisoner now found himself The prisoner by his own acts had fallen from • ligh position as • City merchant by the commission of an offence which was of the most serious character as related to the commercial world. He (Mr. Commissioner Kerr) had carefully considered the observations of the learned counsel who appeared for the prisoner ; he had read the depositions in the case, and he had consulted his colleagues, and, in vindication of the law, be had to pronounce that the prisoner be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for twelve calendar months. _ —.,....... The prisoner on hearing his sentence fainted, and was carried by the attendant warders from the dock to the cells below. ATTENDANCE AT THE JUDGES CHAMBERS.—Mr. Justice Mellor and Mr. Baron Martin attended yesterday at the judges' chambers. There will be an attendance of two or three of the learned judges daily until the com mencement of term on Monday next. According to annual custom, after the reception at the Lord Chancelkes man sion, the judges will proceed to Westminster, and inaugu rate the term. The courts will not sit till two o'clock. NEW RACQUET-COURTS FOE ETON SCHOOL.—At a meeting of Old Etonian', held yesterday at the Charing cross Hotel, under the presidency of Lord Skelmersdale, it was agreed to make an application to the Provost and Fel lows of Eton for the grant of some College land on the Etonwick-road, between the gasworks and Eton-oommon, as the site of the racquet-courts which it is proposed to build for the bona& of the schooL Some liberal subscrip tions were promised, and it was decided that the committee should meet for the first time at Viscount Kirkaldie's house in Windsor, on the 28th inst., at 3 o'clock.
