WANDSWORTH. MOM OPINIONS OF WAGISTRATZB Olt THI CAD LAW. Two cabmen, named Paul Stone and George Hillyard, o ught to recover from Mr. Robert Reeves.' magistrate toe mu sty of Clam, residing in Ireland, and at the Cedars, po e sy, the balsams of their fares. in them cams a very important point arom affectiog _both t h e pall and cabmen generally. The cabs were hired at ;be ewe time from the Easton-square railway station to * 0 defendant's house at Putney. The diet's), exceeded ova mass, being over six mile. inside the radius and G eer • mile outside. The defendant wished to know whether the cabmen were elided to divide the distance into Mr. Alamo said they were not, because in some ewes the Il ea get is . 6d. for a mile, or ;part of a mile, and Mat dearly was not the intention of the legislature. He l a d always held that a cabman must take the distance m il e by mile. He made the fare 6s. 6d., being for fetasee Ss. for six miles outside, 2s. inside the radius ; M. fa extra person, and Is. for luggage. Stone said the law allowed him to charge 3e. 6d., the dis taste Wads base over six miles ; and as the distance ont o& the r adius exceeded one mile, he was entitled to 2e. D m, so that his legal fare was 7e. The deeedant having proved that Stone was paid Se. 6d. aa d eras afterward, offered another shilling which be refund to soap; the magistrate made an order is his case f or the puniest of le. without costa. m e ee—Are we not to have oar expenses Mt Nyman—No, because you were o ff ered your right fore and you refused to take it. Stone —According to act of parliament the fax is 7a. I only summoned for la. because I gave in to your opinion. Mr. Cayman— You are obliged to go according to my contraction of the law. I must see that the act of parlia ment is not defeated. It was never the intention of the legisisture that cabmen should be allowed to charge Is. 6d. for one mile. Stone—lt is allowed in the City but not here. • Dayman—l am not bound by the City magistrates. they are not a superior wort. Sam—Cabmen don't know what to charge. Mr. Da Yon may have a case for the opinion of the Court of Queen's Beech. You had better consult your asthma on the subject, sad have the point settled. Stone--We go by act of parliament, and there are thousands who do the same. • Dalman—No doubt. The question is whether the City magistrates are right or whether I em. Is the second cue as the cabman did not carry so many pirceh be only received Sd. without costs. It may be stated that Mr. Ingham, Mr. Dayman's collagne, gave an opinion recently at the Hammersmith Policireourt on the same point, the very reverse of the shove decision. He was of opinion that a cabman, according to the act of parliament was entitled to charge sixpence a mils up to the redius post, and one shilling for a mde or portico of a mile beyond. It will be seen that Mr. Day ma's opinion is that the shilling a mile does not commence until the lest mile inside the radios is completed outside. THE QUEEN'S VOLUNTEERS AT WEESTMINSTER....-. firms DAS.)—The Queen's (Westminster) Volunteers during the past year contested at various intervals at the tide ranges at Wormwood-scrubs for prises amounting in vales altogether to an estimated sum of 1,00111/., and the beautiful trophies of their skill are to be distri buted at Westminster-hall to-day by Lady Constance Grosvenor, the wife of the Earl Grosvenor, the colonel of the 'tarps.

The woman of whom we are speaking learnt these lines, at the inst ince of her mother, when she was a child of 9 years, and has sot forgotten the lesson since. She is, it need scarcely be added, a pima of unusual intelligence. —Berta Chronicle.! METROPOLITAN MUNICIPALITIES.

PERILOUS POSITION OE A TRAIN.—At Durham, a min hu been cammitted for trial for an act which placed in imminent jeopardy the lives of the passengers in a train on the North Eastern Company's line between Durham and Sunderland. The defendant, who was in chugs of a horse and cart, hail taken sufficient drink to stupefy and incapacitate him. The consequence was that the animal, being uncontrolled, got off the turnpike noon an accommodation road which the railway crosses on the level. Instead of continuing along the accommodation mad, the horse, probably finding some obstacle in its path, turned up the branch, which lea single line, and had gone a distance of two miles before it was observed. A signalman on duty, expecting every moment the arrival of • train, was surprised at the unusual noise, and discovering that it Proceeded from the horse and cart, was fortunately enabled to stop the train, which was then in sight, and thin, probably, to prevent • areadfal calamity.— Yorkshire Gazette.

Her Majesty's return to England will not take place probably till late in June, previous to which she will visit the Emperor and Empress of the French, who are constantly mahiag the LI kindest inquiries after her health. Let no hope that the ; friends of the Hawaiian mission will not be inactive duriog g Queen Emma's enforced quietude, but wiU cheer her heart ti by liberal contributtona —John Bud. U PBOT/D3TANT AND GRES& —lt is not a little LI singular that, while the Auglioans here were coquetting with the Greek Church, the High-Churchmen in the United States were doing the ume thing ; and the dif. femme of result in the two countries is very in structive. Trinity Church, New York, is one of the oldest churches in the State, having been en dowed before the separation of the Americas colonies from Great Britain. It occupies, we believe, the place of a cathedral ; and it has latterly been given over to High-Church ceremonial, and a ritual something like that which may now be seen in the Tractarian churches here. The Bishop of New York recently permitted a bishop of the Greek Church, who happimed to be in the city, to occupy the pulpit of this church, in order, it was said, that he might have an opportunity of addressing the Mariam, and other foreigners of the Greek communion, who are always to be found in New York in large numbers. In the course of his prayers this Greek priest addressed a distinct invocation to the Virgin Mary. This created no little stir ; and a remonstrance was addressed to the bishop by several of the Episcopalian clergy men of New York against any further dallying with the Eastern herernarchs. Some of the newspapers, represent ing other protestant denominations, did there what has been done here. They asked the bishop, if he was anxious to extend his religious acquaintance, why he did not seek to do it among his brother protestant', in stead of looking out for new friends so far away. It would surely be much more seemly, said the hew York Evangelist. that Dr. Tyng, the well-known Episcopalian elergyman of New York, should step across the road and exchange pulpits with the great presbyterian minister, Dr. Adams. The end of it was that Dr. Tyng and Dr. Adams did exchange pulpits ; and when complaint was nude of this irregular action upon the part of Dr. Tyog, he retorted by saying that the bishop had set him the example of frsternisatioo. Tne controversy which has sprung out of this remarkable state of affairs is still very warns, and may, perhaps, have serious issues.—Patriot. BROTHER lONATICS.—Brother Ignatius is about to leave England for some months. Brother Plscides has left the monastery at Norwich for reasons in which Brother Ignatius concurs. In a statement issued yesterday, Brother Ignatius says :—" A relapse of illness has compelled me again to seek entire change and freedom from the severe harass and anxiety I have undergone for our order single handed for three years. My medical advisers have told me that I must go quite away from all anxiety, or I cannot bear up any looger. For my work's sake only I seek resto ration to health. Means for travelling have been offered me by one person in our order only. lam obliged to have a nurse (a sister of mercy) sod a brother with me, which treble my expenses. I have wore myself out for my work's sake and given up all worldly prospects for it. If church. men will help me to obtain the rest I need, I feel that, with God's help, I may regain my wonted strength, and after some months return with renewed vigour to my work in Norwich. I have been asked by some of my friends to close the monastery while I am away. I am most anxious not to do this if possible. Brother Bravura*, who has been with me two year', has solemnly promised to do all in his power to fulfil the trust committed to him, viz., that of brother in charge. I leave him in charge of seven brothers, all postu lants, with an exact rule for daily life prescribed by myself, collated from St. Benedict's. Owing to the fault of one whom I trusted, 1801. collected for our new chapel has been misappropriated. Of the debt for our organ, I have paid 904;404 still remains unpaid. This must be paid by August next. I particularly request that during my ab sence all donations and subscriptions be sent to my account at Messrs. Gurney's bank ; none to the monastery. Two gestlemen in Norwich have kindly undertaken to transact all business matters for the brothers, so that the monks will be altogether exempt from secular affairs." Brother Ignatius proceeds to add that there is still a debt upon the chapel of between 2001. and 900/.; and he intimates that if God restores him to health, he intends to appeal to the bishops for priest's orders.

The weekly return of the Bank of France shows the following changes: Ooin and bullion Bills discounted Government deposits lncrease 56.000 Notes in circulation lncrease 80,000 Private deposits Decrease 80,000 Advances The accounts of the French Bank show at last an improvement, the coin and bullion having in creased, while the discounts have diminished. The policy of the Council in not raising the rate of dis count above 5 per cent. is thus justified. At Paris and Brussels the rate of discount in the open market is 41 per cent. ; Hamburg, Turin, Amsterdam, and St. Petersburg, 64 ; Vienna and Frankfort, 54 ; and Berlin, 7 per cent. These rates are in every case considerably below those prevailing here. The transactions in the cotton market were limited to 7,000 bales, and the tone was still dull.

Reference was made espe cially to the non-registration of shares by buries, unless compelled to do so by an equity process. More stringent measures in this case against the purchasers of shares are considered necessary. It is presumed that the matter will be taken into consideration during the ensuing session of par liament.
