He censured , Mr. Bickaiore for keeping back the fact that young Wind hatu was sent away from the school because lie used foul language and it was feared he would corrupt younger boys. This fact was not elicited by errs -examination, but was screwed out of Mr. Bickniore by one of the jury. Of Mr. Ingram, the tutor at Feltharn, he fancied Le wan right is surmising that he had forgotten all about Wirral, and so with the ladies who administered to the ! wants of the boys at Eton, and who had been called to bear testimony to Mr. Wiudhani's cleanly and gentlemanlike habits, sad of hie general ability at school. The Rev. Mr. : Devon, he thought, warmed the evidence of the tutors ' and oomranions of Mr. Windham who had been called for , the petitioreers. Mr. Devon mentioned that Mr. Wind- l ham spoke to the landlords and waiters of the hotels where they stayed about his treat property, and it was well known that idiots and imbeciles had a great idea of them selves, and were always boastful, chiefly to their inferiors. Passing from the talon the learned counsel directed the attention of the joy to the evidence of the dependenta, servants, and others, who had been called for Mr. Windham. Mr. and Mrs. Martins had up to the last moment treated him as *child ; and their visit to Duke-street, when they heard that he was about to he married, was a visit to one whom they considered a child, and their remonstrances were not remain:roes addressed to • full-grown man in pos session of his senses.

The corporation resolved to subscribe 500 k towards the company, and speed to pay a certaio rental when the building was used for the arises ; and the orders directed the borough tree. surer to pay two instalments, amounting to ZVI., to the company, which was raised by rates among the ratepayers. The question was whether the oorporatioa could apply the funds of the borough in the erection of usize courts for the county. The learned counsel contended that it was a perfectly right and proper application of the rates. He also submitted that ths court ought not to interfere as the motion of the present applicant, Yr. Austin, as, althh the whole proceedings of the corporation in regard to the contribution of the money were publicly known, he took no steps to question or invalidate them until six months afterwards. —. Mr . Kaye followed on the same aide.

Upon that ground he thought that the orders could not in strict law be maintaieed ; bat it we. obvious that the corporation of Guildford had not meted male fide,:or with any 'Mistsr motive, in applying the in the way they had done. It was clearly dui able on their part that the anion should not be removed from Guildford to another place, which be might undertake to see would ioevitably have been the cue, if the maim awaits hid not been materially improved or changed.

Peter Simpson, of No. 10, .High-street, Park, Sheffield, seater , was apprehended on Saturday, on • charge of attempting to poises hi wife and child. Ilse circumstances are these. Simper* and his wife, who have bele married about 36 years, sad had 11/ children, lived very condoetably until • few years ago. latterly they have led as extremely uncomfortable life, owing, se the wife alleges, to her husband's ill- trestssent.

At the tint sip the woman perceived that the tea had a curious taste, and remarked upon it to her son. He tasted it,and confirmed herstatemest. The woman thereupon threw the two cope of tea she had poured out upon the thy beck. Finding that the tea in the pot bad the same taste she put a portion of it into • bot tle, and then thoroughly washed out the teapot at the water branch. She next made some fresh tee, which had • perfectly satisfactory taste, thus showing that the um usual taste was not camel by say peculiarity in the water. The drinking of the first tee produced a burning seesation in the mouth and throat of mother and chil d, sad this fact, together with the ennumatance that Simp son did wit go to breakfast as usual, excited a suspicion that be led let seasibieg into the teapot. The wife, seesedingly, took the tea which she bed preserved to Ar. Roper, druggist, by whom she was recommended to forward it to the chief constable.

Mr. Griffiths appeared for the appellants, sad Mr. Grey for the respondents. The Municipal Corporation Act enacted that a fund should be formed, but that DO property sli b eirt liable to the watch rate unless it was within 200 yards of a continuous street watched by Wight and by day. The missy in question were within this exception. The tad and 3rd Victoria, cap. 28, however enacted that the town council might by order impose a watch rate apoe the owners of any property within those parts of the borough which were watched by night and by day without any re ference to the distance of 200 yards. The question was, whether this clause got rid of the exemption upon the ground of distance, and rendered the company liable to pay the rate. The Court thought that the order of the justices should be afarmed. The general power of making a watch rate was limited to ezteud to property within 200 yards of a con tinuous street, but this limitation was got rid of by the fol lowing statute, the 2nd and 3rd Vic., cap. 2d.

A respectable trailesinao in Oxford-street employing a number of respectable young women, enclosed, fur the ; perusal of Mr. Tyrwhitt, the sitting magistrate, a handbill which had been bit at hi shop, and which he had racer- ; ,tined had been circulated in other shops where young females were engaged as assistants. The nature of the handbill, which is unfit for open publication, may be col lected from the heading, which set forth that a treatise of an atrocious character, Wooled to married and unmarried women, might be obtained by sending twelve = stamps to certain initials at a post-office io Cam The toad/moat said he fortunately was able to prevent the circulation of this handbill and its infamous purposes in his establishment, but he thought it a matter which ought at once to be communicated to the magistrates for their opinion. In connexion with the circulation of • certain class of handbills, it may be mentioned, that numerous complaints have been made at this court against persons who have had the audacity to throw these bills into the carriages of ladies as they have been out shopping. Mr. Tyrwhitt requested the police to look sharp after the diatribution of this last kind of bills, and with respect to the "Treatise" nuisance, that might be left with most ad vantage to the prem. The bill was thou handed to our reporter.

Before they got up to the prisoner he turned round, end used each disgusting expressions towards them that they OM Information to the police, and he was taken into ▪ bilisiotemialgra 61 B deposed to taking charge of the Oen* the ems the wore for liquor. The primmer denied using the expressions, saying that he recollected what took place at the police-station, but bed no recollection of what the complainants had stated. Mr. Train inquired of the prisoner if he bad any withers? The prisoner replied in the affirmative, and eillW James Charles Serria, who said be was with the prisoner at the time stated, the complainants not being behind them, but they being behind the complainants. The witness here admitted that the prisoner used an expression (which he explained, and which is unfit for publication) as apply ing to the complainants, but said it was not intended that they should hear it. Mr. Train said, taking this witnema's statement to be the truth of what had occurred, although he had no reason to doubt the testimony of the complainants, the conduct of the prisoner was very bed, and was deserving of the heaviest fine the law empowered him to inflict ; while for wing the expressions deposed to by the complainants, snob fine was altogether too low. The prisoner war then ordered to pay a penalty of 405., or in default 21 days' imprisonment. The prisoner was removed in emend , bat the money being subsequently paid, he was ATTEMPTS AT BURGLARY AND DESPERATE STRUGGLE. Two attempts have recently been made to break into the house of a man named Woideoch, at Maakinholes, near Todmorilen, who is 75 year of age, sad keeps a small grocery shop. The old man and his wife sleep to a bed on the ground door, in a room lighted by a little old-faskioned window of no great atreugth, the panes of glee. being let, into framework of lead, and one night, about six weeks ago, Woodcock was awoke by opens of the window being broken, and • hood being thrust through the aperture to unfasten the casement. The old man told the burglar that unless the hood were withdrawn he would chop it off, and this threat had the desired effec , of frightening the ruffian aod causing him to desist. On Faiday night but, however, a more desperate attack was made by two burglary, one of I whom struck the window a blow with something that had the effect of dnviog in the whole of the glass, and framework together. The burglars then entered the room, and one of them mooed the wife whilst tl.e other pursued the husband into another room, whither lie had gone for a weapon with which to defend himself. It was a dark night, but the old man gut hold of • pair of tongs nut struck the burglar who followed bins a severe blow with the heavy end. The next niomeot the burglar caught him by the throat with one hand, whilst be endeavoured to strike him with a carpenter's axe with the other. The grasp of the throat woe so severe that it forced blood from the mouth and nostrils of Woodcock, but still the old man succeeded in striking the axe from his aasailoot's hand by hitting him • bluer with the tongs across the wrist. Thu caused the burglar to stoop and search fur the axe, and whilst he did so Woodcock went through the bedroom and escaped by the window to get assistance from his oeighboura. When lie returned with some of his neighbours it was found that the burglars had decamped without t aking anything with them. In the room where the struggle hail token place o sharp carpenter's axe and a man's cap were found on the door. A good deal of blood was on the door, some of which, it is thought, had been abed by the burglar in the struggle. Woodcock was • good deal exhausted and excited through the encounter, and several of his neighbours remained with him daring the remaiuder of the night, and from Oscar* taken of hint it is thought he will recover from the injuries he sustained. There is reason to believe the police ars on the track of the men who entered the boom. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Jatt. 27. (Before Mr. Oommierkeer Oatßunn.)

Harry &combo and Co., and Herman Salome= and Co., of Durban and lietermaritx burg, dated November 30, 1861 :—Tu judge from iticreas ing ,rormigration we may coogratulate the colony oe the appreciation in which it is held in England. Fresh blood being almost daily infused by the arrivals of intending colonists, some contributing capital, others labour, both equally valuable, and available in the development of Natal's wealth ; and though we deprecate indiecnminate importation, there is no little satisfaction derivable from a knowledge, that whilst return cargoes are es yet not so numerous or valuable as they will be, ship load after ship load of merchandise reaches us, as if it was said by con signor—continued support, and moderate patience, will secure us wife and profitable returns. The Agricultoral and Horticultural Society's annual show will be held in December, when will be exhibited all articles from Natal intended for the London International Exhibition. Chiefly noteworthy amongst exports will be sugar, ivory, arrow root, and hides. Of these, with one exception, all are pro duce of Natal. Awl ivory we may regard as produce so hag as paid for by Natal, it is shipped from our port. Home samples (not of large parcels) of cotton (which within a year it is to be hoped will be considered of more im portance than at present) will too be found. For the List ten years cotton has occupied more or less of the time of enterprising colonists, who, however, fur the reams we shall give, have failed to enjoy profitable returns for their outlay. The drawbacks to cotton cultivation have all along consisted in the uncertainty of labour. Tdl the arrival of cooliesdarmers hail only the 1 tars to rely lima, who till then were sufficiently independent to choose some employment more congenial to their tastes than the in cement and tiresome work of gathering cotton. The plant flourishes in Natal as a perennial, whereby is necessitated unremitting attention, every plant requiring inspection at intervals of two or three days at latest. No fault can be at tributed to the climate, which is certainly as suitable for cot ton as any in the world, if we may judge from the samples which are pronounced equal with the best American pro duction (vide article on cotton Saturday Review). Every. thing at present seems to direct attention to cotton cultiva. tion —the certain market to be found in England—the greater abundance of labour—the little outlay mammary, and the general assistance from home and in the °okay that may be relied upon by all willing to take advaatege by the opening. IMr. Bagley, of Blanchester, we nodes, bee evinced his interest in this matter by forwarding to Mr. Beeingdeld a parcel of seed, which our esteemed towasmiam will be thanked for placing at the disposal el ietwading farmers. We hope at no distant date to be is a poultice to advise that we may rely upon large shipmate el this pro fitable export—in sample inferior to none that reach the home market.
