FINE ARTS. PRFbCOES FOR THR Niw PALACE.—Yestarday bar IMareity, accompanied by his Royal Highness the Prince Corot, paid a de t to the radio et Mr. Iderinst, at John's-wood-road, kw the purpose el Ingeding tint gentry men's great cartoon of " Mimes bringing down the Tables ei the Law to the Israelites." Mr. Herber bee been mimed are this cartoon for upwards of two year, end Is now abed eturcute it in hero for the new Flores of Parliament. Mb Royal Highner Prince Albert has evinced W hirer in the work by frequently villain( it during its pope, sad yesterday brought her Majesty to inspect it on ilemnegieden. The Callan was graterely pleased to express am deep M ien* and approbation, both of the subject and Ile manse of treatment by Mr. Herbert. PoRTIRIT oF LORD PALMERATON.—A charm braid,' and boort, andettering, fall length, life-site portrait of Lord Palmerston, paired by Mr. F. Cruickshank, is on extubitket at 123, Pall-mall In the present conjunction of eirctunstancee and with the present change in the aspect of the political world, the following description of the picture in the prospectus announcing its intended engraving by Zobel reads rather oddly, not to say mockingly .—" His lordship le introduced as addressing the members of the House of Commons on the assembling of the new parliament, Thurs day, May 7, 1867, urn, the occasion of his lordship's triumphant return to power after appealing to the sense of the country upon the important Chinese Question." The back ground shows of course the interior of the house, with the Speaker, and two or three portraits. " God Save the Queen," the very pleasing little picture by Mrs. E. M. Ward exhibited at the Royal Academy last year, may also be seen at the same house. SALE OF PI, interesting sale of some pluming productions of the English school takes place to-day at klearn. Foster's, Pall-mall. Included an the pictures " Lucy Admit," by Cranriek and Frith ; " Nell Guyana," by Ward , a study of a some from the Vicar of Wakefield, by Frith ; and a ses-pieos by Stanfield of an unusually low and peculiar effect. " The Sunbeam," by J. Philip, is sur prisingly different in subject and treatment from some of the artist's more recent works. A particularly fine example of the figure-subjects of Redgrave is afforded in " The For tune Hunter." The story is felicitouely told, and the paint ing, especially of textures, has great imitative power. Two or three pictures by Mr. Pettit appeared to us superior in every way to the artist's works just exhibited at the National Institution. Thom is an exquisite sunny landscape by P. Neeroyth. A very small but highly-polished gem, " The Recruit," by F. Goodall, offers in its truthfulness of cha racter an amount of promise the artist has scarcely subse quently redeemed. There an, besides, a goodly collection of water-colour drawings, including some by 1). Cox, a little less blurred than more recent works. DRAMA. - .11. - LYCEUM. Miss Helen Fancit closed her starring engagement at this theatre last evening in the character of Pauline, in els Lay of Lyons, supported by Mr. Charles Dillon, in the sort ol Claude Msinotte. Pauline is one of the moat cifec ties Lewis parts in one of the best acting plays of the modem drains and it is no insult to the profession to say that Miss Fancies embodiment, although not equal, for various reasons, to what it was in the Macready days, is still the best performance of the character on the English sears. If Mr. Charles Dillon had a reputation to make as a Brut-claw actor, he might safely take his stand upon his Claude kielnotte. He is equally good in the comedy scene and in the parts of high parks, and we are glad to sea that ha has had the good sere le dries the assumed prince some thing like a military molds me, sad not like the state foot man that is tee ahem premested to os. Mr. Dillon's open, natural style of eetlag, wed absence of stage voice, give an agreeable terse le the ohmmeter, even where the passages of tike ontimmil ems is the way of the real pathos of the story. The plies was well acted throughout, sad received with entLusisms by a eery crowded audience. NAVAL AND KILITABY. APPOIN TM EN TS. A MMULLTY, MARCH 18.— Admire' of the White E.

TEI EARL OP This suit wan Instituted for the porpoee of settling a ques tion whether certain property bequeathed to the plaintiff by Lord Dudley Stuart fell within the scope of a covenant in bar marriage settlement. By the covenant in the settlement In question it wee " provided, declared, and agreed between sad by' the parties thereto, and the said John Marquis Town - Am; for himself, &c., did thereby covenant, promise, and grsat, ' with the trustees, that in case the marriage should take effect, and the plaintiff, "or the said Marquis Townshend fa hew right, should become possessed of, or interested in, or entitled to, any personal estate, moneys, effects, or other pro in possession, reversion, remainder, or expectancy," t h b f e M w means whatsoever, the said Marquis Townshend and plaintiff should, within six calendar months after Lady Townshend became so entitled,t master the estate to the trustees of the settlement. By the will of Lord Dudley Stuart, dated In 1863, a sum of 6,0001. was directed to be held by his true tees upon ouch trusts as Lady Townshend should appoint, and in default of appointment, upon trust for her for life for her separate use, with remainder in trust for his exeeatore or administrators. It was thia sum of 6,0001. which wait in dis pute, it being contended on the one hand that it fell within the covenant in the settlement, and on the other that it did not' Belly, Mr. Leach, Mr. Stratton, Mr. Giffard, Mr. alts, and Mr. F. Bacon represented the different parties. The Vice-Chancellor said that the bequest under the will of Lord Dudley Stuart really constituted three distinct gift. There wort the gift of the power of appointment, the gift in default to the plaintiff for life, and the gift to the plaintiff of the ultimate reversion in case she died without ince. In his Honour's opinion the covenant to settle failed to touch either the power or the life estate ; but he came to the conclusion that it operated on the revessionaryinterest, and there would, therefore, ba a declaration accordingly. (Before Vi Si, W. P. Wood.) THE ATIIEN.F.UNt INSURANCE COMPANY.-TN RE A. BAILEY RICHMOND—WINDING-UP ACT—CONTRIBUTORY. This was a motion by way of appeal from the decision of the chief clerk, whereby Mr. Alexander Bailey Richmond had been placed on the list of contributories to respect of 2,100 shares. The grounds on which the motion was made were of a somewhat extraordinary character, and would form en instructive chapter in the history of frauds. The com pany, which was formed as a proprietary insurance company, was established in 1851 It would seem it had been intended that the capital should be large, but it was not clear whether ' a hundred thousand or • million was the sum fixed upon. The Joint Stock Companies !Act provides that no company shall be registered until one-fourth of the share capital has been subscribed for,but only 3,027 one pound shares had been taken up in this concern. To obviate this difficulty, the deed of settlement provided that the capital should be 10,0001., and complete registration was effected on the 14th May, 1856. The deed, however, contained another provision that at an extraordinary meeting of shareholders, at which not less than 50 shareholders should be present, the capital might be lammed by an amount not exceeding 990,0 M., and on the 16th of May, two days after the company had been completely registered, a minute was made in the share holders' book to the effect that at an extraordinary meeting of shareholders held that day, the Rev. J. Bartlett in the chair, it was resolved that the capital should be increased to 100,000/. ; that 1,400 shares should be awarded to the pro mitten of the undertaking ; and that a vote of thanks be gtven to the Rev. J. Bartlett for his conduct in the chair. These minutes, it was stated, were in Mr. Bartlett's writing, and the fact was that no such meeting ever took plate. The directors, however, issued shares aa if the resolution had been legally canted, and 35,000 shares were issued alto gether. Mr. Richmond executed the deed in October 1861, and took a thousand shares, on which he paid 11. s share. He was elected a director and took his seat. While he was on the direction he proposed that no more shares should be famed, and that the directors should take up the remaining shares and hold them for the company. He alleged that this was agreed to, and that in pursuance of that arrangement he signed the deed for 2,000 shares in addition to those be already held, but the shares were never actually issued, and he paid nothing on them. He resigned his seat on the direc tion in October, 1864, and announced his intention to sell his thousand shares. The directors flared the effect of throw ing a thousand shares at once on the market, and they requested him not to dispose of his shares, but to accept a bond of indemnity against risk. This b agreed to do, and the bond was executed in respect of the thousand shares. At the latter end of 1856 the company was in difficulties, and the shareholders appointed a committee of shareholders, of whom Mr. Richmond was one, and afterwards, the directors having resigned, they elected the members of the committee in then places. Mr. Richmond had then transferred his thousand shares, but in order to qualify himself as a director he took another 100 shares. In 1866 the company was brought under the operation of the Winding-up Act, and some extraordinary disclosures were then made. It appeared that a Mr. Cox was appointed superintendent of agencies, and he resisted being placed on the list of contributories. on the ground that when he signed the deed it contained a clause limiting the liability of the shareholders to their shares. Evidence was given before the chief clerk on this matter, and it was shown that the deed, which was a parchment in the book form, bad cot the clause in question in it when it was registered, bat that it had been inserted when Mr. Cox executed it. and also when Mr. Naylor, a gentleman residing in Sheffield, and who executed it at the instance of Mr. Naylor, on the understanding that the liability was limited. It wee also shown that circulars were issued with extracts from the deed, including this clause, and that the skin sentaining the interpolated demo was afterwards re moved. It did not appear when It was removed, nor whe ther it was removed when Mr. Richmond signed the deed, but it was contended on his behalf that he ought not to be held liable in respect of the 2,000 &area inasmuch as be took those shares only for the benefit of the company, in pur • seance of the arrangement betweao himself and the other directors, and that moreover the directors had made a call of sa. a share, which he had not paid, and in consequence they had been cancelled, and that both with regard to them and to the 100 shares he ought not to be held liable, inasmuch es he knew nothing of the interpolated clause which invalidated the deed. The Vice-Chancellor said there was no evidence that the interpolated clams was in the deed when Mr. Richmond signed it, nor was that his case, and it would be a startling doctrine to hold that a shareholder who had signed the origi nal deed should be entitled to escape from the circumstance of others having signed it with an additional clause. Mr. Rich mond had been returned to the registration officer as holding 2,000 'harm and he stood before the world in that capacity. The subsequent cancelling of those shares by the directors he looked upon as a proceeding of no validity, inasmuch as they had no power to cancel shares, but the deed went on the assumption that the forfeiture of the shares would be a pro ceeding which would be beaeftcisl to the company. Then with retard to the increase of capital, though that had been accomplished by improper means, and, he regretted to say, through the medium of a clergyman, yet so dividends were paid on the increased capital, and the shareholders must have known of it, they must be held to have acquiesced in it. Mr. Richmond would, therefore, remain on the list, in respect of 2,100 shares. Mr. Pigott appeared for Mr. Psinter, the executor of a shareholder, who claimed exemption on the ground that his testatrix had signed the deed when the interpolated clause had been removed, and that the interpolation had invalidated the deed. In this case also his honour decided that the same should remain on the list. The Vioe-Chancellor, in the oonrse of the hearing, ob served that there was reason to believe this wee not the oily caao in which the deeds of settlement of joint stock companies h►d had clauses interpolated, and he had communicated the facto of this came to the late Attorney-General. ceedings to abate the nuisance complained of, but they were not effectual, and it was at length considered necessary to Institute the present prosecution. The case was proceeding when the parcel was despatched, and appeared likely to occupy a very considerable time. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.—MAID/TONE. M .sateu 18. (Before Mr. Justice Ede sad a Special Jury.) SHILLING V. THE ACCIDENTAL DZATH IN VCIIANCN COMPANY. We case wu not brought to • conclusion until late on Wedgesday evening. amjesst She. addressed the jury in a forcible speech for Ihe dedandeints. The principal point he relied upon as an answer le the action was that the insurance effected on the behalf @Me deoeued James Shilling was not a bond fide in enranm by him, bet that the insurance was effected by his son, Thomas Shilling, for his own benefit, and that the father had no Interest in the matter. A number of witneues were examined to speak to certain statements made by Thomas Shilling. to that effect, and evidence was also adduced to show that James Shilling was subject to fits and other ailments which had been kept from the knowledge of the company at the time the insurance was effected. Mr. Justice Erle, in sunimlog up, told the jury that the statute of the 14th George 111. was pawed expressly for the of preventing pumas from effecting amuranora upon proposeh ras of others for their own benefit, and he obeerved that it was obvious that if a person were allowed to effect an in surance upon the life of another without the knowledge or mention of that other, such a proceeding was calculated to lead to • good deal of crime, and the ohject of the legislature was to repress such a coulee of conduct. The learned judge then called the attention of the jury to the facto of the case ell they appeared in evidence, and said that if they were of opinion that the innocence was effected by the eon, Thomas Shilling, without the content or knowledge of his father, and with the view that he himself should alone have advantage from it, the defendants were entitled to a verdict upon the plea which alleged that the icseranee wee en imaginary one, and not effected for the benefit of James Shilling, but for that of his eon. _ _ returned • verdict for th e de fTdanltWitiar. y almost immediately en THE QUEEN V.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—WARWICK, MARCH 18. (Before Lord Campbell.) YIELD (umiaaD) T. LECT (HENRY SPENCER).-ACTION FOIL 1 L.LiOiL INTRESEI. Counsel for Q.C., and Mr. Wills; for the defendant" Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., and Mr. Field. Mr. Wills said this was enaction for breaking and entering i t o ti s oi. laintifi's dwelling-house and stealing a quantity of his The defendant pleaded first, not guilty; secondly, that the goods were not the goods of the plaintiff ; thirdly, that the dwelling-house was not the dwelling-house of the plaintiff ; fourthly, that he committed the trespass in execution of • writ of fi. fa. upon the goods of Samuel Robbins ; and, fifthly, that the goods belonged to Samuel Robbins. Mr. Mellor, Q.C., said the plaintiff sought to recover 1261. 19s. for • most extraordinary proceeding on the part of the high sheriff of this county, in demnified no doubt by the execution creditor, whose con duct would be brought before them in this case. The execu tion in respect of which the goods were seized wee against Samuel Robbins, by • • man named Garrett, mortgagee, against Samuel Robbins and Francis Robbins, who were oo mortgagors or jointly parties to • covenant for payment of the money. As the freehold of the property was not worth the amount of the mortgage, the mortgagee brought an ac tion and obtained judgment, upon which an execution was put into the plaintiff's house on the 18th of December last. The plaintiff, Mr. Field, was a man infirm in health, who bad had little to do with the management of the business in question. He originally lived as farm servant to Sam. Robbins. who some 20 years ago occupied 'farm at Snitterfield, and Mrs. Field was housekeeper at the same place. They lived with him a little time, and when he left the farm Mr. Field went to live with his father at Bidford, in the same capacity as he bad lived with Samuel Robbins. Mrs. Field, at the same time, came to live at Warwick, took a house in West-street, sad est up • greengrocer's shop. She kept that on for about • year, whoa, by the advice of old Mr. Robbins, she began the business of a butcher. She had a son, then 17 of age, and a hired man who used to assist her .in the business. Old Robbins, the father, died; and upon his death Samuel Robbins, the son, being much reduced, came to live at Fields house, occupied a small bit of land in the neighbourhood, and did • little in dealing in beasts. Mr. Fiel d, the husband, had no ac quaintance with the buiiness, and did not interfere with it, having been farm manager to Mr. Robbins, sen., till a few years ago, when he came home infimi in health. At Christmas last, Samuel Robbins having lodged with them some time, having occasionally assisted them with his judg ment, and having been engaged in busing and ogling on his own account, sometimes selling haute to Fields, for which he was always paid ; at Christens last they had been buying • quantity of beasts, preparing for Christmas, and he should give minute evidence as to this meat being paid for by Mrs. Field and son. Having made this prepara tion the sheriff's officer came in with • writ of fi. fa. against Samuel Robbins, and seined the meat and butalers' utensils in the shop, and they were sold under the execution next day. Witnesses were then called to prove the above facts ; and they were cross-examined by Mr. Macaulay with a view of showing that Robbins was the occupier of the house, and the goods were kis. At the conclusion of the plaintiff's case, Mr. Macaulay having said he should not call witnesses for the defence, Mr. Mellor was proceeding to sum up the plaintiff's case, when The learned Judge said, if no witnesses were celled for the defence, after such a very strong case for the plaintiff, the learned gentleman, whom they all so much re spected, and who would no doubt do all that talent and eloquence could accomplish, he thought could not expect them merely on his observations to r in the face of positive, direct, and uncontradicted evidence. Mr. Macaulay said he might be labouring under an hallu cination, Ind he had intended to ask the Jury not to believe the evidence of Mrs. Field and Robbins. The Judge said he must say it appeared to him, as it stood, in undefended cue. Mr. Macaulay intimated that if there was • strong opinion in the jury-box in favour of the credit of Mrs. ' , told and Robbins, after what had passed, he should not attempt the t tro k ug o l f it en wil l e et n v = ing car to ee removetn ed th le t rufy re roul l d He had think that, though this was not a case of an srrsogement made at the moment for the purpose of defeating an execu tion, yet that there had been a motive from the very begin ning for Mr. Robbins having a butcher's shop established in Warwick in the name of another person—that this old labourer and his wife were not likely to have capital for esta blishing.• ilouriahing butcher's business at Warwick. The jury having expressed their satisfaction with the plaintiff's case, Mr. Maeauliy consented to • verdict for the plaintiff— damages, 1201. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before Mr. Creoury.) William Taylor, 34, surrendered to take his trial on a charge of haring stolen a Newfoundland dog, value 101., the PrZlof Alexander C Pierre. Crew Pierre. Atkinson prosecuted, Mr. F. H. Lewis was for the dames. Ti bring the case formally beforo the court it was necessary to prove in the first instance that the prisoner had been before convicted of a like offence, the case against another person, who was concerned in the matter with the prisoner, being abandoned In consequence of there being no former conviction against him. Inspector Langdon, of the N division, stated that he had the prisoner in custody in 1851, and pro duced a certificate of his conviction dated May in that year, The prosecutor it appeared lived at No. 15, Peerles.s-row, City-road, and on the 11th of February the dog in question was missed from • yard attached to his premises. The dog was seen at the corner of Bath-etreet, and the prisoner and the other person attended to entice it away by throwing pieces of liver which it caught and devoured. A person who saw this told one of the prose cutor's men about it, and the primmer and the other man were followed to Nile-street, City-road, where they were found still enticing the dog by throwing it liver, and the other man was at once taken into custody, and the prisoner shortly afterwards, on being pointed out to a constable. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of attempting to steal the dog. Mr. Cressy sentenced him to three months' Imprisonment. Hannah Moorsom was indicted, with Thomas Marshall (who surrendered), for stealing the skirt of • silk dress, and • veLlkom the person of • young women. defame. . Homy prosecuted ; Mr. Sleigh apyeared for the This case, which was tried late In the afternoon on Wed nesday, was rather singular. The prosecutriz went with a Mend to see a gentleman living in Cambridge-heath-road, and after her friend had left her, she and the gentleman took a little too much to drink. They went to a public house and had more drink, and the " gentleman," who was then quite tipsy, said he would go and get a cab to send pro seentrix, who was in the same condition, home ; he went away, and did not return. The piorezutris had more drink, porter and gin, with, as she aid, the female prisoner, who was in the public-house, with a man, but she could not say it was Marshall, and on her going ou tside: she was in such a shate of drunkenness, that a mob of boys got round, and =deuce! of her. ccording to her evidence, the woman interfered to protect her from the boys, and she and the man took her to some place, where she could nlt tell, when the man knocked her down by a blow on the mouth, and while she was down, the woman tore off the skirt of her drum, and took the veil off her bonnet, and went away. A policeman found the proeecutriz complaining to a man that she had been robbed, and he went after the prisoners, whom he had previously seen with the woman, and he found them under a lamp looking at the skirt of a dress. Moorsom made several statements to account for her possession of it, and at last arid the proucutrix had given it her, for pmtect fag her from the boys, end as it was nearly torn off, and had been " draggled" through the mud. The prosecutrix her self was taken to the station-house for beirg drunk, and acknowledged that she became nearly insensible after par taking of the last drink ordered at the public-house ; but she denied that the female prisoner pinned up her drum be- MUSS it was so torn that it trailed on the ground, or that it having been torn off ahe gave it to the woman as worthless. She said she was respectable and resided with her parents at Pimlioo and was not in the habit of drinking—thi s would be a serious lesson to her. The gentleman in whose com pany she bad been was now in the country ; he was unmar ried, and she called to see him at his mother's house. Bhe could not tell why he did not return with the cab he said ha would fetch. 'Thejury after bearing an able addtess from /Ir.

THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. The Lord MayerreqUttiteifilitieirCes would acknow ledgell the receipt of the second halt of a 101. note from GUILDHALL. James BMA an attorney, residing at 31, Bedford-terrace, Old Ford-bridge, appeared upon a stunimma before Alderman Hale to show cause why he refused to pay a cabman his fare. Alfred Able said—On Beturda the eth of March fait, the defendant hired me, and said J I would welt half an hour for him without charging it he would give me a job. I said I would, and he then told me to wait for him at the stables in Devonshire street Ear, Mile-end-road. I waited an hour and a half, and then drove him to Staple-inn, when he refused to pay me my fare, 4s. I asked him for his address, which he ultimately gave me. Mr. Elliott—Do you not know I am in the habit of riding a good deal In cabs P Complainant—Yee, and that you do not pay for them. (Laughter.) Mr. Elliott then questioned the cabman at some length, eliciting from him that he (Mr. Elliott) had told him, when he engaged his cab, that he was in the habit of paying two shillings, but he did not ask his fare ; that the cabman had come to Ms house on Sunday, and agreed to take 2a. 6d., but Mr. Elliott then said he did not pay debts on Sunday, but would send round the money on the next day, which he failed to do. Alderman Hale said be bad never known a clearer cue. The defendant must P ay 4s. for the fare, 3e. for the summons, and 4s. for two days for of time. The money was paid In the course of the afternoon. CLERILENWELL John Leonard, Leonard-square, Shoreditch, a broker was charged with unlawfully assaulting and beating Ellen Mary Jackson, of 3, Mylne-street, Claremont-square, on the 9th of the present month. The complainant, a respectable-looking young woman, mid that yesterday week, between the hours of two and three in the afternoon, a distress for rent was put into the house, and the defendant and two other men entered. When they got in, the defendant, who was very much the worse for liquor, rushed over the house, and made use of bad and disgusting language. Leonard followed her upstairs, put his arms round her waist, and said, It was entirely at his pleasure that was done, and as I let hint so he would do." She then ran downstairs to where the landlord and a female were. The defendant and his men, after the landlord bad gone, then threatened the complainant and another female, and said if they did not leave the house and give up the keys they would be pushed out as they were. They then put on their bonnets, and when outside the house the defendant said he would let them return, but only on sufferance. When they went beck, the defendant asked the females to go for some gin, and when they refused he again made use of very bad tango .ge. Shortly afterwards, the defendant beckoned the complainant into another room, and when she went there he shut the door, polled her acres/ the room, and Mailed her re peteadly. When she called out he let her go, and then she complained to her friend and one of the broker's men. The defendant also said that if she did not go with him to Kent, he would at once put the goods in a van and take th em away. Mr. Tyrwhitt inquired for the broker's warrant. The defendant not being able to produce the warrant, Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was the defendant's duty to have brought the warrant, and he did not care one straw about his saying that he had left it at the complainant's house. From all he saw to the contrary, the defendant was in the house a trespasser. Brokers knew what they were about, end if the defendant did not know his business he meet be taught. The defendant denied the charge, and called a man whom he had put in possession at the time, but who, when he got into the box, gave a confused account of the matter, and said that it was a very mysterious question, and one that be did not properly understand. 7' r. Tyrwhitt said there could be no doubt that the de fendant went with an execution to the house very drunk, and took that opportunity of threatening the complainant and assaulting her. Ho should order him to pay the sum of 61. and costs, the full penalty, or, in default, two calendar months hard labour in the House of Correction. The prieoner was locked up in default. WESTMINSTER. Elie Marker, a wretched looking apparently about 20 years of me, was charged with attempting suicide. Edward Moreman, 103 11, said that late on the previous night he was parsing through Minerva-street, Chelsea, when he was attracted by groans, and on proceedingto a secluded spot from which they proceeded, found the defendant, sitting nearly double in a door way. He spoke to her, and she was insensible, and upon partially lifting her up, found an empty bottle in her lap, marked" laudanum." lie procured weft tame, and conveyed her first to a surgeon's in the neighbour hood, and subsequently to the hospital, where with proper treatment she slowly recovered. She admitted that eke bad taken laudanum, and she assigned as a reason for attempting to put an end to her existence that sbe had been seduced, and had been living with a man who bad represented himself to be single, but whom she after wards discovered to be a married man, with three children. She met him on the previous night, and being in very dis tressed eireurnatenees solicited someaasiatence, a wben he brutally struck her, and upon again soliciting aid , from him he gave her twopence, with which she purchased laudanum. She was remanded for a week. BOUTEIWAILK. Benjamin Bird, a stevedore, in the employ of Messrs. Silva and Phillips, wharfingers and shipping agents, ()oft's wharf, Tooley-street, was committed for trial for committing a disgraceful assault on Mrs. Elizabeth:White, in a railway carriage, on the North Kent Railway, while pas t i ng th roug h the Blackheath tunnel. COUNTRY SCHOOLS FIFTY ICF.ARS AGO.—The following amusing sketch is extracted from the Glasgow Mail: —" After leaving old Nanny' e, I went for a quarter to Mr. Strap, who practised the trade of a weaver, while he exercised the profession of a schoolmaster. The oat of my board was one-half boll of oatmeal, and my school-fees amounted to the sum of eighteenpence. It was expected that my aunt, who bad long resided in the city, would see to the Improvement of my manners, while Mr. Strap superintended my education. She instructed me to be sure and take off my bonnet when I went in, and not to say fat (anglia, what) when I did not hear, but what's tier scull, and not to call the muter Jamie Strap, but Master Strap. The school room was in an old-fashioned two-storied house, in the gable of which was the school-door. On approaching, I mold not help admiring it, and thinking to myself what • difference there was between this grand stone building and old Nanny's turf hut. We entered without ceremony, and I was introduced u a new scholar from the country. In the farther end of the room sat the master at his loom, and in front of him sat the scholars on forms, arranged the one behind the other. In another corner was his daughter, a stout red haired girl, hearing lessons and filling piens at the same time. The muter was a little wiry body, with a broad blue bonnet, which he always wore. He did not wear • coat, but bad a eleeved vest, long in the body, and striped across. Hu knee-breeks were of good corduroy, and beautiful rig and-fur blue eta-kings adorned his legs. At his right hand were two nails projecting from the wall, on which hung two whips, called the long whips and the short *chops. When he wished to punish those that were on the nearest form, be used the short wAsps; those on the other forma were corrected with the long wAsps. On • shelf were a number of dried rhubarb stalks—there were the school prizes—and very proud was the boy who, for diligence or good conduct, got one of these to make • tootin horn. As soon as my aunt left me, be called ms up to the aide of the loom to let him hear what I could do. When I had read a few verses, he said— ' Vara weal, my man; ye're no that ill a reader, but yer pronounsAiatAnn's no very guid.' I was then sent to my seat to make room for another. All the lessons were given individually in the use manner. The fear of the whips kept us busy in our meta. Correct pronunciation was what be most prided himself on. His leading principle was that all words should be pro nounced aa they are spelled. The Rev. Mr. Wh—n, of the Old Kirk, came one day to examine the school, and cor rected one of the boys for mispronouncing the the word through. 'The laddie's richt, sir,' said Mr. Strap, tbroo may do, but throch's the thing; it spells that, at any rate.' Ho was quite disgusted with the new-fangled mode of pro nouncing Israel and Capernaum. ' It's a great sin, he said, 'to chip the words o Scripture. !wale and Capirr nine dinna pond near sae weal as I.lzrasol and Capirstawns." FIRE AT MAIDSTONE.—About three o'clock yes terday morning a fire was discovered to have broken out in the premises of Mr. Tendell, Meseham-street, Maidstone. An alarm was given, and the fire was found to be rafing in the engine-room of Mr. Tendell's saw-mills. Adjoining the saw-mills wee • large timber-yard, and to this as well as to a malthouse in the rear of the premises, and to other neigh bouring buildings, the conflagration quickly spread. The flames rose high into the air. The barrack engine attended, as well as • number of soldier' who rendered efficient assist tance. and the fire was after some hours got under. The loss is estimated at 8,0001., only • small part of which is covered by insurance. Tne LATE FATAL FIRE IN BLSIIOPBOATE-STREET. —lroacitsr.—An inquest was held yesterday at the White Hart Tavern, Bishopagate, respecting the circumstances attending the death of Benjamin Anise), sged 37, who lost his life the day before in the fire at Devonshire House, Devon shire-square. Mr. Thomas Hodsell appeared on behalf of the insurance companies interested. In the course of the Inquiry it was elicits I that the basement was occupied by Mr. nailing, that the fire began in the basement, that there was a strong smell of turpentine daring the progress of the fire, that a two-pllon can smelling strongly of turpentine was found in the basement, and beside it • box containing felt and shavings. There wee a gas meter in that part of the premises, and it was on at full force during the fire.
