• THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 5, 1862, BANQUET AT THE ROYAL ACADEMY. On Saturday evening the President and members or the Royal Academy entertained a distinguished company at dinner ia their spit men* Trab/gar-equare, previous to _ . . the opeaing of the exhibition. The doors were opened at two o'clock, and soon after that hour the guests began to arrive, oocopying themselves till dinner was aononnoed in viewing the gems of British art which adorn the walls of the Academy. Sir CIIARLii EISTLAKI, the President of the Royal Aca demy. officiated as chairman. The cloth having been removed, The PRFAIDEN r rose, and, in • few words of respectful sympathy, propsed as the brat toast "The Health of her Majewty the Queen." The tout was drunk with all the honours, and followed by the National Anthem. The PRG•gDENT, in giving the next toast, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and the rest of the Royal Famil," said—Every society at its anniversary in this year bas, f or the Awn time, to orni! a revered name—• name which this institution, connected as it is with thi; roust ever hold in honour, and which cannot now be over in silence ; more especially when the opening i=se mod International Exhibition in England reminds us of the wisdom and perseverance which conducted the lint gnash enterprise of the kind to a successful termination, (Cheer.) We have to speak of the los of one who was a nalens friend and promoter of art—(hear, hear)—the enlightened adviser of its profenon—(hear, hear)—of one who, with the best right to be a severe critic, was ever ready to ex tend to them his sympathy and encouragement ; and who, with high aspira tion s for the future of art, took the warmest interest in the efforts and productions of hie own time. (Loud cheers.) Nay their Royal Highnesses whose health I have now the honour to propose inherit the kindly nature, the love of knowledge, and the public and private virtues of his Royal Rieman; the Prince Consort. (Chem-) Glee (four vacs)—" Oh, the Spring, the bountiful Spring I" - - - The Parunint—We are honoured on this .00casio.n.7rith the presence of an fflnairons foreign guest, his Royal High ness the Crown PriDoo of Prussia—(cheers)—who elorl► connected with the royal family of England, has a double claim to our moppet sod attentioa. (Cheers.) Elia royal li . ifhnesabas bees pleased to vials this oonotry as the pito meat of a l'timalaa Commission oe the 001:011.1 . 41 of the opening of the laternational Exhibition. We have the honour to offer him a most respectful and most cordial wel come, and I take thiicipportimut7 of congratulation hie royal bighocai on the sdenrablio specimens of art and industry which Prolate has furnished to that great Exhibition. (Cheers.) Those works must excite the generous emulation al the con tributon from other countries, all whom have done themselves honour i and we are thus led to feel that emit international rivalries, by stimulating invention sad is duatry, by facilitating the intercourse of nations, and by developing and enlarging their commercial resources, moat tend to promote the general love of peace. I give you " The Ilealthol kis Boyd Highness the Crown Prom a Prwwia." The toast was drank amid much cheering. His Royal Highseas the Prince of Namara, who was. loudly theered, _said—Bir Charism Reatiake, your Royal Highness, my lonia, and Fathom, I hope that the grati tude which I fed for the cordiality with which you have bees pleased to propose end receive my health will sot be measured by As manner in which I return thanks for it, as am sorry to say I fear I shall not be obit toe:emo my feelings as I should perhaps be able to do WWI 1 lower accustomed to the language of this dear country. cheerio.) I thank you, gnat of ell, for the way in whict a y l oa d have been kind enough to speak of my near relationship to the royal family of England (cheer.) ; nor can I on such an occasion omit referring to the km which this country has recently sustained—o km felt so intimately by your royal family and also by my own. (Cheers.) We have all heard from the president how that lon his been felt here, and lam happy to say that Ia my own country the same monumental feeling will always remain associated with the memory of that dear Prince who was takes so suddenly from ua (Chests.) It is Dot semesery for me to my bow happy lam to be able to be menet at this peat festival of peso,, and, at themes time, to homer the great under 4akisg which we owe to the manor mind of him I was so proud to regard as may father-ia-law. (Chests.) I have also, Six Charles, to thank you for the meaner is which you spoke just now of the state of art sad eeknos into v own country, end particularly of the article@ sent to the Great Interna tional Fahibition. lam happy to think, from the way in which that reference of the president was received, that you all appear to epee with him on that point—(Chearn— arid I hope I can say that the same feeling for English art is reciprocated by my country. (Cheers.) Perhaps I may be allowed to say, as I am proud to say, that the Princess Royal of year country is one of the first repreasnatives of English art in my country. (Meek cheering.) Returning thanks again for the Idea way in which I have been re ceived, I tan only add that I hope it will be a sew tie strengthening those warm sympathies I have always felt for this great country ; and, more than this, that the strong sympathy which always existed in my tows heart will in and the great fatherland of Germany, be more and more and for ever maintained. (Loud cheers.) The Paxawunv next gave " The Army and Navy, and the Volunteers," connecting with the army the name of hie royal highness the Commander of the Forces, with the navy the name of the First Lord of the Admiralty, and with the yolunteers that of Lord Eltho. (Cheers.) The toast was drunk with much cordiality. The Duke of ()AMMER= having briefly acknowledged the toast, added—l cannot sit down without expressing my strong appreciation of the noble sentiments we have just heard from the illustrious Prince on the other aide of the chair. (Loud cheers.) I believe I may my, without the slightest flattery to my illustrious relative, that the senti ments he has exp-sesed have been most acceptable to this distinguished commey—(cheer ) —and that they will be mostcordially received and echoed by this entire great coun try with which he is proud to be associated. (Loud cheers.) The Duke of Boynton, in the course of a short speech, said—l have observed in going round these rooms that there are Dot many pictures relating to the navy, and I believe that in future years it will be found more difficult still to immortallie the deeds of the Brinell navy in pictures. (Cheers, and a laugh.) How you are ever to pro duce pleasing pictures of vessels with no matte and no sails, low hulls, creeping along, mere black objects in the water, I know not— (Laughter and applause)—but I have no doubt the skill of the Royal Academy will get over that difficulty. I must say I look forward with no little interest sad plea sure to seeing these pictures immortalised io future exhibi tions. (Cheers and laughter.) I beg again to thank you for the honour you have done to the British navy. (Cheers.) Lord ELCHO returned thanks in the name of the Volun teer service. The PRICSIDYNT gave " The Health of the Noblemen and Gentlemen who this day honour the Academy with their presence." (Cheers. The taut was deceit with all the honours. The Loan CHARCELLOR was loudly cheered on rising to acknowledge the toast. He proposeed "The Health of the Pendent and Members of the Royal Academy." (Loud cheers.) The Patemeirr, after @sprain the thanks of th e Royal Academy, with some com plimentary remarks on the Lord Chancellor's speech, proposed the health of her 3.lajesty's ministers. The toast was drunk with loud cheers. Viscount PALMIER/WI, who was received with much cheering, rid,—Sir Charles Eastlake, your Royal High nor, my Lord s and gentlemen,—On the part of her Ma jesty's ministers I beg to return you moat cordial thaaks for the honour you have done a, sot only in inviting us to be members of this distinguished assembly, but also in pre paring as you have now been kind moues to do, our health. Its needless. I am sure, we should say her Majesty's minis ters feel the deepen interest in the promotion of the fire arts in this country. (Cheers.) It is no merit on our par is to entertain that feeling, because it is impossible that any public men charged with the conduct of the affairs of a great country should be insensible to the advantage arising from the promotion of the) fine arts. It is a pursuit which dignifies and ennobles both those who practise it and those who admire the productions of these by whom it is practised. (Cheers.) Like the quality of mercy, it is doubly blessed— is blessed in those who themselves display the genius they possess, and it enlarges the sphere of enjoyment on the part of the public, who are taught to naderstand, to value, and admire the works of genius—(cheers)—and I am sure we must all of us feel highly gratified, not merely by the display which these walls pow afford of the works of &With pint; but by the records of the same kind which are now exhi bited in that larger building—larger certainly, and perhaps better adapted for the purpose, than that in which we have DOW the honour to aseemble—(cheers)--an Exhibition in which, as his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge has well and in good English idiom expressed it, the artists of England hold their own. (Cheers.) It is needles, to say that the cultivation of the fine arta is a kind of cosmopo litan freemasonry ; it one as a bond of union between different nations. who are taught by rivalry in these arta a generous epirit of emulation, and also mutual and reciprocal admiration. (Cheers.) I. said that her Majesty's govern ment must netemarily entertain the strongest desire to encourage and promote the lite arts ; but I am aware that there is one charge to which we are liable, though I think there it a defence to be made against it. We may be said, in one respect, to be the enemies of the fine arts, for it is well known that them are no sub jects more inspiring, none that give greater scope to the development of creative genius than the event. of war. We have seen examples ; I need only remind you of that msg. nifioent work of Mr. Madise—(cheap)—which is cow adorn ing the walls of that buildin gr og which the great issues of peace and war ere perpetually (Cheers.) Yin are, therefore, so far, I admit, apparently the enemies of the fine arta, became it is the study, the °Nest, and the desire of her Majesty's government to avoid war end to maintain peace--(elieirs)--on far depriving the arts of soine:of thebeet tisliztruities of illustration. But we trust that past will yet .ford sufficient unexhousted sub. j7ctTior the creative genius of all living artiste. It must be membered, too, that " Peace has her victories as well war, " and that peace alio may afford subjects for the pe nc il an chisel of the artist quite ea inspiring and as snaohliog as any of the events that are mended in the annals of hostility. (Cheers.) I don't wish to detain you. but I men advert to two eireamstasess which am peculiar to our preterit is the einnumitenese which has been alluded t ms o si rrh Duke d Osaibridge —the premium, moody at our board of en of the most di Ainguished prh;cies that Europe een eas (theare)-- a pnnoe happily couseeted with the royal family of this canary by a union which I trust will be productive of happiness to all parties conoemed—(cheers)—a prince as illustrious 5040 ennobled by the sentiments you have baud from him as he is by the distinguished lineage from which he is sprung. (Cheers.) There is another ofreussatance marking this day, though of a different character, which was adverted to by Bir Charles &a kin, the President, in cue of the toasts he had to propose. We have lost one of the most distinguished patrons of the be arts in this country. That eye, which was accustomed with discriminating power to perceive merit where other parties would not have found it, to follow out the work sap of genius in all their details—that eye is now chair'. Those lips which need with the utmost judgment to award praise to the suiressful efforts of genius, to give encourage ment to struggling talent not yet brought into the full blase of fame—those lips are now closed for ever ; and that band which used to dispense largely encouragement to art in all its branches is now lifeless and cold. That is • melancholy reflection which it might not, perhaps, have been seemly for me to introduce on the present occasion, but the manner in which the President adverted to the loss sustained mace me feel that that loss will be felt by the artists of this country as deeply, per manently and sincerely as by an y . other clan of her lEl'4C:subject. (Cheese.) I beg again, on the part of my and myself, return you our best thanks for e to the honour you have done us, and to assure you that we feel highly gratified for having been permitted to amid on this moron. (Loud cheers.) The Parethmer proposed, firms to the International Exhibition, and the health of her Majesty's Commissioners." (Loud cheers.) _ Earl Gnaw/tux, who was loudly cheered, said—Sir Charles Eastlake, your Royal Highnesses, my lords and gentlemen—l cannot forget that more than ten years ago I had the honour hers of responding to a similar toast. I then Mood as the unworthy representative of that great Priam to whom 'you have alluded, and whore merits have been so well described by Lord Palmerston, sad, palace, even more strikingly . by the illustrious Prince in • speech remarkable for its simple and truthful slavering', which, by a touch of feeling concerning one of whom this country is proud, went directly to all our hearts. (Cheers.) It would be superfluous to say, in answer to your ripped, Sir Charlie, the immense facility we have received in our work from the previous labours of the Prince Consort. (Cheers.) I now speak in the name of th e oommierioners, whose only ambition it was to make this enterprise not altogether unworthy of the one that preceded it, and of thorn I trust which will follow. The Lord Chancellor spoke of the pride which be felt on this ocea sion in showing these walls to foreigners; but I cannot doubt that he alluded morn to the contents than to the building which contains those beautiful pictures. (Cheers.) Lord Palmerston, with that statesmanlike discretion which characterises him, without distinctly committing himself, =to understand that a larger sad more commodious might be desirable. I remember some years &go— nad the fact is more impreared on my memory from itsbeiog an instance of the singularly harmonious effect which three meetings of the Royal Academy has in bringing together of all political parties—certain pledges were made persons distinguished members of opposite politics, when I do not clearly remember whether it was Lord John Russell, now Earl Russell, who promised that Mr. Disraeli.should iit for his picture, or whether it was Mr. Disraeli who pro mised that Lord John should sit for his. (Chrism sods laugh.) In other case the pledge has been fully met, and we have had the pleasure of seeing those historical features satisfee torlly represented on these walls before being _taansaillited to poterity to bold that place in history to whirl' they we so well entitled. (Cheers.) Another pledge was made by both—that they were to provide • mach more handsome and suitable building—fa }nimbi—but obstacles seem to have oc curred, and somehow here we are enjoying our intellectual hest with these beautiful pictures mound us, in the very same room as ten years ago. (Cheers.) If, there fore, even when the great political partis . unite, there impairs to be so much difficulty in pr.o siding • picture gallery, I think my brother commis sioners have some little claim to your consideration for having, by the aid of artistic advice, the ingenuity of our architect, and the unexampled energy al our contractors, been able to in one short year the erection of a building which, frost what has been mid to-sight, seems not to be deemed unfitted to exhibit the glories of the • British School of Art, and offer due hospitality to those • tmenues of art which distinguished foreigners have been goed enough to bring to us. (Cheers.) Speaking witlate three • walla, it is impossible for me to forget the service we have , derived from you as President of the Royal Academy, the • remeuragemeut, and particularly the excellent practical ad _ vies us. (Ches'is.) Bt7lless can 1 forget that the gentleman I ventured, from my personal knowledge of , him, to nionimendl to ay brother colleagues as the fittest , person to take the whole responsibility of the selection of pictures—a most difficult and invidious task—was a distils- 1 guished member of the Royal Anidemy—(cheers) ;—and that when he required assisteace in the still more di ffi cult matter of hanging them, it woe to a Royal Academician we ' applied to aid him in that work, which is considered by the most competent persons to have been very satisfactorily done. (Cheers.) There was one role which, in • spirit of fairness to other exhibitions, we laid down, which wee that we would not exhibit any picture which had not been pievionsly exhibited. This was somewhat of a self denying ordinance. I cannot pretend that Ido not feel regret at our not having oe our walls some of the pictures which I see around me • but in one way a great advantage was derived from the f;ct, as it will give foreigners now visiting us, and who will come in myriscis, I believe, in the eourse of the year, an opportunity by comparison with other annual exhi bitions, of judging that our gallery in Cromwell-road na tant a genuine reorientation of the merits of the British school. (Cheers.) It is almost presumptuous for me to anticipate the pleasure, and I might add the surprise, with which foreign!, will sae, not only the pictures of our Ho gan*, our Reynoldses, our Cainsborouglis, our Wilson, our Turners, and our Ettys, but also the worts of these greet artists whom I cannot name, because they are nearly all here present to-day ; but of whose reputation the nation is justly proud, and on whom the great responsibility lies of maintaining and increasing, if poerible, the character which British art now enjoys. (Cheers.) I may speak of the pleasure which we who are assembled here will derive from having opportunities of seeing the works of Corne lius, Oven**, Raubach, and ]fensel, the representatives of that fatherland of which the Crown Prince spoke with such just praise —(cheers)—the works al great French artiste, whose names are well known tom ; and your en joyment of the excellence of the Belgian department will he ineremed by the recollection of the cordial and sr tistie hospitality which on a recent occasion the Belgian artists afforded to their brother artists of this oountry. (Cheers.) On the other hand, you will rccogniee with satin faction the revival of art, as of other things, in the land of Murillo and Velasquez. Yon will perceive great merit in the works of several of the northern countries of Russia and Sweden. To Italy next we owe admiration. I have no doubt there are many here present who from a feeling of friendebip will be glad to see holding a central position a beautiful landscape by the accomplished orator, the distin guished man of letters, and able painter, M. d'Aviglio. (Cheers.) I can only, in again returning thanks for the honour you have done to us, ay that I can conceive no greater reward than that ari intellectual. oritfeal, and artis tic audience like the present should be of opinion that we have, eves in the slightest degree, promoted that friendly rivalry in art which you, Sr, described with so much elo qquaeeuoeess as likely to produce such excellent effects on the Ovilisation of mankind. (Hear, hear.) The Parnmawr in proposing the toast, "Prosperity to the City of Lon don and the Health of the Right Hoe. the Lord Mayor," observed that this was the second year of his lordship's official labours—a circumstance which, as the • result of the universal satisfaction he had given, must be nettled as a peculiarly hououraba distinction. The LORD MAYOR returned thanks. The Puterue.sr then proposed, es the last tout, "The Interests of Literature, " connecting it with the health of Mr. Charles Dickens. (Cheers.) Mr. C. Diann—lt is one of the privileges of literature to speak from the walls of this room rather then from the floor, and to find expression here in the great work of paint ing and sculpture rather than in spoken words. (Cheers.) From these walls, even in our own times Shakwear, Moli&e. Le Sege. Cervantes , Goldsmith, Sterne, Fielding , Smollett, Defoe, • host of illustrious writers has been so eloquent in the masterpieces of members of this Academy, that one poor writer of fiction left to his own lip may well find nothing to say in this otherwise difficult trek easiimed to him. However, he finds consolation in this, that bin own art is inseparable from the art of his enter tainers, that the great magic circle of the arta is impossible to be broken, and that here at least "him foot Si on bin native heath," even though his name is not by any means Macgregor. (Loud cheers and laughter.) In the name of many distinguished gentlemen, present and absent, foreign and native, I have to thank you for your remembrance of the sister art, though I beg to say on behalf of those whom I represent, that we cannot by any restos hold that the present President of the Royal Aca demy is at all disinterested in this proposal to do honour to literature, seeing that he himself is so near akin to in, (Cheers.) We scarcely ever open any book with • higher interest and pleasure than we open this great animal volume, of which the leaves are now spread before this company—(cheers)—and we certainly never open a book to which we flood so graceful and appropriate a preface as that which is always delivered from the red chair which you, Sir Charlie, occupy. (Loud cheers.) If might have changed the afore, supposing noble lords and right bon. gentlemen to have remained, I might even in conclusion have gone so far as to say that L think we receive the annual budget of the President of the Royal Academy with almost as much interest as we receive the animal budget of the Chancellor of the Exchequer—(ebeers)—having in addition the pleasant consideration that it is not attended with those terrific consequences which we cannot by any strength of imagination separate from the latter production. (Cheers.) The company then retired to the middle room. where tea and coffee were served, after which the distinguished smut blue broke up. , The dinner, woes, he., were supplied by Messrs. Wallis, of St. James's-street. Mews. Land, Baxter, W. Cummings, Young, Winn, and W. H. Weiss, were the vocalists, Ma.

TO TIM =TOT OP TM. ICITTMUL leis,—The excitement consequent on tbe knocking about of Old Calabar invests the forthcoming race for the Two Thousand Guineas with more than ordinary interest, and the misting altogether is one of the greatest importance to the Derby. Hondas the many candidates for it that will meet in the grest event, there are eogagementi made for Duke Rollo and St. Alexis, and • fair opportunity will he afforded of judging whether the latter is entitled to the position occupied in the Derby since the Duke's recent triumph. The twenty-nine events in the programme yet to be completed will only create interest for the time being, and on them depends how the five days are to be spun out, for only two or three of the eight matches are between animals of any account ; and after the Two Thousand, Two-yr-old Mate, One Thousand, and Newmarket Stakes are taken away, the eighteen public race dosed do not present many remarkable features. Still, the fifty-four notate peoposea (not includ ing one reduced already to • walk over) will give enough sport to prevent eves the off days becoming slow, however poor may be the list for Monday. There is • 8.. M.

Sweepstakes which King of Hearts and Matador may secure respectively, cor priis alll can touch upon in Tuesday's list besides the Two Thousand Guineas stakes, and this promises to attract the following to the pad :—Alvediston (ridden by Pordham), The Marquis (Ashmall), Caterer (Challcuer), Nottingham (Britton), Win re (Wells), a oolt by Stockwell, out of a mare by Orlando—Brown Bess (Aklcroft), the Claris' colt (Bullock), Leeching Stoc z k ict ßo i2 g a m igh ), Beckenham (Bataan), Instruotor (Daley or Bell Hubert (J.

The latter is mid to pilot the way for Caterer, and the Clarissa and Stockwell colts only represent one intense, Exchequer end Balder being in the same position. Them may be one or two others in the field, but the above comprise all I can depend upon, and some of their owners may alter their minds before the day, and keep them at home. Of the above-mentioned only Instructor and Balder failed to show as 2-yr-olds, the Stockwell cold baring aooompiwbed a walk over ; and this sawn we have seen z La IE ug hung Stock, Beckenham, Old Calabar, Balder Cons, Brighton, and Ounbrook in nabbed; can be said to have diagramed himself, GT 'di et e. he bale named drays bed too greet • distant. to travel, sad Hadar I woe very backward when he ran with Duke Rollo in the Newmarket Biennial, Costa, however, his been defeated by both Leigh* Stock and Beckenham, to which must be added Wingrave, Old Calabar, and Lord Coventry's Champion, for the best we have seen this year, although it is doubtful whether dine:baton will not suit the latter gentleman better than either of his own. Laughing Stock and Beckenham both exhibited the most sterling qualities in their inrounten, and I do not think they lit to be measured through the animals they bad a ouch difficulty in besting, as both made waiting _isms, and might have told a very different tale had t "ems through" from end to end.

Old Canner has receded in the market at a most alarming rate, and even now no one seems capable of assigning the real owns, his owner being am pletely in the dark on Saturday whether anything wee wrens, although the layers drove him to 40 to 1.

It is the general opinion now be will not run ; but meths may wear a very different complexion in the coarse of four and twenty-hours, and if he should be sent to the poet it would not surprin me to see him win. Caterer is Dot at all liked lately, and the foremoet of the favourites are the Mar quis, Alvediston, andW ingrave, of which, ea will be seen by the above handicap, I have • slight preference for the Marquis, and if he cannot win, the event may fall to quite ea out sider, Lord Glasgow's representative, perhaps.

Among the best fillies last year were Bertha and Imperstrice, and I doubt whether the former was not the best, this pair being shout good enough to beat the field, as they are in splendid form. The Two Year Old Plate is a dark affair completely, although we might hear the crack of a Revolver that has not been primed sufficiently to go off in any of his spring engagements as Tot. The 100 Soya Sweepstakes will be walked off with by Owls, and both Confidence and Duke Rollo ought to win their matches, the latter having such a good horse to meet in the Clarissa colt that if he can win tolerably easily, the Newmarket Stakes will be no trouble to him on Friday, when St. Alexis leas to meet another of Lord Glasgow's colts, by Barbstua out of Brown Bees, whom he ought to find no difficulty in beating.

The dries of the courts on the Ist May for the par rem of the Exhibition gave rise to • curious state of things fa this case. The defendant was remitted some time dun for want of an answer. Under an act (blown as Sir Ed: ward &lOW, act) he was entitled at the expiration of 30 days to be breed np on the plaintiffie notion on habeas sorpes to the bar of the ooert in order to the further with his car, the statute providing, in favour of the a liberty the subject, that I. default of • plaintiff omitting to take the aroressry step the imprisoned defendant should be set at liberty.

Sittings in Banoo.—(Bolas Fustier Willis and Bytes.) LUNT O. FAlL—sal 0111? OF PILACTICIL Mr. Coleridge said that this cue was tried helots Mr. Justice Blackburn at Devise., and hie losdeldp stayed me cation until the bth day of teen, so se to suable a motion for a new trial to be ma& within the usual four dam ; but the endorsement upon Mr. Kingdon's brief was mistaken fur the fifteenth day of term, and therefore the motion we. not mode within the usual time. Xt. Justice Willem maid that this* was a double mistake, for even if execution had been stayed until the fifteenth day of term, that would not have enlarged the time for moving beyond the first four dam. Mr. Justice Byke—The judge had no power to enlarge the time f moving. Kr. Co leridge submitted that the court had power to relax its own rules. Mr. Justice Bytes observed that hie experience extended tack for an unpleasant number of years, bat he never knew the rule relaxed. Mr. Coleridge said he should have thought that the same power which made the rules would relax them when injury was sustained in consequence of a bona fide mistake. Mr. Justice Willa inquired what the present motion was for. Mr. Coleridge—For a new trial upon the ground that the damages were moss/ire. It was an accident case against a trustee of some property, and 1,2001. was given as damages. Mr. Justice Willie recollected one case in which the motion was allowed to be made after the four days bad ex pired, but in that instance the matter was mentioned within the four days, though the affidavits were not then ready, and the ground of motion went to the root of the proceed inp, for it was said that there was a conspiracy to set up a fictitious muss of action. Mr. Coleridge submitted, upon the authority of " Arch bold," that where a party had been milled the court would grant him relief. Mr. Justice Willes—All we can do for you is to say that you may mention the case again when the court is full, but as the court is at present constituted, we =Dot yield to this innovation. Some other motions were heard, and one or two amain the new trial paper were then celled on, but in the absence of the other two judges it was found impossible to get on with the business, and their lordships consequently rose at an early hour. Sittings at Nisi Prim in London—(Before Mr. Justice Williams and a Common Jury.) COUNSZL AND ATTORNIT. In the course of the day a ems was called on in which the plaintiff claimed to recover 211. 17s. for work done as an accountant in reference to the estate of a lunatic, and the question was whether the defendant, the gentleman who I had been employed as solicitor in the wetter, was person ally liable for the amount ; but some difficulty was experi enced in consequence of the plaintiff's counsel not being in attendance. Mr. M. Chambers, the defendant's counsel, proposed that without any speeches being made his lordship should hear what the witnesses had to say, and should himself deter mime the matter without the assistance of • jury, and and this serangement having bees acceded to, the plaintiff his dr* were examined by his lordship and crom-examined by Mr. Chambers. Subsequently the defendant was called to give hie version of the affair. Mr. Justice Williams, however, said that he foresaw this difficulty, that if Mr. Chambers examined his client the I plaintiff's attorney would ask to cross-examine him, and this could not he allowed without establishing a precedent Wilily prejudicial to the bar. He could not permit it to be said that because counsel was not there the attorney should take his place. He had himself examined the plaintiff's witnesses, but it was impossible that he could cross-examine these for the defendant. Under theme cimunstaasse acme dimension took place which resulted in as errangement that the further hearing should take place on Tuesday mast, when counsel on both sides would be present.

The prisoner, who pretended to cry, said he was guilty, and he had committed the robbery because his wife and family were starving. He was a good workman, and could prove that he was an honest man, and kept his family in a respectable manner. The case was put beck for begonia, and on Saturday last, just before the closing of the court it was stated that the prisoner wu a very bed man, and seat his children into the streets to beg and steal. Mr. IYEyncourt remarked that the prisoner was • very bad fellow, and he should not be doing hie duty if he did sot send him for the full term of imprisonment, viz., six months' hard labour in the House of Correction. On the occasion of the prisoner being brought to the I court he was taken by the police into the chew-man, there to wait until the magistrate should take his seat. Whilet the constable, who wasstanding within three yarded the prisoner, was speaking to one of the office!' of the court, the prisoner stealthily opened the court door and made hie escape, but was fortunately apprehended before he had got clear of the purlieus of the court. On Saturday between five and mix the prisoner was ailed out of his cell by Tumor, the gaoler, for the purpose of handing him to the paha to convey him in the van to the House of Correction. He walked a short distance toenails the van, when he suddenly turned round, ran through the gaoler's roam, and made his amps into the street, shutting an tie doors after him.
