It is understood that Lord Chelmsford, the present Lord Chancellor, intends to confer the dignity of Queen's Counsel upon the following members of the oom low* law bar :—Sir George Honyman Mr. Charles Pollock, Mr. Thos. Jones, Mr. Hannan , Quin, Mr. Prentice, and several other gentlemen, whose 'tending and practice entitle them to this rank. Some of these barristers h a d many months ago applied for milk to the late Lord Chancellor. COURT OF ADMIRALTY. (Before the Right Hon. Dr. Lushington.) TDB BANDA AND KHUFU CARL Dr. Lushington sat for motions in chambers and in court, and disposed of a number. In the Banda and Kirwee prize case the claims of costa wilt be considered by the Registrar (Mr. Rolbery) in a few days. According to the terms of the order when judgment was pronounced, the bills of costs were not to be taxed, but to be submitted to the Registrar, and a sum to be allowed out of the booty. The costs are expected to amount to a very large sum, probably exceeding 50,000/. After the expenses are paid the prize money captured in 1858 will then, it is antici pated, be distributed without any further delay among those declared entitled to share, namely :—Rir George Whitlock and his army, Lord Clyde and his staff, and also Colonel Keating's. The booty, independent of intercat, is about 450,0001. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE RIR CHARLES MICE ♦ND CO. Mr. Lmklater applied on behalf of the petitioning creditors in this case for • further stay of proceedings in bankruptcy pending the execution and registration of a deed of arrangement now in course of signature. It wee mentioned that the requisite assents were expected shortly to be obtained to the deed. Mr. Lawrence appeared for the trustees under the deed. His Honour panted the application. IN RI COLLINS.-APPLICATION ROI !ELIAS/. The bankrupt, a boot and shoemaker, of Cornbrook, Hacks, applied for his release from custody under some what peculiar circumstances. A day had been appointed for his last examination but he bad failed to attend ; the sitting was adjourned sine the, and protection was refused. He had subsequently been arrested, and had been in prison ever since. Mr. Denny, in support of the application, relied on an affidavit of the bankrupt, which set forth that he had missed the train for the morning of the sitting, and on arriving in court a few minutes after it was over found that his protection had been withheld. He had now been in prison upwards of five weeks. Mr. R. Griffith., for the detaining creditor, took the objection that the court had no juriiction, in support of which be referred to the decision in the case of Kimberley. His Honour said that if the question had been simply the same as in the use of exparte Kimberley, the court would not have had jurisdiction. As it was, the bankrupt bad pleaded to the action, and the creditor had obtained judgment against him. It was not a case in which the court would interfere to grant the release, but would leave the bankrupt to obtain such redress as he could from the court, out of which the process had issued ; or he might take steps to pass his examination and obtain his order of discharge, and, following upon that, his order of re lease. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) (Before the Recorder.) SINGULAR CHARGE OF FRAUD. Rithord Omens, Potts, a gentlemanly-looking man, who was stated to have been formerly an officer In the army, surrendered to take his trial upon an indictment which charged him with having unlaw fully obtained from Willisun Gower Brakapear, a valuable security, to wit, an acceptance to a bill exchange for MOI., with intent to defraud. In other counts of the indictment the form of the charge was va ri e d . . . Serjeant Ballantrne was specially retained with Mr. Sleigh to conduct the prosecution. Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C. was also specially retained with Mr. Metcalfe for the defence. The circumstances of the mae were rather extraordinary. The proseeutor, it appeared, was a young man, an officer in the 31st Regiment, stationed at Aldershott, and in the month of November, la/15, he received a letter signed "J. Ormond," and which no doubt emanated from the prisoner, stating that as a retired officer in the army, he was well acquainted with the wants of gentlemen in their position, and offering to lend money on personal security ; And adding, that if the prosecutor would honour him with his confidence he might rely upon the moat inviolable secrecy being preserved. In conse quence of receiving this letter he wrote to the prisoner, and said he should be glad to obtain a l o an, and the result of the negotiation between them was that the prose cutor received a bill for 2001. from the prisoner, which he accepted, and sent back to him. Finding that he could not obtain any money for the bill, he again called upon the prisoner, and asked hint what tail become of the bill, and he said that it was perfectly safe, and that he should receive the amount in a short time. It appeared that the prosecutor afterwards was induced to give the prisoner two other bills for 100/. each, but all the money he received wits 00C, and the result of the transaction was that the prosecutor never received a single farthing for the 300/. bill, and he was at the present time being sued upon it by some person who represented himself to be a bona bile holder of the instrument for value. In order to sub stitute the allegation contained in the indictment that the prisoner hail falsely represented that he was in a position to advance money to the prosecutor upon his personal security, it was stated that the prisoner had been three times insolvent and had not maid any dividend within the last few years ; that he had, after leaving the army, gone by several different names and occupied a good many dd. ferentpositions, among which was that of an omnibus pro prietor, and that none of his occupations appeared to have turned out very successful. It was also stated that only recently before the transaction took place the prisoner had gone away from one of his residences, without paying a number of tradesmen to whom lie was indebted. The prosecutor was cross-examined by Mr. Chambers at considerable length, and it appeared that he hail been in the army since the year 11011, and that during the period he had raised and endeavoured to raise money through a variety of channels, and had paid very high interest for the a c commodation. He also said that if be had obtained the money, it would havebeen perfect immaterial to bin, from what source the money was derive d. He denied that the prisoner wrote to him on the 15th of November stating that in consequence of his connexion with certain parties he was unable to find any one who would touch his paper upon any terms, but he admitted that something was said, but the WO/. bill being kept as collateral security fora 100/. bill, he would procure the latter bill to be dis counted. He said that he did, about this time, send the prisoner a bill for 1001. and received 50/. in bank notes in return. The defence that was set up for the prisoner was that he had acted with perfect bona fides in the trans anion and that he had endeavoured to procure the discount of the 200/. hill but was unable to do so. It was also said that with the con currence and consent of the prosecutor, the bill had boen placed as collateral security in the hands of a person named Lyons, who had discounted two 100/. bills that had been given by the prosecutor, and that all the benefit that had been derived by the prisoner from the proceeding was a sum of 11., which was given to him by Lyons. (The trial was proceeding when we went to press.] (Before Thomas Chambers, Enl. , Common-Serjeant.) A JUTS:PILE FOBGEIL Hear! , Barna, an intelligent-looking boy. aged only 14 years, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging hint with forging and uttering a cheque for the payment of ISt., with intent to defraud Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Co., the beakers. The prisoner also pleaded guilty to a second in dictment for forging and uttering a cheque for the payment of 4/. with intent to defraud. Mr. Poland appeared for the prosecution, and 'Uteri that the prisoner had been in the employment as office boy of Mewrv. Phillips, of London-street, Fenchurch-street, mer chantv : and while so employed he contrived to abstract several blank cheques, one of which be filled up and forged his employers' names, and obtained the cash at the hankers. This was on the lienh of June last. Prior to this the prisoner had been in the ottice of Mr. Warren, the City ndent of the .Vornine Post newspaper, but bad re r e ' n e tcharged. After leaving he came to the office be fore the usual hour in the morning, and was met on the maim:se leaving the premises by Mr. Warren's clerk, to whom he presented a letter, which purported to be from the Prisoner's mother, a nd which stated that she had Purchased some Console, and was about to call to °omit him as to whist she should do in the Matter. This was evidently an artful trick on the part of the prisoner, and to afford an excuse for unrlng been in the office of Mr. Warren, where he had no SRIof business, but it was clear he had powseseed himself of four blank cheques, one of which he tilled up for 4/. and forged Mr. Warren's name to it. He then presente d the cheque at Messrs. Frith's, the bankers, and when taken the other cheques were found upon him. The Common Serjeant sentenced the prisoner to nine months' impriaorunent in the House of Correction, and thence sent to a reformatory for four years.

Matthew (hosier, an alleged lunatic, was brought before Bar Thomas Henry, the chief mefiatr•te, on the applica tion of Dr. Rogers, the medical oof#ficer of the Strand union, for an order to remove him to an asylu m. Dr. Rogers observed that this was one of • elms of awes in which he was frequently embarrassed by the want at proper information. A lunatic or alleged lunatic was brought to the workhouse gate by • constable, who banded in with him a note from the divisional stir goon, recommending his examination, as he appeared to be of unsound mind. The constable then walked away without giving any further information as to the circum stances under which the person had been brought to the station. Many !people seemed to suppose that a medical man, on the first view of a patient intuitively perceived everything that was the matter with mind and body, but he (Dr. Rogers) could assure them that he had no such miraculous instinct. It was fre quently almost impossible, without some clue to the nature of a patient's illusion to discover that he was of 'mound mind at all—a fact which some lunatics are very skilful in ceneealing. On a recent occasion • man was brought to the workhouse in this way, and after a long conversation, he (Dr. Rogers) was unable to discover any illusion. After a renewed examination on the following day lie (Dr. Rogers) came to the conclusion that the man was of sound mind, and was about to discharge him, and had left the ward to give orders to that effect, when thrown off his guard by his apparent success he made some absurd remarks to the I ward master. The latter called him (Dr. Rogers) back and I told him what the man had said. With this clue to the na ture of the mania, which the patient had concealed for 48 hours, he (Dr. Rogers) discovered that he was a most ferocious and dangerous madman. The present was not so extreme a ease ; still the constable, though he was the same officer who had taken the patient to the station-house, gave no information as to the circumstances. (who ;ttended as acting inspector), said the prisoner was brought to the station, on suspicion of felony, but the constable who charged him, and the in tor who received the charge , were both absent now on duty. Sir Thomas Henry said that In future the officer who knew most of the circumstances must Fe to the workhouse, and give every information as to the circumstances. Mr. Rogers then stated the result of his own examina tion of the patient, from which, and from the man's own replies to the court, his insanity became painfully ap parent. Sir Thomas Henry granted the order. WOKS H IP-STRERT. FATHER • IND CHILD. —A PAINFUL NCZNIL _ _ Eliza Stone, 16, good looking and well-dressed, was charged with robbing her father, a greengrocer, in the Hackney-road. Mr. Kingsmill (clerk)—Do you charge your daughter with robbing you? Father—l do sir, of a flannel petticoat. She lives with us, and yesterday my wife told me that she had seen her go out as she believed with something concealed about her. When she came home I asked her if she had any money, and she said no. I found in her pocket threehalfpence and this pawnbroker's ticket for the petti- coat. It is a most painful thing, sir, to bring my child here for thieving; and of course it is not the value of the article, but what to do with her we do not know. She goes in and out of her home when she likes, and takes with her what she pleames. We have been going backwards in our business for the last eighteen weeks, and no wonder, for daily and hourly she takes something. Once before I was compelled to bring her before your worship, and you then cautioned her so seriously, and she seemed so penitent, that I begged her off, but the next day she taunted her mother, and has since behaved as bad as ever. It is a most heartrending matter (wiping his eyes). The prisoner again appeared penitent, a nd M r . Ellison ordered her to be remanded for a week. She imuiediately gave way to a paroxysm of grief, and her mother, standing in the body of the court, forced her way to the rails at the aide, dung her arms round her neck, kissed her continually, and exclaimed, "Re better, oh be better." It appeared as though they would not separate, and the gaoler w.u, compelled to use force to effect it. TIIAMIN. CHASIR AND CAPTIIIIC or A FWRGLAR. Gomm Williams, aged 24, and described as a dock labourer, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with atte:npting to commit a burglary at the house of Mr. John Gladen, of No. 49, Thames-street, Poplar, tank-maker. This morning, at a quarter past 2 o'clock, Mr. (; laden was awoke by the breaking of glass, and he got out of bed and found a pane in the front parlour broken. The shutters were not closed. The window was fastened. Mr. Gladen waited a few minutes, and listened. He looked into the street, and saw the prisoner and another man cross the roadway, and look up at the house. One of them then unfastened the amp ur catch of the window, and was about to open it and enter the house which Mr. (iladen opened the door and ran after them. One of them soon got away and disappeared. The prisoner was pursued a considerable distance, and Mr. George Clark, of No. 211, Davis-terrace. Poplar-road, hearing a cry of " Stop thief," pursued the pri.uner and his companion. The prisoner after a long run jumped over a wall into a yard, and came back over the wall. He was thou secured, and delivered to the care of William Sorrell, No. 110 K, who found sonic lucifer matches on the footpath under Mr. Gladen's window. The prisoner, who made no defence, was committed for trial. THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 10, 1866. COLONIAL 00' WANDSWORTH. A VIOLENT TEMPER.—IMPitImoNMENT WITRIIET A FINE. Martha Boyd, living near the Fox and Grapes, 'Wim bledon. appeared before Mr. Ingham to answer a sum mons charging her with committing a serious assault upon Mien Howes, who came into court with her eyes black ened. The defendant having pleaded guilty, the complainant, who was represented by Mr. Wilson, was called upon to state her case shortly. It appeared iet there had been a dispute between the two women with reference to en untruthful statement made by the defendant against the complainant's daughter. The complainant went to the defendant on the 2nd inst. for an explanation, when the latter took a kettle full of water from the fire-place and threw it at the former. The complainant was struck violently on the face, both her eyes were blackened, and her clothes were saturated with water. The defence was that the complainant would not go away when she was requested. In the heat of passion the defendant got off her chair and threw the kettle at her. The defendant denied that the kettle contained boiling water. The complainant said there was a fire in the grate, and the water smoked after it touched the ground. She, how ever. did not feel scalded. Ellen Boyd, the defendant's daughter, who appeared to be in a sickly state of health, was called, and sobbed loudly while giving her evidence. She said her mother told theoomplainant to go away twioc. She refused, and her mother said she would make her go away. Her mother had a violent temper, and she threw the kettle at the complainant. Mr. Inirham, after requesting the witness to retire, told the defendant he was very sorry for her daughter. but he could not allow such an outrage to pass without pu nishment. The defendant then said the complainant's daughter had been keeping company with a young man. After he was gone she took up with another young man, and she (the defendant) expressed surprise after so much profession of love for the other. Mr. Ingham—Twentyonc days' imprisonment,with hard labour. Defendant (looking at the complainant)—l hope she is satisfied. A remarkable occurrence took place yesterday morning at Wimbledon. At breakfast time, in the re. freshment department, a loud cry for a doctor was raised, and surgeon-Major Wyatt, of the Guards, who happened to he passing at the time, went in and found one of the assistants lying on the floor, already black in the face, and with a very few seconds of life remaining if a belp were not promptly administered. The man had been in the act of swallowing when seized with a fit, and a large morsel of bread had stuck fast in the windpipe. There was no time to send for surgical appliances, so the doctor put in his fingers, and with them removed the fragment that was causing suffocation, but the moment this was done the patient, who all the while was utterly unconscious, closed his teeth with a spasmodic jerk, biting the fingers of the doctor nearly to the bone. The men bad recovered sufficiently in the afternoon to call and thank Dr. Wyatt for his timely aid, but the latter retains a souvenir anything but agreeable of the oc currence. The inauguration of the opening of the Hamp shire and Isle of Wight Loan Exhibition at Southampton will be celebrated on the 17th inst. by a grand ceremony, consisting chiefly of a selection di sacred music performed by a choir of 200 singers. The exhibition will contain up wards of 2,000 works of art, modern and antique curiosi ties, and specimens of useful and beautiful manufactures of the southern counties of England, the value of which is estimated at a quarter of a million sterling. The Queen, as an inhabitant of the Isle of Wight, has contributed a number of valuable works of art. The whole of the Hartley Institution in the above•named town, together with a contiguous edifice erected at an expense of nearly 1,000/., will form the exhibition building. The Hon. W. Cowper, who succeeded the late Lord Palmerston as President of the South of England Literary Institution, will preside at the inauguration ceremony, assisted by the nobility and gentry of the county. Railway trains will run to and from Southampton on the day of inaugura tion, and there will be grand musical performances every week in the exhibition building. The exhibition will re. main open neatly three months. SHARE LISTS.-(THIS DAY.) 0111 o'CLooK.

A ROMAN CATHOLIC BI`IHOP ON SABBATH OP -.ERVANCE.—The Bishop of Liverpool laid the founda tion stone of a new Roman catholic church at Ihirrow-in- Furness on Sunday, and delivered a long address upon the occasion. In the came of it he alluded to the day which had been selected for the ceremony. " There will be many,” said his lordship, " who will disapprove of such a ceremony as that you have witnessed being performed on this day ; but I have endeavoured to show you that we are not bound by Jewish laws end prescriptions, and that when the day was changed front Saturday to Sunday su also was the manner changed, and, therefore, I am an advocate— ay, even on the Sabbath day—on this day which is holy unto the Lord—for the people enjoying themselves with rational amusement after they have adored and ful filled their service unto God—to Him as our creator, ruler, and preserver, in whose hands are our lives, and who watches over us day and night. All homage is due unto God, but after that service then I hold it lawful that mar should enjoy himself by honest recreation ; and instead of being driven stealthily to carouse in a public-house, instead of being compelled to sit at home, brooding, perhaps, over some rice, 1 would rather see our manly young people gathering together and going forth to practice with their rifles even on this day ; and I would like to see our cricket clubs at work, and our athletic youths strengthening themselves and recruiting them selves from the fatigue of the week by playing at football and other athletic sports. These things do not break the law of God any more than the smoke which, going into a man, defiles him. We have, therefore, no sympathy in any way or manner with the Jewish observ ance of the Sabbath ; and consequently we have selected this day is order to perform this holy rite." The site of the church is given by the Earl of Devcashire. The build ing, which is to seat 700 persons, is to cost 4,000 f. ma ind ibo 4 W bat est till Ore LW' At ble•
