The School of Arms of the London Volunteer Mille Brigid* having terminated its winter seerioc, the occasion was celebrated yesterday evening with as smelt et arms at the Coal Exchange, Thames street in which the proleimors and pupils of the school entertained a large audience of their friends with a serial of specimens of their proficiency in the various exercises. There was some very brilliant fencing, the practice of Captain Chapman aid Corporal Meyer St. John being specially commendable, bad also some excelleutsword a•dbnyonet exercise, in which the comparative merits of the two weapons wore admirably developed by Lieutenant Cuthbert, Mr. Fred, Ser. geant Welker, and Mr. Strut. Eut what amused the audience more than anything else were the sets to with the gloves, in which the sturdy volunteers belaboured each other with that hearty good will wbich is the bright characteristic of the noble scheme of self-defence.

As Mr. Blowhard, Gunner Hampden Harding performed his part admirably ; whilst Slasher and Crasher met with able representatives in Lieutenant Nevin Jourdsin and Gunner G. Ellison Collette.

Yesterday • deputation from the committee of the Working Men's Shakopee's Movement waited upon the Right Hon. W. Cowper, First Commimioner of Works, for the purpose of presenting a memorial requesting permis sion to meet ip Hyde-park on the 23rd of April next, the 300th annivenary of the poet's birthday, and to proceed thence in procession to the Green Pak, and plant an oak in celebration of the occasion. Mr. Cowen quite admitted that if an exception could be made this was a cue in which it might perhaps be more safely made than in any other instance, be cause it was quite independent of all party spirit, and could not lead to that rioting and strife which took place a year or two ago, at the time of the Garibaldi 'iota, when it became ne. curry to enforce the general rule with special strictness, from the circumstance that controversial question; had gradually grown up step bp step, and it mimed likely that the perk, instead of beteg a place for general recreation, would become one of straggle and con flict. If they now made an exception io favour of the Shakespeare demonstration, and permitted 90,000 people to assemble for • specifie purpose, it might happen that upon a future occasioa another 90,0004 whose object did not meet with quite the same unanimity of feeling as the pro mpt, might wish to assemble in the park. Under these circumstances he did sot feel that he had any authority to hold out encouragement to tits deputation. It seemed, to him that there were other places in the metropolis where this meeting might take place squally well, without inter fering with the enjoyment, the quiet, or sass of those who sought recreation in the park, sod he would rather invite the committee who bad the management of this movement to consider whether they could not substitute some other plans for Hyde-perk, by which means the de monstration might still take place, and no disap pointment would ensue. He hoped the deputation would consider that he fully sympathised with their wishes. but what be had to consider was whether this meeting could be made an exception ; and it did not seem to him that it could, more especially as it might take place in various other neighbourhoods. He joined warmly with the working men in their desire to make a demonstration of their admiration of 0110 of the most eminent writers:in the Eogliah language, and he ha d no d ou b t that that demotstration wookl go off . . with the moat perfect order and good humour, sad that the day on which it was made would be one of enjoyment and festivity to the working dames. Mr. WHEILCR expressed the regret of the deputation at the decision of the right hon. gentleman, .ad a hope that the special circurastaaces of the case which he pointed out would induce him to reconsider the matter. _ . _ Mr. Cowelit said that if, on further consideration and consultation with the authorities, the government were of opinion that a special exception to the general nil* could be made in this case, he would not fail to communicate at once with the secretary of the working men'scorausittes. The deputation then thanked the right hon. gentlemen for the courteous manner in which he had received them and listened to their repreeentatioes, and withdrew. THE SHAKESPEAREAN TERCENTENARY CELEBRATION AT STRATFORD-ON-AVON. The general arrangements for this Festival are progressing satisfactorily ; and the gigantic pavilion oow is its final stage of completion, under the charge of Mr. Brothers, the decorator, has bees visited by several thousand persons during the Fester holiday'. The demand for tickets for the banquet, at which the Earl of Csrlisle will preside, is increasing daily ; and the list of accepted invi. taboos includes the names of members of both homes of parliament, literary and dramatic celebrities, ko. The Viceroy of Ireland, during his stay in Warwickshire, will be the guest of the Lord•Lienteaant, Lord Leigh, at Stomleigh Abbey, who will also entertain th e Arch bishop of Dablia and other distinguished Molten at the Tercentenary. To the exhibition of portraits and picture" connected with Shakespeare and the stage, the offers of works of art are both numerous and valuable. The lord. Lieutenant of Ireland ham signified his Intention to lead to the committee the three celebrated pictures, in his lordship's possession, by Zoffanv, which give the portraits of actors of the old school. 'the value of the loan and its timely acquisition makes it doubly valuable, sod will give to the resideata of the midland comities a rare opportunity of be comiag familiarly acquainted with the works of the con temporaries of David Garrick. The committee, in their ar , peal to the nobility and gentry for the loan of such works of art as will illustrate Shakespeare and the drama— an appeal which has been very generously and universally responded to—are compelled to aooounos that all pictures and psintinp must be received in Stratford not later than Monday week. The resident county families are giving their best measure of support to the Fancy Dress and Sup per Ball on Friday, the 29th of April, for which Messrs. Coots and Tinoey's hood have been engaged. Judging from the steady demand made daily for tickets, au early application on the pan of those who have riot already ' secured them, is advimble. Dr. Heinrich Brockham, of Le'psig, has accepted the office of vice-preaidmit, and will be present at the Festival. THE EXETER-HALL LECTURES. (From tpt, Patriot.) We are glad to be able to disburden the Com mittee of the Young Men's Christian Association from sonic, at least, of the able responsibility which would have rated upon them if they had vetoed without explana tion the customary publication in a volume of the recent series of Exeter-hall Lectures. It is their desire that it may be distinctly understood that they did not presume to pas any censure upon the lectures, and that they were induenced by other motives than those which certain °bane rootlet journalists have suggested. The announcement made by the Record last week conveys an entirely false impression. We are gratified to learn that • large majority of the central committee were of opinion that the volume of lectures ought to be published vs usual, and that there was nothing in Professor Owee's lecture which would justify them in excluding it from the volume, or in any way departing from the ordinary nurse. After a very long discussion the following resolution was carried by a majority--• minority still battling for the publication at all risks :—" That, inasmuch as certain members of the association have expressed cooscientious objectious to statements in the lectures of the series 184;3-4, the committee, whilst declining the responsibility of passing an opinion upon the sentiments of individual lecturers, in defereeire to these objection, resolves that the poblicatioo of the completed volume shall not be proceeded with." This resolution doss not perhaps very clearly express the feel ings of the majority of the committee, who would without hesitation have ordered the publication of the volume to proceed had not certain inticential supporters of the amnia. two declared that they had such strong contentious objec tins tosome parts of Profaner Owen's lecture that they should be obliged to withdraw their countenance from the asso ciatioo altogether if that comae ware adopted. The rm. mines had, therefore, to decide whether they would pub lish at the risk of a @aconite which would involve serious damage not only to the funds but to the peest,ye of the society ; and considerations sot simply of prudence. but of Christian forbearanee and of personal attachment to ho noured individuals who bad long and warmly supported the iestitutioo, prevailed. There were some who thought, and rightly, se we jodge, that there was something due to the cause of truth, and something also to the lecturers, which required that the addresses should be published as here tofore; but the public will sot be inclined to judge the committee very hanhly whoa they understand the difiiculty in which they were placed, and especially when they are compurited of all sympathy with the ignoran t objections which have been taken to Professor Owen admirable address. It would have been one of the most melancholy and mischievous eveota of the tune if the assoziation bad refused to print that lecture for the reasons winch have been advanced by the men who are Lent on divorcing science and religion, add setting the Bible in antagonism to all the inquiries and investigations of modern philosophy. If that spirit had ruled is the councils of the society, it would have converted the Young Ifee's Christian Associatioc into a trainingechool for infidelity, and furnished educated sceptics with good cause for so,fling at religious people. Bat the parenthetic clause in the redo lotion was inserted with the express purpose of exempting the committee from any suspicion of having censored the lecturers of the past ensile by not publishing the annual volume ; and with the explanation, which will be given is • the socioty's own publications, it will no doubt answer its end. The publishers, who have already printed the lectures separately, intend, as we understand, immediately to bring ' out a reissue of Professor Owen's address, sod they will also • probably print the whole series in a volume en their own account, DEAR tea IN Scl4Ni E IN THE UNIVERSITY OF is well known that the Univenity of Lon don has for some time given the degrees of "Bachelor sod Inctoe of &ince," and that Oxford has recently permitted its iotending graduates to select the sciences as alternative subjects is the higher examinations. The Seoatus Academi cue of the University of Edishargh has tow matured • az.beme for granting degree" in science. It is made oompul eory on intending graduates that they should poseess • liberal education ; sod if they have not the evidence of this, by holding the degree of M.A., they are required to pais • prelimisary examination in the usual breeches of a fibers! education. The scientific examinations are to be of • searching kind. Before • caodidate can be come a Bachelor to Science he must pan two examinations, the first of which requires a general knowledge of the mathematical, physical, and ',store' menaces. and the second • more thorough acquaintance with certain pro. teased sciences. If the bachelor proceed to his doctorate, he has to specialise his studies still further by limiting himself to a particular science. in which he must exhibit • profound knowledge.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT. —limottros, basal 3L (Before Chid Justin Brio and • Common July.) oguanwo n. RIMS. This was an action for false imprimonmeat. Mr. G. Denman, Q.C., and Mr. C. Pollock, were for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Lazton for the defendant. The plaintiff in this action was a veterinary surgeon employed by the London Genies! Omnibus Company, and the defendant keeps a shop for the sale of miftiellaneous property at Walworth. The action arose under these dr. cumatances It appeared that the plaintiff saw some Locate exposed for sale in the defendant's shop, and he went in and inquired the price. A owning of lancets of different descriptions, some for bleeding horses, and others fur human beings, were shown to him, and he at length agreed to give three shillings for a large lancet and two smaller once, but he wanted the defendant, who served him, to give him • case for the lappets into the bargain. The defendant told him be bad not got • case that would bo:d three lancets, but the plaintiff pointed out one that was on a shelf behind the counter, and wished to have it, and the defendant said it would not hold the three lancets, but he might have it if be pleased. The defendant then, it appeared, turned round to get the ease, and when he was about to hand it to the plaintiff he missed one of the lancets, and requested the plaintiff to see whether it had fallen down on his side of the counter. The plaintiff de clined to do this, and • rather angry altercation took place between the parties, and the result was that the defendant, being unable to bad the lancet, gave the plaintiff into cus tody upon the charge of stealing it, and he was taken before • magistrate upon that charge, but after the matter had been fully investigated it was dismissed, and the present action was then brought against the defendant, It appeared that the missing lancet had never been discovered, but the plaintiff swore positively that there was sot the erightest foundation for the charge that was made against him of stealing it, and it was suggested that the defendant must heel, been mistaken in supposing that it was on the counter at the time he turned round to get theme. The defence to the ' action was that the defendant was perfectly justified, under the circumstances, in suspecting the plaintiff of having stolen the lancet, and according to his evidence he des ' timely saw it lying upon the glass coo in frost of the plaintiff at the moment he turned round to get the case, and be said he missed it instantly, and no person but the plaintiff could have taken it, and it appeared that when he asked the plaintiff to look for the lancet, instead of doing so he began to abase him and threatened to strike him. With regard to the lancet not having been (mind, it was smelted that, supposing the plaintiff to have takes it, he had ample opportunity for getting rid of the lanes* on his way to the police-station. The jury, after • short consultation, returned • verdict for the plaintiff—damages N., and the learned judge refused to certify, the effect of which will be that each party will have to pay his own costs. The remainder of the day wu occupied in trying • special jury cause, De Pass r. the Grand Surrey Docks Company, in which the question involved was whether the defendants were liable for the consequences of • collision that took place in their docks between two vessels called the Trow bridge and the Mangertoe. Mr. Lush, Q.C., and Si, G. Moorman were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Bovill, Q.C., Ind Mr. Raymond for the defendants. The details of the cue were entirely uninteresting to the public. It ia expected that both courts will be occupied to-day (Friday) in trying civil cause, and that the whole of the common jury eases remaining for trial will be sent into the Crown Court. before the Lord Chief Baron. A good many of the special jury canna have been withdrawn or settled. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—NoRwicIi, MARCH 31. (Wen the Lord Chief Justice end a Special Jon.) POLL= V. AMON AND OTHIRS.-THZ NUNDIOAD POACH ING CASE. Mr. O'Malley. Q.C.. and Mr. Pbear appeared foe the plaintiff ; Mr. Kum, Q.C., Mr. Bulwer, and Mr. Kirkby, for the defendants. This case, which was an action against three of the trate* of Norfolk, was proceeding when our parcel left yesterday. Philip Fuller. the plainti ff , was cross-examined by Mr. Keane, q .c.-1 not asked where I bought the game, and I did not say. I did not call the persons I bought it of as witnesses. Mr. Walpole's uncle was present when I was before the magistrates on the lot of July. lie did not apply for a postponement—they let me go without entering into recognisance*. When I was before the magistrates in August Mr. Baring said he wished it pot off then, as he had applied for counsel's opinion to know what he should do in the cue. On the last occasion that I was before the magistrates Mr. Baring said they had tried to get the penalty let down, but they found they could not do it. They gave me a month to psy the tins, and said I most pay the costa down. I said I had not got the money, but I did not ask for time. By the judge—l don't recollect whether I told my at torney where I bought the game. . . . . The reports of flit'. procealop before the magistrates in the Bury Post were putth reed. Mrs. By.—My husised is shepherd to Mr. Roper. I was anbtsenced, and have six, had notice to leave cur house within a week. Mr. Meow submitted that th►t was an improper question. His lordship—l cannot believe. Mr. Phear, that a geode man of your experience does not know that that is an im proper question, and could only be asked for the purpose of prejudice. Mr. O'Malley. Q.C.—lt has been made a point in this case that the plaintiff did sot call these witnesses when be fore the magistrates, and this evidence is introduced to show why he did not. After your lordship's remarks I feel bound to say that I am entirely responsible for the ques tion asked by my learned friend, and for the memo I h►ve stated. The witness went on to say that she sold the pri soner the rabbits. Mrs. Mathew—My bust:red is bailiff to Mr. Roper. I remember the plaintiff coming to my house just before be was taken before the magistrates. I had a bare sod a partridge in my house that d..v. I parted with them to Fuller. He gave me some herrings, some yeast, and a shilling. I gave him the partridge. This was the pLintiff's case. Mr. Keane submitted that there was ao case to go to the jury, as the conviction was not quashed. Mr. O'Malley called his lordship's attention to the Justice of the Peace Act, and submitted that it was only necessary that the conviction should be quashed in cases not within the jurisdiction of the magistrates. His lordship stated that he would consult Mr. Justice Crompton, and give his decision this morning. This morning the learned Chief Justice stated that be did not feel juatified in stopping the case, bat he would reser►e the point. . . . . Keane thou submitted that co action would lie in respect of the refusal of the magistrates to state a ease. Mr. O'Malley said that be did cot rely oc that as a substactire eattas of acti.u, but it wu evidence of malice. His Lordship—The great question will be whether there is malice. Mr. Keane not calling witnesses, Mr. O'Malley addressed the jury for the plaintiff, con tending that the facie clearly showed malice, as the magis trates had made it one of the grounds of the conviction that the plaintiff had been convicted before. Mr. Sian then addressed the jury for the defendants. He (the learned counsel) thought that he should satisfy the jury that the decision of the magistrates if wrong only re sulted from the erroneous judgment of the magistrates, and not from any desire on their part that justice should be administered partially. He did not presume to criticise what was done in the Court of Queen's Bench, bat what was dose there was calculated to embarrass the magis trates. Coder an act confessedly obscure, and of which it has been held that the mere finding of game was presump tive evidence of guilt., there could not. under the facts of this cam, be malice. What other conclusion could the magistrates come to than that the plaintiff came by the game improwly • could the jury then say that they had personal or Malice The plaintiff gave no account of the game. Game is toned to the cart a partiidge with its legs broken, as if by a trap or snare ; a bare, which the plaintiff did not mention to the policeman ; the cart against a plantation ; and all the defence was that the man had a wooden leg. It reminded him (the learned mussel) of a story told in one of Mr. Dickens's novels. A coachman was told that the law required him to do something which it was impossible for the driver of a coach to do, and the reply he made, not very respectful perhaps, wee that if the law required this •• the law was a bass, and never ' drove a coach" ; and he (the learned counsel) said, that if the law was each that a man with a wooden leg could not be convicted of poaching, •• the law was a ham, and bad never poached." (Great laughter.) Theo they say it was malicious, refusing to stage a cam ; but what did the ma gistrates do' They say that is not the proper course, you should appeal, and thee you would have both facts and law gone into. The plaintiff might have taken up a case after that. The delay after the case was decided was only caused by the magistrates taking the opinion of coun sel. as to whether they could let the plaintiff off altogether. Something had been said about Mr. Sut ton saying that be would Dot stultify bin:molt by altering the decision the magistrates had come to. It had been said, why did not the magistrates come and face the jury'—why rest their case on the facia as stated by the plaintiff himself'—and they my that on those facts no malice is shown. They could not alter the facts if they had come and given evidence. His Lordship then summed up to the jury. He cam ' mewed by stating that it was for him to decide whether there was reasonable and probable muse for the conviction, and in his opinion there was not ; but that would not reader; the defendants liable, unless the jai y were of opinion that there was malice. Ender this act of parliament it was not necessary that the man should be won upon land. That conclusion might be come to inferentially ; but is his opinion the evidence did not justify that inference. If this man had been found at 5 o'clock in the manual:. or with guns and sets, or even in company with a pawn who was proved to be is pursuit of game, the case would have been different ; bat the inference was, what the evidence to-day has am danCy proved, viz., that be was going about the country collecting game that other people had taken ; and that would not justify the conviction. But it is not because magistrates make an error in judgment that they are to be responsible. Then came the question, was then malice He (the learned judge) would hare con nothing io themes to indicate audios had it not bees for the unfortunate es premien of Mr. Hades, to the *Mot that threy salstred themselves to be influenced by the antecedents of this man. The question, then, was, were they so influenced? It appeared that Mr. Baring used these on to justify the opinion of the magistrates, which 0 .1 1:11 rather roughly handled by the Court of Queen's Bench ;Pend if that was Meuse, and they were only luau mad by the evidence which was before them, they were not liable. But if the magistrates strained the law in order to convict this man, that would be malice. The question for the jury wu, whether what was done was maliciously done ; if not, their verdict must be for the defendants. With respect to the refusal of the case, that was matter for their consideration on the question of malice. They had a discretionary power, but they were bound to exercise that without malice. It was said they had omitted facts in the case, but if the jury ware of opinion that the only question on which the magistrates wished for the opinion of the court was as to whether it was necessary to prove that he had been seen on land, then in his (the learned j udge's opinion) no material facia had been omitted. If the plaintiff wanted to reverse the decision on the facts, the Court of Quarter Sessions wan. doubtedly the proper tribunal to go to. As to the count for the imprisonment, he was of opinion that it was justified by the subsisting conviction. The jury would therefore say whether there was malice, and whether an unreasonable time elapsed between the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench and the imprisonment of the plaintiff. The Jury, after considering for nearly two hours, returned a verdict for the plaintiff —damages 40s. —and stated, in reply to a question from his lordship, that there wu only MAWS in straining the law at the time of conviction, and that no unreasonable delay occurred in carrying out the conviction. . . His lordship certified for • special jury, and that it was • proper case to be tried. PRATT r. CANNILL.

On the evening of the 24th of December last they were both drinking at the Grose Mall, at Watton, and a good deal of quarreling seems to have occurred amongst the party. The prosecu tor was turned out of doors by the landlord, and for half an hoar afterwards occupied himself with knock. ing and kicking at the door, and calling on the prisoner for sh explanation of some offensive language used by him earlier in the evening. Meanwhile a policeman had *am* into the bowie, and the prisoner, who bad hitherto been afraid of going home led he should fall into the clutches of the prosecutor, placed himself cruder the coustable's pro tection, and sidled forth.

The following ooze was tried yesterday, but too late to be iecluded in our parcel : ACTION AGAINST THE LANCASHIRE AND SOMMERS SAIL• WAT COMPANY. The plaintiffs is this action were James and Sarah Wroe, and they sought to recover compensation for injuries sos• Weed by the latter in eossequeaos of the negligence of the defendants' servants. with Mr. Higgio, appeared for the plaintiffs ; r. Attorney-General James, Q.C., with Mr. T. Jones, for the defendants. . . Mr. Wroe is a boot sod shoe maker, doing an extensive bushman at Aehton•under-Lyne, and his wife, up to the time of the accident, had the management of what was called " the ladies' department" On the 6th of March, 1563. Mrs. Wroe proceeded from Ashton in a third-class carriage of a train going to Manchester, but the train bad only just left the former to en when the accident occurred, owing, it was believed, to the condition of some of the switches. The carriages were drat 000sidernbly shaken, and then that in which Mrs. Wroe was seated actually tel over, several per sons being thrown upon the lady. With some difficulty she was extricated from her perilous position, and on recovering consciousness she found herself at the Charleston station. She determined to endeavour to proceed to Manchester in order that she might transact the business which it was her duty to attend to,and she therefore got into a train,and did actually go to that city. Os arriving there she experienced very great difficulty in walking. She felt severe pains is her bead and beck, and on her return to Ashton she gradually got worse. An affection of the left hip subsequently took place. She was laid up for some time, end she bad now to use crutches. Ooe of her legs was shorter than the other, and she would be a cripple for life. Her husband's business had f►llen off in consequence of her being unable to give that attention to it which she gave formerly. Mr. Wood, the surgeon sent by the defendants to visit Mrs. Wroe, stated that he had seen the latter attending to bruiser since the accident. She did not complain of her hip until three months had elapsed, but after that time she no doubt suffered considerable pain, and her leg was now something under an inch shorter than the other. Other Medical witnesses were called, cod they stated that Mrs. Wroe's illness had been of a very severe character, and that her leg would be from an inch and a half to two inches shorter. Mr. Wroe stated that his receipts from his bnaieess bad, since his wife's illness, been materially less, and that they were likely to be so. Mr. Attorney-Omura! James, for the defence, did not deny the company's liability, but addressed the jury in mitigation of damages. His lordship, is summing op, said there was no proof that Mrs. Wroe had been guilty of "shamming ; " bat, on the contrary, has whole conduct was perfectly fair and honest. Railway companies were no doubt often exposed to exaggerated claims, and they bad therefore to investigate closely every ease, and they sometimes instructed their counsel to take a hoe of defence which seemed hardly fair to the plainti ff s or warranted by the facts. The jury, thee a brief consultation, returned a verdict for the plaintiffs, awarding Mrs. Wroe NV/. damages, Mr. Wroe, for lose of trade, 150/., and for expenses in curred 100/. SECOND NISI Paws Covirr.—(Before Mr. Justice wales.) ROWLINSOR r. GORDON.—BIZACH or PROMIISE or MARRIAGE. In this cane the plaintiff, Idles Blanche Rowlinson, the daughter of a inerchast in Liverpool, sought to recover damages from 11r. W. G. Gordon, for breach of promise of marriage. The plaintiff is 2.3 years of age, and the defendant 27. The plaintiff and defendant became acquainted when the latter was employed in an office in Liverpool. He paid the plaintiff great attentions. but he never made any proposal of marriage. He subsequently obtained a situation at Hauteur in China, from which place he wrote a long letter to plaintiff's father, confessing his love for the plaintiff, and soliciting permission to pay ►is addresses to her. In this he enclosed a most passionate love letter to the plaintiff. Both Mr. Bowlineon sod the plaintiff replied to thee* letters, each agreeing to the defendant's wishes. The defendant after this wrote numerous letters to the plaintiff, in which, in true lover's terms, he constantly alluded to their marriage, and spoke of his parents being agreeable to the engagement. He also said that be had saved 3,00 W., which be would settle ou the plaintiff, and that he would soon be a partner in the firm of his employers. He also de scribed haw be was furnishing a house for her, and mentioned • variety of details as to her outfit, and the arrangements he thought best for her journey to Chins. He spoke also about everybody at Hankow and Shanghai being aware of his proposed mar riage with her. This correspondence commenced in June, 1861, but In August, 1862, the defendant wrote to the plaintiff to the effect that the marriage would have to be delayed, as his parents objected to the marriate. He also said that be intended returning to Europe to see his parents on the subject. His letters after this gradually cooled, and be finally wrote to Mr. itowlinsoo, returning the plaintiff. letter*, and breaking off the engagement. lie g►ve as his reasons for this act the opposition of his parents to the marriage, and the uncoogeoiality of his disposition and the plaintiff's. The damages were laid at 10,0001. The jury returned& verdict foe the plaintiff—damages, 7.50 f.

Alderman Copeland said in all his experience as a magis trate he never had such a awn before him. It was painful in the extreme to winces such an amount of depravity in children so young. They had, it appeared, been in custody several times before, and from the systematic course put sued he could only believe that the parents were conniving at it, and living upon the ill-gotten gams of the prisoners. They were fit objects for a reformatory, and with that end in view he committed them for trial. CLERICEN WELL. Clarks Prato, a sharp , intelligent-looking boy, only 13 years of age, was charged with steeling a cash box, 191. in gold, 21. 12s. in silver, one Si.

The prisoner, it was stated, had only been a short time in the employ of the prosecutor, but his being a sharp boy the prosecutor took great inte rest in him, and had en trusted him with a good deal of valuable property, and also with large sums of money. On Wednesday week the cash box in question was missed from a room to which the prisoner had access ; and on somata of his being abort of a sovereign the week before suspicion fell on him, and be was asked if he knew anything about it.

The prisoner was then given into custody,and he was told that he was accused of the robbery. He again repeated that he knew nothing about it, and afterwards he said he had taken it sod put it is the garden. Both the prosecutor and the constable were severely.

The magtotrate said it was • case he should not feel jnatified in deciding, and committed the prisoner to the Middlesex Sessions for trial, returning the application for MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

He gave information to the police, and the prisoner was subsequently taken into custody. The prisoner said she was accused wrongfully this time. Mr. Robert Wm. /lammed, of .the Queen and Prince Albert, Park-lane, Kniehtsbridge, said that on Saturday night last there were five deaf and dumb men in the bar. The prisoner made rages to the prosecutor for him to treat her, and be did so. The prosecutor and the prisoner had • struggle together, and afterwards the prisoner ran out of the door. In &newer to a question the witness said that on getting tip the prosecutor made signs that he had lost his purse, and wrote on a piece of paper that the prisoner bad stolen,it. The prisoner asked the witness whether the deaf and dumb man had not pulled her about ; and the witness said that two of them had. The Bev. Mr. Smith ask) be was afraid the prosecutor had been drinking a good deal. Mr. Beck, 18, Planelaghmews, Pimlico, carpenter, said he was at the tavern on Saturday, and took the prisoner away with him, she being intoxicated at the time. He found her in the elegies room with three riflemen, and on coming down stairs heard something about the lass of some money. Mr. Arnold said, after hearing the evidence, u he believed no jury would convict, he should discharge the prisoner. WESTMINSTER. On the ith of October last a Mn. Shipway, accompanied by three young children, applied to the sitting magistrate • this court, stating th at she and her family went to Ply mouth, for the purpme of embarking on board the Ida, emigrant ship, to join her husband, who bad gone out to CLIME* Sydney, New South Wake, as coachman to a gentleman two years previously, but that, on account of the youngest child coffering from the whooping cough, she was not allowed to embark, and consequently had to return to London penniless. Her distressing coudition having been made public, and the result of the strictest inquiry proving the accuracy of her statement and the excellence of her cha racter, sums, amounting to upwards of 35f., were sent to this court by the benevolent public, which have been carefully applied under the direction of the magistrates to the maintenance of Mrs. Shipway and family during the late severe winter and continued alums of the child. The latter being now nearly oonvalencent, Mrs. Shipway has been informed by the authorities at the Emigration Office that she will be required to embark at Liverpool on the 2fith of April ; but the fund upon which she has hitherto sub sisted ere that will be completely exhausted, and the poor woman will be required to pay the expenses of the teeny nom ot herself and children to Liverpool, sad when *be reaches Sydney will have to travel between 200 and 300 miles to rejoin her husband. Since her case was first brought before the public, in October last, she has been under the eye of one of the principal officers of the court, and the unfortunate woman's conduct has been most exemplary.

Fp., in the chair. A resolution was passed unanimously to adhere to the old scale of prices for all descriptions of finished iron. In the course of the conversation which took plus it wee admitted that the trade is dull, some makers not having nearly sufficient orders to enable than to keep their works in full operation ; but as there would be a great difficulty in the way of reducing the men's wages, the alternative will be adopted of working three or four days a week, in the event of the demand for iron continuing as moderate u it Ilea been during the last mouth. It is thought that when the result of this meeting is known the trade will revive, many buyers having refrained from ordering in the belief that prices would be reduced. There is a fair demand on American account ; but the Dano-Ccrman war has had the effect of stopping the spring trade with the North of Europe.
