The rifle bullet pored through Chipts, then through the body of Coles, Ostia and flattened itself 'epithet the wall, and finally injured the stock of a rifle, with the ramrod of which it came in contact.

Wore Mr. Commissioner Coulburn4 DI 12 IXILIAXIN 01218. —llll LEATH= 11211. The bankrupt was a leather-factor, of Bermoudemehmt. nuke was the adjourned certificate meeting. The accounts, prepared by Mews. Hart, extend over 2i y . ears, commix. rug at the beginning of 1858, with • defi ciency of 1,0811. The bankrupt now owes to unsecured creditors, on 11, 1, 0:l t j bills, 11,8301., of which 3,729/. ere not expected to reek against the estate. The assets were stated at 1,4961. in good debts and property. Mr. Fennell, the official assignee, in his report on the wee, states that the bankrupt, who wee formerly in the service of Merin. Hooper and Parkinson, commenced business in 1851 without any capital. In February, 1858, be was joined by • person named Austin, also formerly in the employment al Hooper and Parkinson, and also without capital. The partnership was dissolved in January, 1860, the bankrupt oontinuing the bminces. His transactions had been of an extensive ebeereeter, particularly in connexion with Hooper and Parkinson. There appeared to have been a system of bill accommodation transaction,' between them, the result bung that, at the end of the year 1859, the balance against the bankrupt amounted to upwards of 9,0001. The debt was them reduced to 3,1011., by wrig off, with the consist of Hooper and Parkinson, 6,0421. The balance still re mained due to them, and was repainted by arresplamoss diersounted and held by _other parties . Though the bank mp's purchases amounted to 33,1791., be had accepted bills to the amount of 67,1771. His ales appeared to have bees 30,3171., while the Dille receivable book disclosed Han either drawn or endorsed to the amount of 60,2711. In the fen of mach a trading upon accommodation bills, it was not surprising to find that the result was • very heavy lam A nominal gum of 4171. was returned mpofit ; but imuntach as the bad debts alone amounted to more than three times that sum, any question of profit was • mere deludes. The trade expwes, too, were enormously heavy, being retuned at 7,4401., of which no lees a sum than 1,954/. consisted of interest and discount. Notwithstanding the unfavourable points in this cue, the bankrupt was entitled to credit for good hook - hl•Plelf. At • former sitting the assignees opposed ; but a gentle men from the o ffi ce of Mears. Crossley and Burn now stated that they withdrew their opposition. His Honour said he must be allowed to say that this course, on the part of the assignees, was not creditable. They bad accepted a trust for the general body of the creditors, and ought not to shrink from the iliac - bog° of its duties. Mr. Lawrence, for the bankrupt, mid that the termer were trade creditors. They were Mr. Kemp and Mr. Wallinger, the public officers of two discount companies. No other Creditor opposed. Three months ego the bank. rapt had applied for his certificate ; bat an adjournment had been ordered, to see what was done with Hooper and Park imam. Thane bankrnse bad not yet pained their examina tion, and some time must elapse before they came up for their certificates. In the interval, Mr. Commisioner Fans had decided on • similar ease, that of 0= and had awarded an immediate certificate of the class. Probably that had determined the magnate in the course they had pursued to-day. It was true the trading had been very unfortunate. The Commissioner—What will the dividend be? Mr. Peonell—About a shilling in the pound. Mr. Lawrence mid that the profits had been largely over weighted by the trade expenses. The wages paid for work. lag up lea the r had of late been greater than the proceeds radioed. The bills described by the official assignee as sc. menniodation transactions were not so in the real sense of the term. Hooper and Parkinson had never drawn on the bankrupt except for value, and the bankrupt had never ac aped but for value. The aggregate amount of bills very much exceeded the amount of goods sold ; but this was owing to renewals ; and at no one period was the bankrupt under acceptances for more than the amount of goods supplied. A renewal of a debt was not • fresh debt, nor did it constitute an accommodation bill. The only liabilities that ranked against the estate were those actually representing goods supplied. It was the common course of dealing in the Feat India trade to give acceptemes at three months, renewable for other three months in the event of the proceeds not then having arrived. There was in reality no complaint Kaput the bankrupt ; the only complaint, if any, was Hers Hooper and Parkinson, roe being too geed-natured. was no doubt that the assignees would have opposed had these transactions been really in the nature of accommoda , Von bills. If a bill were reuewed a hundred times, it was , in no sense an accommodation transaction if the original bill was given for value. There had already been an adjourn ment of three months, which ought to satisfy the justice of the case. Hia Honour said be would take time to consider the ' case, and would look into that which had been referred to , as decided by Mr. Commimioner Fans. He forbore giving any opinion on the question raised by Mr. Lawrence, as to , whether renewals were accommodation bills. though he confessed his first impressions did not go with that reason , rug. Where assignees shrank from their duty, as in this case, the court was left to find its way as well as it could, , and to make inquiry into all the facts of the case. Here, not only had the assignees refrained from appearing, but , even their *elicitor had not thought it necessary to attend. fifth conduct was not fair to the court, and was not fulfil ling the duty which the assignees had taken upon them selves. In such mess the great importance of the dim of official assignee was manifest. Mr. Pennell had made • most clear and excellent report. Mr. Lawrence had taken Issue with him as to what constituted an accommodation bill ; and it was for the court to determine between them. Judgment was appointed for Monday, ith January. instantaneous: fohnson joined the corps in the West Indies, where he bad eighteen months' service and obtained a good-conduct stripe. Dr. Lyford wait called by the judge, ►nd said that the prisoner had been under his especial observithon ever since his admission to the county gaol, both at times when John son had seen him, and at times when he could not, and he had found in him no symptom whatever of aberration of mind. The discrimination between real and feigned in sanity was a part of medical studies. In his judgment the prisoner was when be first saw him, hes been ever since, and is now of sound mind ; but he wee • person of exceed suitable temperament. Hr. W. M. Cooke, in his edam§ to the jury for the de fence, disclaimed that he bad bad any intention to urge that the prisoner was of unsound mind. The prisoner's answer to this grave and serious charge was not that he did this fatal act while he was in • state of unsound mind, but that it was the result of sheer accident, for which ha was not responsible. It was an accident, and not a design. He entreated the jury to leen if they could to the probabllikiss in favour of the prisoner. The learned Judge having summed up, The jury after • brief retirement returned into wart with a verdict of Guilty. Mr. Justice Bylee assumed the black cap, and parsed sen tence of death in the usual form. The p isonsr, who continued to rub his hands throughout the tr i u, slapped them together once or twice as he was re moved from the dock. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Woacserss, Dsc. 12. (Beim Yr. Baron Wilde.) William Slim, a dealer in old iron, WA indicted for wounding Enoch Oooper, with intent to murder him. The einunnetsnose of the cue were most %Mal and revolting. It appeared that the prisoner 'Mend the Swan public ,.. boom at ntford, in the of Oldbury, on the sth of July Let, and called for • nor, saying he had no money, whereupon the prosecutor offered to give him • shil- ' ling. In return for this he challenged the pro secutor to fight, and on his refusing to tight, prisoner said be would make him do so ; and as the prosecutor sat peace ably in his chair, he seised hold of a leathern apron which prosecutor wore, and attempted to strangle him with it. He then struck hint a violent blow on the temple, knocking him down senseless. He then seised him by the hair of the head (prosecutor being all the time quite or ocasetions), and struck him two violent blows on the jaw, causing a compound fracture, pan of the jaw and se veral of the teeth being forced under the tongue. Not satisfied with this, he proceeded to further violence. The landlady attempted to interfere, whereupon he seined her by the meek, half •trangled her, and forced her out of the room. The surgeon's evidence showed the wounds to be of a most dangerous description, and the prosecutor's life was despaired of for some time. The prisoner was the tenor of the neighbourhood in which he lived, and had been previously convicted of violent amanita. The learned Judge characterised the case as one of the ' most savage, brnta4 and unmanly that ever came before him. Sentence of death woe recorded against the prisoner. NORTH WALES CIRCUIT.—Cumma, Dsc.l2. (Wore Mr. Justine Blackburn.) John Howard!, 77, weaver, Stockport, was charged with wilfully killing his wife, Mary Ann Howard, at Stockport, on the 25th September last. Mr. Bevan and Mr. H. Lloyd prosecuted ; Mr. M'lntyre defended the prisoner. The prisoner pleaded not guilty in • firm voice. The prisoner was • hand-loom weaver, and had resided up to the time of the murder in Weever row, Stockport. The wife of the prisoner was much younger, and had borne him twelve children, six of whom are living. The deceased was • very powerful woman, and of very intemperate habits, and had been the source of much unhappiness to the prisoner. The day before she died it appeared that she was rolling about Stockport in • beastly state of drunkenness. Between 8 and 9 o'clock that night she went home, and was very ex cited. She kned at the door for admittance, which the prisoner refused, and she then went round to the back of the house to endeavour to get in. Finding the prisoner would not admit her she became more excited still, and threatened to break the windows if she were not admitted. Silo was still refused admittance, when sho thrust her band through the window, and out it. The door was then opened, and when she went in she became very quarrelsome and excited. She struck the prisoner upon his face with her bloody hand, and turned her daughter out of the house. About three o'clock in the morning the daughter managed to get into the house, and found her mother lying axe the table. She aroused the deceased, took her upstairs, mad placed her in bed with the prisoner. They were all 111 bed from that time to halt-past five in the morning, when deceased awoke, and then went to prepare the breakfast. A little before six o'clock the daughter left the house. Half an hour afterwards the primmer left, and locked the door. He went to a neighbour, and said, "There is some thing Milli , in our house. I think she has done something with herself, there is so much blood about the room." On the house being entered the deceased was found lying on the bed, with her bead between her arms, her face down ward., and her arms hanging towards the Boor. There ware three gashes on the throat and one incision on the side of it. Her head had been battered in, and • dinner knife was found in the bed. The neighbours ' when they went into the bed-room, found spots of blood upon the prisoner's cheek, and told him to go and wash his face. He did so, saying that his wife had struck him with her bloody hand. . . . The jury had not rettinied their verdict when oar parcel was despatched.

COURT OF EXoHll9l7Flit.rDsc. 12. Mir M 2fli Prior, at Oudahall..--(Before the Lord Met Baron mid Special Jury.) MMVILLB r. LOADMAN.—ALLIORD MALICIOUS PROSICUTION. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, Como Ne ville, to recover damages from the defendant, Robert MU wor Loadmen, fora malicious prosecution in giving the plain tiff into custody. The defendant pleaded not guilty, and that he bad reasonable and probable canoe for supposing tilt the plaintiff was about to quit this country. The Belentor.Gerveral and Yr. Charles Pollock were cotin• sal fur the plaintiff ; Yr. Huddleaton, Yr. Macnamara, and amether learned gentleman represented the defendant. It appeared from the case opened for the plaintiff, and afterwards proved by his own evidence and that of other witeseses, that he re a gentleman of property, who formerly resided at Oakbrook, mar lianunarinsith, where the de feadaat has for thirty-two years carried on business as a serge:" and general practitioner. nie defendant attended the plaintiff and his family as medical man between the years 11155 and 1858, sending in his accounts yearly. The plaintiff, however, stated that he bad may received the acconnte in gross, and not the items. Huheequently the plaintiff celled in another medical man, and for two years afterwards the de. fendant's account remained unliquideted, although frequent applications were made for its payment. The corm:poe ticisee put in showed that the plaintiff had promised pay- meet of the defendant'. account. The defendant's attorney wrote to the plaintiff demanding payment, sod not re ceiving it the defendant went to some wise°. at Hammersmith and made inquiries whether the plaintiff was not about to leave the country. On the information which he received from them be went before a judge at chambers, sad ea his own affidavit and that of other he obtained a espies, under the Ist and 2nd Vio., e. 110, and bad the plaintiff arrested, on the ground that he was going to reside out of the jurisdiction of the omit. Th. plaintiff was obliged to give bail, and had then brought this action for a malicious prosecution, the defentLot having brought an adieu for debt in the Court of Queen's Bench against him to recover 621. 14.. ad.. the amount claimed for medical attendance. /Ir. Robert Emmett. a partner in the firm of Mows. Emmett, the plaintiff's attorney, deposed that be eaw the plaintiff ia the custody of the sheriff's Mikan on the 27th of August lank whoa he egad them to allow the plaintiff to rowels in custody in his case ;lint they reneged, sad took him to Chaneery-lane. The load Chief Baron—That is a proof of incivility on the part of the °Moen of the sheriff. It was very wrong on their put. Witness— They took the plaintiff in custody to Blownian's spongielphome, in Chancery lane. The Lord Chief Baron--That was great misconduct on the part of the officers of the sheriff. The Solicitor. General-1 suppose some fee is payable before a person can get out of a sponging.house. Witnem—Yea, be must pay a guinea fur the use of the room. Yr. Jasper Wheeler. a butcher at Hammersmith, was called to prove that the defendant had called upon him, and bad inquired if the plaintiff was not going to reside abroad. Witnees replied that he had heard so, and in the course of convemation be told the defendant that the plaintiff had paid his amount for butcher's meat, and did not then owe him much. The Lord Chief Baron—l suppose that was to show that the plaintiff wasted more meat than medicine. (Laughter.) Mr. J. R. Eden, • plumber, at Hammersmith, pee evi dence of a similarcharaeter, the object being to show that the witnesses had not stated mitten sworn to in the de- fandast's affidavit, op which the eapias was obtained. The Lord Clue( Baron suggested that some engagement should be come to. It was quite clear that the action brought by the present defeodant against the prompt plaintiff must, after tho letters which bad been read, be really undefesded. Counsel having consulted were unable to come to any arraugement, and the case closed. Mr. Huddlestoo submitted there was no ease to go to the fury, all there was no proof of malicious prosecution. The Lord Chief Baron mid it appeared to him there was so malice proved against the defendant, who, in his appli cations for payment, bad shown that be was disposed totrsat the gentleman who now sued him with the greatest for bearance. He thought the defendant had removable and probable muse for causing the plaintiff to be arrested, although he might have committed a Wunder. The Solicitor-General submitted there was a case for the jury, and the court then adjourned for • few minutes, hie lordship again expressing a bope that the awe would be settled without the intervention of the jury. On the reassembling of the court, The cam for the defendant was proceeded with, and he was called to prove that he acted from no malicious motives is combs' the arrest of the plaintiff, but on the informatics which he had received that Mr. Neville was about to leave the country. The jury found a verdict for the defendant. The Lord Chief Baron remarked that the defendant left tie court without the slightest imputation on his oharacter. COURT OP PROBATE AND DIVORCE Dic. 12.

WESTERN CIRCIJIT.—WiRciumm, Dec. 12. CIOWN 00ITIVE— (adore Mr. Jostles Byles.) THH DOCELI MORD= AT ALDZISHOTT. Jaws Janson, yid 25, a private in the 41st Regiment of Foot, was indicted for the wilful murder of Owen Chipta, • sergeant of the same corps, on Sept. 29, at Aldershott. Mr. H. T. Cole and Mr. Russell prosecuted ; Mr. W. M. Cooke, at the request of the judge, undertook the prisoner's &team The prisoner was brought into the dock between two warden of the gaoL Ho presented eirild-looking appear- MC*, muttered frequent and imintellgible expressions, rubbed his hands together, and at first sight had altogether the appearance of a demented person. On being called on to plead, the prisoner, after some muttering and turning rouM in the dock said,"Ouilty not,"aod thathe did not want to stop there. The learned judge having had u conference with Dr. Lyford, the medical officer of the gaol, the case proceeded. The facts of this painful case are these :—On Frida the 29th of September, the 41st Regiment, quartered atAlder shot; went out for ball practice, each man being supplied with ten rounds ; the day proved a wet are, and therefore only seven rounds wen and, the men retaining the spare smmuaitiou. Next day. Saturday, the 29th, the prisoner was directed by Sergeant Chipta to clean the fireplaces ; he did so, bet rid that he could not polish them ; Chipta told him to go on with his work, on which Johnson ru bb ed a dirt• brush over the fireplaces. sod this caused Colour- Sergeant Penny to say he would confine him. Sergeant Chipts came in, and • complaint was made against the pri soner, who said he would sooner be put into the ciard-room than threatened. CMOs ordered two mile to take him to the guardroom. About 11 o'clock Johnson said that the colonel had gives him twelve days' extra drill on Ciiipea's complaint. Before he went before the colonel be declared, " if i get any punishment far this I will kill some -- be fore night." When he came out of the guard-roam he ex- THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. John Sweeny, • castermouger, stated to be 18 years old, wax brought up for re-examination before the Lord Mayor, upon the charge of stealing • tag eintaining some alpaca cloth and other articles, the property of Thomas Harman, a carman, carrying on business in Fore-street. Mr.' Beard, the solicitor, attended to prosecute on behalf of the Carmen's Association for the prevention and detec tion of offences of this description. It appeared upon the former bearing that on the evening of the nth of December a carman amazed Robinson was de. hvering a box from a van in Fenchurch•treet, and he was not away more than a minute or two, when upon his com ing out he sew the prisoner in the act of walking off with a bag that bad been placed on the front of the van. He called • polioenian and gave the prisoner in charge, and be asserted that he saw another man take the bag from the van, and that he stopped him and took it from him, and was about to replace it when the carnian laid hold of him. It was stated that the prisoner bad been before convicted of felony. Mr. Beard now applied to his lordship to iced the case for trial, as he said that robberies of this description were so frequent, and the carmen of the met/opol's suffered such extensive losses byproperty being stolen from their vehicles, that it was necessary some severe punishment should be in flicted, in order that this system of plunder might be put • stop to. He was informed that he should be able to show that the prisoner was one of a gang of persons who were known so " dragomen," who made it their business to prowl about the great thoroughfares, and steal property from carts and waggons whenever they had an opportunity. The, prisoner offered to plead guilty, and begged his lord ship to deal with the care at once. The Lord Mayor said that after what he had heard he did not feel himself justified in disposing summarily of thence, and he should send him to the Central Criminal Court for trial. A Jew named Abraham Moses, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with endeavouring to obtain money under false pretences. It appsared from the evidence of • young man named Henry Harris that on Sunday night the prisoner accosted him in Bishopegaki-etreet, mad said he wax " hard up " for a few shillings, and offered to moll him an Australian gold ring and a silver chain for • pound. It happened that the complainant was well acquainted wills these kind of articles, and he at once Macovered that Mier were spurious and almost worthless, and he called a policeman cad gave the primmer into custody. When the a, 1860 prisoner was searched, two other chains and a ring of the name description were found upon him. The prisoner in his dallenos said that all he did was to tell the prosecutor that the chain came from Australia, and so ft did—a long way from it—it came from Houndaditch. (A laugh.) The Lord Mayor told him he should send him for trial. Tins prisoner, in an Impudent tooe, said that if him lord ship committed every Jew who sold brass for gold Ds would soon fill all the gags. (laughter.) He was then committed to Newgate for trial. John Riky, a dirty-looking boy, about 14 years of age, who refused his address, was charged before Mr. Barker with stealing a codfish from the shop of Mr. W. H. Brooks, fishmonger, of 169 i, Whitecross-street. Theoomplainant statedthaton the previous night, while he was standing in his shop he was rather surprised to find his cod fish moving about, and before he bad moved a step or so one of the fish disappeared from off the board. He ran out and saw his fish being dragged along by a piece of rope. When the prisoner was stopped it was found that he bad a piece of string about twenty yards in length in his possession, and at the end was a sharp hook which was thrown on St and as the prisoner passed away from the shop be the fish after him. The prosecutor had lost a number of fish in a similar way. The prisoner said he was sorry, and would never do so env more. kr. Barker remarked that this was a new way to fish, and remanded the prisoner for a week. WORSRIP43TREET. Edward Pdt, a thiaklysso man of si ngular aspect, and warmly clothed, some portion of his dress appearing to have belonged to a workhouse, was charged before Mr. Leigh with setting are to a stack of straw, the property of George Clarkson, Faq., of Pembroke-oottage, Caledonian _ PcHoe-constable Foden, 177 11, said—This morning be tween six and seven o'clock I was on duty in Church-street, Hackney, when the prisoner, who was quite sober, accosted me with, "Governor, I have been wandering about a loottime and am nearly starved to death with hunger and io e so I set fire to a stack of straw in Pigwell-gelds —it's blaring now." Upon this startling information I hurried him to the station-house, and thence to the spot he had mentioned, which was not far distant, where I found a stack on fire, and nearly consume d. Ifir.W. Clarkson having deposed to the property belonging to kis cousin, at the address mentioned, Mr. Leigh asked the prisoner what motive he wished to assign for the commission of the act ; but Prisoner coolly replied, I have nothing to say ; and he was forthwith ordered to be fully committed for trial at the Cen tral Criminal Court. William Sark was charged with stealing 30/. worth of jewellery, under the following circumstances. Mr. Ceo. Dennis, hosier and glover, 20, Queen'svow, Pimlico, said that on Tuesday night, at a quarter past nine, be was in his shop, and saw the prisoner go up to Mr. Rees, Wye No. 19, and deliberately dashing his hand through a Wye sheet of plate glass, make • snatch at the contents of the window, and then run away. Witness pursued him a con. sidemble distance, bat fell, and he was taken by some one _ _ _ The ahopman to Mr. Dunkley, bootmaker, in the same row, baring spoken to similar facts, James Ha coachman to Dr. Cann, Parliamenteareet, Westminster, said he beard the glue break, and seeing the running, he punned him until he caught him at the get aer Post-ollice opposite Buckingham Palace. Mr. Alexander Rees, jeweller and watchmaker, 19, aem's-row, Pimlico, proved miming from his window chains and other articles to the value of 301., besides the damage of 101. to the plate glass. Rome of the hooks by which the chains had been suspended were left in the window, and a ticket (produced) which had been appended to an Albert chain, worth 3L, was found where the pri soner was taken. He saw the prisoner being pursued, and saw Mr. Dennis tripped up by one of the prisoner's companions. The police proved searching carefully along the track of the accused, but they found nothing relating to the robbery, with the exception of the ticket ; but there were some new building» where he was caught, and if a remand were granted the property might be found, and something learnt about the prisoner's antecedents. CRYSTAL PALACE COMPANY. The report of the directors to the eleventh ordinary general meeting, on 'the 19th instant, shows " that the in come for the year from all sources amounts to 120,6691. 19s. Bd., while the expenditure is 72,2611. 11a. Bd. leaving a Slams to the credit of revenue for the year of 48,4081. Bs. 2d. The directors invite the proprietors to compare these figures with those in the accounts for the previous twelve months ; for, by excluding the Handel Festival from last year's account*, it will be seen that the recisit for the peat year, as well as the gross profit on the year's working, show • aterial increase on the prerioue year, and this notwithstanding the very unfavourable wea ther during the past twelve months. To this balance of 48,4043/. Bs. 2d. must be added the reserve of 11,218/.151.5d. brought forward from October, 1859 ; making in all • sum of 59,6271. 3s. 7d. available for dividend. This sum the directors propose to divide in the following manner :—Pre , (areas dividend and interest on debentures and debenture stock for the year, 18.3401.25. sd. ; • dividend on the ordinary stock of 2 per cent. (being equiv alent to 2s. on each original abase), 20,0551. 13e. 9d. ; leaving • Wanes to carry forward of 11,2311. Is. sd. The total number of visitors during the year has been 1,531,951, being an increase of 147,788 on those of the previous twelve mouths ; and an improvement has taken place under all the beads of revenue arising from admissions. Such meetings as the distribution of the medals of the National Rifle Association at the concision of the Wimbledon match, the annual gathering of the Odd Fellows, and of the Foresters (this year amounting to the enormous number of nearly 69,000), show how the capabili. ties of the Palace are becoming appreciated, and abe how mashie it is for tiros gigantic assemblies. The additional dining.rooms, including a suite of private apartmenb, were opened to the public in the beginning of June. Tie total expenditure on this stablishment, including an entirely new kitchen with most commodious fittings and acommo dation, is 7,0001. This item it is proposed to charge to the head of capital, • step which "pears amply justified when it is stated that the rent received in the present year for these rooms is at the rata of 10 per cent. on the outlay, and assuming the additional capital to cost the company 6 per cent. to raise, th ere ia so immediate profit on the tran saction, apar t from the indirect benefit which cannot fail to arias from so important an addition to the attractions of the palace and the eon venience of visitors. The directors call attention to the important improvement in the receipts of the exhibitors' department, which more than maintain the advance noticed in former reports. The amount of rental this year, from general exhibitors, is 11,2701. 15s. 44., being an increase of 3,84)11. over the corresponding receipt in the previous year. At the same time a material improvement is apparent in the general character of the articles exhi bited. A marked progress has also been made hi the Pic ture Gallery, both in the works exhibited and in the amount of sales over those effected in previous years. The directors reflect with much satisfaction on the visit of the French Orphesists, underthe direction of M. Delved*, in June last. Notwithstamling the inclemency of the weather,and various unforeseen dillicultiee principally connected with the transport of so large a b ody of foreigners, the concerts proved highly successful, and afforded a great and unexpected pleasure to a large number of the English public, while, musically speaking, they more than answered every anticipation. The Men delsohn Festival, on the 4th day of May, was also in all respects of a most satisfactory character. Jt has been for some time apparent to the directors that the Exhibition of 1862 would be carried out, and they have not lost sight of the desirability of arranging with the Eisend Harmonic Society for a musical festival on the most magnificent scale in that year, to which a slight allusion was made iu a former report. Looking to the fact of the very large number of provincial and foreign visitor' likely to be then congregated in London, the directors feel that they are justified in anticipating • brilliant rises for such a festival, and they are therefore turning their serious attention to the morosely arrangements for its successful realisation. The special case arising out of the award of the late Mr. Robert Stephenson on the matters is dilemma between this company and the Brighton Railway Company. came on for argument last term, before the Court of Queen's Bench. Under the direction of the court the Brighton Company have paid the 3,500/. awarded by Mr. Stephen son as compensation for the non-construction of the in cline and hoist from the railway station to the floor of the building ; and all other matters which were the sub jects of reference remain in the same position as before, without prejudice to the right& of either company. Since the last meeting of the proprietors, sonic important events have taken place in connexion with the communication to the Palace. These are, first, the opening of the Victoria Station on the hat October, by which pre ssen are brought to and from the immediate neigh. bourbood of Buckingham Palace, Belgmveesquare, and the Parks ' • secondly, the opening of the London, Chatham, and Doverßeilway t , Canterbury ; and thirdly, the passing of an act to enable the same company to make a direct line from Beckenham through the hill to the north of the Palace, and thence by Dulwich to Farringdonatreet on the one hand, and Victoria station on the other. This railway com pany is pledged to apply to parliament for powers to con street a convenient branch from Dulwich to the front of the Palace. By this branch a direct communication will for the first time be opened between tho Palace and the crowded districts of Brixton, Camberwell, Ise., as well as the heart of the metropolis ; while, by the connexion of the Metropolitan Railway with the Farriugdou.street terminus, the districts north of London will also be enabled to enjoy with ease the advantages offered by the Crystal Palace. Five houses have been built by the company in Dulwich Wood, and let satisfactorily, at such rent& as to yield a net return of six per cent. on the outlay, in addi tion to • fair ground rent on the land occupied by each house. Arrangements have been made fur the erec. lion and tenancy of another house on the same terms. The opening of the educational classes during the present year has met with a large amount of support, and cann o t fed, in the opinion of the directors, to exercise au important influence oo the increase of the resident population which is so rapidly accumulating on all slim of the Palace, and which I annual , adding to the number of the visitors and meson ticket holders."
