The struggles here recorded are those of the Penny Cyclopedia, certainly the moat thoroughly national publication that his come from the prey during the present century. The work was conducted with great care and unsparing—although well applied— east; the public supported it not illiberally, yet so little remunerative has it been to its proprietor, that it was only by the exercise, of great patience and energy, and a heroic determination to keep faith with the public that Mr. Knight was able to bring it to a claw with undiminished excel lence, and consequently with no decrease of expendi ture. Why;then, has he had nothing but his labour for his pairs ? The answer le, that the sum, or a part of it, which should have been his rewa rd, has been dribbled it. to :he Treasury in the shape of excise duty on 'the enormous q4antity of paper on which the " Penny Cyclopedia" has been printed. Hers is the plain tale: — The " Penny Ccelopie lie" ant its Supplement were com pleted hi 1846. The two works contain 15,764 pages; gad the nuantity of paper required to produce • single copy is two reams, seek welphieg 35 lbs. At the period of its come pieties, the satire quantity of paper consumed in the work wee fifty ittowaad reams, the total weight of which amounted to ore minim seen hundred and fily thousand °wade. Of this weight 20.000 reams, or 700,000 lbs., paid the excise duty of 34. per lb., amounting to 8,7501.; and the remaining 30,000 reams paid the reduced duty of lid. per lb. (come mewing in 1837) thou 1,050,0001 M., amounting to 6,5621. The total duty paid up to the completion of the Cyclopedia In 1846 was 16.3124 Sines that period 2,000 reams of paper have beim used in reprinting, to correct the inequalities of the stock, mashies an addition of 70,000165, excised at 4371. Bat farther, the wrappers for the monthly parts have used 1,600 mania of paper, taxed at 5001., sad the gained boards mbinding the volumes have beta also taxed about ;a4:".Tta total payment to the excise by the Penny Cyclo pedia has been 16 5001. But this is tar from representing the whole loss: It is well known that the amount of a duty upon raw ma terial by no means represents the amount of the charge which it entails upon the manufacturer. Mr. M'Culloch and Mr. Porter rightly state that the pries for a ream of the particular sort of printing paper was in 1831, twenty-four shillings; in 1843, 8 teeth shillings and sixpence. From 1833 to 1837, the price of a ream of Penny Cyclopedia paper was thirty-three shil logs ; from 1838 to 1846, it was twenty-four slalom. The difference in price was nine shillings per ream ; the amount of reduced duty was four shillings and lourpcnce halspeney. The pepermakers and the stationers Jutsb!ed the tax. But even at the reduced rate it has been tatisfactoily shown by my fellow labourers, the Messrs. Chambers, that the duty enters enethird into prim. Unquestionably, if the duty were now removed, I could buy a Mall of similar ;Nor for seventeen shillings. The tax, preventing competition, and giving undue advant ages to capitalir's, had the effect of making me pay for say =from 1833 to 1837, sixteen shillings a ream more the price of untaxed paper would be, or sixteen thou sand pounds upon 20,000 reams; and from 1838 to 1846, seven shillings per ream more than I should otherwise have paid, which upon 50,000 reams amounts to ten thousand five hundred pounds. The tax therefore °per. ated as a barthen upon my publication to the extent of 26,5001., during its long and difficult progress to com pletion. The paper sine* used for reprints. and the paper for wrappen, has been raised in price 2,6001. by the same primer. The struggles of one book against executive taxation are, up to this plant, to be measure by a barters of 29,0001. Bat I have ant yet dose. The tax has been working against the "fenny Cyelapelist" for 17 years, in the chronic form of interest and comp , und interest. It was tery long before the periodical sale settled into a regular qoantity. The work became too extensive for the great bulk of purchasers. lot the first few months of the publication the sale war double what it was at the end of the MU year. The sale of the first year doubled that of tbe fourth year. The sale of the fourth year doubled thatof the eighth year; and thee it found its level, and became steady to the end, reduce.' !fun] 55,000 at the commencement, to 20,000 at the conclusion. Every publisher of a periodical work knows the accistaulation of stock that must inevitably ti.ke place with a falling demand. There idler Ste third year at which I had lees than 6,000 reams of the " Penny Cyclops tie" in my warehouse; si2on which day had beta paid, km some porno' at the high duty, sad ffig same at the low, averaging 1,6001. la 1841 there wen In sic warehouse 1,200 reams upon which the high May. impinun in 1437, Lad boos pail-sijc„„ii , tM luting interest in this larrestment, in signally pall day tip" dead stook, to have amounted in the othenteen gelan during which I Mee beet labourion to sell that sto to 1,6001, and in the interest upon the mitre prim charged kg the paper-manufacturer upon the duty to 3,0001. And here, then, will the usual concluitioa arise, that ths publisher hat not borne this load of thirty-two thousand pounds imposed by tae state urns the "Penny eyelop u gi ii ,” but the purchasers el the " Peony Clopedia." My an. ▪ Is very direct. Had that seal of 32.0001. been actually saved to ale, I should not have Wee a nand richer by the publication of the " Penny Cyclopedia.' The outlay wee so great, that it could never pay its espouse under a sole of 36,1/00 copies with the high duty. In** first Bre yeah that avenge number was printed; but the accumulation of stock locked up 10,0001. Under the lbw duty it pail its expenses at 30,400 copies. The actual average aisle during the nine mire of that daty woe 20,000. It would have required that there should haw both no paper duty at all to hare paid its npenees au a fah of 10,080. Bad the dusty net been re dosed by oico.h o u a s the end of 1636, 1 mold set by any lb thaw mirried ea the work. As it was, I straggled s. Not sly has the piper daty destroyed I& Knight's pest profits, but it cramps his prospective opelations. According to his computation fie can only supply the continued demand for the work (which averages 260 copies per annum) at a profit of 10 per cent. on the actual cost of reprinting= and, after the first cost for literary . contributions , woodcuts, and steriotyping has been paid for. without allowing interest on the immense capital sank on those items, and which, for literature and engravings, has amounted to 42,0001. The miss exactions on paper tend toedwiv the great Rum of the people of what they stand wet in need of—sound and whetter:one knowledge, and to supey them with which Mr. Knight hsalesa sueri fioed instead of rewarded. Neither is there any coun terbalancing good. What return does government make to the public for the small amount swain from the paper duties to the exchequer P Boras porboas of Mr. Knight's pamphlet are con vincing, and will we trust do sometbior towards • - impraglig on government that sound policy, not to mention justice, lies in immediately repealing the tax. At the same time we are bound to add, that some of Nir. Knight's estimates of the cost of printing and paper are high, and thews that he must have gone to very dear markets. FINE ARTS.

DRAMA. SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE. A new live act play, ander the title at a Retribu tion," was produced here last night, with unequivocal success. The author is Mr. George Bennett, the tra gedian. The play is by no means free from the con ventionalities of the modern stage. but they are never threat prominently forward, and are always made subservient to the chief points of interest, and although the incidents are comp lic a t ed, and there is too fre quent a reargues to antecedent., yet the plot is extremely interesting. a Retribution," is a talc of '" J Clavalien and Itcundh.- 4 - n - !.- " ise• • • • .. - —.Norma*. uegiesueniing power is shown in the development of the two characters, Baldwin and Blackbourn, and their vari one phuesare most artistically discriminated. Baldwin is a part by no means new to the stage,but the objects of his ambition are displayed with so much origi nality and dramatic effect as to give to the character the charm of novelty. Mr. George Bennett's Bald win was a ppooww ful piece of acting Mr. Phelps played Blaekbou rn with a rugged manliness, which, as opposed to the cowardice of his betrayer, won for him a large share of applause. At the end of the third act his performance was so powerful that Mr. Phelps was compelled to appear before the curtain at the clew of the 110864. Miss Glyn played with much feeling and energy. The other characters were very well filled. MR. BURFORD'S PANORAMA OF THE POLAR REGIONS. This panorama, which was opened to private view on Saturday, may be counted among the numerous successful efforts of this veteran in the scenic field. Neither time nor opportunity has been lost to keep pace with the interest with which the fate of the Arctic voyagers is invested and kept alive. by the de parture, a month since, of the very vessels here re presented, the Enterprise and the Investigator, and the probable departure of another expedition two months hence. There are two views of summer and winter, and the cheerfulness of the one is forcibly con trasted with the solemn gloom of the other. In bath the sent is admirable, though so dissimilar as to seem to Wag to different regions. In the summer one, the es” wandene over fantastic shaped icebergs and glacier belts; far as the eye can reach is a boundless ma of ice, with a solitary rocky promontory. Whilst the monotony of the tender greens and transparent Imes of these latitudes is pleasantly varied by the crimson brilliancy of sky, against which the fore ground peaks are relieved, its loneliness is broken by the imposing mass of the Enterprise, which the =crew are preparing to tow through pack and In the winter scene the massive hal's of both ships, so imbedded in snow as to preserve their caloric from the influence of the blast, form the pro minent features; the faint skimmer of the moon lights up group., some occupied in building a snow wall as a connecting link between the two vessels, whilst others are setting a fox-trap. A faint aurora borealis also Mangoes the hoary outline of North east Cape. It must have required almost as much courage as skill, in spite of bear-skin gloves, to sit down and draw these marvellous treeks of the glacial formation. Bat whilst the sailors thought of home, and chiselled monster heads of Wellington and Sault, Lieut. Browne, with his thoughts also home ward bound, was executing the designs which have been here skilfully furbished up. Though the mis chief is, that while the sublime is unveiled, the inevitable hardships which accompany the research are cloaked. Nevertheless, whatever may be the in centive power of other psnoramss to emigration, those who view this one will rest satisfied, and not be tempted out even by the promised comfart of the -ouimaux dress displayed as a specimen. MUSIC. ST. JAMES'S—OPERA COMIQUE. " Le Roi d'Yvetot," performed last evening by Mr. Mitchell's company, is the work of Adolphe Adam. 1 • It was originally produced at the OpBra Comique in 1842 with great succor and has ever since continued to be a favourite piece in the ripertoire of that theatre. Asa musical work this is ene of Adam's best operas. There is nothing profound or elaborate in it, and yet every part of it displays the skill of a consummate *edit. The principal airs, especially in the part of Jossetre, are of the parlante kind ; and so admirably are the words married to the notes that Chollet, when singing, was as lively and humorous, and gave as much clearness and point to the words, as when speak- 1 ing. In this attention to musical elocution the French comic composers greatly excel ours, who are generally so deficient in this respect that no care ; on the part of the singer can render an English comic , song Intelligible. Josselyn's first air, "Fides hon. 1 nears," is an admirable instance of this quality ; it is a ' pretty melody, and yet imposes no more restraint on the elocution of the very lively words than if they wire not sung at all. The little refrain at the end of each stanza, " Le bonlieur est la," is quite charm ing ; and the repetition of this burden as the general chorus at the very end of the opera has the effect of a delightful reminiscence. One of the finest things in the opera is the concerted piece in the second act, where Joatelyn, cur- , rounded by his new subjects, yields to their entreaties to accept the sovereignty. It is highly dramatic, and has some traits of delicious melody ; the passage, especial ly , where Josselyn exclaims with a burst of feeling, N'heritons plus! o'est le ciel qui rordonne," produced peals of applause from every part of the house. An equally great . effect attended the concerted piece in the third act, in which Chollet sang the ballad "Il 'ask un roi d'Yvetot," a quaint and beautiful imitation of the old French ballad poetry and music. It is in these and other concerted fts• that the principal beauties of this opera are found. 11is airy, with the exception of those sung by Chollet, are not very remarkable, sal, on this occasion, most of them were omitted. We could have wished, how ever, that Jagrintisn's air, Je we sate plus," at the beginning of the second act had been retained, as it is very characteristic, and Mdlle. Onichard was quite able to do it justice. Indeed her singing throughout the opera was as good as her acting. The clever duet in which Jeannetote, producing a roll of paper as long as Leperello's, begins to read a list of the royal household which she has organised, was a piece of rich comedy which convulsed the house with laughter. Altogether this is as pleasant an opera as Mr. Mitchell has yet produced, and none has met with a warmer reception. The theatre was crowded, and r the boxes and stalls were filled with fashionable com- Piny. ST. MARTIN'S HALL, The first publicperformanoe ----- in this new =Nic kell took place last night, when much interest was excited by the production of a new festival anthem, composed by Mr. Henry Leslie. To follow the order of the programme, however, we must first speak of Mendelssohn's sacred caststs, " Lauds Sion," with which the selection commenced. This great work has been already noticed by us, and we need only now seeped our satisfaction with the performance of last night. The chorus deserves praise for steadi ness and truth of intonation, *idle the orchestra, under the able leadership of Mr. Willy, gave every effect to the delicacies of Mendelssohn's elabo rate instrumentation. The solos were well delivered by Miss Birch and Mr. Benson. A fine old air from an oratorio by Haase, was chastely sung by Miss Dolby; after which was given the unaccompanied motett for bass solo and chores, " Methinks I hear the full celestial choir," one of the best compositions of Dr. Crotch. Mr. Seguin sustained the solo part in his usual careful style, and was well supported by the chorus, saving a little occasional timidity in taking up points, unguided by say accompaniment. A rather feeble sir from Handel 's " Jeptha," agreeably sung, however, by Miss Rainforth, led to one of the chief features of the evening—Mr. Leslie's anthem, which concluded the first part. This is a work of ambitions design ; being con stricted on the grand scale adopted by Mendelssohn is his Psalms, "As puts the Hart," " Whim Israel," &e. In like manner Mr. Leslie's work is scored for greed orchestra and chorus ; midis divided into many movements, some being for solo voices. It demailds no ordinary power to wield such materials with sumo, even in secular composition, but when the composer takes his text from the highest of all sources. he must possess something beyond the mere mechanism of his art. There is no test so severe for a ecmposer u sacred composition. Mediocrity cannot pass muter here—nothing short of an oruanal and sublime imagination can produce skim& of any permanence. We shall defer all cri- Wel examination of Mr. Leslie's anthem, until it comes before us in a published feels. Meanwhile we may bear testimony to the talent and 'tithing's= of the composer; and specify , as the move meats which pleased us moat in the performance, a tenor, solo, and dust, for soprano and tenor.

Mr. Hunfrey and Mr. Keuneth Macauley appeared for the plaintiff . Mr. Macaulay, in the emptiest? absence of Mr. Haughey, addressed the jury, and stated that it was an scion brought by the husband of a lady known in the thea trical world as Mies Julia Harland, to recover from Mr. John Medex Maddox, the lessee of the Prin cess's theatre, the amount of six wekks' salary, An agreement had bees entered into by which Ilia Har land was engaged as prima donna, end to play ia musical farms not burlesques, in the season of 1848.49, at a salary of U. a week. She bad appeared mu or twice in the character of Wilhelmina, in " The Waterman," which no deubtcause within the range of characten she had engaged to play,when, from some motive or other, Mr. Maddox substituted Miss Emma Stanley for her. In April, no doubt wish-' ing to get rid of Miss Harland, he wrote a letter to her husband, to the effect " that he had ' before refrained from complaining of the in cap ability of Miss Harland to do the badness for which she had been engaged, that he was obliged to take away the part of Madge Wild. firs from her at Mr. Loder's representation, and pcstpose the opera of " The Heart of Mid Lothian," at a time when novelty was required ; and that the opera of " Marie " had been withdrawn in consequence of the disapprobation of the ' audience to her ; and two composers age had new ' operas had stipulated that she should not sing in them. He therefore could not continue her engagement. Mr. Hoskins, however, held him to his engagement, and the next step he took was as follows. By a rale of the theatre, if an actor did trot appear in a part, sad afeediee person was enp'oyt“, they were to forfeit a cutsks esseent of salary, or their engagement might be camellia It was of course expected when an actor was suspended teem a pert, and afterwards replaced in it, notice was to be glees to them. Oa 17th April, Miss liarland's name was pat is Om bills to play Wiffs-larina instead of Miss Stanley, and she mould not have known of it but by accident. She, however, went to the threat:a dressed toe the part, but en order basins been given to omit the music, she refuse' to set, and on this pre text Mr. Maddox cancelled her engagement, and refused to pay her salary for the rest of the season. Miss Emma Stanley was called, and stated that the " Wa terman" was a ballad opera, and Irillielaeisa the principal part, which she had performed. Miss Harland took the port when she became prima donna of the theatre, and that it was taken from her and given to the witness. She MS sifted in April again to give up the part. Notice was always expected to be given to the other performer on such air nous. Miss Harland, on the 17th April. was in the bills to play. Witness was desired by Maddox to be at the theatre early. Miss Harland was dressed for the pert. Witness was afterwards asked by Maddox to take the part. The part was as frequently performed by a prime donna as a singing actress. if the musk was cut out, it was not a put fur a prima donna. Witness performed it with the music In utsnexerninatios, she stated that she sang one int:e dged nag, and not the original main—a modem moat. New beard Miss halted say she was hired. It was expested that performers should look at the bills every seseast Mr. Fenton, the promptor, proved that the bills of 17th April were put out in the morning, He knew of ac message being sent to Mill Harland that she was to play the part of Wu/minima. He received a letter from her that evening ; he gave it to Mr. Maddox. He knew Miss Harland did not play the part. He inserted in the minute.book a note to the effect that Miss Harland refused her part unless she sang the music, and left the theatre. Mims Staaley played the pert, and was allowed to sing one song. He sever knew the part played without the mune. In cross-examination, he raid btdlle. Nan was then. She was prima donna. Mies Poole was there too, and Miss Rafter; he considered them prima donnas. A prima donna would only play in the " Waterman" as a matter of ' mertegy, not of right. The call-boy proved that he took a message to Miss Har land: that hrr songs in the " Waterman" were cut out. She said if such a thing took place, her husband had desired her not to go on. He knew she was now engaged at the Grecian Saloon, City-road. Miss Murray, an actress, was at Sullen Wells Theatre on 17th April. Saw Mr. Hoskins the plaintiff, there on that night, and told him she saw kiss Harland's name in the bills for Wilkassiria. An actor at Sadler's Wells proved that ha went with the plaintiff to his house, and told Miss Harland she waa in the bills. He knew her when she was called Miss Julia Wal lach. Abe was the daughter of Henry Wallach. He remem bered her at Simila's Richard Marsh, an actor at Sadler'. Well., under the name of Huston, never knew the part of Wilhainsian with out musk. itTeliafter--Wee a prima donna at Drury-lute. Never knew the part at Wahelmina played althea' the music by Mager. Mr. D e eggen, ohms-master at the Primmer, gave similar wido. The letter of the Gth of April was road. The answer was &homed, Warring to the arts/nes of agreement, and stating the plaintiff 'a intention to abide by them. Mr. Sergeant Wilkt.. (with whom was Mr. !loggias and Mr. Winston) addressed the jury for the defendant, and urged that Miss flatland contracted with the defendant in two characters, as prima donna and also in musical farces.

Mr. Beduin Musing and another learned gentlemen were weasel for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Cockburn, (3.C. , with whom was Mr. Wordsworth, represented the defendant. The was an motion brought by one of the vicars choral of St. Panes Cathedral, against the defendant, who wee also • vicar choral of St. Pink's, and who Mien the aMes of votes tiary of the nears choral, to mover his share of 1,1001., pan of the manual of a fine sayable to the vicars aboral of St. Paul's, upon their khan In the grant of a lease of certain freehold property, si tuated at Steeple Sumpetead, In Burn. It appeared that the revenues of the nun choral consisted partially et Saes paid en freehold property &sated on Ludgate-hill, at Steeple Buagetead, in Beau, and at Halstead, also in Esser. In this property the dean and chapter, the minor canons. and the virus choral were interested. In the month of July, 1848, the vicars choral and the minor tenons granted to • certain party • lease of the property at Steeple Bump stead, in Besse, upon which occasion the sum of 1,1001. was that part of the flee paid to the vicars choral, but the plain tiff did not receive his share on the ground that as he was fernier hie year of probation, it being customary for vicars choral to serve • twelvemonth before the were fully appointed to the office of visor choral, he did not join in granting the lease, and wee not, therefore, entitled to any share of the fine paid on the eccesioss. To trove the plaintiff's case evidence both oral and docu mentary was produced, and it was endeavoured to be shown that inasmuch as In the year 1748, • person, named Savage, who was then a vicar choral in his probationary year, had joined is c canting a leak*, and had received a share of the flee, the *ntiff was entitled to receive a sixth part of the 1,1001. he books in which the matters relating to the vicars choral were entered, were produced, and it appeared that Savage and another vicar choral, named Was*, had not been fully admitted as Tide, choral until some years after they had served their probationary year. Mr. Cockburn, for the defendant, in his 'Adria to the jury, read an extract from the books of the vicars' choral, from which it appeared that the general practice for a cen tury had been for • vicar choral, who was serving his pro. bationary year, not to join in any lease, or to naive any part of the tine paid in respect of the lease. With regard to the cases of tee two vican' choral, Savage and Wass, the learned counsel remarked that it had been discover.d that a mistake had been made, for in the moath of March, 1762, when a lease was about to be granted, the very same day that it was granted, Savage and Was. were fully admitted as vican' choral, so that they might properly join in the demise and receive their where of the fine. It the defendant was liable, it was contended that he was not liable for more than his own share of the fine which he had received. At the conclusion of the learned counsel's speech it was agreed that a nominal verdict should be taken (or the plain tiff, and that the case should be turned into • special can, liberty being given to either side to insert in the special case any extracts from the books of the choral vicars they might think tit; and the question whether if the defendant was liable at all, he wan liable beyond the amount of his own shire, should also be raised by the special case. our report of the MSS of " Colombine v. Penbsll," which appeared in the Express of Saturday last, it was erroneously stated that the amount received by the official assignee of the plaintiff, who had been made a bankrupt, was 92,00 W., it ought to have been 921. COURT OF EXCHEQUER-YESTERD♦Y. NEU PLIES—Um' $ll F. NUDES. C. 8., ♦MD ♦ MIDDLES'S $P CI. JEST. BULL IP. B♦xtiN.—Taovza POIL ♦ DUMMIED WM'S PIANO, &C. _ Mr. Crowder, QC., end ?dr. Miller were counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. Serjunt Wilkins =a Mr. Hoggine for the defendant. . This was, as already stated, an action of trover to recove. the value of a pianoforte, a writing dark, valued at 14 guineas, and various other articles, alleged to have been the property of the pleietiff's late wife during her life time. The case was tried in 1843, before Mr. Baron Platt, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff with 501. damages. A rule for a new trial was subsequently obtained on behalf of the defendant, on the ground that the verdict was against the weight of evidence, and that the learned Baron reported his &math faction at it. The present trial commenced on Saturday and occupied the greater part of this day, hating upon the former occasion occupied two entire days. It appeared the plaintiff, who at one time kept a circulating library at Albion-place, Hyde-park, and his brother, a butcher in the seme neighbourhood, eloped with the defendant's two daughters in Sept, mber, 1846. They were married without the defendant's consent, at dith rent churches, on the same day, and no reco..eiliation afterwards took place until a day or two before the death of the plaintiff's wife, which occurred in January, 1818, in ker confinement. The defendant, who was a widow, called upon her daughter a day or two before her death and forgave her. It appeared Mrs. Bull was an excellent performer on the piano, and in 1831, when she was only eight years of age, her graadmother, a Mrs. Davis, then 73 sears of age, with whom the defendant and her family lived, purchased the piano in question for her, and paid 150 guineas for it. The writing desk was also a gift purchased for the plaintiff's wife, and given to her many years before her marring'. No demand Was made for those or the other articles which farmed the subject of the action until some months after the death of the plaintiff's wife. A formal demand was then made, and ultimately the present proceedings were commeno d in May, 1848. Mrs. Davis died in 1836, saving bequeathed all her pr iperty, which was very censiderable, to her daughter, the defendant. Several witnessu • deposed that the pi no was for the exclusive use of the plaintiff's wile; that she alwajs kept the key of it, and that another instrument bad been purchased for her younger sister, who was not ro good a musician. The other ahicaes were also described as the property of Mrs. Bull. On the part of the defendant it was contended that the piano, Sec., were her property, and that her daughter had never any exclusive right to them. In support of this view of the case, the fact was relied on that no claim whatever had been made by the plaintiff until some time after hie wife's death ; and after the rule for the present trial was obtained he wrote a letter to the defendant, throwing the entire blame of having brought the action upon his father aad brother, and soliciting some assistance from the defendant to enable him to leave the coantry, as his eireamst incise were embarrassed. The Lord Chief Baron, summing up, said that twice as much money had been lavished in litigatien as would be necessary to purchase two pianos and the other articles sought to be recovered. It was most painful to see such earns squandered in legal proceedings; and he could not help saying that if there had been the ordinary good feeling which belongs to • moral or religious education such an action es this would n • have been brought. The question for the jury was, whether the articles mentioned were the property of the plaintiff's wife during her lifetime, so as to justify him in bringing this action. The jury retired to consider their verdict, and in half an lieu, they returned. The foreman stated that they had Kited to a verdict for the plaintiff for 150 guineas, the of the piano, and 14 gaieties for the desk. The Lord Chief Baron reminded the jury that the piano had been purchased 16 years sgo, and it could not be now as valuable as it was originally. The foreman said the jury had agreed to their verdict for the amount stated, as they had no evidence of the value of the property. The learned Judge, after a short discussion, directed the jury to reconsider the matter. They accordingly retired, ant'. in ten =luaus returned their verdict for the plaintiff— with 801. damages. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-YESTERDAY. Byrom Ha. CurioFloss' HOIXOTD. IN AS GIBBON AND BTORT. r TIIII ST. ALBANS AND HR The following is continued from our yesterday's report of the proceedings in this case. Mr. Cutbill sate he thou.ht the hank was covered, with about 1,0001. to spare. The property had only realised 3,6351. —shout half the valuation. Of the bills discounted by them, above 2,0001. worth had turned out had. The general result of Mr. Walker's statement was, that the liabilities of the bank were 13,6731., and the auets 11,4031. ; in this latter sum wu included my debt of 4,2.001. Supposing this good, the bank was still in a deficiency of 2,2101. A long di.cuselon lure arose between Mr. Lawrence and Mr Unklater, as to 'he peeper mode of stating the deficiency ; on which his Honour observed that it was not so much a question as to the precise amount of the figure., as to whether there had been any wilful misrepresentation to the creditor.. Examination continued—l undoubtedly stated to the creditors that my private estate would be more than eutfieient to elver the defici. icy. We believed so at tho time. Mr. Beible's status. nt showed the bank deficiency to be above 6,0001. I wilt not swear whether Kind: is bill for 7501. was included in our statement of the bank property. I cannot pledge myself to accounts which I do not understaad. During 1614, 46, and 46, my expenditure did not exceed 7671. a ]ear ; but when I began to borrow money on mort gage, I boom I was ruined with interest.

Regan was charged with having uttered a piece of paper purporting to be a note for 61. of the Exeter, Somerset, Leith, and Ireland Bank, which is not in existence, to F. Wentworth, the shopman of Stow and Co., tailors and oetfitters, of No. 142, Minorite. Mr. Wentworth said on Saturday afternoon the prisoner and another man came into the warehouse to purchase a coat, for which the prisoner agreed to give 16e. ed., tendering at the same time the note in question. I had not change enough in my peassmion, and I went out and soon ascer tained that then was no banking-house of the name. On my return I took sere to have the assistance of two police men at hand. Upon pine; into the warehouse I was asked by the two men whether Chad got the change. " No;" said I, " It was nonsense to think that I could get change of such • note." " What ?" said the prisoner, "do you mean that there is no such bank ?" " Certainly," said I, " and you knew that well before you came here," and then I gave him into the custody of the policemen, but his confederate man aged to get away. When I handed over the note to one of the oMmrs, the prisoner get hold of it, tore a piece off the corner of it, made it up like a pill, and endeavoured to swallow it, but was prevented. The prisoner-1 took the note for a good one in payment of cigars which I sold to a man, and it mu the policeman who tore it in snatching it from me while I was examining it with him. Alderman Carden—But why did you try to swallow it if you thought it genuine ? The prisoner—l never had a morsel of it in my mouth. Alderman Carden—Why did; your companion make his ear ape when he found that there was a question about the note ? The prisoner— i can't say why he left me in the difficulty. The policeman who apprehended the prisoner said tne prisoner swore the note was as good as gold, but he 'mild have gulped it down if I had not taken him by the throat. The prisoner was then committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE CAPTURE OF GAMBLERS IN JERILYN-STREET.— All the individuals taken last week in an alleged common gambling-house, known as the Strangers' Club, 119, Jeri:qu eued, were in attendance at the court to learn the decision of the magistrates. Mr. Bingham having requested that some three or four of the delendanta should be summoned into court, then pro ceeded to give the following decision: Mr. Bingham—The defendants have been brought to this court, one of them as the keeper of • common gaming -house, the others as persons found therein without lawful excuse. It appears that a superintendent of police, acting under the commissioners' order, repaired to the house in question at night, when a person on the outside made a sigual to those within by coughing and throwing a missile at the window. The superintendent immediately caused the outer door to be forced open, but found another door within constructed of iron, and so firmly secured, that the process of breaking it open would have occupied a quarter of an hour. After some time, however, that door was opened by a person within, and the police, on proceeding up stairs, found the defendants apparently taking refreshment. There was a table in the room covered with a black varnished cloth and a backgammon board. No cards, dice, or any implements for gaming were discovered, but there was • square mark on the varnished cloth that corresponded with the size of a itie. From the precaution taken to barricade the house, and to give reties of the approach of the police, no doubt can be entertained that the persons within were engaged in some unlawful pursuit, and the grounds for suspecting that they were engaged in gaming are so strong, that the commissioners were fully warranted in making thu attempt to ob.ein the evidence necessary to establish the offence. But neither a magistrate nor a jury can be justified in proceeding to a conviction upon mere suspicion, however strong, and there is nothing in the evidence before me to show unequivocally that this house is • common gaming house, or that the defendants were engaged in gaming. A solicitor who attended on behalf of the owners of the house broken into, applied to Mr. Bii gham to inform him where the documents were upon which the police had founded their proceedings. He contended that Vie police bad acted illegally by breaking into the house and by wantonly destroying furniture in it. Mr. Bingham peremptorily refused to give the least assistance which might have the effect of furthering any ulterior proceedings, which the persons whom he represented might have in view, and expressed an opinion that the defendants should consider themselves fortunate in having escaped Conviction. IHFOUTANT DECISIOW.—THE PICCADILLY SALOON.— The alleged proprietor of the Saloon, Piccadilly, a person named Beale, attended by his professional adviser, to bear the decision of the bench with reference to a summons oli mined against him by the police, for " knowingly permitting common prostitutes to meet and remain in his be use." 1. was proved that there was neither drunkenness nor disor derly conduct visible in the saloon at the time. Mr. Engham's decision was to the effect, that the evi dence adduced established the fact that the defendant was guilty of " knowingly " permitting females of bad charge ter to assemble in his establishment, and also that he was liable to a line for so doing, notwithstanding that the meet ing was in all other respects an orderly one. Only a nominal fine, however, was indicted, as the de fendant had declared his intention to be to appeal to a higher tribuaal against an to:eerie decision. Notice of ap peal was given immediately subsequent to the delivery of this judgment.
