This was au action brought by the plaintiffs, who were Sht4iffs of London; against the Merida-It, who is an attorney. to recover the sum If. 1861. Ss. paid by them to Mr. Wade, another attorney:- Mr. POLLOCK stated the plaintiffs case, from which it appeared that the defendant had-liken out a friendly execution upon a warrant of attorney given by a person of the name of Rowley, to anticipate another execution threatened by Bounce, a creditor of Rowley. That Mr. Wade, who was also a creditor, suspecting it was a friendly execution, went to Rowley's house, and found in officer of the Sheriffs who knew the circumstances, Upon which he brought an action against the plaintiffs. aad recovered the amount of his debt. Mr. EVANS appeared for the -defendant. and con tended that if the plaintiffs paid money, knowing all the facts, they could not recover it from his client: it was very certain the Sheriffs officer was acquainted with all the circumstances of the case. Lord TENTS/EDEN, in addressing the Jury, left this point for their consideration—Did the plaintiffs know all the facts their officer was acquainted with ? If they did. their verdict must be for the defendant; if not, it must be for the plaintiffs. The Jury, without retiring. found a verdict for the plaintiffs.—Damages 1861. 35. SAIIRITT O. DMZ. This was an action brought by a wine-merchant, against a Gentleman of property residing in Berks, to recover 71. 14s. the amount of his bill. It was admitted that the wines were delivered, and U. Bs. was paid into Court, so that 61.65. was the sum is dispute. The defence was, that the amoont.clairatd had been already paid, and a servant of the defendant's swore that Ire bud gone"to the plaintiff's counting house, and paid the sum to a cleft sitting inside the counter, and who turned to an account book. and gave a receipt signed James Young, for Barrett and to. The plaintiff proved that he never had a clerk in his' employment of the Dune of Young, and that his receipts were never given in the name of; Barrett and Co. Lind Tairraanas told the Jolty. that If they believed the witness for the defendant, they must find against the plaintiff.. It was no matter whether the plaintiff bad a clerk named Young; if a person sat in the counting. howe representing a clerk, his acts must be considered those of the plaintiff himself, as it was not likely that be would allow an improper person to. have the care crisis counting house.—Verdict SW the defendant. • COURT.OF COMMON PLEAS, Gammas, JOLT lA., lIANSTIIIDS AND OrItIIRS V. WILSON AND OTUNRS. his was an action brought by the owners of the Jpno. burden 180 tons, against the owners of the Al e rt, a Leith and Berwick smack, to recover a compensation fee,the loss of the former, which had been run down in consequence of the neglect of those on board the litter. The facts were these :—On the 16th of January last the Juno left London on a voyage to Shield., and on the 20th arrived off Whitby, in Yorkshire. At 'five o'clock on the morning of the 20th the Alert was descried ahead, bearing towards them in a direct course. The wind at this time was west, the Juno sailing N.N.W. and the Alert S. by W. The 111111Stef of the Juno hailed the Alen, and (leaned the crew to put their helm a-lee, at the same time ordering his own crew to put his helm a-weather. If these attractions had been followed by theAlert,the ships would have passed each other safely; but. for some reason, the master of the Alert bore straight on until within a very short distance of the Jaw, .when, instead of putting his helin i-lee, he put it a-weather, and ran foul of the Joao on the larboard bow. Both - vessels were entangled, and in danger of going down ;the Alert, however,freed heft* from the danger. bat the Juno sunk in about five or ala• miasma after she was struck; her crew escaped millaserd the Alert. 'Us owiserahip'of both.yeseels was admitted; the KM of the Juno confirseed.the statement of the Learned Counsel; and other persons . were called, who Statedr, that as the Juno was sailing dose-hauled. it was she duty of the Alert, who had a. free wind. to have given way. The defeats, was, that the accident had not alba. fro. ally neglect of those on board the Alert, but saw tber front the want of skill of\the master of the Juno; and witnesses were called who swore that w hen t h e id* first came in sight r (each other, the Alert was to the leeward, and notto the wind ward of the Joao. aa had been stated by the witnesses on the other side; and that Consequeotly it would have been impossible for her to live passed the Juno. if she bad done as the master of that ship was said to hive directed. It was swore positively that a good watch was kept on board the Alert, mud that she would have passed safely to the leeward. hi not the master of the Juno most imprudently put his helm to the weather, whiefiltad the effect of driving his ship on board the Alert, and causing the mischiet now complained of.—Several witnesses were called, who stated that the Alercwas perfectly correct in going to leeward,, and that the Juno was wrong to have al tered her course, it being a role of the sea, that a ship sailing by the wind should keep on her course, and that a ship with the wind free should give way. The LOAD CHIU JUSTICE told the Jury that . if they thought, from the evidence on the part of the defen dant, that the Alert was to the leeward instead of the wiudward and if they were of opinion that it was a tale of the sea that a vessel in such a position should ceatipee bet. goons to the leeward. the defendants wa les pe esaitkai to a verdict t but if they wets of a cogency opiaioo, for the plaintiffs.—Verdict for the defends. ; POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION.IIOIUSIL A young man, named GeoroLoyfaaurne, was 'trough§ up charged' under the following circumstance, : . . . • . Mr. Rd t hbone, attorney • of the Old Jewry, stated, that on rriday List he missed a frock coat from his chambers. On Saturday. be tween four and five In the afternoon, be hbard some person coming up stairs, and suspecting that whoever be was he did not come upon business, witness opened the door just as tile prisoner Was knocking, land asked what was his business? He replied, that be was come to present a bill to a person named Wittal, and that he had been sent by Mr. Messon i of Abchurch.lane. Witness insisted upon accompanying him to Mr. )`lesson, and as soon as he found that it was all a trick, collared him. The prisoner. broke away, and ran as hard as he could. Aldred, the street-keeper, of Thames-street, however, upon hearing the cry of " Stop thief!" by a very t reat effort caught him. Aldred stated, that he took the prisoner to the wstchbouse in Walbrook ward, when. prim searching him, he found a jemmy and two pkeleton keys. The prisoner had in his hat two handkerchiefs, and in his pocket a duplicate for two silk umbrellas and a catalogue of the last indigo sales. It was proved that this catalogue bad been left in a private part of the India House the day before the prisoner was apprehended, and that the umbrellas had been pawned by .the prisoner. The Loan Maroa observed, that it was evident the prisoner was a general dealer in robberies, for he was prepared for all sons. He was as ready to pick a pocket as to break open a homer. In the hope of getting a case against him, his Lordship remanded the prisoner. Two lads named Burgess and Higgins were charged with forgery. It appeared that on Saturday afternoon the prisoner Higgins pre. sented a draft for 351. purporting to be signed by one of the firm *of Messrs. Borradaile and Co. to Messrs. Curtis and Co. but the clerk suspecting it to be a forgery, questioned Higgins upon the subject, snd he ' after much prevarication, said be had received it from the other boy, Burgess, who was waiting outside. Burgess had been discharged from Messrs. Borradalle's employ, and had not received any instructions to present the check in question.— The prisoners were remanded. GUI LDHA LL. Peasant or LITSILVTUR Williom Davison, a young man,whose appearance bespoke Ms calling and by distress was charged with lurking about the Temple. for the purpose of begging, and deliver ing begging letters to the residents. Ile bed been 'repeatedly or. dered to go away by the porters, and we t s found on one of the staircases, with a begging letter, addressed " Mr. C. Jones, Esq." The letter, addressed to Mr. Jones, was banded in ; and it was regarded as a curiosity, inasmuch as it was set forth to be from the pen of " a young man well versed in all classical pursuits of ancient and modern literature." and who bad " Written for nearly all the literary periodicals." The letter commenced thus— Sta—lt is with the utmost importance, and deep regret. I now take the liberty of writing to you these few lines, merely, I add, to explain to you at once With the real eaters of my dis tress, of which, I have no doubt, will bane all description that ever manifested itself In writing." The writer proceeds, in the same clanksl way, to state that he is • by profession. when in occupation, a clerk." or law writer; that owing to the badness of the times be is "quite, quite destitute of having in his pos. mission a single halfpenny;' that "nothing can be more shock ing, or more worse, than being at times in danger of starva tion," and that, "of all the evils now existing in the, World, poverty absolutely beats them all; in short, poverty to a man of genius and talent, brings him to a state bordering es that of mad ness. Loi misery, ruin, despair; and jhadly in the end, I add death." There was a great deal more about t he nature of poverty in gesterelly, and his poverty in pareicsteriy, concluding with a request that Mr. Jones would favour him with " a positive answer and filial result in reply," and "overlook the defects In his letter, as it was written is very great haste, and unputectssekif." Whatever confidence the prisoner had in his skill in consposi don, he seemed to have none as to his elocution. He said Utile, and his account of.hlmself was so unsatisfactory, that Mr. Alder 's= Ceaseless resnanded bias that the porters of the Temple might wace whether he bad obtabeed'alms in any instance. HATTON—GARDEN. Mien rely, a nymph of the PaVe,was charged with stabbing a watchman, named Jordan. the preceding night. The prisoner was engaged in a row, in Chick-lane, on Sunday night, from which she was conveyed by complainant to the watchlsome. On the way, however, she stabbed him twice in the abdomen • and upon his arrival at the watchbouse he fainted from the lot s of blood. A medical Gentleman who dressed his wettest', remounted them to be el a very lesions nature, and the ramose leas remanded. MA RT-.1.A-.IION NE. aka Dwyer, an old offender. was charged with pot stealing. He' had secreted a pint pewter pot in the crown of his hat, at the Nightingale, in Lissoa-grove, oa Sunday morning, and attempted to walk away with it; but, ha conduct having been observed, be was apprehended at the door, with the stolen property in his pm sessiou, and was fully committed for trial. QUERN-SQUARE. Byers and his men Rawlins and Martin appealed to support several informations against coach proprietors. The first case was allaMat Mr. Horne, proPrietor of the coach No. 8,076, for carrying more inside passengers dials expressed in his license. Mr. Gaseous, addressing Byers, said that he thought It useless to go into the case, for, eves if e,onvicted, k would have no effect, as a Bill had passed b oth the Houses of Lords and Commons, and only waited the Royal Assent, which would take the power out of the informer's hands to lay informations. Byers—Really I was not aware of that. Mr. Gaanomr.—l have seen the Bill. Byers still wi.bed the case to be heard, which was at last cons. plied with, and Alartin having proved the case, Dlr. Horne was convicted in the penalty of £2O. Byers then wished for a distress warrant, but the Magistrate ob served that on the eve of an Act of Parliament pas,lng, heabould not comply.—The other cues were then adjourned rill Monday. The new Act will completely ruin the informers' trade, as all the quirks and quibbles will be completely done away, and the only cases with which they will he able to meddle is an tetra number of outside passengers, and too much luggage. WORSHIPSTREF.T. Jevantis Committer— Mr. White, tatnbour-worker, of Pa- radise-row, liethnal•grcen, on Saturday, brought up nine of his female apprentices, the eldest not more than fifteen, on a charge of combination. It appeared that they bad no complaint to make of their treatment, but that a pew was provided tor them to attend Divine Worship on the Sabbath. day. This they thought a hard ship, urging that as they were confined the whole week, they ought to have their own range on Sundays. The Magistrate remonstrated with them on the impropriety of their conduct, and they appeared compliant ; but on the nest day they took the sulks, refined their food, and appeared so contuma cious, that Mr. White thought it necessary to bring them up again, when the Magistrate found it incumbent to commit three of them to the tread-mill; and so anxious were the others to share the fate of theft leaders, that the officers had much difficulty to get them into coaches, to return to their residence. A new and spacious Police-office is to be erected in St. Martin's-lane, under the appellation of" Bow-street West." It will COMIII,DCO at the Outer of Chandos sueet, and will extend as far as Vine-street. Saturday morning a thief contrived to enter, 'gaper ceived, the Bath Hotel, Piccadilly, and • alked off with a silver tea and coffee pot, a pint tankard, and some sPT‘ Morris Ley, 15 yeare of age, was drowned on Sun day evening, while bathing in the eat:Odell-town Canal. His body was in about half an hrur conveyed to the York and Albany Tavern, near the spot, where every means were taken to testote animation, but without effect. Dsvowroar, JULY 12.—Last night, the coast guard man stationed:at .rott.)Nrinkle, about six miles from this post, seized 48 tubs of foreign spirits, from a pasty of smugglers who were running the goods near a place called Down Derry.

On the plains of Maida he distinguished himself in command of the 78th regiment, and by his gallant conduct on several occasions he has won various British and foreign Orders ; hut the chief part of his service has been seen in the brave 42d High landers, with whom he has shared the honours and perils of most of their achievements in the late wars. Gen. STIWART is an author favourably known to the literary world by his Hist try of the Highland Clans, and of the original formation and exploits of the Highland Itegi ments. He is, besides, a patron at the Arts, and a man of distinguished scientific attainments. Under these circumstances, we cannot help thinking him well qua lified for the civil appointment which his Majesty bas been advised to confer upon him. OILANDi PROCIGSSIONS IN IRILAIID.--The Lord Lieutenant of Leland has adopted such steps as would operate to prevent Orange processions in the North of Ireland on Saturday last, the 12th of July. A circular letter was transmitted in the early part if last week to the different fligli Sheriffs of those counties where such processions generally take place. The circular stated, that in consequence of a communication made to the Irish Government, representing that breaches of the public peace and disturbances would be likely to ensue should such processions take place, and that in conse quence his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant requested that the Sheriffs would intimate to the different magis trates of the county the-wish of the Government, that in the first instance they should use their influence to dissuade such persons as might be inclined to form these processions from doing so; and the circular pointed out to the magistrates that they were authorized, in case-of riot, to call in the aid of the military to assist the police, but at the same time to act with due for bearance ; and it also directed that the military or po lice, if called out, sto uld not be left at any time with out the superintendence of one magistrate at least. .. The people of Co - thin .Ciiina have a very singular fancy in regard to eggs. Mr.CSAUFWin, after describip part of an entertainment at the house of a person of high rank, says—" One of the Cochin Chinese dsinties served up on this occasion ought not to he omitted: it con sisted of three bowls of hatched eggs. When we ex. pressed some surprise at the appearance of this portiosk of the repast, one of our Cochin Chinese attend - anti observed with much naivete, that hatched eggs formed a delicacy beyond the reach of the poor, and only adapted tot persons of distinction. On inquiry, we, la fact, found that they cost some thirty per cent. more in the market than fresh ones. It seems they always form a distinguished part of every greet entertainment; and it is the practice, when invitations are given out, to set the hens to hatch. The tete takes place about the tenth or twelith day from this period—the eggs being then ::onsidered as ripe, and exactly in the state most agree able to the pal.ste of a Cochin Chinese epicure." • FEMALE Docrott.—A short time tince, a diminutive, aged, and decrepit woman, whose hie had been passed in the service of the camp, appeared before the Tr ibis aal at Paris, charged with illegally practising Medicine. and as suspected of caning the death of M. Vanguy, and anther person, by her unscientific prescriptitms.— Oo being called upon for her deknce, she observed, " Gentlemen, the medicine I gave Danguy was suscep tible of saving him ; it has been sent to the annalists of the Garden of Plains; but the fact is, Danittuy got drunk—that was his affair: had be kept sober..l would have cured him—that was mine: but he chose to dies.a, that was his."
