TILE " BOND" OF FRIENDSBIP.-TRADER DEBTOR SUMMONS. A case was heard in which it was alleged that the credi tor had advanced a sum of money to enable him to go on with his business. There was an account between them of £B3 odd on account. His Honour—What seem ity did you take for the money Witness—None. His Honour—No memorandum whatever ? 'Witness—None ; I lent it on the bond of friendship. His Honour—Doubtful security. Have you brought an action ? Witness—No, your Honour. The debtor was examined, and swore that he never bor rowed any money, but it arose from an exchange of cheques, as one resided in the country and the other in London, and his (defendant's) cheques had been paid. his Honour—What do you say to this account ? Witness-1 can't make it out. His Honour—Do you mean to say it is not true? Defendant—l swear it is not. His Honour—Then that is a question to be decided by a jury, and you must enter into a bond in the usual form, and an action must be brought within 14 days, or the summons will be dismissed with costs. The defendant undertook to make an affidavit that he had a good defence to the action, and gave the bond. His Honour proceeded with other trader summonses in precedence of the causes in the list, to the great inconve nience of other parties, as no second Commissioner was sitting to take the above cases in private, to avoid prema ture exposure. NEW RULES FOR THE SHERIFFS' COURT. Three sets of new rules have been printed and distributed, having reference to the Sheriffs' Court in the City. In the first set (rules of practice) considerable modification has taken place in the rate of allowance to witnesses. Thus— gentlemen, merchants, bankers, and professional men will be allowed from 10s. to 20s. per day ; tradesmen, auctioneers, accountants, clerks, and tradesmen, from ss. to 10s. per day ; citizens and journeymen, 3s. to ss. per day; and labourers and the like, 2s. to 3s. per day. The rule repealed by this allowed 75, 6d. as the highest amount, and 2s. as the lowest, to witnesses, was the cause of much discontent. Other alterations have also taken place, the use of which will be seen in the working. The second set (rules and orders as to costs) entirely remodels the costs to be allowed, in taxation by the l‘laster, to soli citors and counsel practising at the court. The third set is headed Friendly Societies' Act—Rules of Practice. Some discontent was felt when the Friendly Societies' Act was passed, referring to County Courts and excluding the Sheriffs' Court, and it was asked how the City Remembrancer overlooked an omission of such vital im portance. In 1858 a short act was passed giving the Sheriffs' Court the same jurisdiction as the County Courts, and Mr. Kerr (the present judge) has framed at some length a set of rules for the guidance of those who may be obliged to sue under the act. The rules are signed by the Recor der, Common Sergeant, and Mr. Kerr, and approved by the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas. Mr. Kerr has spent considerable time and labour in the construction of these rules, and it is said will not rest until he succeeds in getting increased jurisdiction for the court by a new Act of Parliament. "O LICE INTELLIGENCE.-( THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN UNSEASONABLE VISITOR.--Fanny Parker, a smart young female, living in the neighbourhood of the Waterloo road, was charged before Mr. Beadon with unlawfully ring ing the bell at 69, Davies-street, Berkeley .square. Mr. Wm. Morgan, carpenter, of 69, Davies-street, Berkeley - square, said that between three aad four that morning, he was aroused by a loud knocking and ringing a his front door, and on hastening down stairs, and opening it to see what was the Matter, he found the defendant standing there. He asked her what she wanted, and she tried to force her way in , and as he could not get rid of her, he called a con stable he saw on the opposite side of the street, and gave her into custody. In answer to Mr. Beadon, the complainant said he had known the defendant for six months, and was trying to reform her, but on Friday last, when he called to see her, she took up a knife and threatened him, and her language was very bad. The defendant said it was all false, and she only called because he told her to do so. Mr. Beadon said ho should order her to enter into her .ecognisance in the sum of £lO not to go near the house tgain. Defendant, as she was leaving the court, said—" Ho is only wild because I won't have him." (Laughter.) BREAKING THE WINDOWS AT ARCHBISHOP TENNISON'S SCHOOL.—EIIen Morris, an old woman, was charged with breaking the windows at Archbishop Tennison's School, Castle-street, the property of the Rev. W. G. Humphrey, vicar of St. Martins, and others, trustees. The prisoner demanded relief at the workhouse adjoin ing, but it being refused, owing to her being drunk, she collected a lapfull of stones, with which she commenced an attack on the windows, but, by mistake, at the school instead of the workhouse. She was ordered to pay the damage, or be committed for a month. THAMES. SMUGGLING TEA FROM THE HACKBAT MERCHANT SlllP.—Daniel Stanley, employed in the East and West India Docks, was charged before Mr. Selfe, with stealing a quantity of tea from the merchant ship Hackbat, lying in the East and West India Docks. A constable in the service of the company s aid that yes berday aftern oon , as th e men were leav i ng the docks, he was in the C ommerc i a l- roa d , facing t h e dock entrance, when he obser ve d th e p r i soner com i ng out. From his manner witness thought h e h a d something con cealed about his person. He smirched the pri soner, and found a quantity of tea tied up in a handkerchief, which was between his legs. He also "found some tea in his shoes and in some of his pockets. He (witness) subsequently went on board the ship, when 12 chests of tea were pointed out to him as those from which it was supposed the tea was taken, and he was informed that the prisoner had been at work there that day. In one of the chests was an opening frotn which a quantity of tea had been taken. The prisoner said that it was the first time he had taken anything from the docks. Mr. Selfe said that he must be punished for attempting to smuggle tea from the docks. He was sent for a mbnth to the House of Correction with hard labour. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

THE RAILWAY CLEARING HOUSE.--The works in connexion with the extensive additions to this establish ment, as far as regards the new buildings in course of erec tion in Seymour-street, Euston-square, having been sus pended by the strike of the workmen, an additional three months has been conceded to the contractors to enable them to complete the contemplated alterations, and to free them from the infliction of the penalty consequent on the non-performance of the contract within the specified time. LORD T.EFIV.II,IOI ON REFORM. Mr. R. B. Reed, the secretary of the Northern Reform Union, has been favoured with the follow. ing communication from Lord Teynham : Old Church Cottage, Bexley Kent, August 27, 1859. Sir,—The greatest of all difficulties in the way of happy and assured union is overcome when the foundations of a proposed course of conduct are laid in justice. An unborn child in the United Kingdom is not only protected by its mother, it is surrounded by tae shield of the law. Soon after its birth its existence is vouched for, its identity and its pre sumptive inheritance are cared for by the law of vaccination. And no sooner does it know right from wrong than it is required to be obedient to the go vernment of the country. And, from the first, di rectly orindirectly,its sustenance, end many things which combine to secure the welfare of its being, are taxed. Thus the beginning of its life and of its interest in the legislation of the Parliament are contemporaneous. Throughout its existence on earth that interest exists likewise without intermission, and after death the laws of the country protect the sacredness of its tomb. He whose whole life on earth is thus acted upon by parliament is justly entitled to have a voice in choosing his own representative in that assembly. On this principle of justice I believe I stand agreed with the Northern Reform Union. Let it be the first, and it will bear proof of being a suffi cient link to connect together all who shall seek effectual parliamentary reform. In this union our first step is the recognition of the difficulty between a man and a child. The Scriptures and the laws say the same thing. We, when we were children, were in bondage. Thus a child is not qualified or made fit to be a voter. Let him first become a man. Thus, if we obtain the reform we seek, the franchise will become the inhe ritance of every male child born in the United King dom, a subject of her Majesty. But he will not enter upon his inheritance till he is of legal age. We thus reach another point of concord. Univer sal suffrage reduced to practice is manhood suffrage. Would a man give his vote for a member of Parlia ment wisely he must exercise his mind on political subjects ; he must collect accurate information upon them. Independently he should vote ; inde pendently think. That he be not dependent on others for a mere smattering of politics, he must be able to read, and thus to store up knowledge for him self. He who cannot read is not qualified to give a vote which he can know will be beneficial to him self and his country; he who canread, having within himself the means of all knowledge is qualified to vote well. If I gain the assent, and I expect it unanimously, of reformers to this step, universal suffrage is practically that of every reading man. It will not be hard to persuadethe man who cannot read that he should leave the suffrage to him that can, even as the blind man is willing to be led. Not in one way, but in many ways; in ordinary things, and in those of the highest importance, I expect Parliamentary Reform, such reform as I am seeking, to be beneficial to our country. That which other means have failed to produce, a universally reading public, would be engendered by a vote being given to every man as soon as he becomes a man provided he cat read. But some who desire an additional qualification to be substituted for one founded upon money wonild inordinately stretch their demands. They overlook the difference between being qualified and being better qualified. In the legislation we seek we have to do alone with simple qualification, and must resolutely reject all its gradations. Every step beyond our limits would issue in the exclusion of some qualified voters. And were we, besides reading the means of knowledge, to require any particular subjects of knowledge, on each the ques tion must be raised, is it an essential qualification? and union would become impossible, and without union there cannot be success. That the union of reformers may not easily be dissolved, that it may possess a vitality that will evince itself in the unity and persistency of varied action, I have deemed it my duty thus far, at present, to develop to you my views, with the hope that I shall gain assent—l re main,•sir, yours faithfully, TETNIIAM. To the H on.i Secretary of the Northern Reform Union. BARNET CATTLE FAIR. On Monday the great annual fair at Barnet was opened for public business, and its world-wide fame for the extensive supply of every large de scription of stock was fully sustained. There was a large attendance of eminent stock dealers and agriculturists, cattle dealers and breeders, who visit this as the most likely mart to sell stock, and graziers and feeders make their selections at this autumn fair. The condition of the stock generally was of fair average, and many droves of beasts were full of flesh. The number of cattle brought to gether was less than in previous years. There was a good demand, and sales were effected early. The counties of Hereford and Devon contributed some of their best grazing beasts. Yorkshire was fairly represented, with excellent and well-bred mulch cows. Ireland sent some large herds of cattle to the fair, and Scotland likewise sent some choice and well-bred cattle. Prices were as an nexed : Herefords, well-bred bullocks for stall feeding, £l6 to £lB ; good grazing steers, £ll to £l4; stock heifers, £lO to £ll. Devons, prime bullocks. £l5 to £lB ; useful steers, £l2 to £l5 ; coarse bred ditto, £9 to £ll. Durham steers made £l5 to £l7 ; and mulch cows, £l3 to £l5. Lincolns and half-breds varied in price from £ll to £l6, and well-grazed steers made £2O. Sussex beasts, well-conditioned steers for stall feeding, £l4 to £l5;. bullocks, aged, broke to the ox yoke, sold at from £lB to £2O each. Irish cattle, well-grown steers, £ll to £l3 ; choice selections, £l5 ; heifers, £8 to £lO ; yearlings, £4 to £5. Scotch cattle—this de scription of stock sold readily—best qualities of polled Scots and in high condition made from £2O to £22 a head; ditto for feeding up, £l5 to £l7, and small steers, £l3 to £l4; runts, these High land beasts, which comprise a bullock in miniature, were in active request ; those fresh from grazing made from £5 to £9 each; well-conditioned ditto, £l2 ; mulch cows, this class of stock was in high competition by the eagerness of milkmen in the metropolis to secure them ; choice bred shorthorn cows in full milk and calf by their side made from £l7 to £2O ; large-framed Yorkshire cows in full profit, £2O to £23, and selections of handsome beasts were made at £25, ditto cows to calve down early early £l5 to £l7 ; Ayrshire cows, £l2 to £l4 ; and half-bred ditto, £lO to £l2. The fair remains open to-day (Tuesday) and to-morrow for horses and cattle. SPOBTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALLS'-YESTERDAY.

The Commissioners, under the presidency of the Earl of Shaftesbury, their chairman, report, at length, the steps taken during the past (official) year to increase and improve the public accommo dation for pauper lunatics in the counties and boroughs of England and Wales, and bring under the notice of the Lord Chancellor the existing con dition of the several asylums when last visited by the Board. The recent entries in their books have been, for the most part, of a favourable character, although certain recommendations had to be made occasionally for the improvement of the treatment, comfort, and general condition of the unfortunate insane. In the aggregate these recommendations constitute essential parts of the treatment of the disease. Suggestions for the improvement of diet and the allowance of other comforts to the patients are also obviously important, as part of a well established system of treating their peculiar and very distressing malady. There is a great want of accommodation in public (pauper) lunatic asylums, and this leads to the abuse of farming out-patients to strangers, keeping them in workhouses, or to the supersession of the (legal) public asylums by " licensed houses" for paupers. The public asylums, stigmatised for various defects of internal arrange ment, irregularity, and inattention to suggestions, include the Cornwall Asylum, Denbigh, the Kent County Asylum, and asylums in Lancashire (want of accommodation), at Prestwich, Han well, Colney hatch, in Norfolk, Salop, Stafford, Suffolk, Surrey, Sussex, Wilts, West Riding of York, at Haverford west (a very bad case indeed), and at Hull. In most of the above cases the defects are comparatively trifling, or the complaint is that the recommenda tions of the Board have not been attended to. But_ the state of Haverfordwest (South Wales) Asylum, formerly a dungeon for • criminals is a scandal to the country, and the Lord Chancellor will doubtless directly interfere. The " defects are glaring," and are set forth, as in former reports, in detail. One specimen of the place is given in the fact that the asylum does not contain a single watercloset—the consequences are such as decency forbids us to describe. 'The (private) licensed houses in the metropolitan districs exhibit an im provement in their condition and management. The suggestions of the Board have generally been adopted, and increased attention has been paid to the physical comforts of the patients. A resident medical officer—a great desideratum—has been appointed at Blacklands and at Brooke-house. In two or three cases, however, the Commissioners have felt bound to take stringent measures to enforce the adoption of the necessary alterations an 4 im provements ; and the licenses were curtailed, with a broad hint that their renewal might become a question for serious deliberation. The names of these dens are not given in the report. In one case the proprietor of the madhouse was apparently so encumbered with debts as not to have sufficient means for the due maintenance of his establish- ment and the securing of adequate comfort to his patients. To this person only a short provisional license was granted. At Normand and Northum berland important structural alterations have been insisted on and made. The Commissioners propose to reduce the number of licensed houses as much as possible, so as to restrict them henceforth to the reception of patients belonging to parishes in the immediate vicinity of the metropolis ; their object is to exclude paupers from them altogether. Four licensed houses in the provinces have been closed, and one new license has been granted by the jus tices at Bury St. Edmund's. The notorious Acomb House, near York, is again referred to. The man Metcalfe who kept this (now closed) house was pro • secuted by the Board, and, althouili he fled to the Continent, a Bench warrant is out against him and still remains in force. Plympton-house still bears a black mark, and should be looked to. The house at High Beech has been c,losed by the justices them selves, and the Board approve their decision. Port land-house, Whitchurch, Herefordshire, is a very exceptional case, and but for a belief that there was no intentional hardship or neglect on the part of the proprietor, his license would have been revoked. The report says : " It is evident from the details that no benefit is likely to result from the often-repeated suggestions for improvement which have been made by us, and it is therefore with a hope that some other means may be devised to obtain the necessary improvements that we bring the matter thus prominently before your lordship." IRISH RACING FI SEPT: Curragh 'Dillow l2 Tramor• ..15 OCTI Curragh IBER. NEW- ROUTE TO IRELAND.—Sir Andrew Orr, chairman of the Glasgow and South-Western Railway, re ceived on Friday morning, from Mr. Henderson, of Belfast, the following telegram announcing the successful result of the first voyage from Ardrossan to Belfast of the new steam ship Adela :—"Adela a complete triumph. To Blackhead, four hours ; Holywood Lighthouse, four hours 50 minutes ; Belfast, five hours 18 minutes." This is a most rapid pas sage, notwithstanding the rough weather experienced and the newness of the Adela's machinery. We expect to hear that her next voyage will be almost under the five hours. Passengers leave Glasgow every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday by the 4.15 pm. Ayrshire express tram for Ardrossan, and the steamer departs immediately on its arrival. The Adela, on her return voyage, left Belfast on Friday afternoon at 4.5 p.m. (or 4.30 Greenwich time), and arrived at Ardrossan Quay at 9.57. Passengers were for warded from thence by special train, which reached Paisley at 10.56, and Glasgow at 11.10 p.m., thereby accomplishing the whole journey —viz., 84 miles - of sea, and 32 miles of railway—in 6 hours and 40 minutes.—North British Daily Mail.

The greater caution exercised in granting licenses has led to a diminution in the number of private asylums, in the course of 10 years, from 146 to 114, The payments for patients do not always in these houses secure a proper return, and many abuses in this respect appear to exist. The sale of licensed houses, when the patients are " turned over" to a new proprietor like so many head of cattle, is to be generally discountenanced as a gross abuse. The subject of attendance, and especially nightly attendance, is discussed at some length by the board, and its importance much insisted on. The practice of "secluding" patients, or locking them up alone, is under strict surveillance, aid in several cases a more generous diet, including the use of beer, has been ordered and insisted on in spite of frivolous excuses—" an ample diet being generally very desirable, and often absolutely necessary to the restoration of insane patients." The Earl's•wood Idiots' Institution is reported as improved, there having been much room for improvement. It is regretted that the military authorities persist in neglecting to erect an asylum for insane soldiers. Sailors arc provided for, but soldiers are farmed out and made a source of profit to private pro prietors. The Commissioners urge the necessity of early legislation to remove the hardship entailed on the insane and their families by the present dila tory.and expensive provisions of the law for the administration of the property and income of insane persons of very limited means. The Lunacy Act of 1853 is reported to be a failure in this respect. The neglect of lunatics in the island of Jersey is also adverted to as a crying evil, but the case has been already taken up by " the States." The treatment of single patients is very sad. One gentleman, under the care of a market gardener (an ex-attend ant at a hospital), was ultimately removed to an asylum. Other special reports are truly distress ing. In connexion with the subject of single patients it is important, observe the Commissioners, to con sider how completely many are at the mercy of attendants of a low grade, who are almost their only companions. During the past year, upon the occasion of a visit by a member of the Board to an insane gentleman, a single patient, in St. John's wood, his attention was drawn to the general character and proceedings of attendants in that neighbourhood, and to an association entiitled " The Lisson drove Association of Attendants on Persons Bodily or Mentally Afflicted." According to the statement of the visiting Commissioner's in formant, many of the members of the association are very disreputable characters, and, having ob tained employment through the medium of the association, grossly neglect their patients. Two es pecially were mentioned as notorious for drunken ness and profligacy •, and a third, as having been engaged from the association by a lady to attend upon her insane san, and whom she had dismissed for gross neglect and other misconduct. It appeared upon inquiry , that the practice of many attendants is to leave their patients from 10 o'clock at night till two or three in the mormig , an Ito go out constantly during these hours to drink with their companions. It is painful. to be informed that the insane are frequently neglected—for long . periods unvisited—by their own relatives, and that the patients feel it acutely. The Board think that the law should afford every facility for such visits, because, as a general rule, they are conducive to the patient's good. The Commiesioners conclude by regretting that there appears to be little pros pect of obtaining possession of the land purchased near Dartford for the erection of an asylum for the pauper lunatics of the city of London before next Christmas or the spring of 1860. A State " Criminal" Asylum is to be builfon Bagshot-heath. 6,985 lunatics (2,413 males, and 2,572 females) were admitted into county and borough asylums in 1858, while 2,614 were discharged (1,965 recovered). On New Year's-day last there remained on hand 15,842 lunatics, of whom 1,673 were deemed curable ; 11 were found lunatic by inquisition, 326 were crimi nals, and 1,354 were chargeable to counties and boroughs. 1,858 lunatics remained in hospitals on the Ist of January, 1859 ; 904 were admitted, and 607 discharged (341 recovered) last year. In the metropolitan licensed houses there were 2,551 lunatics on hand last New Year's-day (331 deemed curable, 132 found lunatic, and. 36 criminals). 119 only were chargeable to the public. 1,287 were private, and 1,264 pauper lunatics. In the provincial houses 2,523 lunatics remained on the Ist of January last, of whom 179 were chargeable (413 only deemed curable.) Thus, there were altogether 22,774 lunatics in durance on the Ist of January, 1859 (14 137 in the naval hos pitals), and of these 2,773 were deemed curable. 300 were lunatics by inquisition, crimi nals, and 1,652 chargeabl e to 682 counties or were boroughs. 4,889 of the 22,911 were private, and 18,022 pauper patients.
