Mr, Huddleiton appeared for the_ plaintiff, and Mr. Hawkins, Q,C., for the defendant. Tho plaintiff :t appeared was in the Crystal Palace on the occasion of the Handel _Festival, and during the day he went into one the apartments of the Palace over which the words "Third-class Refreshment Room" was placed, and when there the defendant came in, and in a very indig nant manner demanded to know by what right Mr. Martin was there, as he must have known that the room had been specially appro?riated on that occasion to the use of the gentlemen firming the orchestra. Defendant re quested plainta to show him his ticket of admission; but Mr. Martin, feeling annoyed at the manner of Mr. Puttick, refused to produce the card, saying he had it in his possession, snd that he had alraady shown it at the door when he entered. A quarrel ensued between the parties, when Mr. Putt ck called for the aid of the police, and on one of the constibles arriving he (defendant) said to hitr.— pointing to Mr. Martin---" Remove that man." This led to further confusion, when the constable told Mr. Martin that he must leeve the place or he should Le compelled to use force. Mr, Martin complained that Mr. Puttick had no right to place such an indignity upon him, and there fore he sought by this action to recover compensation for the affront.

A consultation took place between the parties, when Mr. Hawkins said, on tho part of Mr. Puttick, he cer tainly did not mean to put any indignity on Mr. Martin.

This was an action brought by the parents of the plaintiff for damages for a violent assault committed on him by the defendant. The plaintiff and three other boys, it appeared, were re turning home on the day in question, when one of the lads threw a pear up, which lodged on the wall of the garden of Mr. Parritt. The boy Morris, in attempting to recover the pear, climbed up the wall, when the defendant rushed out and beat the boy about the head and back, in a very severe manner. From the injuries the boy received he was con fined to his bed for some time, and medical aid was rendered necessary. The other lads who were with the boy described the manner in which the defendant struck the lad Morris, and a working man, who happened to be passing at the time, also said he saw the boy struck by the defendant in a very violent way. The defence was that no more correction was administered than was deserved. The jury, after a short consultation, gave a verdict for the plaintiff, damages SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) THE ELECTRIO AND INTERNATIONAL TELEGRAPH COM- PANY V. POPE. --- This was an action to recover 6s. extra " porterage," under circumstances of considerable importance to tele graph companies and the public. Mr. Winckworth, of Gresham House, for the company, said that although the amount in this case appeared small, the company felt itself bound to obtain his Honour's opinion upon the issue between the parties. Mr. Pownall, in the company's service, said—Some time since I received a message from defendant, who was an attorney, and it was directed to Miss Cunningham, Wrad more House, Nottingham. Defendant said that it was about one or two miles distant from the company's station at Nottingham, and I charged 2s. 6d. for the message, and Is. porterage. When the message reached Nottingham it was discovered that Wradmore House was seven miles dis tant, and we had to employ a mounted express at a cost of 7s. or ls. per mile. Mr. Wilson, assistant secretary to the company, produced the published tariff, which, in reference to the question of porterage, when the distance exceeded three miles, called strict attention to rules 64 and 65; and those rules autho rised the company to charge Is. per mile for the special express. His Honour found by the receipt given to defendant that the message was delivered "in accordance with the terms of the company's published tariff." Defendant said he rested his case upon one recently decided, Behrens v. the Great Northern Railway Company. There defendants pleaded non-liability, because plaintiff had not paid an mara rata, but the court held that as plain tiff's attention had not been called to the extra rate he could not be held bound by it. Here defendant's attention was not called to the extra porterage, or he would not have sent the message. His Honour ruled that defendant's attention was called to the published tariff by the very wording of the receipt, and it was defendant's duty to have made himself acquain ted with the nature of rules 64 and 65. The case quoted did not apply, and it would bo very unreasonable to expect a Telegraph Company to carry a message seven miles for is. A reasonable construction must be put upon the words in the receipt, and plaintiffs would have a verdict. Mr. Wincliworth—Not one farthing of this money goes into the company' s h ands. His Honour—Ju s t so. settled. Verdict for plaintiff s , who recovered extra costs. It is purely a question to be TIIE SUN, LONDON, TUTSDAY EVENINGI, DECEMBER 2, 1862. SPORTING-THIS DAY.

The work of clearing oat the interior has made very rapid progress during the last few days.

Min ton's fountain also remains intact, but, waterless and silent now, is quite in keeping with the cold, inani mate aspect of the whole interior. Most of the trophy cases are in process of removal, very many have gone; even the timekeeper of the building and general rendezvous for meetings and appointments —Benson's great clock —has at last ceased to strike, and gone the way of all the other clocks. With the general removal, however, the fine proportions of the building, thus seen comparatively clear for the first time, become more striking every day. On the foreign aide, Portugal, Switzerland, Hamburg, Mecklenburg, and Bavaria have entirely departed, and Austria's splendid show is only represented by a few costly articles which have been bought in this country but not yet delivered. Her very small stock of unsold goods was removed from the building a few days after the closing. France is likely to be the last to leave the field, though sbe has sent off more than 2,000 packages dur ing the last fortnight —a very great amount of in his market.

THE BREADALBANE ESTATES.—The Stirling Journal states that little is yet known definitely about the destination of the unentailed portion of the estates, and the immense private portion of the late Marquis. His rental was about £60,000 a-year from land, besides a large income from other sources. The rental of the entail estates, which come into T a possession of the pr esent Earl, is about £40,000 a-year, whi e a great many of th e fi ne works of art, &c., in Taymouth stle and the other family seats are also en tailed. We have heard that the executors of the late Mar quis are likely to be the Duke of Buckingham, the Earl of Camperdown, the Earl of Dalhousie, Lord Jerviswoode, Lord Kinnaird, Mr. Laurence Da v id son. It appears, how ever, from a legal notice which was on Wednesday posted on the notice-paper of the Sheriff Court of Perthshire that the succession to the Earldom is to be disputed, It is said that the late Marquis was married before, and that a son by that marriage is alive. If the case comes before the Court the public may expect some wonderful disclosures. The new claimant is Lieut. Donald Campbell, late of the 57th Regt.—the recognised heir of the late Marquis being Mr. John Alexander Gavin Campbell, of Glenfalloch, a lineal descendant of a younger branch of the family.

TAT I ERSALLS'LLAsT EVENING?. Had it not been for the fortunate change in the weather on Saturday, which enabled Mr. Merry to complete his week's engagement at Warwick, the attendance here this afternoon would have presented the same appearance as has hitherto been looked forward to at the close of the legiti mate racing season ; but tho wind-up at Leamington sup plied some grist to the mill of the layers, who in conse quence, either in person or by agent, mustered in some force ; many of them actuated by the hope of meeting with a stray customer prior to retiring for the winter, The monetary process was got through with great ease ; but any attempt to resume speculation upon the Guineas or the Derby appeared to be met with silence. In consequence the following list must be taken as indicative of the rela tive positions in favour of the animals named.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. COMMITTAL OF SYSTEMATIC SHoPLlFTEaso—Margaret Adams and Sarah Williams, charged with being in posses sion of a quantity of goods, consisting of pieces of silk, hand kerchiefs, drawers, &c., all bearing shop marks, and be lieved to be stolen, were brought before Mr. Mansfield for the purpose of committal. Mr. Warrand, solictor to the Association:for the Prose cution of Shoplifters, &c,, prosecuted, and Mr. Pater, bar rister, defended Adams. The prisoners visited the house of Messrs. Grant and Gask, silk mercers, of Oxford-street, and was followed by an assistant, and given into custody, when two pieces of Bilk handkerchiefs—four in each—and some drawers, with shop-marks on them, showing that they had not been sold, were found upon them by Moorcroft, 10 E, and Hiscock, 51 E. Mr. Pater having cross-examined one of the constables, Henry Gardner, assistant to Messrs. Clack, 102, Oxford street, hosiers and outfitters, identified some of the articles found on the prisoners as the property of the firm, and said the value of them was 30s. In cross-examination the witness said he recognised the goods by the shopmarks on them, they having been marked by one of the firm. The witness was closely pressed by Mr. Pater as to his knowledge of the fact whether the goods had been sold or not, and said they had not been sold for four days before they were found on the prisoners, and that he could not re cognise the prisoners as having been in the shop. The constable said there was no owner for the handker chiefs. Mr. Warrand said the prisoners were found with some things in their possession, and they had both given false addresses. Boden, one of the officers of the court, said that one of the prisoners had been tried. Mr. Pater addressed the magistrate at some length on the part of Adams. Mr. Mansfield said he should send the case before a jury, and the prisoners were committed for trial. THAMES. BroAMY.—An Irish sailor named Bartholomew M'Garry, about 45 years of age, who has hitherto maintained a good character, and whose certificates of service were marked V. G. (very good) both for ability and conduct, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with feloniously intermarrying with Mary Halloran, while his first and lawful wife was alive. Both wives were in court. The first, an old woman, very poor and meanly clad, and many years the senior of the prisoner ; the second, a younger woman than the prisoner, and well-dressed. The first marriage was solemnised according to the rites of the Roman Catholic Church, in Ireland, as far back as the 18th of October, 1833, and a certificate • signed by the priest who officiated at the ceremony was produced, but there was no witness to the marriage present except the first wife, and according to the present state of the law, which has often been the cause of great injustice in cases of this description, she could not be called to state the simple fact that she was married to the prisoner. The difficulty was got over by the admission made by the prisoner to the police-constable who took him into custody, that the old woman who claimed him as her husband and who was present at the time was his lawful wife, and he was mar ried to her in Ireland. They had been living apart many years, and in the month of February, 1861, he was married to Mary Halloran, at the Roman Catholic Church, of St. St. Mary and St. Michael, in the Commercial-road East Irishman who was present at this marriage was put into the witness box. lie is a little old man, with a thick Cork brogue, and his answers to the questions put to him created roars of laughter. They axed mo to go wid 'em, said the little man. Mr. Woolrych—Did you go? Witness—Bedad, they wint with me. Woolrych—Did you give the brido away ? Witness—Give her away, now. Och, now, could Ibe doing that ? Shure your honour's wortchip knows better. Mr. Wooltych—What did you do, my good man ? Witness—l gave them both up to the priest. Witness—And ho married them ? Witness—Faix, now, he jilt made them man and wife. The second wife said that when she became acquainted with the prisoner ho said his first wife had been dead and buried 14 years. The first wife here groaned aloud, and exclaimed— M‘Garry, now, did you tell her that lie of me. Mr. Woolrych—You must be quiet, Mrs. 31 4 Garry. The first wife—That's my name your riverence. The second wife then produced the certificate of the second marriage, signed by the priest of St. Mary and St. Michael, and said my husband told me the week before last that ho was married to this old woman. _ _ John Barrett, 158 H, said—l took the prisoner into cus tody. He said, in the presence of the two wives, I have been married to both of them. The first wife—Och, may the Lord save you M‘Garry ; was there ever such a bad man. The prisoner, after receiving the usual caution, said—" I know I have done wrong, I have been married to both wo men. lam a most unfortunate man, I must put up with it." Mr. Woolrych committed the prisoner for trial, and ho then asked the magistrate to allow the money, £2 16s taken from him by Barrett, the police constable, to be given to his wife. Mr. Woolrych—Won't you give the second any. You have deeply injured her ? The prisoner —She can work for her living, sir, the old woman can't work. The second wife—Have I not washed and mended for you, ll`Garry, and I have had none of the wages of your last voyage ? The first wife, clapping her hands, " God bless you, M•Garry." The prisoner then left the dock. SHIPPING-THIS DAY. LONDON, Dec. 2.—Wind this day at noon—South- Easterly ; moderate breeze, and fine weather, but rather cloudy.

Both these shows opened this morning. Long before mid-day Bingley-hall was densely crowded, amongst the visitors there being the aristocracy and county families from all parts of the comity. The dog show seeme d to b e even more attractive, possibly from its novelty. The place where the animals are penned is spacious, but evidently not nearly sufficiently so for the accommodation of the crowds who flocked to it, which is no matter for surprise, looking at the interesting character of the exhibition, including, as it does, a large proportion of the varieties of the canine species. The show of cattle was pronounced by all com petent judges to be ene of the finest ever witnessed, and the decisions of the judges have given general satisfaction. The drawing of the design for the President's Cup for the best animal shown, being bred by the exhibitor, has been made by Mr. Har rison Weir, for Messrs. Mapplebeek and Lowe, of Birmingham, to whom the order for it has been entrusted. The Shropshire sheep were the subject of gene ral commendation ; scarcely less so was the show of Berkshire pigs —one or two of which from a prize pen, the property of Mr. Scott, of the Queen's Hotel, Birmingham, were purchased for almost a fabulous price. The collections of seeds and roots formed this year one of the most interesting features of the exhibition. Amongst the general company were the Mayor of Birmingham (Mr. Charles Sturge), Lord and Lady Ducie, the Hon. Alisses Somerville, the Hon. F. S. Calthorpe, M.P., the Earl of Dudley, Lord Lismore, Sir Jobn Ratcliff, Mr. Newdegate, M.P., the Earl and Countess of Stamford and Warrington, the Duke of Rutland, Lady Conyers, Lord Rane lagh, Lord Hill, Sir George Chetwynd, the Dowager Marchioness of Ailesbury, Mr. John and Lady Louisa Cotes, Sir Ueorge and Lady Dashwood, Lord and Lady Raglan, Colonel North, M.P., Sir William and Lady Hartopp, Lady Scott, the Right Hon. C. B. and Mrs. Adderley and Miss Adderley, the Earl of Shrewsbury, Sir John Pakington, Sir H. De Voeux, Lord John Manners, the Earl of Chesterfield, the Hon. Major-General Hood, C. M.

VIC2OR HUGO ON CAPITAL PUNISH- MENT. At Paris, in 1818 or 1819, about noon one summer's day, I was passing the Place du Palais de Justice. A crowd had assembled around a post. I approached. Tied to this post, a carcanet round her neck, and a placard on her head, was a human being, a young woman, or a young girl. A chafing-dish filled with live coals was before her at her feet, an iron with a wooden handle was being heated in the em bers ; the crowd appeared contented. This woman was guilty of what the law termed a domestic theft. Suddenly, as the clock struck 12, behind the woman, and unseen by her, a man mounted the scaffold ; I had remarked that the woman's woollen dress had an opening behind, drawn together by strings; the man quickly untied the strings, drew aside the dress, bared the back of the wo man to the waist, seized the iron from the chafing-dish, and applied the iron, loaning heavily on the bare shoulder. The iron and the hand of the executioner disappeared in a white smoke. After a lapse of forty years I still have in my ears, and shall for ever have in my soul, the frightful cry of that criminal. To my mind the thief had become a martyr. I quitted the spot—l was then sixteen—determined hence forth to struggle against the evil deeds of the law. Of these evil deeds, the punishment of death is the worst. And what has not been seen, i❑ our time even, and without leaving ordinary tribunals and ordinary misde.. meanours I On the 20th of April, 1849, a servant, named Sarah Thomas, a girl of seNenteen, was executed at Bristol, for having, in a moment of anger, killed her mistress who had beaten her, with a blow by a log of wood. The con demned girl did not wish to die. Seven men were re quired to take her to the gallows. She was hanged by force. At the moment when the cord was being adjusted, the exe cutioner asked her if she had anything to say to her father. She interrupted him by replying—" Yes, yes; tell hi nt that I love him." At the commencement of the c an , tury, in the reign of George 111., in London, three chil, dren of the very poorest class were condemned to death for theft. The eldest (the "Newgate Calendar" states the fact) was only fourteen. The three children were hanged. What idea have these men of murder ? What I I may not kill in a coat ; in a long robe I may ! Like Richelieu' s cassock, the robe covers everything. Public avenger 1 ah, I beseech you not to avenge me I murder, murder, I tell you. Except in cases of legitimate defence understood in the strictest sense (for your aggressor once wounded by you and fallen, you ought to assist him), is homicide ever allowable ? Is that which-is prohibited to the individual permitted to the mass ? The executioner, what a sinister species of assassin 1 the official assassin, the patented as sassin, supported, salaried, sent for on certain days, work ing in public, killing by daylight, having for his tools "the staff of justice," recognised assassin of the State ! The functionary assassin, the assassin who has his dwell ing-place in the law, the assassin in the name of all I he has my proxy and yours, to kill. He strangles or kills, then slaps the shoulder of society and says : I work for you, pay me. He is the assassin cum privilegio legs, the assassin whose act of assassination is decreed by the legis lature, deliberated on by the jury, ordered by the judge, consented to by the priest, guarded by the soldier, contem plated by the people.—Frorn a Letter to the .People of Geneva.—Social Science Review. ADVENTURE TVI7 H A COBRA IN MADRAS. One fine morning I had preceded the dubash, who was busy entering the cook's morning market account, and en tering the store, walked across it to the further end in search of some hermetically sealed viands and vegetables, which were not procurable in the place at that season of the year for lcve or money. The place was lighted only by the entrance-door, through which, however, there entered a sufficient flood of brilliant daylight to answer all my pur poses. I had just laid my hand upon a tin case of green peas, and was speculating upon the best means of opening it, when a sudden scuffling, squeaking, and hissing, close behind me attracted my notice ; and turning abruptly round, I saw that a huge cobra and an angry rat had tumbled just by the door of the entrance, and were engaged in deadly combat. The former had in all probability intruded upon the latter's nest of young ones somewhere in the rafters of the roof, and met with a hostile reception. Springing up with all the agility of fear upon a strong projecting shelf, for I durst not make a rush at the door under peril of my life, I became an un willing spectator of this unequal contest. The rat for some time, conscious of the venomous foe it had to contend with kept leaping round and round, like an agile prize-fighter, availing itself of every opportunity to rush in and bite the snake, which had worked itself into a frenzied state of rage, and hissed and darted at the rat with its protruded forked tongue in a manner that was truly awful to witness, whilst its little venomous eyes sparkled again in the sunlight with rage. At last the cobra succeeded in inflicting a deadly wound upon the brave little animal, who, apparently con scious that soon all would be up with her, put aside all pre vious caution, and rushed boldly in upon its adversary, fixing itself firmly close under the left eye of the snake, and never letting go its hold, notwithstanding all the desperate lashing about of the tail and body of its much more power ful opponent, till the convulsions of death forced it to let go, and fall prostrate before the snake. The cobra, who had evidently received a severe if not motel wound, to my ter tor trade its way direct to the shelf where I had taken refuge, and was wriggling up one of the posts that supported it. I had nothing in the shape of a weapon of defence of any kind cr description. But there chanced to be on a shelf over my head some heavy bags of a rare kind of rice, grown somewhere in the interior of Bengal. I clambered up to this shelf, and seizing a heavy bag, waited until my ugly aggressor had wriggled itself half way across the shelf below, when I let drop the sack, and so completely crushed the snake. I was not long, you may be sure, before I retreated from the storehouse. I caused every article in it to be removed (displacing and killing in the operation a whole family of young cobras), to a more commodious warehouse, where such venomous rep tiles could easily be discovered, and as quickly despatched. —Dublin University Magazine. GOE7HE'S _RELIGION. The versatility of comprehensiveness which he exhibited in his studies and in his effective and creative labours aris ing from the synthetic nature of his intellect, characterizes, also, the poet-philosopher in his speculative and religious aspect. His credo was eclectic, uniting something of the physical worship of Paganism with the moral worship of Christianity, and recognising as genuine only that which stands in harmony with the purest nature and reason, and which ministers to the highest development of being. " If I am asked," he once said, " whether it is my nature to pay Christ devout reverence, I say—certainly ; I bow before him as the divine manifestation of the highest principle of morality. If I am asked whether it is my nature to revere the sun, I say, again, certainly ; for he also is a type of the High est Being and the most powerful we children of the earth are permitted to behold ; I adore in him the light and productive power of God, by whom we and all creation live, and move, and have our being." A profound conviction in the eternal duration of the soul, naturally followed from his view of the eternal vitality of the universe, and thus to him death formed but:the point:de depart to other spheres of activity and development. One evening, in his old age, returning with his secretary from a drive through the wooded valley cf Rudolstadt, he caused the carriage to stop at a place where four roads met, to enjoy the prospect of the red sun sinking over the river and distant hills, and shedding his tranquil light through the splendid avenue of black Italian poplars. After viewing the descending orb for some time, turning to Eckerman, he said, cheerfully, " When one is 70 years old one cannot fail at times to think of death. Tbo subject I contemplate in the most perfect peace, for 1 have a firm conviction that the soul is an existen ce of an indes tructible nature, whose working is from eternity to eternity. It is like yonder sun which, to o ur eyes, indeed, seems to set, but properly speaking never sets—shining in unchange able immortality splen d flowed o nr ; " from adding that tt of f o thims activity,th e idea , of fo ther if I s soul's pro gress in intellectual activity in tho same proportion as my bodily tenement weakens, nature thereby seems to pledge herself to bring me into a state of existence more suitable to the ripe state of my inward man.

A REMARKABLE LEAP.—On Tuesday week last, a numerous party of ladies and gentlemen assembled at Ilinchinbrook House, the residence of the Right Hon. the Earl of Sandwich, for the purpose of joining in a fox-hunt , The sport commenced shortly after 10 o'clock, when two foxes were started, one of which, after a smart chase, was run down, The other, however, took "home," and reached the wall of Hinchinbrook House:without being captured. The wall, at this point, is about 16 feet high, and Reynard, being pressed by the hounds, and sorely puzzled how to make his escape, took a leap, and actually succeeded in reaching the top of the wall, whence he fell exhausted on the other side, having received some severe injuries in the performance of this extraordinary i'dfrborocig4 4(fccrtlscr. r ili 7 • r .S''' I to aro' high d ° r I. / A ali i) ad D ith, e tail , of f i sttial latk I 20 204 10 100 i 100 100 stock stock stock 100 100 100 100 100 100 stock stock 20 20 100 100 stock stock stock stock 50 100 stock stock 5 1 1 20 28.2.81 100 100 pO.ll 100 all all a,l all 1 5 3 28 324 8 1:76i 6 11 1~
