A CURIOUS AND IMPORTANT QUESTION AS TO LIABILITY OF BARRISTERS AND SOLICITORS.-EDWARDS V PIG GOTT, M.P., POUNDS, AND WALKER. This was an action brought to recover damages for alleged negligence, and the facts are remarkable. The plaintiff, it appears, is a di sc h arged soldier, and f or some reason his pension was stopped, which led to his publishing gross libels on her Majesty, the Prince Consort, and other illustrious individuals, for which he was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment; he then consulted two solicitors, sent a brief and fee to Mr. Sergeant Piggott, but the attorneys abandoned the case, and Mr. Sergeant Piggott refused to entertain the matter. and the plaintiff had notice that be might receive back the brief and the fee ; but he would not do so, but preferred taking the present proceed ings. A bundle of the most scurrilous addresses were dis tributed in court. In one he called upon Lord Palmerston to interfere, and send down Lis well-paid lawyers to watch the case, and at th e b ottom of one were an alleged reply— You may refe r to me—Palmerston." Mr. Biron appeared for Mr. Sergeant Piggott, and Mr. W. B. Davies for the other defendants. The jury having been called, Mr. Davies said that before the jury was sworn he wished to take an objection to the jurisdiction; but as, in the first instance, he should rely on the point that Sergeant Piggott could not be sued in this court, the learned counsel would perhaps take the lead. Mr. Biron said he appeared for the learned sergeant, but did not wish to take any technical objection, and was ready to go into the case on its merits. The learned sergeant had really nothing to do with the matter, and the plaintiff could have his brief then, if he chose. Mr. Davies objected to thin, as it would be unfair to the other defendants. The whole case ought to be heard. He (Mr. Davies) would therefore now object that one of the defendants, Mr. Sergeant Piggott, did not reside or carry on trade or business within the city of London. His Honour said he was described as of the Temple, and that was within the jurisdiction. Mr. Davies—Yes, but the defendant does not reside there or carry on business. His is an honourable profession. He cannot recover a fee, nor can he be sued if he hand brief and fee to another. His Honour—Then you would object to a physician or a clergyman in holy orders going to his parish. Mr. Davies—Yes, I should. nis Honour said it was a very nice case, and took him by surprise. The case was adjourned; and his Honour now said he would reserve his opinion. The jury was dismissed without having been sworn. 'ME SUN LONDON, SATURD F _,EVENEITc;, JULY 26, 1862. - Abbott—He went away in his ship with his head bound up this morning.

JACKSON. In this case Mr. Cobham appeared on behalf of the plain tiff to ask for a renewed certificate from this court of the original judgment, to be forwarded to the Southwark Court, to enable the plaintiff to continue the proceedings in that district, but, unfortunately, the certificate was lost, and the officials considered that they could not issue a second sum mons, but on application to his honour leave was given to apply. Mr. Cobham urged that as the lost certificate could not by any means be used:to the prejudice of any one; an other might be granted on payment of the costs, as a new certificate would simply revive the right of the plaintiff Defendant had had the benefit of the delay. His Honour conferred with Mr. Osgood, the chief clerk and Mr. Ackman, the chief bailiff, and on referring to the Act of Parliament he expressed his regret that he eould not interfere—one order had been granted, and the Court had no power to grant a second. The decision does not absolve the plaintiff from his liability, but the proceeding s must be begun again. POLICE-THIS DAY. GUILDHALL. CHARGE AGAINST A HUSBAND.—A dirty looking man, named Hiscock, appeared to answer a summons charging him with ill-treating his wife. Caroline Hiscock, a poor woman, evidently in very bad health, said the prisoner was her husband, and the cause of her appearing against him was that he was in the habit, and had been ever since March last, of grossly ill-treating her. The assault of which she had present to complain of was committed on her in consequence of her i n t er f er i ng t o prevent the prisoner from indecently K aching his daughter, a girl of 14 years of age. He used to get some water in a pie dish, and then was the lower part of her body in a most in decent manner. He had taken the girl away from her home, and she did not know where he had placed her. 'When she asked him what had become of the girl, he told her he had promised her a situation, and if she wanted to know more she would have to " rip him up." She went in bodily fear of him, as he had threatened to swing on the gallows for her. Alderman Besley—What have you to say to the extra ordinary charge of washing your daughter ? Complainant—lt is not the first time, sir; he has done the same thing with other and older children. Prisoner-1 washed them for the benefit of their health. I'm too good a father to 'em, that I am. When I lived at Barnet there was'nt a family there that was up to mine for health. Alderman Besley—But why do you ill use your wife, she seems very unw €ll. Prisonser—l didn't do anything to her, she says I gave her a black eye, but it don't seem like it to look at her, Why she looks like she does at present is because she's been to all the hospitals in London. Alderman Besley , —That is stillagreater reason why you should not illtreat her. Where have have you placed your daughter, Prisoner—lv'e got her a situation to wait on an invalid lady in Northampton-street, Curtain-road, but I don't think she'll be strong enough for the place. As to quarrel ing with my wife, why most men do that; so that's nothing. I love my children too much—that's my fault. Alderman Besley—l shall remand this case, in order that ycur daughter and the other children may attend this court and answer some questions I shall put to them. The complainant—Oh, thank you, sir; that is just what I wanted. The poor woman, who had been compelled to sit during the whole of the case, then with difficulty left the court. WESTMINSTER. A LADY'S "LARK."—.Miss Ellen Summers, a fashion ably-attired young woman, was charged with knocking and ringing at doors without lawful excuse. William Watts, 253 B, said that a little before one this morning he was on duty in Ovington-square, when he saw the defendant in company with another lady and two gen tlemen. She suddenly left them, and going to 3, Oving ton-terrace, knocked Violently at the street door. She left there and then went to 9, Ovington-terrace, where she also knocked loudly. She then went to 17 and 29 Ovington square, and rung the bells violently. Witness then went up and took her into custody. Mr. Arnold—Did she say anything ? Witness, yes, sir. When I asked her why she had been knocking and ringing at the doors, she replied that she had done it for " a lark." Mr. Arnold—Was she sober ? Witness—She was not intoxicated, but she had taken something. Mr. Arnold (to defendant)—What have you to say to this ? Defendant--I am really very sorry, sir, for what I have done. Mr. Arnold—This sort of thing might have been very amusing to you, and probably was; but in all likelihood was nqt very agreeable to those who, by your conduct, were disturbed in their night's rest. _ _ _..... Policeman--I have seen the proprietors of three of the houses out of the four at which she knocked and rung, and have learned that three of them were not only disturbed but alarmed at the knocking, Prisoner —I am very sorry, Mr. Arnold—You are fined 205., and in default ecmmitted for 14 days. THAMES. A GREAT OBJECTION TO ANY PUNISHMENT AT ALL.-- Henry Bouch, a strange-looking man, aged 45, Was brought before Mr. Selfe, on a charge of stealing a pair of boots from outside the shop of Mr. William Boulding, in the Commercial-road. _ _ _ The prisoner was seen by Mrs. Boulding and a boy in her service to unfasten a string to which a pair of boots was attached, remove the boots, and run away with th e m. He was pursued aid stopped in York-street. The value of the boots was 4s. 9d. The prisoner asked the boy how the boots were fastened to which he replied, " They were twisted round a nail." The prisoner—And how did I take the boots. Witness —You untwisted them quick. The prisoner—Now, you can tell what time it was Witness—Yes, a little before ten o'clock. Mr. Selfe—Do you wish to go for trial ? The prisoner—No, not I. I have no wish to go for trial. Mr. Selfe—Do you wish me to settle the case hero ? The prisoner—No ; certainly not. I have a great ob jection to any punishment at all. Mr. Selfe—Then I shall commit you for trial. The prisoner—No, don't do that ; the consequences may be serious. (A laugh.) I consent to your punishing me, I have a great objecti on t o any punish although, mind , ment at all. Mr. Selfe-1 don't care . for your objections. You are sentenced to two months imprisonment and hard labour. A VILE WOMAN.—CIIARGE OF STABBlNG.—Eliza beth Hart, a woman of the town, was b roug h t before M r .

By Mrs. Gordon Smythies. 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. The accomplished lady who is the authoress of this sparking novel, " True to the Last"—and of how many other popular works of imagination ! must certainly be allowed to have long since taken herplace among the meet voluminous of those writers whose aim it is to eater to the innocent amusement of our age. Since the anonymous appearance of what was literally her maiden work"—Cousin Geoffrey having won its fair young author's first fame while she was yet in her girlhood (as Fanny, Burney had done towards the end of the last cen tury by her maiden work Erelina)—the writer of " Cousin Geoffrey" has been as indefatigabl e as she is apparently inexhaustible. By this time, w e take it, she must have written a pretty tolerable library. Fashionable novels, love stories, romances, Christmas tales, serials issued weekly in illustrated periodicals sold by tens of thousands ! Fictions like the present in the old legitimate three volumes octave—less elaborated plots in two volumes— others of a more compact and simple character in one, complete in itself ! Season after season Mrs. Gordon Smythies has been ready with her contr.- butioe, more frequently with her contributions, to the circulating libraries. Season after season at intervals —more particularly of late years—she has poured forth her serial imaginings through the medium of those provincial newsmen who are to the English multitude what the colporteurs are to the French. Ono of the most successful productions in this way--diffused far and wide throughout the United Kingdom as, for a long while, the chief attraction of one of the most widely circulated of our penny illustrated periodicals —wa s it not " Hope Evermore" in Cassell's Journal ?—won for itself (before its completion) the distinguished honour of being commended in a speech delivered by Lord Brougham! Without doubt, poor Theodore Book —had he survived until now—would have been proud of his fair young protegee. For it was under his editorship (as announced upon its first title page) that " Cousin Geoffrey" was originally published. While that vivacious narrative was the Alpha, the work now lying before us for our notice—as the new Novel of the Season " True to the Last" (as the authoress is to her own calling !)—is the Omega (as yet) of Mrs. Gordon Smythies' productions. For the sake of the " Alpha" alone, this " Omega" (for the time being) would have been not unwelcome. But together with the remembrance of its claims, comes the recollection of these of all Vie witnessing letters in this graceful illumination by Mrs. Smythies ot a very Alphabet of Fiction. " True to the Last" is true to the time in which it appears. It is, in some respects, essentially a Sen sation Novel. As a story it does not begin so much ab initio, after the old humdrum fashion (so long since become questionably fashionable), as it plunges with the true Horatian impetuosity n nzedias res. The sensational character of the work is indicated plaiely enough at the very outset. Quite as un mistakeably as though it had been by the famous " header" of the Colleen Dawn, or by the " bridge scene" of the Savourneen Deelish, or by the " ghost scene" and the apparition in the Corsican Brothers Scarcely has the reader got fairly into the first chapter when he becomes aware of events as sur prising as—let u:.- say—the following : a Terrific Railway Accident that has swept cut of existence " at one fell swoop" the whole of the elder branch of a noble house (Lord Cumbercourt), his lordship's, brother-in-law, Wilfred de Mowbray, and his two promising young sons, the elder of them of course heir to the title and estates ! By reason of which wholesale catastrophe the head of the younger branch of the house, a common-place Government clerk, is as suddenly transformed into the Earl of Cumbercourt, with an income —not of a few hundred a-year but—of £30,000 sterling ! Having a town mansion in Park-lane — an exquisite little villa on the banks of the Thames at Twiekenham—a Hall in Berkshire,—a Park in 'Wales—and a Castle in Scotland ! Pretty well —all this—to be shunted into by a railway casu alty. A glimmering notion of the plot that grows out of this initiatory clash may be afforded by e very few weds of explanation. Immediately price to the Accident we have just mentioned, the only child (a daughter) of the then Government clerk while staying in the country with an aunt (Mrs. Mervyn) at a pretty little sea-beaten village (Rock ness),falls in love with, and not only falls in love with, but becomes summarily affianced to ayoung ensign in a marching regiment. Shortly before that same Rail way Collision has metamorphosed Mr. De Mowbray, of her Majesty's Civil Service, into the Right Hon. the Earl of Cumbercourt, he himself being e widower, has not only become inopportunely affi anted, to like his daughter, but has actually taken to wife, the fat, and intensely vulgar widow of a well to-do fish salesman, one Mrs Chubb, nee Lobskin, a stout middle-aged person with £4OO a-year, and no H's! The Fish Salesman's Widow, Mrs. Chubb that was, Miss Lobskin that had been, upon rising from the comparative dignity of Mrs. De Mowbray to the superlative dignity of the Countess of Cum , bercourt—furnishes, together with her whole family ' of the Lobskins, Pere etfils, oncle et nerue, the " low comedy" of the plot. " The Countess" is an exag gerated specimen of the parvenu peeress, as repre sented in " Countess —" (the milliner that had been), whose patronising manners so tickled the sense of humour of the fastidious Pelham—how many years ago ? Exactly one whole generation ago, fire-and thirty years ago, at the Ball in the Assembly Rooms at Cheltenham. Whatever Moliere's " Medecin malgre .lui," that comical vagabond Sganarelle may have done with our human anatomy—transposing the liver and heart, placing the cceur at the droit and the foie at the gauche, in the deportment of the parvenu as seen ir. 1827, and again in 1862, one can recognise no yell appreciable difference. We can scarcely venture, at any rate, to assert with the mock-physician's sublime confidence " nous avons change tout cela r As either of these countesses—Pelham, by the wickedly calls his the " counter-countess" (and the phrase is applicable to both these stout ladies)—as either of these countesses might say of themselves, though separated from each other by the distance of a whole genera tion, they were really "much of a muchness." Turning, however, from the low-comedy characters to the romantic lover-class of characters in " True to the Last"—what might we not say of that by comparison ? 'Why that it is when contrasted with the set just particularised as the creme de la creme might be to the sky blue ! Fancy the loveliest of heroines, with the name of Adele de Mowbray —et the Lady Adele de Mowbray ! Loving and beloved by a delightful dark-eyed young hero —an officer in the English army—one Claude Temple ! The Lady Adele has a charming little blue-ey e d bl onde as her c o nfidante, a "sister con," ch r i stened Isabella, but familiarly known as Bluebell. She, in her turn, loves, but at the outset i s not beloved by dazzling colonel of Cl au d e ' s regiment, Coloneyl li.liee velyan, the Hon. Jasp er T revelyan t Than all this what could any one reasonably wish as the "raw material" to be worked uaccording t Ms. Gordon Smythies' known skil l love story of now-a-dayst Or at any in the aatrte,,o iifnatnorya thing should b e thought to be still wanting r towards that end— vo i c i ! It is here in the villain of the tale--a mali gnant, scoundr ' elly, one-eyed attorney, Vipont Crawley by name—a creature with a hor ribly mutilated right hand, a lean brown hand, ' from which (long before the story opens) the first and se cond fingers have been cut off at the roots by a dinner knife ! Vipont Crawley—the very name for such a wre t c h ! It being an odd circumstance, however, by the way, that Crawley seems s o much ot a pet n ame for the villains w ith our nove li sts. Who does not remember the Crawleys of Vanity Fair, as traced out upon his enduring tablets by Mr. Thackeray— with t h e point of a scalpel, and then deliberatively- bit into the metal with aquafortis? Who again that has ever read the "Florence Maear thy"of Lady Morgan will ever lose the recollection of the " Crawley" in that powerful narrative. Here i s the latest son of the race—Vipont Crawley, 1 unmistakeably of the same stock, and not a degenerate specimen in his way ! A viper-like crawling way, it is, as his very name seems to indi cate. As to the intricacies of the plot of the story, as first of all ingeniously and apparently inextri cably ravelled by the hands of our lady nove.ist, and as afterwards quite as dexterously, na7l, far more dexterously, unravelled again—those we are certainly not here going to epitomise cruelly in a few cold-blooded sentences! We bear in remem • brence Mr. Wilkie Collins' appeal to the critics in his Preface to the .‘ Woman in Whi te. " A n d w h a t was appropriately uttered in deprecation, in the weface to that paragon of Sensation Novels, might be quite as appropriately uttered in reference to any other novel coming within the same category as a Sensational Successor. All we shall venture to add, therefore, is that, in "True to the Last," Mrs. Gordon Smythies has illustrated anew how, while in the household words of Shak sPere, " the course of true love never did run smooth," those who are (like characters in this tale that shall here be nameless) " True to the Last," find in tho end the long-wished for, and often despaired of, reward of constancy. As a fashionable love story, the work is worthv—we could not say more of it than this —of the author of " Cousin Geoffrey." DESTRUCTIVE FIRES. During yesterday mornin g and last night several fires occurred in the metropolis. One fire took place in the immense range of premises forming Nos. 50, 51, 52, and 53, S t . J ames's -street, known as the \Vellington Restaurant, formerly Crockford's Club house. The disaster was caused from the heat of thefurnace boiler. The alarm having been promptly given, the various inmates were able to effect their escape. The engines from the various stations quickly attended, and owing to the exertions of all present the fire was confined to a limited space on the second floor, but the ceilings under were da maged by water. It was unknown whether the property was insured or not. A fire happened about 10 o'clock yesterday morning in the premises of L. Lowrins, Esq., in the New Hampstead-road. The engines were soon in attendance, and plenty of water haying been pro cured, the firemen went well to work, but, although aided by 28 hired auxiliaries, they were unable to get the mastery over the flames until the property was nearly destroyed. The sufferer was insured in the Sun and Hand-in-Hand Insurance Offices. Yesterday afternoon, shortly before 3 o'elock a fire took place from a somewhat singular cause. It appears that a barge was laden with preserved tim ber, for the new bridge at Hungerford-market, and as some of the men were engaged knocking in a red-hot rivet irflew out of the socket of the bridge and falling upon the prepared timber and coals, ret the vessel and contents in flames. The engines of the London Brigade, Messrs. Hodges, the distillers, Gcding's brewery, and the powerful land and float ing steam engines by Shand and Mason, of Black friars, were early in arriving, but the fire could not be extinguished until the vessel and its contents were severely damaged. It is unknown whether the owner was insured or not. Yesterday morning an alarming fire broke out at .Nc. 11, Castle-terrace, Kentish Town, which at one time threatened considerable devastation. The fire was discovered soon after one o'clock, after the family had retired to rest, and was stated to have occurred from some clothes in the back par lowr catching fire. The parish engine attended, and other engines followed, and after some delay the exertions of the fire brigade succeeded in subduing the flames. The house was completely destroyed, but fortunately the premises on either side were preserved, with the exception of some damage. This is the third fire this week in Camden and Kentish Towns. There is no fire station in the neighbour.. hood, and until lately no fire-engine was stationed. at Camden Town. There are neither fire nor escape stations at Kentish Town. THE PRODUCE MARKET (From Joseph Ttavers and Son's Weekly Circular.) The produce markets continue on the whole with a healthy tone, and have been further strengthened by the change in the rats of discount, which is likely to induce helders to refuse to make any unprofitable sales. Tea—The market for this aaticle has been remarkably dull, and transactions have been few and unimportant. Prices, nominally, remained unaltered. From the trade the inquiry is limited. We invito the attention of large buyers to our special quotations in lots, which we offer at he closest possible prices. Coffee-1n the face of heavy sales advertised for next week, the market has closed with extreme firmness. Prices of all descriptions manifest an upward tendency; and in some cases finer kinds of Plantation show an advance. Na tive Ceylon sellE at 70s Gd to 71s for good ordinary, 72s to 74s Gd for fine. Purchases of the later hare been made to a good extent. Sugar—Raw—A good business has taken place, and pr,ces have been strongly supported. Brown descriptions Are about Gd dearer. Good grocery qualities from 37s to 40s. are pleantiful and cheap, and steadily m a i n _ rain their value. Fine raw sugar is not to be obtained. Übe public sales have been as follows :—Colonial West India-892 hogsheads, 53 tierce, 134 Barbadoes, low heavy 33s 6d to 345, good grocery 37s to 40s 6d , 167 hogsheads, 33 tierces, 55 barrels Jamaica, good grey 34s to 355, good yellow 36s to 37s ; 134 hogsheads, 100 barrels St. Vincent; 166 hogsheads, 93 tierces, 88 barrels Grenada, very low 31s, greyish refining 33s to 35s 6d ; 110 hogsheads, 21 tierces, 117 barrels Tobago, 32s to 35s 6d ; 36 hogsheads, 780 barrels various descriptions, 32s for low heavy yellow, to 3.5 s for strong brown. Foreign-722 hogsheads, 319 barrels Porto Rico, low yellow 365, good grocery 38s to 425. East India, Mauritius, &c-135 bags Benares, good yellow 41s ; 450 bags Native Madras, 29s to 30s 6d ; 4,500 bags grocery Madras, grainy 36s Gd to 40s 6d, yellow syrups 34s to 37s Gd; 2,298 mats Mauritius, 288 6d to 30s for brown, 40s to 42s Gd for semi-grain yellow. Refined—No further ad vance has taken place in this market, but the demand is well maintained, and the present supplies being short, the value of all kinds is firmly upheld. The inquiry from the country fully equals that of last week. Fruit—Currants—Only a moderate business has been done, and prices are rather easier ; we quote 6d lower for common only. Valencias remain unaltered. There have been no public sales. Accounts from the currant districts promise an extraordinarily early and very fine crop. " Zante, July 15, 1862 —We beg to confirm our last report 6f Ist inst., to which we have only to add, that we have had since then fine hot forcing weather, which has greatly benefited our currants. Some partial gatherings in early localities are likely to take place by the end of the month, but we do not think that the fi rs t cutt i ngs will be genral existing rates until spi the e e s- Bth u a r n e d b a l s O e t s h proximo." continuer ox i m o .' o ' be made at t with confidence, and a good business has been done. Nutmegs sell freely. 128 cases at auction, were all disposed of, fine sorts reali s i ng very full prices, 25 cases mace, of common quality, went at sale rather cheaper. Gin g er.— G•ger.

CONFESSION OF THE FORDINGBRIDGE MIIRPER.-- The wretched man Gilbert, who was convicted a t Win hes e a t e r last week of the wilful murder of Miss Hall, as mad full confession of his guilt. He says he lay in wait for hot., and when she came near the ditch he pounced upon her and throttled, but did not kill her. He then tied her hands be hind her, used her very brutally, and left her then alive, but shortly returned and dragged her up the ditch, and then left her dead, but he must have untied her hands, as when the body was found her hands were not tied. His execu tion will take place on Monday week. The Vienna journals state that the ex-King of Naples has just purchased near the Austriau capital for 196,000 f. the place of, amusement called the " New World." The works necessary to convert it into a com fortable villa are to be commenced in a few days, and, according to the orders given, it is to be completed by the Ist January, 1863.
