Plaintiff re plied, " Unless you enter an appeararice judgment will go by default, and they will get their expenses, which may be serious." Defendant asked how much that would cost, and upon being informed 10s., paid that suns, telling plain. tiff that he should have no more to do with it. It further appeared that the son was over age, but Mr. Barnard urged that it was perfectly clear the father had authorised the son to employ plaintiff, His Honour—lt is not perfectly clear, Mr. Barnard, and I shall be obliged to tell the jury so. His Honour was about to sum up, when the jury said, " We are all agreed." His Honour—Agreed upon what ? Jury—We find for the defendant. Verdict for defendant. POLICE-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Mr. Gee said that on Wednesday morning he gave the boy, who had been in his employ some time, a cheque on the London and Westminster Bank and told him to get it cashed and to bring him back the money. The prisoner iled to do so, and he saw no more of him until he was in the custody of the po'ice. On inquiry at the bank ho found the prisoner had received the money. Levi Libby, G 182, said he was called by Mr. Thomp son, pawnbroker, of Little Bath-strew, Clerkenwell, the previous day, the prisoner having offered the whip pro duced for sale. At first the prisoner said he had found the whip, but afterwards said it belonged to his father, who was a jockey. On searching the prisoner he found £3 13s. on him in gold and silver. The prisoner's father was a working jeweller, and the prisoner had a brother who he heard was a bad character. The father said he was ob liged to turn the prisoner cut of the house. Mr. Knox asked Mr. Gee whether ho had any character with him, and he replied in the negative. Mr. Knox—And yet you entrusted him with a cheque to get cashed. Mr. Gee said he had entrusted the boy with money be fore. The prisoner said he found the whip on Hampton race. course. Mr. Knox said he supposed the wretched boy had robbed his master to go to Hampton races. It was a puzzle with him to know what to do with such a boy. Mr. Gee said he believed it was the prisoner's first offence ; and, as his father had turned him out, he hoped his worship would be lenient with him, the more so, as he Olr. Gee) had heard it was all thrcu,;ll the prisoner's father. Mr. Knox said all he could do was to give the prisoner a short punishment; but if the prisoner went to the House of Oorrection amongst all the thieves, he would have his future character ruined, and there would be a conviction for felony standing in his teeth for tho rest of his life. He would remand the boy for a week to the House of Deten tion, and in tho meantime would consider what could be done. WESTMINSTER. A CHARITABLE DISPOSITION CARRIED TOO PAR. — Robert Samkies, a cab prop ietor and driver, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a live tame duck. Stephen Thompson, 329 V, said he was on duty at three o'clock that morning in the King's-road, when he saw the prisoner, who was driving a cab, come down from his seat, pick up the duck, which was by the roadside, and put it in his cab. Withess told is constable on duty at the police station, and. prisoner was followed and taken into custody. Prisoner—A dog was worrying and tormenting the duck so I took it up and put it into my boot to prevent its being hurt. Mr. Arnold—You took the duck out of pure charity then. Cabman—Yes, your worship. Mr. Arnold—Was there any dog there, witness ? Policeman—Yes, there was a pointer dog there smelling about. Mr. Arnold—Was it following or worrying the duck ? Policeman—lt was not worrying the duck, but the duck was afraid, and was running away from it. Prisoner—So I thought it was best to put it into my boot. Enoch Pulford, 316 E, said that the former witness told him he had seen the prisoner put the duck into his cab, and he followed him and told him he understood he had got a duck in his cab. Prisoner replied that he had not, that the duck was gone over the fence, and that if witness went there he would find it. Witness examined the cab, and finding the duck under the seat, took prisoner in charge. The owner of the duck having identified it, Mr. Arnold said—Prisoner, I was disposed at first to pay some regard to your statement that you had taken up the duck to prevent its being worried by the dog; but you seem to have carried your charity too far, and, when asked by the constable, denied that you had got the duck, and said it was gone over a fence Prisoner—Yes, I did ; and I am sorry for it, Mr, Arnold—You are remanded till Tuesday. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN. - - The report of the directors to the shareholders for special general meeting, to be held on July 3, states that tbey have deemed it necessary to call their proprietors together, to consult with them on the question of the proposed pur chase of the railway beween Petersfield and Midhurat. This line was authorised by Parliament in 1860. It is 101 miles in length, starting from the Petersfield station on the London and South Western (Portsmouth) line, and running eastward to INlidhurst, where it unites with the Mid-Sussex lines, which are in the hands of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Company. The capital autho rised by the Act of Incorporation, 23 and 24 Vic., cap. 173, is £lOO,OOO. The shares of the Petersfield Railway Com pans are to be transferred into the names of parties nomi nated by the directors of this company ; and the direetot•s of the Petersfield Company will concur in the appointment of a board of directors, nominated by the South-Western Board. The sum of £18,040 being paid for the shares alteady issued and for the works emecuted under the certi ficate of this company's engineer, together with £B,OOO to the directors of the Petersfield Railway, in discharge of the liabilities of that company, other than those under the contracts for the construction of the line—the last-men tioned sum being paid, the one half at the same time as the £13,040 before-mentioned, and the other half on the ap proval of the Board of Trade on the completion of the works. _ _ _ The works have already been commenced, and the con tractors are prepared to push them on with rapidity, and to complete them in a year's time. The lino is to be con structed for a single Has of railway, but with land and masonry for a double line should it hereafter be found neces sary, The contract for the whole of the works, land, &c. (stations alone excepted), has been taken on terms wLich will make the total cost to this company (including the above-mentioned sums of £15,040 and £3,000) £106,000. BOMBAY, BARODA, AND CENTRAL INDIA.

SUN OFFICE, SEVEN O'CLOCK. HANDEL FESTIVAL THIS DAY. The t hird and last of these performances was quite WI n.thy of its precursors, and gave a noble climax t if) a most successful celebration. Everything tended a s on Monday to the 'Complete enjoyment of the eveint. The sky, which in the morning had been cold and lowering, again cleared up as the day advanced —and about noon the Palace and land scape w ere bathed in one glow of radiance. Had it been otherwise, however, the public had made up their minds to come. The railway stations were thronged as usual, and before the time of com mencement the 15,000 ticket holders were fairly in th dr seats, in addition to some thousand other who thronged the building upon payment. This attraction will not seem ex traordinary when our readers bear in mind that the " Israel in Egypt," which was the oratorio of the day, is distinguished by containing some of the grandest choruses of Handel, and, of course, with the wonderful force of voice that was as sembled, the chorus in particular was the music the public wished to hear. Nevertheless, though less required than by the the " Messiah," where the airs and recitatives form on the contrary so striking a feature, the solo exeeutants on this occasion were not of infericr power. They still presented Madame Titiens and Madame Dolby, together with Madame Rudersdorf, Mr. Sims Reeves, Mr. Weiss, and Signor Belletti. Despite their diminished opportunities, all these artists :displayed their accustomed force and ex cellence. Madame Sainton-Dolby gave most im pressively the air, " Their land brought forth," as well as the other assigned her, "Thou shalt bring them in," honourably partaking with Mr. Sims ReeVes the great merit of of the duet, " Thou in thy mercy." Signor Belletti and Mr. Weiss renewed all their old ale , brity in the noble duet, " The Lord is a man of war ;" whilst Mr. Sims Reeves, in the grandly defiant air in which the threats of the Egyptian host is described—" The enemy has said" —poured out his superb voice with all the echoing tone of a trumpet--and won-,though againstetiquette —a well-deserved encore. For Madame Titiens, however, was again reserved the chief honours of the day, owing to her magnificent delivery of " Thou didst flow"—in which her wonderful tones seemed to sweep the extent of the building, and of the jubilant air " Sieg ye to the Lord"—that was almost worthy of the lips of a PropheteSs. Of the execution of the choruses we can only repeat the eulogies we so heartily bestowed on Monday. They were delivered with not merely a power of sound far transcending anything yet listened to, but with a musical taste, knowledge, and feeling which made them an enjoyment just as great in an artistic asa vocal sense, Time, co'our, sentiment, no quality was wanting to develope faithfully these grandest of all haimenic combinations—to reveal their minutest beauty, together with their most astounding . power. Take as an instance the four which mark the opening of the fi st p ar t—the im pressive sadness of "The Children of Israel" — the surging spirit of "They loathed their drink," the sublime enunciation of "He spake the word"—one of the most perfect inspira tions which ever expeeled the mind of Handel ; and the wonderfully constructed Hail-storm chorus, with all its variety of antiphonal effects, and its combinative art, which suggests in the fusion of its separate voice parts, the flow and subsidence of waves, each of these was discrimi nated with a vigour, fire, and precision, that whelmed the hearer in a feeling of as much wonder as enjoyment. And quite worthy of these, in the second part, was the delivery of " I will exalt him " a perfect burst of sublime energy. " Thy right hand, oh, Lord," which had a spirit that was most extraordinary. and still finer, perhaps, than either. " Aud with the blast," which comprehended so many of the f2atures of the three. All these again were ren dered with a power, taste, and feeling that were e very way es honourable to the singers as the music. In conclusion, we feel bound, with the world at large, to tender our acknowledgments to Mr. Costs, to whose skill, vigour, and decision SO much of the success of these great performances have undeniably been owing, and who, with the members of the Sacred Harmonic Society and the directors of the Crystal Palace, may be fairly congratulated on the great success which has crowned their labours on this occasion. We feel convinced that every one that has heard and is qualified to judge of these performances,whether he beEnglishman or foreigner, will readily admit that they have fulfilled an end which is not more honourable to our national love of music as an enjoyment than to the position we have arrived at in its cultivation as an art. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—TiIIs EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at four o'clock. ---- - EAST GLOUCESTER RAILWAY BILL. Wiliam Isaac, clerk to Mr. Baodle, solicitor, Chelten ham, and John Preston, town-crier, Chel'enham, at tended at the bar at 4 o'clock in obedience to an order of the house, obtained by the Duke of Richmond, to answer for having obtained a number of signatures to a petition presented to that hou,e on the 22d of May, against the East G loucestershire Rail way. The persons at the bar were examined at great length by the Lord Chancellor, Lords Cranworth, Brougham, and Wensleydale, when it appeared •they had been acting under the instruction of Mr. Linwood and hi.‘ clerk, where upon tho Lord Chancellor moved that Wm. Isaacs and John Preston be discharged, but that they be ordered to attend next Friday, and that Mr. Linwood and his clerk be also required to attend. Their lordships adjourned during pleasure. Their lordships resumed at five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. BANKRUPTS. The following bills were read a second time :—Great Western, Hereford, Ross, and Gloucester, and Ely Valley Railway—Metropolitan and Thames Valley Rail way—London, Chatham—and Dover (Extension), Tot tenham and Hampstead Junction Railway—London, Chat ham, and Dover, and Mid Kent Railway (Bromley to Fcot's Cray)—Liverpool Fire Prevention Acts Amend ment—West Miallitml, and Severn Valley Railway—Seven• oaks Railway—Eastern Counties Railway (Epping lines). The following bills were read a third time and pass€d : St. , Thomas's Hospital—Ashborne and Belper Roads —London and North-Western Railway and Chester and Holyhead Railway (Capital)—Red House and Weeland Roads—Stockton and Darlington, South Durham and Lancashire Union, &c., Railways—Liverpool Corpora tion Water—GiTat Western Railway (additional powers)— and Mortimllampstead and South Devon Railway. THE RED SEA TELEGRAPH. The report of the amendment on this bill having been brought up, Lord REDESDALE objected to the loose manner in which the bill was drawn up. After the liabilities incurred by the Government with respect to the guarantee to the previous company, it was very desirable that both the com pany and the Government should know exact'y how they stood. The Earl of CAMPERDOWN agreed in every respect with the noble lord. lie had expected to find a contract in the schedule, but it it appeared there was only an arrange ment between the Treasury and the Company. He ob• jected to a liability of two millions being incurred in this loose manner. The Duke of ARGYLL said that after a full inquiry a committee of the House of Commons had reported in favour of the guarantee to the company which had failed. The Government thought it was too great a risk to restore the cable at their own expetse, but a new ornpany had come forward and offered to do so if they were guaranteed a profit of 25 per cent. in the event of the experiments being a success. There was, therefore,no risk to the Government, and ho contended that it was fully pro vided for in the bill. - The LORD CHANCELLOR said the bill made the best of a bad bargain, for without it a sum of £300,000 was actu ally lost,whereas now without any further risk in the event of failure it might be turned to account. As regards the validity of the agreement ho thought the bill defective, and suggested an addition to the first section, which would make it perfectly clear and binding. [LEFT SITTING.] Average HOUSE OF COMMONS—This DAY. The SPEAXER took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the following bills were con. sidered and agreed to and ordered for third reading : Bala and Dolgelly Ritway—Corwen and Bala Railway— r Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway (Addi ti nal Powers). The Munbee's Divorce Bill was read a third time and passed, arukthe Macintosh Farr Fund Bill was read a second time. POOR RELIEF (IRELAND) (No. 2) BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, and resumed the consideration of the bill at clause 21, which relates to the dismissal of poor-law officials for incapacity by the commissioners. On a motion of Sir 11. BRUCE, that the boards of guar dians should be joined in the power of dismissing these officials, a discussion of some length ensued, in the course of which it was contended that the adoption of the amend ment would disturb the harmony that subsisted between the commissioners and the board of guardians. Ultimately the amendment was withdrawn. Mr. COGAN then moved an amendment to the effect that such officers as the commissioners could dismiss should not be dismissed without the approval of the board of guardians, which was also withdrawn. Mr. COGAN then moved an amendment substantially the same as the preceding, and the committee divided. For the amendment Against Majority —2s Mr. SCULLY, adopting the suggestion of Mr Maguire, n the course of the discussion moved the insertion of a provisio—that inability to be elected a guardian for five years should extend to casss only where the dismissal of officials had taken place for a criminal offence, on which the committee divided — For the amendment Against Majority The clause was then agreed to, as was also clause 22. On clause 23, Col. GREVILLE moved an amendment to the effect that the Chief and Under Secretary for Ireland should cease to be members of the Poor. law Commission. Sir G. GREY objected to the amendment, as it would deprive Government of the responsibility which he thought it was desirable for the public should bo released. Mr. SCULLY said he would agree to the motion if the amendment were adopted. He drew the attention of the committee to the facts, that out of the five members of the Poor Law Board, four were Englishmen, and not one a Roman Catholic. He objected to such a constitution, and considered that the Commissioners should all be Irishmen, three Roman Catholics, one a member of the Church Es tablishment, and the other a Presbyterian. Some discussion followed, and Colonel GRENILLE consented to modify his amend ment, by allowing the Chiet Secretary for Ireland to retain his place at the Board, provided the Under-Secretary were removed. Sir R. PEEL said he agreed with some of the speakers, that the Roman Catholics should bo reresented at the Board ; and he believed that if any alteration took place, such would be the case. However, he could assure the committee that nothing could exceed tire impartiality of the members of the Board; and he trusted that the Under- Secretary would not be removed from the Board, consider ing the ability he displayed. After a few words from Lord J. MANNERS and Mr. MAGurn.t, the amendment was withdrawn. Lord HAAS moved an amendment to the eff ct that the commissioners should be continued in office for five years instead of three years longer, but the amendment was withdrawn after some discussion. The clause, which was the last of the bill, was then agreed to. Sir It. PE EL then moved the first clause, which had been postponed, and which related to the repeal of the existing enactments as regarded chargeal ility. By the alteration proposed paupers should be cha , ged to the electoral div . sions of the union where they had been the longest resident, and lived for not less than two years as aforesaid, and that every other pauper should be chargeable to the union at la/ go. It was provided that this alleviation should apply only to those persons who received relief after the passing of the present act, those who were now receiving relief being chargeable to the union or electoral division from which they were at present receiving relief. Mr. BLAKE moved an amendment to the effect that the persons referred to in the act should be charged to the union at large. After some discussion the house divided — For the amendment Against it Major ity .. Some discussion then arose on an amendment proposed by Col. Herbs,: t, in which Mr. Conolly and Col. Dunne took part, but further progress with the b,ll was stopped by the Chairman leaving the chair. At four o'clock the sitting was suspended. At six the house resumed, and was LEFT SITTING.

MARK LANE. The supply of English wheat on sale here this morning, though small, was somewhat larger than on the last few market days• Owing to the favourable change in the weather, there was decidedly less firmness in. the trade, and Monday's quotations were barely supported. The show of foreign wheat was tolerably extensive, and the demand was in a sluggish-state on rather easier terms for inferior qualities. Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request a' ,ate currencies. Tho trade for barley ruled steady, and prices wero fairly maintained, Malt changed hands to a fair average extent at full quo- rations, Good and fine oats moved off steadily at quite previous rates ; otherwise the oat trade wag dull on former terns. Beans and peas were disposed of at the extreme prices of Monday, The supply on offer was small. The flour trade was steady. In the quotations no change took place. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley.

(Per Persia, via Roclie't, Point.) The Confederates made a bald dash upon the 14th, with a large force of cavalry and artillery before Richmond. They passed round the right [? left] flank of Gen. M'Clellan's army, cut the telegraph wires, and injured the railroad from the West Point. They also destroyed forage and tents, took. many pri soners, and retreated safely. Intercepted official Confederate despatches show that General Jackson acted in accordance with direct instructions to prevent Genera M‘Dowell or Fremont from reinforcing General M'Clellan. The Confederates, 65,000 strong, are reported to be concentrated at Grenada, Mississippi. Part of Beauregard's army is still in the neigh bourhood of Columbus and Okolona. Severe fighting has occurred in the neighbour hood of Baton Rouge, but the result is unknown. Fighting has also taken place at James Island, near Charleston, without decisive result. The New Fork Times says that the British prize ship Circassian has been condemned at Key West. General Fremont's army is reported short of supplies, and in a precarious position ; in the Valley of the Shenandoah. General Jackson has been heavily reinforced, and Fremont is falling back to Mount Jackson. Confederate guerillas continue hovering around the rear of General M•Clellan's army. It is supposed that Congress will certainly pass the bill for the issue of an additional 150,000,000 dols. of demand notes. The House of Representatives has passed the Senate Bill prohibiting slavery in all the territories of the United States. Affairs in New Orleans are unchanged.

The principal exhibitors of the articles of French industry, impressed with the idea that the visit of Prince Napoleon to this country ought not under existing circumstances to be allowed to pass by without a public recognition on their part, last night entertained his Imperial Highness at a magnificent banquet in the refreshment rooms of the Great International Exhibition, when upwards of 300 gentlemen sat down to a feast of the most recherche character, the wines for which were sup plied from the cellars of the principal exhibitors of French produce. In an English entertainment of a like character, the principal guest of the evening would take his seat at the right of the president; but our Gallic neighbours, in a refinement of etiquette which we can scarcely understand, place the invited in the position of the principal inviter, and therefore the banquet last night was presided over by Prince Napoleon, _who was supported by a prefect, a body of men honoured with the Cross of the Legion of Honour, and by Earl Granville, the President of the Commissioners of the International Exhibition. Prince NAPOLEON, in proposing the first toast, sad he had to call upon his fellow-countrymen at present resident in England to show that they duly appreciated the excellence of the rules under which they were living. It was, however, im passible to glance at the present position of Queen Victoria without a deep feeling of regret at the loss which not only the English nation but the people at large had sustained in the death of his Royal Highness the late Prince Consort. The toast was most enthusiastically received_ Earl GRANVILLE returned thanks, and on behalf of the Commissioners of the Exhibition gave expres sion to the feelings of gratitude which animated them towards the Emperor of the French for the material aid which he had afforded them in rendering as per fect as possible the Groat International Exhibition. He hoped his Imperial Majesty would not rest con tented with a second-hand account of all that was to be E. een, but would, accompanied by the Empress, soon come to this country to witnes the Exhibition, and feel a legitimate pride at the high position oc cupied in it by the French exhibitors. (Hear hear.) In conclusion he would give them the toast " Viva l'Empereur !" (Cheers.) The toast having been duly responded to, ternitCi o a n ß a L l , Exhibitors, President a. of o t n h e his Committee a o l f f t a li n e d I o n n the behalf of those who acted with him, presented. an address of welcome to his Imperial Highness, and assured him of the gratification which they all hi s attendance on the pie-., felt at bang hon oured by sent occasion. Prince NAPOLEON returned thanks. He thought he said that so much progress had been made in re gard to the holding of international exhibitions that i t was now impossible to go back. He hoped next year to see a building like the present erected in Paris for a similar purpose, and that Englishmen would be found to sot as the French had now acted, and agree to do all in their power to make the com ing exhibition a success. Earl GRAN' ILLE then proposed " Success to the forthcoming Exhibition at Paris," and stated his belief that there were no means so efficient for bind ing nation to nation as organisations of this kind. M. ROUH ER , Mi n i ster o f P u bli c W o rks and Agriculture, p ro p ose d " The Union of France and England," a toast which was most enthusiastically received. The proceedings then terminated in the usual' manner. The saloon was elegantly decorated for the occasion, flags being tastefully suspended from one side d the apartment. A band of music played at intervals " Partant pour Ia Syrie," and other popular French airs. The whole affair passed off most satisfactorily.
