IMPORTANT TO NEWS AGENTS—D-4.WSON V. GILL;aI. This was an action to recover for the supply of a periodi • cal, defendant pleading never indebted, except as to 4s. Plaintiffs in this case arc the well known news agents of Cannon-street, and defendant is a surgeon. Plaintiffs' agent said he had received an order to supply the Lancet newspaper to the defendant. The paper was sent each weekrregularly. His Honour—Have you the order? Witness—l have made every search for it, but I can't find it. Defendant—l admit that I ordered the newspaper, and I received it for six weeks. I was then employed in the Cunard service, and countermanded the order. Plaintiffs' agent—l never received the countermand. Defendant—l do not know Messrs. Dawson at all. The facts al e these. I ordered the paper from the Lancet office. Plaintiffs' agent—Yes, that would be so. The Lancet sends us all orders. If you were to send an order to the Times, they would not send the paper, but would forward the order to a news agent. _ _ HI 8 IC4i 4 Defendant--I wrote to the Lvu'et when I received my appointment, and countermanded the future supply. His Honour -You wrote to the Lanect ? _ _ _ Defendant—Just so, and I can prove that I did so. Plaintiff's agent —We never had that letter. His Honour—That may be a very good ground of action against the Lancet fur negligence, but defendant has pro. tected himself. If a reader countermands the supply of a paper ho is not, bound to return those sent alter the counter • mind. Plaintiffs then will have averdict for 4s. 10,32 POLICE---THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A GANG OF JUVENILE SHOP-LIFTERS.--Mary Frances Lyons, Sarah Firmin, and Mary Eliza Duffall, the eldest of whom was not more than 14 years of age, were charged before Mr. Knox with stealing some gauntlets from the shop of Mr. Henry Watts, hosier, &c., of Oxford •street, and a piece of cotton print from Messrs. Stagg and Mantle's, Leicester-square. The prisoner Firmin has been twice in custody on a similar charge, and her brother was committed from this court yesterday. 1011 1 The girls went into the shop of Mr. Watts, asked to see some gauntlets, and after looking at a number, said none would suit, and they would call again. The assistant said they could not leave till they had given up the gauntlets they had about them, when they denied having any, but a pair was found on each, and at their feet a piece of cotton print, which was identified by a person from Messrs. Stagg and Mantle's. The father of Duffall said that Firmin, whose character he was not acquainted with, came to his house yesterday and asked him to let his daughter go for a short walk with her, and he gave her permission to do so, little thinking what her object was. Mr. Knox said he would. give Duffel' up to her father, but he would advise him to take great care of her for the future. Bunce, C division, said he knew the girl Firmin as a very bad character, and she had been twice in custody. Mr. Knox said he should commit Firmin for three months with hard labour, and remand Lyons for a week. WE STM INS fER. A LAWYER'S PRIVILEGES.-Mr, Robert Blake, a person of gentlemanly address, was charged with creating a dis `urbane° while in a state of drunkenness at the Victoria- 112 1061 1081 1 I station. George Grebe, cab-inspector at the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, said that at 5 o'clock last evening the defendant was there drunk, and caused a number of people to congregate around him. Witness requested him to go away, he would not. His language was very bad, and when spoken to he said he was a lawyer and would do as he liked. As witness could not prevail upon him to go away he locked him up. H e h a d s h or tly b efore endeavoured to force himself into an omnib us . Mr. Paynter—H e was di s t ur bi ng others on the station ? Witness—He was. Mr. Paynter—Aud said he was a l awyer, and would do as he liked ? Witness—He did, your worship. Defendant—l admit the drunkenness. I had had an early dinner and taken too much hock. Mr. Paynter—Lawyers can't do what they like more than any other people. Defendant-L-I must really deny that I made that obser vation. I}ff 382:9i 1381 4! 401 40 goi 11 12} i Mr. Paynter—You are fined 203. Defendant —Allow me to say I shall appeal, if I have an opportunity of doing so. I should like to know why so heavy a fine is imposed. Mr. Paynter—lt is a serious matter to create a disturb ance and obstruction at a railway —more than at many other places. A person in the profession of the law ought to set a better example. Defendant--I am not . a lawyer. I think this fine is very excessive. Mr. Paynter—l do not consider it so. Dcfendant—Pavour toe with the nice distinction that fines me 20s. and another man ss. for the same oficnea Mr. Paynter—ln the administration of justice fines vary in amount according to the ability of the person to pay, and in your position I have considered this a proper amount. A greater obedience to the law and a better example aro expected from persons of your class than those of a lower degree. Defendant was then informed there was no appeal. SHIPPING -THIS DAY.

He was su mmoned as a witness ; but, founding upon the inviolability of th e C on f ess i onal, he first refused to swear that he would tell "th e w h ole truth, " a prosecution u and then demurred to answer sundry questions that were put to him, on the ground that a priest, knowing any cir cumstance only as a priest, in his official capacity, even though not in the confessional, taut not reveal it. The court considering this too liberal a view of a clergyman's privilege, threatened committal, but on Mr. M'Lauchlin asking for time to consider, the case was adjourned till yes terday ( Thursday), when Mr. M'Lauchlin was again brought forward and asked to what resolution he had come to on the subject. He reiterated his refusal to answer the question, on the ground of conscientious scruples. He was then sentenced to thirty days' imprisonment. Some marks of disapprobation ensued in court, W h ich, however, were speedily suppressed. PUGILISM. —PATSY REARDON AND SAS.

Yesterday morning, about 8 o'clock, a communication was made between the fifth shaft trench that has been dug from the pit mouth and the Dearn and Dove canal, and the water was allowed to flow into the work; When the pit is at work about 50 cubic yards of wri_o4' ...tea removed from the low dip workings per day. Ptinnvizr having ceased since Monday forenoon, there will be in the lowest part of the pit about 250 'cubio yards of water, It is the intention of the engineers to fill up two broad gates, each 300 yards long and Eft. Gin, broad by 7ft.high, which will give 80,900 cubic feet of space. 01 this 750 ft. are filled by the water accumulating in the mine, and the stream of water is at present running in at the rate of 400 cubic feet per hour. In the space that will be thus submerged it is believed no bodies will be found, so that the friends of the deceased men will not have this trouble to aggravate their already deeply wounded feelings. When sufficient water has been inn into the pit, the engineers in charge will take steps to as certain the, state of affairs below, and, if the fire is out, mea sures will at once be taken to recover the bodies, The temperature yesterday, in the downcast shaft, at 12 o'clock, was 42 degrees, and in the upcast 55 degrees. There was a small quantity of smoke issuing from the cupola. The re latives of the entombed below appear to have been satisfied with the explanations that have been given of the position of affairs, and are awaiting at their homes with what resig nation they may the time when it will be possible to recover the bodies. The men who were injured by the explosion are all reported to be progressing favourably. On Thurs day afternoon a meeting was held in the National School room, Worsborough Dale, at which a great number of the clergy and gentry of the neighbourhood were present. The Rev. W. Banham, incumbent of St. Thomas's, Wors borough Dale, was called to the chair. It was resolved, on the motion of Mr. S. J, Cooper, seconded by the Rev. J. Newman, "That this meeting desires to express its deep and heartfelt sympathy with the surviving sufferers at the late awful catastrophe at Edmund's Main Colliery, and with the widows, orphans, and relatives of those who have boon so suddenly deprived of life, and that, as an expression of such sympathy, a public subscription be immediately set on foot for the relief of such sufferers, in addition to any parochial relief that may be granted by the authbrities of the district." The proprietors of 'the colliery have given .6200, and undertaken to defray the cost of the interment of the dead. MARKETS-THIS DAY. COVENT GARDEN.

There is a clever poem on Roman life called " Giannone," and the recent biography of Christopher North fur nishes matter for a paper. The Exchange.

The Influence of the Mosaic Code upon subseguen, Legislation. By J. B. Marsden, solicitor, Hamilton, Adams, and Co. In his preface the author states that his work " can claim but slender pretensions to original re search, still less to theological learning," and that "materials for the work were chiefly furnished by the investigations of other writers, who, in pursuit of different objects, had already travelled over some portions of the same ground." He considers that the laws of Moses are the most ancient of legal in stitutions, that the Egyptians adopted or profited by them, and that they then spread into Greece and other countries of Europe. He has been at considerable pains to trace the analogy existing between punishments for crime in different nations and at different periods, and the result is a volume which, if it fail to prove all that the author ad vances, contains at least a great deal of curious in formation. Temple Bar. A new tale is commenced in this number by the author of " Lady Audley's Secret," called " John Marcbmont's Legacy," which promises well. The adventures of Captain Dangerous, too, progress with spirit.

' One never knows what may happen, dear captain,' says his eminence to me with his courteous smile, ' Your profession is one of sud den risks, leading sometimes to prospects of painful Inconvenience. If you are brought to such a pass that all your ingenuity will not enable you to extricate yourself from it, and if you have any rational objection, say, to being burnt alive, or broken on the wheel, 'tis always as well to have the means at hand of executing oneself with genteel Tranquillity.'"

The autbor:of these effusions is one of Garibaldi's numerous lady sympathisers, who, having had an interview with the General at Turin in the spring of 1861, has expressed the'emotions she then felt in verse, has added various other poems, and has dedi cated to him the volume. The intention is better than the execution. As a specimen we give the following stanzas from the poem called " One Year Ago" : " One year ago! How short, how short I And yet how long appears , _ The time with all its crowded hopes, , Its multitude of fears. One year ago, beside thy bed I sat with loving awe, The sunlight crown'd that noble head, • And stream'd upon the floor. " A halo such as saints might wear, Seem'd giv'n thee from above, A holy radiance—still, yet fair, For rev'rent souls to love I • And as I gaz'd I treasured Each pure high word that fell From those pale lips with patriot warmth— Yes, I remember well, Poems.

THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, SIX O'CLOCK. NAPLES. Letters from Naples give the text of another Muratist manifesto. It purposes to be dated from the Chateau of Buzenval, and to have been written in November, under the form of a letter addressed to a prince, whose name is not given. In the docu rhent, Prince Murat congratulates himself on the progress which his party has made in public, opi nion ; he is the more gratified that the preponder ance which he acquires is a moral victory over the " fortunate" but sanguinary excesses of the Bourbon hands (otherwise brigands), and over Piedmontese despotism. It is, therefore, necessary to fortify and develope that moral influence everywhere, from the smallest commune up to Parliament itself, without seeking to advance too rapidly, like " the Bot - ; - r - lion faction" and " the Piedmontese sect." The Prince desires to enjoy the " benefits of the moment," to rally all parties to Muratism, and to let Piedmon tese violence and the efforts of him who from Rome "fans the flame of civil war" to wear themselves out. The whole paper looks very like a clumsy piece of forgery. Beeton's Publications.

The American papers give accounts of the Indians charged with having taken part in the outrages in Minesota. " The business," says the correspondent of the SE. Paul Press, writing from Camp Sibley, " has been despatched with celerity, as many as 40 cases having been tried per day in some instances. The prisoners were brought in chained together by the feet in pairs, in some cases eight at a time, and the charges which were preferred by Gen. Sibley read to them through the interpreter, and then, after being exhorted to tell the truth and not equivocate, each was asked the extent of his participation in the outrages, and, if necessary, witnesses were called against him. Then if there was any doubt as to his guilt, or as to his being a willing parti cipant in the outrages, he was allowed to call witnesses in his favour. Perhaps this may seem to those who were not on the ground an unjus- tifiably summary mode of proceeding ; but it was as lengthy an examination as necessity would per mit, and whatever necessity requires it justifies. Besides, no individual injustice is probably done, as ninety-nine hundredths of these devils are guilty." The correspondent of a New York paper, after stating that the victims in the massacre are esti mated at 600, reports that 303 of the Indians tried by court-martial have been condemned to be hung. He says, " When the condemn : fad are talked to on the subject they say, Kill me, kill me ; 1 would kill you if I had you.' An Indian despises to beg for his life, but abhors hanging, for he feels that to be hung is to be treated like a dog. He would much prefer death by the slow lingering torture, such as none but an Indian can devise and exe cute, to a death on the gallows. The President has requested General Pope to suspend the exe cution of the Indians for the present, and it is•mnch feared that, looking at affairs from so distant a stand-point, he may commute their sentence. The demand of the people of the State is, that the condemned bo executed, and, if their sentence should be commuted, there is danger that the people will take the. matter into their own hands, and inflict summary justice. An officer just arrived from Sibley's camp says that the citizens of the interior are organising, and propose to kill the Indians before they are set at liberty, in case Go vernment shall interfere. As the soldiers are mostly citizens of the State, they would be likely to offer but a feeble resistance to such a course." BAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. RAILWAY RECEIPTS.
