The wildest and most extravagant conclusions have been drawn from the accounts which reached us from the other side of the water, and the public were surprised to hear that the whole question of iron plates versus cannon balls had been so very easily and apparently so satisfactorily settled. Two vessels, extemporised in a few weeks and at a trifling cost, were able, it were said, to batter each other for several hours without inflicting any injury on either craft. The science of warfare had, it was supposed, attained to its highest state of perfection ; the power of de fence exceeded that of offence ; and cannon balls of 1801 b. were represented as falling and rattling like hail upon the armour-plated vessels. Two questions have, however, not yet been answered, and they are very important ones —first, were the balls solid ? and, next what was the quantity of powder used for their dis• charge ? If the Dahgren or other guns employed could not carry more than a few pounds of powder without bursting, it need excite no surprise that the projectiles fell like hail rather than penetrated like shot. The latest experiments with the Arm strong gun afford a pretty clear indication of what would be the speedy fate of any iron-plated vessel opposed to such artillery as we have at our com mand. Not the least remarkable feature of the American duel is the cool assumption of superiority claimed by the ex-Swedish officer, Captain Ericsson, in the naming his vessel the "Monitor," namely, that it was to teach European Powers something of which they were ignorant, and to warn them of the fate which hung over them in consequence of this discovery. The main feature in this vessel is that its guns were placed in, and its gunners protected by a shot-proof iron cupola. There is nothing, however, in this which was not well known to our Admiralty, and to every person who had paid any attention to naval and military matters. Captain Coles, long before the construe tion of the Monitor had even been dreamt pro posed to employ revolving towers on the upper deck protected with armour plates, and each containing two guns. The old Trusty, floating-battery, was fitted with one of these cupolas early last year, and in the month of May it underwent a most severe ordeal. The experimental firing from the cupola was carried on under the direction of Captain Hewlett, of the Excellent, gunnery-ship, and with the most satisfactory result. Everything was car ried on as in action. The lanterns were hung in the inside of the tower, and the arrangements for making the cupola to revolve were precisely similar to those which would be adopted in a naval attack. The firing took place at a target 3,600 yards, or rather over two miles distant. So accurate was the firing that the second shot passed through the target. The guns were 10 0-pounders, and they were fired singly and to gether, and us rapidly as six rounds in as many minutes. The concussion caused by the discharges was said to be but trifling, and was, in fact, greater outside than inside the tower. This system of revolving towers for artillery, we may state, so far from being a new discovery of Captain Ericsson, or even Captain Coles, was actually tested many years since in the Maximilian towers at Verona, but was abandoned as not consi• dered suitable for land fortifications. The plan which Captain Coles has suggested is a very simple and ingenious one. The towers are about 14ft. in diameter, and rise in a conical shape to about 6ft. above the deck. They are formed of strong timbers, covered with 41in. iron plates. There is an aperture for the muzzle of two guns, and an entrance which closes with a solid iron plate. Within the tower are the usual traversing carriages for the guns, which lie side by side. The tower is erected on a base of solid timbers, and made to turn upon its centre, like the turn table at a railway station. It revolves upon a central pivot, and movee on iron rollers, run ning on iron racers below and near the circum ference. The weight of each tower, with the guns in them, is about 70 tons, and the whole is very easily moved by means of a ratchet-wheel. As the tower revolves it of course brings the guns to bear upon any point desired. A set of tables have been calculated, in connection with the cupola, which enable the gunners to ascertain the exact distance of the object to be struck, and the top of the tower is sighted like a rifle, quite independent of the guns which it contains. It was with the tower so constructed that the experiments were It was, however, necessary not only to test the efficiency of the tower for purposes of offence, but also its powers of resistance. The Trusty was once more brought out to be experimented upon. The cupola itself was subjected to most severe firing. Ten 40 pounders struck it, and left the indelible marks upon the rounded surface ; then came 20 of the destructive 68-pounders, which slightly frac tured the plates in several parts; and finally, 40 shots of 100 lb. each were fired, without effecting the slightest injury, except where one of the plates was defective. The Trusty is now lying in Woolwich dockyard ; the iron plates have been stripped off the cupola, and one only of them shows signs of severe punishment. The tim ber frame-work is unshaken, and the turn table at the base still in perfect working order. The result of the experiments was considered perfectly satisfactory at the time, but as no particular alarm was then felt in the country, the First Lord of the Admiralty did not consider it necessary to apply to the Treasury for any extraordinary grant for the purpose of constructing vessels of this description. The plans, however, were prepared and ready to be acted upon when required. A contract was yesterday entered into by the Admiralty with. Messrs. Samuda for the construc tion of a cupola ship of extraordinary powers. This latest addition to our iron-plated navy will be 250 feet long; its tonnage about 2,000 tons, and is to draw but 20 feet of water, and the speed is not to be less than 121 knots. When clearing for action the ship's bulwarks will be thrown down all round her level with the upper deck, along which will be ranged three towers, like huge inverted saucers. The shields or towers will revolve, as already ex plained, on a turn-table on the deck below. The height of the shields above the deck will be five feet, which will be but small objects for the enemy to fire at, and even, if struck, it will be at an angle of about 45 degrees. The muzzle of the guns will be nine feet six inches out of water, but as equal whole of th em can b e b roug h t to b ear at one time the ordinary cupola or vessel ship Defence —the f will 2 be 4 guns.in two Compared s t its r broadside o n .with ht ethe to ships h i an Re sistancens d which we have built—th e new one will possess several most important advantages. The tonnage will be but 2,000 tons as against 3,668 tons in the Defence ; the draught of water will be but 20 feet against 25 feet 4 inches; and the speed w ill b e 121 against 111 knots. Add to these advanta ges, t h at whereas the Defence or Resistance can only fight 7 :guns pr o t ec t e d by her iron plates, the s hi eld ship can bring h er w h o l e 12 to bear at one time upon any desired p o i n t , w ith no practical limit to the aiming, whil e th e ot h ers are limited to 29 de grees. In closing with an enemy, the shield ship, by tak ing a slightly obli que course , c an bring the w h ole of her guns to bear, while the enemy can only re ply with two or th ree guns f rom the bow or stern, as the case may b e. Th e s hi e ld ship is to be of iron, and covered with armour rcptleadt plates. The e price at which the contract has been taken by Messrs. S amu d a i s /44 15s. pe r t on. The cost, exclusive of armament and equipment, will be therefore about 1 :100,000, or less than one half of the cost of any armour - plated ship we have afloat. The shield ship will have no masts or rig ging, and when afloat will show to the view above her desk merely her funnel and the tops of her shields. The Duke of Somerset has very correctly described the new ship as one carrying guns in a cupola, and perfectly capable of going round the world. The American Monitor, which is to give the Old World such a signal lesson in naval affairs, has a speed of not more than fivo or six knots an hour; she has one cupola, and is so defective as a seagoing vessel that she was nearly lost in a gale of wind when steaming round to Fortress Monroe. The following description of the Monitor may serve as a means of comparison with the British Monitor •-- " She is oval shaped, 172 feet long, and 41 feet in width at the centre. Her hull rises perpendi cularly out of the water, as straight all round as the sides of a stone wall, and as flat on the top as a table, without any rail or guards around her. She has two square smoke stacks, about seven feet in height ; but in time of action these are removed, and the smoke and steam come through grates in the deck, the iron of which is about ei g ht i nc h es thick. Nothing remains on her deck but the pilot house, which is a square iron statue, about 3 feet high, about the size of an ordinary dry goods b ox . The tower rises about nine feet high from the deck, and looks, when close to it, like a 'large iron gaso meter or gasholder. On closely examining it, how ever, you find that its sides and top are about one foot thick, whilst the lower tower is 22 feet in dia meter, and that closetogether portholes, :rilaPed ethii n two feet ot n it , has two noto,z, mi apart, and not more than three feet above th e d ec k. The interior of the tower exhibits still s t ronger th e tone side, superior strength of the vessel." The new shield ship is to be ready for launching on the 3d of February next, and equipped for sea on the Ist of June. HOW FAR IS THE EMB,INK n 1 NT OF THE THAMES TO BE CARRIED? of the parish of Chelsea Adeputation yesterday waited,the vestryby appointment, p pointment, on th e Right Hon. Mr. Cowper, the Chief Commissioner of Works, in the members' tea-room at the House of Commons, to urge upon him the desirability of having the embankment of the Thames continued from Westminster to Battersea-bridge, and the low level sewer carried under it. It appeared, from the statement of Mr. Tit e , M.P., who introduced the deputation, and M r . Finch, pa rlimwhos acted ent voted a a as since s tun of money for the embankment of the Thames at Chelsea, as an aid to local subscriptions for the same purpose, but that as the latter were not forthcoming in the propor tion stipulated for by the legislature, a sum of from £30,000 to £lO,OOO was paid back into the Ex chequer. They thought if that sum were now placed at the disposal of the Metropolitan Board of Works it would enable them to continue the embankment of the river in connexion with the low level sewer from Westminster-bridge to Battersea -bridge, and so obviate the proposed discharge of the sewage of the neighbourhood into the Thames, after going through the process of deodorisation at Cremorne; it was objectionable that any foreign matter should be allowed to find its way into the Thames. The con struction of the works in question would, they urged, be a great improvement to the neighbourhood; and as Battersea-bridge is a dangerous nuisance, they suggested that a new bridge connecting Oakley street with a road right through Battersea Park, would, by bringing Clapham and that district into direct communication with the public insti tutions at Kensington, make the Government pro perty productive. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER, in his reply, stated that in spirit he fully coincided in the views of the deputation, but he felt sure Parliament would not re-vote the money except upon the - original condi tion that the neighbourhood itself should contribute towards the expense of the work; and with regard to the proposal for the erection of another bridge, it was not likely to be entertained, especially as the traffic over the one lately erected was not suffi cient to pay interest upon the cost of it. Mr. FINCH reminded the right hon. gentleman that Parliament had, by a subsequent act, abandoned the principle that the vote of the House of Com mons should be aided by local contributions. The parish of Chelsea would, if it had parliamentary powers to do so, willingly aid in the undertaking; but as the work would be a benefit to the public and a benefit to the Board of Works, it ought not to be delayed, but constitute part and parcel of the main scheme. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER fully agreed with them that the present was the time to move in the matter; but as the case of Chelsea differed from that of the Strand and Fleet-street, and had no exces sive traffic of which to - be relieved, he did not see how any portion of the coal dues could be applied to the work of embankment there. The deputation, having thanked the right hon. gentleman for his courtesy, then withdrew. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. LAMBETH. In consequence of Mr. Roupell's resignation as member for this borough, though, owing to some in formality in his tendering it, it is not at present accepted, several candidates are already in the field. On Wednesday evening, at the Windmill Tavern, Upper Kennington-lane, a numerous meeting of the members of the " Lambeth Parliamentary and Parochial Association" took place, Mr. T. D. Tully in the chair, when the merits of the candidates named were discussed. As this association exer cises great local influence, the resolution that it came to, after a lengthened and animated discussion, may be of interest to those gentlemen who may be desirous of representing the borough ; it is as follows —" That this association, having taken an active part in tha re-election of Mr. W.

ASSIZE INTELLIGEACE. HOME CIRCUIT.-KINGSTON, April 10. CIVIL SIDE. (Before Lord Chief Justice Erie and a Special Jury. KING V. THE VISCOUNTESS FORBES. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover a sum of £560 upon a bill of exchange ac cepted by the defendant, and also upon a count for money had and received through the agency of a person named Martha Augusta Arthur Richards. Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Talf our d S alter were and Mr. p fo r r en t t h i e ce w plaintiff erefo r ; The case, as opened by the learned counse l for th an e d de M fe r n . d ß an ° t v . illi QC " the plaintiff, and from the evidence that was after wards brought forward, appeared . to be of a very singular ch arac t er . Th e plaintiff, it appeared, was a musician, employed at the Argyll- rooms, and in the month of January 1860, a lady named Richards, whom he had only known for a short time previously applied to him for a lean of £5OO upon the acceptance of the defendant. He declined to procure the money unless Mrs. Terrett, the de fendant's mother, and Miss Richards also put their names to the bill, and this was agreed to, and it appeared that eventually a bill was drawn for £560, which was accepted by Lady Forbes, and i indorsed by her m o th er an d Mi ss Ri c h ar d s; but t may be as well to explain that this bill was not re lied upon in the present action, because it appeared to have been drawn upon an insufficient stamp, bat the money - was sought to be recovered from the de fendant upon the ground that she had authorised Miss Richards to act as her agent, and to support this view of the case some letters were produced, in one of which the defendant requested Miss Richards to be sure not to give up the signed note, the bill in question, until she had got the money, and at the same time thanked her for the trouble she had taken in the matter. Some other letters bearing upon the same point were also put in, and the defendant ap peared at that time to be on terms of very great intimacy with Miss Richards, and addressed her as "My dearest Miss Richards." The answer to the action was that the defendant had never authorised Miss Richards to act as her agent to obtain the money from Mr. King, the plaintiff, and that in point of fact she had never received a farthing of the proceeds of the bill she had accepted. Mr. James King said—l am the plaintiff in this action, and reside at No. 18, Frith-street, Soho, and am a professor of music, and am engaged as one of the band at the Argyll-rooms. In January, 1860, I was acquainted with a lady named Richards. I had been introduced to her two or three months before. About the 30th of January, 1860, she showed me this bill and the letters that have been produced. - Mr. Bovill here interposed, and objected to the document being treated as a bill of exchange. It was upon an insufficient stamp, and consequently could not be received as a legal instrument. Serjeant Shee admitted that he could not recover upon the bill, and he merely proposed to introduce it as part of the transaction. The plaintiff was then further examined, He said —Mrs. Terrett, defendant's mother, was present, and I asked her if her name was on the bill, and she said that it was. Miss Richards afterwards told me that Lady Forbes had requested her to negotiate a loan of £5OO for her for some temporary purpose, until a mortgage for £2,000, which was in contemplation, should be completed, and I under stood that Miss Richards' mother was going to ad vance that money. I said that I should require Miss Richards' signature, as well as those of Lady Forbes and her mother, to the bill, and they agreed to my proposition. When the bill came into my possession I took it to Mr. Bignell, the proprietor of the Ar gyll-rooms, and asked him to discount it, but he would not do so without my putting my name to it, and he then gave me a cheque upon his bankers, Messrs. Seale, Low, and Co., in Leicester-square, for £5OO. I received four XlOO notes, five £lO notes, two £2O notes, and £lO in gold, and I took the money to Miss Richards and gave it to her in the presence of Mrs. Terrett. At this time Miss Rich ards owed me £llO upon other money transactions, and she paid me out of the proceeds of the cheque. She at the same time said that she had already ad vanced Lady Forbes £250 out of her own resources on account of the bill, and she was going to pay the remainder to her crec:it at Messrs. Coutts's. Cross -examined—I first became acquainted with Miss Richards at the latter end of 1859. She was introduced to me by a lady named Thorne. She resided at that time at Chester-terrace, Pimlico. The Argyll-rooms are dancing rooms in the Hay market. lam one of the band, and receive a salary of two guineas per week. I never saw Miss Richards at the Argyll-rooms. She owes me at the present time £219, and also a small bill for coals, about £l2, I think. lam a dealer in coals as well as a musician. I swear that I have not seen Miss Richards since February, 1860. I!have heard that she resides in Gloucester-place, Portman-square, but I swear that I have not visited her there, and that I did not go to her house last Thursday night. I was very anxious that she should be here as a witness, and I believe that she has been subpcenaed. Since this transaction I have heard that Miss Richards' mother resides in Wales, and that she is a pauper receiving parish relief; and I have heard that Miss Richards herself was originally a maid of all work. I have not taken any steps to get the money that she owes me, because she has been a bankrupt, and I was told that there was no estate. I heard that she was refused a certificate on the ground that she was a swindler. I have bought and sold pictures, but I never sold one to Miss Richards. I did once lend her one to place in one of her rooms in Chester-terrace. It was worth £BO. I believe the subject was the Holy Family. (A laugh.) Her house was ele gantly furnished. Ido not remember her giving a grand dinner to a number of officers and gentlemen, and I did not lend her glasses and other materials for the entertainment. Ido not know that none of the furniture in the house was ever paid for. I sold Miss Richards on one occasion three handsome looking-glasses for her drawing-room. I only occupy the two top attics in the house in Frith-street, and one of them is used as a counting-house and the other as a bed-room. I only occnpy these rooms for my business, and my family live out of town. There were nothing but business transactions be tween me and Miss Richards. I saw Lady Forbes's solicitor upon the subject of this bill, but I swear I did not tell him that I had myself advanced £3OO upon it. In re-examination the plaintiff said that he had been engaged for several years in the orchestra of the Opera, and he was a member of th e R o y a l So ciety of Musicians. He also said that Miss Richards appeared to be on very intimate terms with Mrs. Terrett, Lady Forbes's mother ; and he had no idea that she was such a person as she turned out to be. Mr. Robert Bignell deposed that he was the pro prietor of the Argyll-rooms, and Mr. King was one of the band he employed. He said that he applied to him upon the subject of the bill in question, and he agreed to discount it if he would put his name to it; and when he had done so, he gave him a cheque for £5OO. The bill became due on the 2d of May, 1860, and was dishonoured, and he handed it to his solicitor. The plaintiff since then had been paying him £l2 per month, as instalments off the amount of the bill, and he had paid altogether about £l3O. Mr. Seale, a clerk in the bank of Seale, Low, and Co., proved that he paid the cheque in notes, as stated by the plaintiff. Sergeant Shee then asked that Martha Augusta Richards, the lady who had been referred to in the evidence, should be called upon her subpoena ; and this was accordingly done, but she did not appear. Mr. AV, It. Phelp, the son of the plaintiff's at torney, was then examined, and he proved that he had made every endeavour to discover the residence of Miss Richards, but did not succeed in doing so until Monday last, and he immediately took the necessary steps to procure her attendance by causing her to be served with a subpoena. _ _ A lad in the service of Mr. Phelp proved that on Tuesday he went to Miss Richards's residence with a subpoena in an envelope, and a sovereign was also enclosed in the envelope. He saw the lady, but she said she was too ill to attend, and she could not give evidence against Lady Forbes. She also said that she was go i ng t o pa y a visit to her " mamma" in Wales. (A laugh.) This was the case for the plaintiff. Mr. Bovill having addressed the jury for the defendant, Lady For Les was then c:Tantincd. She said—l am the defendant in this action. I was first intro duced to Miss Richards in August, 1859. MY mother introduced her to me ut my house in Eaton. square. I was never in her house. She represented herself to me as a lady of fortune, and said that she had just purchased a house in Chester-terrace, arid she should like to have it furnished in the same style as my house was. She offered to lend me money, and told me that she had just come to a very large fortune through her mother , and she wished to invest some of it. I told her that I was paying very large interest upon a mortgage , and that if I could obtain £2,000 to redeem the mortgage, at less interest ) I should be glad to do so, and I would give her a semitity upon some of my property. She at first agreed to M me have the £2,000, hilt_ afterwards said she could not do so because .an she guardian until not obtain any motley from her ard until July, but she told me that if 1 - I , P su m or would be of any use to me, she would /end it me from her own resource?. Mly solicitor's af!e: this prepared a deed rir d I executed it.aT,d Miss Richards sent a cheque fo r £5OO to m y bankers to be placed to my account, but it was di s honoured. She made several excuses, and ultimately said that she could not obtain the mon e y unl e s s I gave her my ac ceptance, and I gave h er th e bill in ques tion, not to be discounted, but in order, that she might get the money from her friend Mr. King. I never received one single farthing of money, either on account of the proposed loan or of the bill, and when I found that the cheque was dishonoured I became alarmed. I have never seen Miss Richards since September, 1859, and I was in Ireland during the time the transaction was going on. I never gave Miss Richards any authority to borrow money for me. After the cheque had been dishonoured, r made inquiries about Miss Richards and, discovered that she was an impostor. _ C ross - examined—She dined at my house once, but I_ _never went t o h er res id ence i n Ch es t er -t err ace. My mother first intr o d uce d h er t o me, and she spoke o fher as being the most kind and amiable person that ever lived. (A laugh.) I received several let ters from her prior to January, 1860, upon the sub ject of the proposed loan, and sh e enc l ose d th e s s . stamp to me in a letter. Wh en I f oun d out what kind of person she was, I d es t roye d th e greater por tion of her letters, and I do not know what has be come of the remainder of them unless I have given them to my solicitor. I stated in one of my letters to her that I should have to pay the £6OO bill when it became due, and of course I should have done so, if I had received the money. Miss Richards always alluded to Mr. King as her " dear friend," and said that he was the person who was going to let her have the money that she was to lend me. I did not know who he was, but thought, of course, that he was a gentleman. I was not aware that the bill was upon a wrong stamp until I was informed of it by my solicitor. Mr. Stewart, the attorney of Lady Forbes, proved that he first saw Miss Richards in September, 1859, when she came to his office accompanied by Lady Forbes's mother upon the subject of the projected loan. He afterwards went to her house in Chester, terrace, and observed that it waa elegantly furnished and everything presented the appearance of her being a•person of wealth. At first the proposal was that Miss Richards should advance £2,000, but she said she could not get that sum from her guardian until July, but she would lend Lady Forbes £5OO herself. The security was arranged, and a deed was prepared pursuant to the terms that were agreed upon, and after Lady Forbes had executed this deed, Miss Richards sent a cheque that was dishonoured, and no money was ever advanced under the deed, and the whole affair, so far as she was concerned, turned out to be a fraud. In February, 1860, in consequence of information he received from Lady Forbes, he demanded the restoration of the bill from Miss Richards, and he saw the plain tiff at her house, and he then told him that he had advanced £3OO upon the bill, and did not say a word about it having been discounted for Lady Forbes. Thomas Claridge, a clerk in the service of Messrs. Stewart, was then called, to prove that he had watched the plaintiff on Thursday last, and that he saw him leave the Argyll Rooms in a cab, and fol lowed him to Portman-square, where he got out, and he saw him go to a house in Gloucester-street, where Miss Richards, as ne was told, res ided; and on the following day he saw a lady come out of the same house, and this lady was supposed to be Miss Richards. He said that after the plaintiff had re mained some time in the house he came out, and was then driven to the neighbourhood of Soho. This witness was cross-examined with regard to the identity of the plaintiff with the person he had seen, and the answers he gave were no t at a ll o f a positive character; and in the result, on being pressed by Sergeant Shee upon the point, he said be would not swear positively that the plaintiff was the person he saw, although he added that he be lieved he was. Mrs. Terrett, the mother of the defendant, was then examined, and 813 stated that it was not true, as the plaintiff had represented, that she was pre sent when he handed the money to Miss Richards. General Downing proved that the last witness introduced Miss Richards to him, and that the lat ter, at the time the proposed loan was in contem plation, asked him to put his name to a bill for £5OO, and at the same time told him that she was going to lend the money to Lady Forbes, and she could not get it for her unless he put his name to the bill. This was the defendant's case. Sergeant Shee then said that he was solemnly assured by the plaintiff that there was no truth in the statement of the witness Claridge, that he had gone to the house of Miss Richards last Thursday, and he was desirous of examining him upon that poirit.. _ _ Lord Chief Justice Erie said that the plaintiff had already denied having gone to the place in question on this evening, or at any other time; but, if he desired it, he had no objection to his making any further statement he thought proper upon the subject was os vi ti e manneraccor dingl ythat recalled,h edid n and he stated leave in Mr.the King most positive tha Argyll Rooms until 12 o'clock last Thursday night, and that he then went to a tavern in the neighbourhood, and from thence to his own home. He added that he could bring the whole of the band who were engaged with him to confirm his state ment, if it were necessary. Mr. Bovill, in summing up the defendant's case, said he would admit, if it was any satisfaction to the plaintiff, that witness might be mistaken in speak ing to his identity, but he thought he was at all events entitled to say that some person or other had gone from the Argyll Rooms to Miss Richards's house, and that some negotiation was going on with her upon the eye of this action being tried. He then referred to the facts that he had proved on behalf of the defendant, and contended that they had clearly established that Lady Forbes had never employed Miss Richards as her agent ; and that, even supposing any money had been abtained, which he said, appeared to him wan very doubtful, she was entitled to a verdict ; she was not responsible, as she was no party to the transaction, andnot a single shilling of al, money had come into her possession. Sergeant Shee then made a most energetic ad dress to the jury in reply, and he particularly com mented upon the fact that none of the letters, which it was admitted had been written to the defendant by Miss Richards upon the subject of this loan, had been produced ; and he also observed upon the ab sence of Miss Richards, who, he said, was a witness that the defendant, as it appeared to him, was bound to have brought forward. Lord Chief Justice Erle then summed up, and having called the attention of the jury to all the points in the case, concluded by stating that if the jury were of opinion that the money was paid by Mr. King to Miss Richards, and that Miss Richards was at the time the authorised agent of Lady Forbes to receive the money for her and on her credit, their verdict ought to he for the plaintiff; but if they thought either that Miss Richards did not receive the money, or that if she did she was not the autho rised agent of Lady Forbes, then they ought to find a verdict for the defendant. The jury almost immediately returned a verdict for the defendant. in h is A GRATEFUL ACTRESS.—A Paris letter says :-- " Madame Ristori has been on a visit to M.

BOW-STREET.—William Cole, who on Wed nesday was charged with threatening Lold Shaftes bury, and was then ordered by Mr. Henry to be , examined by the medical officer of St. Martin's, was again brought up in custody of Sergeant Browne, of the A division, the medical officer, Dr. Bainbridge, having reported that he saw no suffi cient reason to say that defendant was of unsound mind. By order of the sitting *magistrate, Mr. Hall, a messenger was sent to the 210 use of Mr. Henry, who had originally heard the case, but that gentleman being absent from town the case pro ceeded before Mr. Hall. Mr. Storer was recalled, and repeated the evidence he had given on Wednes day. When the defendant came yesterday it was 4 about one o'clock. He met witness in the street and followed him to the office. Witness invited him into the waiting-room, and he said, "No, if you once get me inside the -- place you will keep me there." Witness replied, "No such thing, we cer tainly have no desire to keep you here." The de fendant marched up and down in front of the office, with a stick in his hand, imitating the volunteer exercise. He was dressed fantastically, and had a dog following him. He said he would smash or slay Lord Shaftesbury and all the commission ers. From the expressions he übed I think he 34 animated by ill-feeling towards Lord Shaftesbury, Mr. Hall—From his behaviour do' you think if he were to meet Lord Shaftesbury hhe would Use violence towards him ? Witness—l think he would insult him. Mr. Hall—l do not mean by words. Do you think he would use personal violence ? Witness—l think so. Defendant—Did you say Lord Shaftesbury Tvas in the country ? Witness—l did not. Defendant--Did you say he was not at the office Witness—No ; I said I had been out and did not know. Mr. Hall said the point was immaterial. Mr. Robert Wilfred Skeffington Lutwidge—l cm a commissioner of lunacy. I never saw Mr. Colo until very recently, in the street. I have hr,d offi cial knowledge of Mr. Cole's antecedents for the last four years. May I be permitted to state at the out set that Mr. Cole is mistaken if he supposed that there is any feeling against him on the part of the commissioners of lunacy, or any of them. From the official reports which we have received, subsequently confirmed by the commissioners, who have visited_ Fisherton House, near Salisbury, where the defend ant was unfortunately a patient for some months, I am aware that he has been under trcatment as a person of unsound mind, and represented to be dan gerous. Since his escape from that asylum. , A 3 the 29th April, 1859, we have no material official in formation. Yesterday there was a full meeting of the board, at which I was present. I was then told. that Mr. Cole, about whom initiatory proceedings had been taken, was in the street. I went to one window and Lord Shaftesbury to another. Mr. Cole was then in the middle of the street. He looked up at the windows, at one of which Lord Shaftes bury was. He brandished his stick, made threaten ing signs, and clenched his fist. Whether he said anything lam not able to state. I did not hear anything. His conduct and gestures were most menacing. At your worship's request I have viade inquiries for Lord Shaftesbury, and have song:tit him at his house. From information I have receives: from Lady Shaftesbury I understood that Lord_ Shaftesbury was out, and it was not known where he could be found till 5 o'clock this evening, when he will be at the House of Lords. I have had com munication with Lord Shaftesbury with reference to this case. in fact it was under consideration at the time when the defendant came yesterday. I will. undertake to see Lord Shaftesbury this evening, and I am sure that he will attend here on any future day before the magistrate to demand the protection of the law. From what I have heard of Mr. Cole, from his langaage and threats, and from what I witnessed yesterday, I think Lord Shaftesbury has reasonable ground to apprehend personal violence from him, and does desire to be protected from that violence. Mr. Hall (to the defendant) —Do you wish to pat any questions to this witness ? Defendant—No, sir; I only regret that your time has been occupied in this unnecessary proceeding. I am perfectly astonished at the statements of Mr. Lutwidge. Lord Shaftesbury need be under no , apprehension of any violence from me. I should be the last man in the world to assail him, and I sub mit to you that there is no case. I shall be hapnv to submit to your decision: Mr. Hall-:You were yesterday, as I am informed, brought before my colleague, and from hearing the facts—what they were I know not, for I thought it better not to read them—it seemed proper to him —and I have no doubt he exercised a wise dis er(- tion—to submit you to the examination of a short medi cal gentleman. The time has been .verya i e jud g - during which he could form any labouring meat ; but he has reported expressi a n c a g e r : against any supposition that you courses open to a under insanity. There are two had been other than magistrate, and if the report hahave been taken of it is, certain proceedings mi g ht daresay, fully aware., an opinion the nature of which you are, I_ r e, which is again. Then there is the original h brought forward— l this s rgeinnisaen—e,atnhdenunilte: iss ;altogether, this charge the matter is to be drep o p u e you are a person in full pos session now go on. place him in the painful: , tim and eb n e e afo t session of your faculties, one person is to be permitted a question whether to menace : under those th • threats. If you position of going about . _ _ i n dividual a behaviour and gestures address to any violent, and language which is still more w hi c h are the question whether he • is eppre hensivel so, t h en comes _ . . of actual violence being offered to him, and another, and whether he ought not to have an opportunity offered to him of appearing to claim the protection of the law . I have endeavoured as much as I could to obtain the attendance of Lord Shaftesbury to-day, but it could not be procured. There is no feeling on my part, or of those gentlemen who have taken part in the case, that you should be subjected to any inconvenience, but I must detain you till to morrow, when, no doubt, ho will appear. I will give you the option to be taken to the station house, arid remain there till to-morrow, or other- Nvie to be committed to the House of Detention. Defend an t-1 h ave b een s i nce yester d ay at St. Martin's Workhouse, under the care of this gentle man (pointing to Sergeant Browne).
