COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) IN RE THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK EXPARTE NICOLL. The Attorney-General was heard for Mr. Nicoll, as to his liability as a shareholder of the bank. The arguments will occupy the whole of this day. (Before Vice-Chancellor Kindersly.) FALKENER V. THE EQUITABLE REVERSIONARY INTEREST SOCIETY. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor granted a decree for specific performance, with costs, and recommended the par ties to arrange the portion of costs that each was to pay, and insert the amount in the decree. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Murphy.) IN RE WILLIAM LASLETT, THE ELDER. This case had been adjourned from Friday in order to produce books and additional evidence as to the sale of his business. • Mr. Dowse opposed and Mr. R. Martin supported. Mr. Dowse complained that there was an imperfect de scription of the insolvent, inasmuch as he had omitted a place where business was carried on in Rent; and also described the copartnership, previously referred to, as of Laslett and Son, in place of William Laslett and Son, which had been printed on his bill heads. The learned Commissioner declared that it was one of the rivolous and vexatious technical points to which he was too frequently compelled to yield, but that when the advertisement was completed he would discharge the insol vent on the merits and listen to no further opposition. CITY SHERIFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) POTTER Y. . 111 ITH-HORSE DEALING EXTRAORDINARY. Mr. Buchanan appeared for the ilaintift; and Mr. Scott for the defendant. This Was an action to recover a sum of money for meta supplied and 41 due upon a transaction relative to a grey mars. Defendant pleaded a set-off of butter and cheese, and £4 12s. 6d. due upon a transaction relative to a black colt. There was a great deal of hard swearing in the case, and in reference to the £1 defendant proved that he had ?aid it for the mare's keep. Plaintiff dsclared he had promised to pay. As to the c)lt, it appeared that defendant and a person named Bar nett attended a . sale at Newton, and bought a colt for twenty-three and a-half guineas. They charged plaintiff £29 16s. 6d. for it, and he now swore that defendant had nothing to do with it, and that Barnett had told him ;he was the owner of the colt. This Barnett could not deny. Plaintiff likewise said that Smith attended the sale and bought the horse for him (plaintiff). This defendant de. ied, and said he never agreed to do so. A witness depdones that he heard Smith say Barnett was the owner of the horse. POLICE IN 7.—(This Day.) ~,_______ MARLBOROUGH -STREET. OUTRAtEOL-S CONDUCT OP A SOLDIER.—EXTRAORDI NARY BEHAvroun OP A CONSTABLE. —Edward Sargent, a private of the 3d battalion of Grenadier Guards, was charged with assaulting and stealing from the person of Mrs. Eliza- - beth Scott, of 12, Albion-street, Hyde-park, a veil and portemonnaie, under the following circumstances ; he was further charged with assaulting Woolland, 129 D, and Clark, 171 D. • The prosecutrix said she was going home through Oxford street that morning about 4, having been to see a sick friend, and stopped for a conveyance, when the prisoner came up and seized and dragged her in a very rude manner, and pulled her about. She walked on in the hope of meet ing with assistance, but did not succeed till she got to the Marble-arch, when a constable came up, and she asked for his protection, but instead of affording her any he struck her in the mouth, and said " Take that." Mr. Inspector Parke said he wished here to state that the prosecatrix had lodged a complaint against the constable at the Vine-street Station. Prosecutrix, in continuation, said she then ran, and meeting a working man, asked him to save her as the sol dier was following her. She screamed out, and two con stables came up and acted very properly and promptly. The soldier had previously snatched her veil and porte monnaie from her, but she did not blame him as he had been drinking. Mr. Beadon—Not blame him for treating you that way in the streets ? The soldier said he was very sorry. He had been drink ing at the time. Henry Gosling, a working man, confirmed several por tions of the previous witness's evidence. The sergeant of the prisoner's company said the soldier had been 15 years in the regiment. He was absent with out leave. Mr. Beadon said it was his duty, as a soldier, to protect females and keep the peace. Here he was following a female in the streets, taking her veil from her, and behaving in an outrageous manner. He should fine him £5 or two months. A constable said he was also charged with assaulting two constables. Mr. Beadon said the fine he had imposed would suffice. CRYSTAL PALACE. Mr. Scott said, upon the evidence as it stood he was entitled to a verdict. Mr. Buchanan intimated that the preponderance of evidence was in his client's favour, but his Honour decided in favour of defendant. Mr. Scott asked for his cost, and said it was a case calling for a solicitor. His Honour agreed, but said he could not allow costs. THE SMOKE PREVENTION COMPA NY -FRANCIS V. THE SMOKE PREVENTION COMPANY. Mr. Buchanan appgared for the plaintiff. This was a claim for commission. It appeared that plaintiff had been the London agent to the company, who agreed to pay him 15 per cent. • When he applied for his commission they discharged him. His Honour thought that was very hard, and gave plain. tiff a verdic with full costs. Yesterday the first Bird Show which has ever been attempted in this country on an extensive scale was held in the tropical department of the Crystal Palace, and attended with as much success as, perhaps, could have been anticipated from an exhibition in which the public feel such a very qualified amount of interest. It was understood that the success of the poultry shows had led the directors to initiate a show of canaries and British and foreign cage birds, in the belief that thoit dis play would excite the same feeling and command the same success. The experience of yesterday, howeVer, would seem to prove that they were mis taken in their hopes, for certainly but compara tively few were in the building itself, while at no time throughout the day did the visitors seem at all inclined to give up the real attractions of the admirable Crystal Palace band for the sake of look ing at the little occupants of one or two thin rows of cages placed at intervals about the tropical de partment. Every one, of course, went to see the show on first entering the building, but a most cur sory inspection seemed to satisfy their curiosity, for who but professional bird fanciers could feel the least interest in the precise shades of difference be tween a " Mealy London Fancy " and a " Jonque London Fancy ? " As far as the majority were concerned, there seemed not many who could say where a "mealy linnet mule " differed:from a magpie, or even whether there was any difference at all. There were some 200 canaries of various kinds, many of them very beautiful little birds, yet we must say that no one seemed to care the least about them —even those which took first prizes. Perhaps the taste of the public wants cultivating in this respect, and this very likely may be so, fbr apparently there was no bird in the collection which excited so great a sen sation as a monstrous long-eared owl from Baden- Baden, who sat on his perch as if carved in wood, scarcely opening his eyes to glance at the hundreds which were bent upon him. Next to this interest.. ing "warbler" two German rats came in for a fair share of admiration. On these curious competitors for the honour of a bird show, a price —prohibitive; we presume --of .£5 ss. was fixed. One would imagine that the same number of pence would have answered the purpose equally as well. Next to the canaries came an interesting but very limited col lection of British birds. In this division are some very extraordinary hybrids of the goldfinch and bullfinch. Among the birds of passage were black caps, nightingales, titlarks, and whitethroats. Mr. Hanly, of the Ist Life Guards, exhibited an aviary of 14 varieties, all caught wild, including a skylark with white wings. Among the thrushes, also, is o ne per f ectly white, an albino thrush, in fact, an exception to the general rule of colour, which is found among birds of all kinds. A divi sion of th e s h ow i s devoted to foreign birds, gray and green parrots, love birds, ptroquets, cocka toos, &c. Some of these were represented in the calalogue as wonderful birds for talking, but they are apparently shy of displaying their accomplishments before strangers. We must not, however, omit to mention that among the canaries was one not only gifted with an un. usual flow of song, but which had also learnt to speak a great many words from a paroquet, with which it had been reared. The prizes awarded varied in sums from £2 to 10s., and .£7O was thns distributed among the successful competitors. Perhaps owing to a want of interest in the bird show, all the Fine Arts Courts yesterday received an unusual share of public attention, and were better filled than we often see them. The private courts, too, were extensively patronised, and none more so than Mr. Hawkins's China and Glass Court, where there is probably of its kind one of the finest and most tasteful displays of English manufactur ing and artistic skill that can be met with in Lon don. This court is fast becoming one of the most attractive in the building, The preparation for the Great Handel Commemoration of next June or July are already beginning, and, from the scale on which they arc intended to be carried out, the fete is likely to leave a ll o th er mus i cal festivals yet attempted in this or any other country far behind. The great Handel orchestra is to be made still larger, and, instead of accommodating 2,500 per formers, as it does at present, will be so enlarged as to give ample space for no less than 4,000 persons. A canvass roof will also be placed upon it and the sides heightened, and so constructed as to throw out the whole of the immense volume of sound into the centre transept. The mere orchestra, in fact, will be a curiosity in itself, as it will be nearly three times the size of any yet built in Europe. is shown by Mr. Paget, our diplomatic agent at Lisbon (in the blue-book already referred to hi the City article, and in a separate notice), that the exports to England from Oporto amount to 5,712,581 milreis, and the imports from England into Oporto to 5,475,769 milreis. The exports from Lisbon to England amount to 1,669,050 milreis, and the ports from England into Lisbon to 4,138,522 mil reis. These figures show that the trade of Portugal with England is more than double the whole of her trade with the rest of the world. The Portuguese tariff taxes very highly both manufactured goods and the raw material. The manufactories of Por tugal are prosperous and on the increase, and the result is highly injurious to the English trade with that country? But it is thought by Mr. Paget that an undue proportion of manufactories is an unnatural state of things, and caculated eventually to bring Portugal into a state of greater poverty than that in which she at present lies. Portugal should content herself with being an agricultural country, and supplying the markets of the world with grain and wine. There are about 1,600 fac tories in Portugal, employing some 20,000 opera tives. The system of Government monopolies is rife, and is of course productive of the worst effects. The cutlery and ironmongery of Portugal are worth, less, except for native use. The Portuguese agricul turists are incorrigibly and stupidly " conservative." They will only act according to " custom," they disdain the wisest counsels of savans, and they cen sure those who attempt to make innovations. There are districts in which vile wine is made from good grapes, although much better wines might be pro duced with less trouble. But of this the manufac turers (or rather makers) cannot be convinced even by " repetition hammered on their ears." There is no wine of any kind, or anywhere obtainable, that may not be grown in Portugal, yet more than half the land is uncultivated, and all modern improve ments are carefully eschewed. This sad state of things is chiefly attributable to the want of roads and means of transport throughout the country. Another great b ar t o progress in Portugal is the absolute reliance of every one on the Government for every work of utility and improvement. What ever the Government do not undertake remains un done. A source of immense wealth exists in the Por tuguese mines; quicksilver and copper are known to be plentiful, but the mines are only slightly worked. The imports of minerals into Portugal greatly exceed the exports, notwithstandin g her peat mineral wealth. Mr. Paget, at the close of his re port, observes that every work of improvement and progress finds the most strenuous support in the present intelligent sovereign of the country. As regards port wine (of which more hereafter), it is a fallacy to suppose that "pure" port wine exists, as it is invariably mixed with brandy at Villa Nova. and, indeed, would not "keep" without.

Although the particulars of the entries are, of course, as yet unknown, enough has been gathered from various exhibitors to warrant the anticipation of the best show, in all classes,- of which this thriving society has been able to boast. The dinner takes place on the 9th, at Mr. WI ight son's, Sun Inn, Darlington, when, we hope, a large gather ing of country gentlemen and friends of apiculture under the presidency of P. H. Howard, Esq., of Corby ' Castle, will testify their approval of the excellent accommodation and encouragement the society has always afforded.— Carlisle _Examiner. MMILFORD HAVEN.—It is worthy of remark that during the late severe gales, by which so many vessels have been distressed and injured, the shelter this harbour affords is such that the communication with Ireland has never been interrupted ; and, while the Holyhead boats have not been able to venture to sea, the Milford Haven boats have ' made the passage regularly, with a difference of only a few hours. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT The Recorder sentenced Regan to 12 months' imprison- Ment, and Attwood to six years' penal servitude. Daniel Ferris, labourer, aged 21, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with committing a burglary in the dwelling house of Joseph Weatherley, and stealing there from two tea-pots, a coffee-pot, and several other articles. The Recorder sentenced him to 18 months' imprison ment. Robert Green, labourer, aged 20, pleaded guilty to an indictment charrging him with stealing a clock and glass shade, the property of Mr. Kebble, of Gracechurch-street. He was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) THE ALLEGED WHISKY FRAUDS. Edward Thurgood, 38, surgeon, and John Riky, 43, agent, were indicted for unlawfully obtaining 29 gallons oi whisky, the property of Charles Cook Christie, with intent to cheat him thereof. The facts of the vase have already appeared at consider.. able length in The Bu;i while the prisoners were under examination at the Guildhall Police-court. After a very eloquent appeal by Mr Metcalf and Mr. Sleigh, who defended the prisoners, The Common Sergeant summed up the evidence at great length, explaining the law as it affected the offence with which the prisoners stood charged. After some deliberation, the jury found both prisoners guilty on the first and fourth counts, and not guilty on the second and third. The prisoners having been called up for judgment in the usual form, The Common Sergeant, in passing sentence, said the jury had found both prisoners guilty, after a very earnest defence, on the first and fourth counts in the indictment, which charged them with obtaining by false pretences a quail:Up of property, and endeavouring to obtain by the same means a still larger amount, with intent to defraud. The jury, on the other two counts, which imputed con spiracy, had acquitted them, and'he entirely concurred in the verdict which had beenreturned. It was of the utmost importance in a commercial country that all frauds should be severely punished, and had the jury returned a different ho should have passed a heavier punishment. The learned judge then sentenced both prisoners to 18 months' imprison menf- BURGLARY WITH VIOLENCE. Augustin Jallde, an Italian, aged 25, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Mr. C. Pritchard, residing in the vicinity of Clapham, and stealing therefrom three forks, one fish knife, and various other articles. The Common Sergeant said the prisoner had done right in pleading guilty to the indictment against him. The crime the prisoner had committed was of itself a very serious one, but it was frightful to contemplate what might have been the result supposing the rev. geitleman, or any of the domestics, had disturbed him while he was engaged in the act of plundering the house. From the deposi tions, he found that he, in the most business-like man ner, forced a wire guard from its position, and thus obtained an entry to the premises. That after he had succeeded so, far in his object the prisoner ob tained a light and ransacked room after room, in search of the silver plate, armed with a largo knife. Fortunately for the inmates the police were the first to arouse them, and when they attempted to capture the prisoner he commenced a desperate resistance with the knife, so much so that it was a mercy he did not commit the crime of murder, for murder it would certainly have been had death ensued to any person. He trembled to think of the consequences of per sons of the determined disposition of the prisoner being discovered in the act of plunder in the dead of night in the house of a clergyman, and he ought to be thankful that he was not now standing before the Court as a murderer. The sentence of the Court was, that he bo kept to penal servi tude for six years. THIRD COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast.) The trials in this Court this morning consisted of llint cases, mno of which possessed the slightest interest. THE ARCTIC E XPEDITION. —Information has been brought by some whalers, recently arrived, that Cap tain M'Chntock was seen early in August within Pond's Bay, into which he had succeeded in navigating the Fox, and that he was holding ,communication with numerous parties of Espimaux, This Dab OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) BURGLARY. Edward Attwood and John Regan were indicted for burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of a gentleman named Cooke, and stealing therefrom certai n valuable articles, his property. Regan pleaded guilty and Attwood not guilty. Mr. W. F. Cooke said—l live at 1, Percy-terrace, West _ _ minster. I. also occupy the next hou se , N o. 2. On Sun day, the -14th of November, I went to the house, No. 2, and while there I heard a noise, which induced me to return to No. 1. I went in by a private door from the garden, which I found had been broken open. I went into the back par lour and found the place in disorder, and a quantity of pro perty packed up for removal I heard a man up stairs and I challenged him to come down. He did so. Regan is the man. He threw something at me and attempted to get away. The back entrances to the house had all been broken open. I only saw one man come down stairs. I cannot say how many persons were in the house. Bartlett, a police-constable, said, on the night in ques tion I saw Attwood come out of No. 1, Percy-terrace. He cried out " There he goes," and ran away. I pursued him, and whilst I was doing so he kept on threatening me. On . coming up to hi m I t oo k hi m i nto custody on suspicion of being concerned in a robbery. Another policeman produced some spoons which dropped from the prisoner Regan when he was taken into custody, which the prosecutor identified as his property. James Ward, the hackney carriage attendant in the Lam beth-road, identified Attwood as the man he stopped running in the Kennington-road. When Attwood was stopped he said we had got the wrong man. William Weale, a cabman, said he stopped the prisoner Regan, and found in his possession the crowbar produced which corresponded with the marks on the door and win dows of the house No. 1, Percy-terrace. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. A former conviction for burglary was proved agains Attwood, when he was sentenced to four years' penal ser vitudo in 1854 ~-- ~> THIS LAY'S MARKETS.

ACCIDENT TO THE DUKE OF HAMILTON.—His Grace the Duke of Hamilton met with an accident on the 12th inst., near Brodick Castle, Arran, while engaged, along with two gentlemen, in the cover in pursuit of wood cocks. One of the gentlemen, in firing at a woodcock —not i perceiving that the duke:was in the same direction —dis charged his piece and hit his grace. The pellets are small which are used for this description of game ; but one entered his shoulder, two •his left hand, and a fourth struck his right eyebrow, and penetrated to the bone, running an inch round, and lodging in the outer angle of the eyebrow. His grace has been confined to his room for some days, but the effects Of the injuries are happily disappearing quickly.-- Glasgow .1)61p NO, c . f2 _ BANG RETURNS.
