COURT OF CHANCERY. BURROWS V. GORE: The further bearing of this case was resumed to-day by Mr. R]lt, Q.C., for the respondent. The learned gentleman had not concluded hie speeoh when our re porter left. Blackfvood.—"What Will He Do With It" is chiefly retrospective in this part. For the sake of impressing an important truth forcibly upon the mind of Lionel, Colonel Morley goes back far into the past, and reveals many strange things to his astonished young friend. Lionel is greatly inte rested in the sad narrative brought before his notice, and fancies he recognises an old friend in the unfortunate hero of the story ; in fact, no other than the singularly gifted and strangely situated old man whom he encountered years be fore in the quiet village as Gentleman Wade. The dark mystery which hung over the forlorn wan derer, dimming his path, even when a transient gleam seemed to enliven it, as a heavy cloud ob scures the fairest landscape, is partially accounted for in the events here recorded. The most in e resting passage met with is that which chronicles the success of the aspiring and some time despair ing George Vipont Morley. Triumphing over physical defects and mental disquietude, he at last achieved his destiny, than which a nobler cannot devolve upon man, of conveying to suffering sin ners the glad tidings of pardon and peac ~ and pointing to his fellow-immortals the way to a bet ter and enduring city. Darrell, usually so ab stracted and careworn, seemed to rouse himself to regard with interest the success of this enthusiast, and even to feel some excitement for his welfare. He appreciated the admirable manner in which he had been taught. He did not know the master mind that had directed the high intelligence and produced the result he admired. ",I see," he ex claimed to George, "that you are one of the few who deem that the Divine Word should not be un worthily uttered, all that enforce, dignify, adorn, make the becoming studies of him, who strives by eloquence to people Heaven." This will doubtless be seen hereafter to have been an important instalment. "The Defeat of the Factions" is an ably written article, and attracts attention from its referrieg to the one important topio of the present thy. The writer states that the "Factions have held their field-day at the expense of our Indian empire and the British constitution, and were thoroughly beaten and humiliated ; they stand self-condeinned at the bar of the country." In a powerful manner he relates the chief events of the momentous struggle, explaining the manoeuvres, exposing the fallacies, and demonstrating the inconsistencies of the opposition. It is not often that such opportunity is given to a commentator on politics of recording so signal a success for his friends, or so direful a defeat for his foes, and the reader will find that the golden opportunity has not been lost. The remarks on Lord Elenborough render justice to that distinguished man, whom the sequel of events has proved so correct in his judgment. It is observed that oratory has seldom producad any thing equal to his speech on the question. "Parliament never witnessed anything morally grander than the position and bearing of the noble lord, as, having thrown down office that he might speak untrammelled, he stood there pleading with earnest and flashing eloquence the cause alike of humanity and policy in our vast Indian realms. He did not stoop to the trivialities and person alities of debate. He brushed aside the petty considera tions of red-tape and routine. He boldly defended his policy out and out. He justified both the Despatch and its publication." Some time is devoted to the consideration of the Smith episode, which is truly styled the most. ex traordinary that the House of Cora , _nons has wit nessed. "The history of the suppressed letters" will for ever figure among the oauses celebres of the British Parliament." The last night of the debate is thus described— " The House of Commons was crowded—crammed al perhaps it never was before. There had been a tremendous " whip" on both sides, and, summoned by electric wire, members had hurried thither from all parts of the Conti nent. The benches could not accommodate the member and numbers stood on the cr ow d e d fl oor . A roun d an d above, every gallery was filled with distinguished on lookers. Crowds were outside in the Palace-yard ; and once, but once only, as the members assembled, the crowd was heard cheering, and in walked the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The Ministerial benches were intensely ex cited, but radiant; the Opposition anxious, and unmis takeably non-plussed. They knew they were beaten. Their case had melted away—their orators, too, were ex• hausted, all but Palmerston ; while not a third of the de bating power of the Ministorialists had been called into Gladstone, Walpole, Kelly, and Dis raeli, roused to their highest efforts by the occasion , would O ui ld wo C " had still to make its terrible r, uard onset—and Pa Yhe ‘ B sweep everything before them, and make the country as well as the house ring with their lofty and telling oratory." "The mutiny became general. Mr. Duncombe said "he had intended to vote for the motion, and hal not disguised his opinion ; but as the case stood, if Mr. Cardwell perse vered in his motion, he would put on his hat and wish him `good night,' leaving him to the tender mercies of honourable gentlemen opposite !" At length, after much consultation held by Mr. Cardwell with Lord John Rus sell, Sir C. Wood, and Lord Palmerston, the latter, as leader of the routed faction, rose (confused, and with the worst grace he ever showed in his life), and joined in the appeal that Mr. Cardwell should withdraw his motion Mr. Cardwell, of course, assented ; and then came the ca pitulation. The motion could not be withdrawn without the permission of the house, an the Minist3rialist leader was appealed to. The hour of victory had come. Like a consummate general, Disraeli, to appearance as impaasive as marble, had watched every feint and move of his troubled antagonists ; and now, calm and concentrated amidst his unparalleled triumph, he rose amid deafening cheers. With a magnanimity which was true wisdom, and with admirable taste, he said that if he were only to consult party interests, he should prefer to go on with the debate, and was quite ready to divide the house on the motion; but that there were higher interests than those of party, and that to those higher interests he should bow, by giving the Opposition the permission they desired. Mr. Cardwell then, amidst tremendous cheering from the Mini. sterialists, moved that the vote of censure be withdrawn i" "May Day" is a most amusing little sketch, which relates the misadventures of an old gentleman who, on returning from India, endeavoured to keep a time-honoured but most inconvenient custom, and— " Waked, as the custom was, before the day, To pay the observance due to sprightly May," His diary is most ludicrous, and may well serve to pass away an idle hour agreeably by itz perusal. "Religious Memoirs" is the subject of a paper that contains some very judicious remarks on the subject of biographies, and expresses opinions which it would be satisfactory to find more generally dif fused, concerning the practice of mixing up religious writing with the simple observances of daily life, and rendering ridiculous, by the inconsistency, the very people they profess to honour. Of memoir writing so generally adopted, and en couraged by a curiosity that calls itself interest, and that desires to criticise what it professes to de plore. The present paper confines itself chieflyto the review of Me. Hogg's recent volumes, and only relates to that portion of Shelley's life which ho narrates. When his concluding volumes are pub lished we are promised another essay on the sub ject. A paper on the political and social prospects of the Australian Colonies will be attractive to those who are interested in our colonial future. The statistics of its progress, the political constitu tion, which is peculiar to itself as a dependency, the Land Question, and all similar topics are treated of at length. The recent memoirs of M. Guizet and Louis Blanc furnish a paper on French social changes. In speaking of the former the writer says, "In fact there is no man ou the continent, and scarcely a man among ourselves, with whom we can compare M. Guiz A. For the last thirty years he has led nearly as active a political life as our own late Premier, Viscount Palmerston, of whom he is three years the junior ; while for more than half a century he has led as laborious a literary life as any literary man of his day. In th %t timehe has been professor, author, and draunaiist, translator and reviewer, pamphleteer and historian, editor and leading -article writer, essayist and moralist, Master of Requests, councillo: of State, under-secretary, deputy, and at length minister and ambassador." Lie subsequently gives us an interesting sketch of the early life of the statesman and litterateur. " The men of the Indian Mutinies" is a paper on some of the melt prominent men whom the troubles of India have raised to eminence. It does not suggest much that is new or striking, and is mainly occupied in de fending the acts of some of the chief civilians, whom the public have not regarded with any great degree of favour. A paper on Matthew Arnold's Merope has some remarks on the characteristics of Greek tragedy, but the specimens given of the modern imitation are not likely to impress the lovers of true poetry. "Squire _Bolton's Trans gression" brings the troubles cf Guy Hathaway and the pretty Sylvia to a suitable conclus on. The Albatross is treated of is the usual paper on Natural History. "A Mutiny of Pr ar nciel Troops" is the title of a paper taker. from Tacitu , drawing a compar'son between. the Bengal muti neers and the insurrect on of the Batavi—a warlike people of Teutonic race, who eedeavoured to throw off the Roman yoke at the time when Virelltus and Vespasian were disputing the posso'sion of the imperial dignity. "Poems from Eversley, a ftpring tide study," can scarcely be called a criticism of Mr. Kingsley's poems, as it is little more than a tr'bute of admiration. Though many of his briefer lyrics are full of fire and feeling, we cannot coincide in the wholesale admiration expressed. There is an attack on those severecritics who destroy all romance and tradition to make room for their own un graceful substitutes, which may very probably las overthrown in their turn by the next self-elec ed champion of the prosaic. The political writer of Fraser gives Ils an article on Lord Derby's three month's in power, in which, not being able to prove his friends right and his adversaries wrong quite so much to his own satisfaction as usual, he takes refuge in an ingenious general depreciation of the Ministry, and a lamentation over the decadence of the English Parliament. Bentley's. —Mr. Dudley Costello's story with the interesting title of '• Faint Heart never won Fair Lady," proceeds in its accustomed manner and natrates some events of importance. The good RAchel is left in a painful predicament, being suddenly called upon to surrender her adopted child under very suspicious circumstances. Monks hood's " New Book Notes," :treat of Micholet's History of France in the seventeenth century, giving an account of the plot for the assassination of Cardinal R;chelieu, which terminated so fatally for Auguste Da Thon, son of the historian, and the young Cinq Mar., the favourite of the King. There are some s t riking verses entitled" Leontiu., ' addressed to the veteran author of " The Story of Rimini"— Dublin.—" Gerald Fitzgerald" is the first of the contents; the story is not so interesting in this part ; it does not make much progress, relating chiefly to a quarrel between Gerald and Marietta. " Froude's History of England" forms the subject of a most able article, it is written in an itriparlial manner, and criticises in a fair spirit. Mr. Froude's style is described " as an Aolian lyre, which is loud or low, long or short in its utterance, as it is swept by the varying wind," and it is observed that the work iu question is " a noble monument of the English Church and State." " The Times and the Times" is a short piper which treats of some social questions, and attaches great importance to a " free press," which is called the viceroy of a "free people." It is truly said that " the isola tion of England has been complained of by foreign writers, let it be remembered that it is the isolation of the freeman from the bondage of the slave." Many readers will doubtless be pleased to peruse the article on " Richard Savage," whch is well worthy of attention. It is true that the theme is painful, and the interest a mournful one, that at taches itself to the subject of these remarks. It is said that Johnson's friendship for hitn was most sincere, and his biography only too favourable— " Lord of our laughter, master of our tears," rendering the homage of a cordial admiration in ♦igorous and expressive language. " The Diamond Bracelet" is the title of an interesting story, which is left unfinished, and which turns like many other tales on the mysterious disappear ance of some valuable jewellery. The remains of Dr. Byrom, otherwise known as John Shadow, form the subject of an entertaining paper. " The Lion's Breath," is taken from the work of Alexandre Dumas, and is somewhat extravagant. " Thanatos Athanatos," though extending to an unreasonable length, is full of quaint and pleasant reading, varied with anecdotes and quotations. " Imperial Paris," is the title of an article, which traces the recent improvements and embellish ments i❑ the neighbouring capital. " From Delhi to Cawnpore" is a melancholy recital of the suffer ings of au English family in the mutiny of Bengal. A brief notice of the performances at her Majesty's Theatre concludes the number. "When that poor friend had gone to his account, Johnson gave the woad the Life we speak of, a 9 fresh and glowing with the morning lightg, and tender hues, and vivid feeling of his early companionship and love for him who was mare than a year dead, as if he had only just parted with him, after a long and delightful talk and walk, and given him a shake by the hand at the corner of Fleet-street." Iu conclusion it is observed that— Colburn's New Mont My.—" The E krl's Di lemma," by the au hor of "Ashley," is a very clever story, continuing the adventures commenced in last month's number. In this part we meet with a very good instance of the extreme dangcr and difficulty of that liedtating course which so many adopt. Lord Hartledon was an extreme case, per haps, hut there are too many who tread in his foot steps, and are deficient in moral courage, which is the true source of strength in all human undertak ings. He endeavoured to please all parties, and at last created so much confusion that the reader will doubtless learn in a future part that he reaped some unpleasant consequences. "Buckle's History of Civilisation" is treated of at some length, and is regarded with the respect which so eminent a work merits. It is asserted that " whoever misses read ing this book, will miss reading what is, in various respects, to the best of our judgment and expe rience, the most remarkable book of the dao ." "One Day's Longings," by Mary Mouck, is the title of some verses that are wry pleasing. The general ides is expressed in the following : Then I sighed, " Oh ! for the power Which the ancient Ma;ii hold ; Oh ! for this one dab's possession Of ths fiery spells of old." I woul 1 free those toiling wretches, Send them forth to woods and fields, Till their brows grow smooth and radiant With the joy that Nature yields ; To the shell-strewn shores of Ocean, Where the long swell breaks in foam, To the wild and pathless mountains Where the eagle makes his home; To the margins of great rivers, Where their weary limbs night rest, Till the beauty round them lavish'd Struck a chord in every breast; Till they lost the grime of labour, Till they knelt upon the sod, Soaricg up with souls a wakened To the mercy-seat of God. Mr. Bu hhy continues the narrative cf his visit to Leland last summer, and gives romp entertaining pictures of life and manners in those wild northern regions. The next subject we meet is a very at tractive one—" Thomson as a Poet of Nature." In treatine , of his capacities in this departm , :nt of his art, the critic renders him that unqualified praise which is his duo. The writer remarks with justice on the strong and widely-diffused love of poetry which is a characterist:c of the English people. "A people in whom the love of poetry, and especially the poetry of Nature, is so strong, is assuredly very far from appro:tehing that down ward path iu the career of nations, one of the indications of which is often exhibited in the extinction of the imagination." Many extracts are given from the beautiful scenes in the " Castle of Indolence." In conclusion, he says : " We would deliberately Bay that hiEtory, or biogra phy, the colours on the painter's canvass, or the cuttings of the seu'ptor's chisel, the poet's flight, or the tracings of the pencil, have never produced or perpetuated any record so mournful :—nor is there any aunal-so dark, or any memoir so full of heart-broken misery, as that of poor, unhappy, gifted, Richard Savage." " Rome and Her Rulers" relates to the work re cently published by Cardinal Wiseman, it renders a tribute to the manner in which he has achieved his task, but suggests to the reader that in the pre late's descriptions they see but one side of the pic ture. " Novels for Infancy, Manhood, and Second Childhood," give rise to some rell.?.c,ions, in which the writer is hardly fair to female novelists. " The Cobbler and the Round Tower " is an amusing tale in verse, which chronicles the unfortunate events that bofel a man who maintained a character for wisdom. Thomson is a poet for all time. His productions aro the creations of a mind of exquisite sensibility, and pure as the morning dew. Ho is emphatically the poet of Na ture as she manifests herself in England, and her people will turn to him with increased sympathy and affection us often as, seduced for a season into the admiration of some unworthy professor of the divine art, they regain the purity of their taste and return to the living fountains which have been so abundantly opened up for thorn ; or, to adopt the imagery which Thomson has so well employed iu his Castle of Indolence, as often as, released from the magic spells of some false enchanter who may have bound and held them captive for a while, they are reawakened to the superior attractions of simplicity and truth. " Tho Autobiography of Ernest Mitterkamp" is continued • and au intere3ting tale, entitled "The Will Fowl Hunter," follows. A criticism on Ma dame de Pontes' recent work on " The Poets and Poetry of Germany," renders that lady due credit for her arduous undertaking. " The Provisional i Government" tak e s a g l an ce at the position of France in 1848, and t er mi n ates the list of articles. Fraser.—Fraser's Magazine this month does not present any special attractions. There are some interesting subjects and some articles that will repay perusal, but the general effect is somewhat tedious. One of the most attractive papers is the opening one, a criticism on the recent memoirs of Shelley, by a friend and companion of the poet. The introductory remarks on the mania for literary biographies, which is now so common, are just and forcible, rcible, The fact of an i n di v id ua l h av i ng pub some volumes of prose or verse does not autho rise these totally unconnected with him to intrude not only on the actions and events of his life, but on . his priv a t e th oug ht s an d feel i ngs, hi s pre f eren ces, his aversions, his weaknesses and foibles. If a writer is in th e h a bi t o f pu bli s hi ng his sentiments on some t o pi cs to th e wor ld , th e natural inference to be dra wn f rom hi s s il ence on other. 4, is that he do, , s not wish t h em t o be pu bli c ly discussed and tly It is with regret that we gee th i s system The United Service.—A paper on "Our Position in India, with a glance at our recent operations'," is the first to meet the reader. The writer seems to consider that we must maintain in India a sys tem of stern repression—that the slightest relaxa tion of severe military discipline will be fr 'lowed by another outburst, and that those who advocate a more merciful code are only &sinus ofsmootiling the way to our ultimate surrender of all right to gover n. We cannot coincide with the opinions of the author, or admire the vehemence with which he upholds them. A paper on " Ports and Aggres sion" deserves perusal, and suggests some subjects to the consideration of those in authority It comes to the conclusion that " wo ought by this tiin have had a harbour for our million s spent; and the to the cor)s , iquences of our want of energy, in case o f a more serious condition of continental politics, may be to the people of this kingd om a, source ofMoraji- A. New I n di an fication." A paper, entitled Army," suggests sma methods for reorganising ur Indian defences. Another article, on " The Gazette of Blood," refers to the fearful list of deaths and murders chronicle l itt the London Gazette of the 6th May. It is, ind , ed, a fearful record of th e crimes and suifelings of humanity.L;eutenant- Colonel Alexander's reminiscences of a visit to the Chinese Empire are continued with its accustomed. entertainment. Fukien and Hong Kong are plea santly described. " The Navy, its -Paint, L two, I and Customs," is the title of a paper treating of many points of naval management and discipline which are capable' of improvement. An article on the merits of the various routes to the Pacific gives a list of the rival designs that have ben proposed for connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and arrives at the conclusion that the Nicaragua Canal is the mist feasible and advantageous. A review of "Marshal Marmont's Memoirs" brings to -a conclu4on the criticism on that, work, which tjec a t rsh o a f l emvseerlafl mayiut n er e e t s b ti e ng a I.sb.eenThothuge u Though subject Marshal very cilivalric character the stirring scenes in which he moved, and theeminent men who moved in them, suffice to engage the reader's attention. " The Sepoys and the landholders of Ou le," is the tile of an extract from a letter from an officer on the spot, " who has pasied thr oug h t h e dif ferent stages of the revolt." He says that the re settling of Oude w 11 be a very difficult bu-iness„ and among other mistskes at the time . of the an ' nexation of Oude, he asserts that the title-deeds of the chieftains and others holding large property were too severely scrutinised. It would have been wiser, he says, to have left them as we found them in , tead of going back for years and years to find out the rightful owner and dispossess the land holder who had owned them fur along period. The theory he admits waS partially goad, but the practice was inefficient, and, as the cases of op preseion or bribery were not recent our interferena was uncalled for, and a bitter enmity was excited against the interfering..g.overnmeut. The second part of the paper on the Party Politics of the United Stites is given, and the Editor's portfolio contains its usual summary of events and opinions. All the usual military and naval intelligence occu pies its customary place. OPPOSITION TO THE LONDON CORP°. RATION BILL. A copy of tho following has been sent to the Town Clerk of every Corporation in the King dom ; GUILDHALL, May 29, 1858. Sir,—l am desired by the Corporation of Lon don to request you will call the attention of your corporation to a bill now pending in Parliament, which, while it merely affects to regulate the Cor p Jration of London, attempts not only to d e st ro y Vie powers of usefulness of that body by confisca ting its inetage dues, but establishes a principle, which, if permitted to prevail in this case, may be engrstted at any future period upon the general Act by which all other Municipal corporations in the country are now governed. The act, to which this bill professes to be assimi lated, so far from abolishing any of the local dues belonging to the several corporations included with in its operations, recognises all such dues in express terms as part of their legitimate property. Under the present bill these dues, which the Corporation purchased from the Crown, and has enjoyed upwards of 600 years, are propol to be taken away without consent or compensation, by an act of power on the part of the Imperial Parl'a ment of England, which has recently exhibited to the world its extrem3 sensitiveness upon questions affecting the feudatory and proprietary tights of in dividuals and communities in the most distant parts of the globe in which the power of the British Parliament is felt. The accompanying papers set forth in a few sen tences the title of the Corporation to metage dues, and its reasons why they should not be confiscated by Parliament. In order that this subject may be fully under stood by the members of ycur municipal body, I have sent by this post a number of copies of these documents, that you may circulate them among the members of your corporation It is not pretended by the promoters of the bill that the Corporation of London, during the six centuries it has possessed these revenu.ss, has ever abused its trust ; on the contrary, the Crown Com missioners, who, iu 1834, and again in 1854, insti tuted a most inquisitorial investigation into its cor porate affairs, reported that they had not been able , o discover any act of corruption or malversation on the part of the corporation or its officero. Tue tttle of the corporation to these dues cannot t. , 0 disputed; if it were otherw!se, it ought to be done before the proper tribunals established in this country to inquire into all questions affecting the righ's and wrongs of persons and property within the jurisdiction of the British laws. Teo attempt to deprive the coil) Iration of Lon don of this ration of its property by legislative instead of j udicial means, is based—it is understood —upon thr.2.3 principle;, which, if recognised by Parham , nt will be subversive of all corporate rights' and prove dange:ous to every description of pro petty, i❑ whatever hands it may be found. 1. It is said that incorporeal sonic s of revenue, such as metage dues, port dues, town dues, tlrc., are not entitled to the same protection and secu rity as rents and revenues derivable from corporeal and tangible estates. 2. It said that even if these inoorporeal sources of revenue are to be protected in the bands of noblemen, lords of manors, and other fortunate holders of royal grants ot this description, yet they are not sacred in the hands of corporations, and may be dealt with as Parliament thinks fit. 3. If from the increase of population—if from the altered value of money, properly in the hands of a ryllenia.ri or gentleman increases enormously in amount, he is congratulated as a fortunate matt, and neither the Legislature nor the law assumes the right either to curtail his possessions or to in qu re how he is pleased to dispose of them. But it is pretended that municipal carporatiens ought to be governed by a difrirent principle, and that the amount and mole of appropriation of revenu, , s p chrised and possessed by corporations are legitimate subjects of inquiry at any time when, for any rea ,:on, it is proposed to pet cure their confiscation. The Crown Connnissionors %rho investigated the conduct of the Corporation in 1854, after pro nouncing both members and officers free from the charge of misconduct, avow this principle of action; for, without impugning the title of the Corporation or its rightful appropriation of the motage dues, they propose their abolition, because, as they say in their report, the Corporation will, after their confiscation, have enough left for purposes of pub lic us; fulness, as well as for what they are pleased to describe, as the means of 't decent hospitality an d splendour." When the. G - overament desired to revoke the Duke of Richmond's right to Is. a chaldron dues upon all coals exported from the Tyne and consumed in England—when the Government wished to re take the Duke of Grafton's dues on all wine brought into the port ot Landon, the Government did not issue inqui ,,, itorial commissions to inquire when and where, and how and by what 'Means, and from whom and for what valuable Considerations these noble dukes acquired these revenues, nor did they inquire their former or present amount ; s . ill less was it asked how they spent the money, what was the amount of their other possessions, or, if the coal and wine dues were taken away without compensa tion, what means they would have of sustaining the "decent hospitality and splendour" of their station. If the Government had attempted, or Parliament had sanctioned such inquiries, with the intention of abolishing those dues, a cry of spoliation and confiscation would have teen echoed by the pro perty classes throughout the realm. T here can be uo doubt but that every peer, every lord of a manor, and every other person in the realm posses sing . any o f the Crown, would . i b i y av u e united o a action h a e r r i e d d i t :d r individualn petitions,revenues sentei a bold resistance against such a violation of the sacred rights of property. If such would have been the practice of indivi duals in such a case, the Corporation of London t ru sts that the corporations of the United Kingdom will combine in the defence of the principle which the Corporation of London is called upon, the third time in the course of six centuries, to assert and maintain._ To render such assistance effective it must be You will perceive by the ac company i ng documents that au effort will be m a d e i n the .House of prompt. com Commons to get the bill recommitted. A motion to that effect will be made in the course of the next week, when a petition in its favour, somewhat re sembling the enclosed draft, will be of groat value. Thi, Corporation will likewise feel much obliged if you will in the interim apprise your representatives in Parliament of your wish that our application should have the benefit of their support.—l have the honour to bo, Sir, your obedient servant, H. A. MEREWETRER, Town Clerk. THE OUTWARD WEST INDIA AND PIGITIO MAILS.— The steamship Magdalena, Cleft.

Mr. Flood applied for a writ of certiorari to be directed against this gentleman, of the Island of St. Helena, to bring the record and indictment in the case into this court, to stay all subsequent proceedings thereon, with a view to a writ of error for an habeas corpus to bring up the body of the prisoner. The prisoner was tried and convicted for an assault at St. Helena, which conviction and subsequent sentence was considered to be illegal. The question turned upon whether the Island of St. Helena was governed by its own laws in existence before it was•conquered or ceded by the Dutch, or whe ther it was governed by the common and statute law of England. These charters were handed in and read, but neither of them embodied the mepus of the English law, but the Chief Justice of the Island had superior authority in all matters of the kind. After bearing the learned counsel at some length, Mr. Flood said he believed he had omitted to bring one charter, which embodied the corpus of the English law. The question was allowed to stand over for its pro duction. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK.-IN RE H. BROWN. To-day was appointed for the last examination of Mr. Humphrey Brown, one of the director. of the Royal British Bank, and he was brought up in custody under the Commississioner's warrant. Mr Linklater, for the assignees, asked for an adjourn ment, as the accounts, which were intricate, required examination, and no doubt certain information for their elucidation. He proposed two months. His Honour said he could not name a day before his vacation, but he did not see how the bankrupt could suffer by a delay. Mr. Linklater said it would perhaps be better to take an adjournment for a longer period with leave for Mr. Brown to apply for an earlier day if prepared, as it bad been intimated that Lopes were intertained he would obtain his release. His Honour said he would grant proteetion till th• 4th of November. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.- --(This Day.; MARLBOROUGH -STREET. - - ROBBERY OF SILK DRESSES BY LADY THIEVES. SYSTEMATIO PLUNDERING.—Susannah Bishop, 32, Ella BishOp, 24, and Kate Bishop, 22, three well-dressed females, Were charged with stealing two silk dresses of the value of 141. from Mrs:Perclval, milliner , &c., 20, George-street, Hanover-square.

On Saturday morning I placed two pieces of silk in the show-room. One was a brown pieee about 21 yards, the other drab, about 12 yards—the value of the two 14/. Remembered being called into the show room on Satur day, and saw the three prisoners. One of them, Kate, said she was Vansittart of Oatlands Park and of Harley street. She gave me an order for from 13 to 30 dresses, as she was going to India in a mouth. I missed the silk in the evening, and no persons had been in the room but two ladies who had been customers for 20 years. Mr. Bingham said he would advise the prisoners to reserve their defence. The charge against them was very serious. There were two strong points against them—one that they had received the (Am ge in silence, the other that one of them had represented herself as Miss Vansittart, of Oatlands Park and Harley-street, at neither of which places were they known. Remanded for a week. THAMES.

Mr. Yardley—l sectence the prisoner to one month's imprisonment and hard labour, and if ho annoys his mother again I will order hire to find bail to keep the peace for 12 months ; and, as nobody will be surety for hueli a fellow, he will have to remain in prison for a year.
