LAW INT'ELLIGENCE-(TUIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) APPEAL.-MOTION FOR JUDGMENT..-..PABISII V. SLEEMAN. This was an appeal from an order of Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart, on his chief clerk's certificate (Mr. Heath), and adopted by the Master of the Rolls in preparing the covenants of the lease between the parties holding that the tenant (appellant) was bound to pay the land-tax and rent charge in addition to £4O of annual rent. The Lord Chancellor was of a different opinion, and held that the tenant was not bound to pay either the land-tax or the rent charge, in addition to his annual rent of £4O, and varied the chief clerk's certificate to that extent, without costs on either side. ROLLS' COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls and a Special Jury.) MORRISON Y. 13 ARROW.-TRIAL BY JURY AND MOTION FOR DECREE, PART HEARD. The further hearing of this cause, which has extended over two days, was resumed this morning at ten o'clock. The contention is, whether the agreement of July 29, 1859, for a supply of coal from Mr. Barrow's coal mines, in Derbyshire, of 1,200 tons annually-900 at 35., and 300 at 2s. per ton for an unexpired term of 21 years, was entered into by him or his agent, Mr. Heiton. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. The business in the courts of law at Westminster this morning was devoid of public interest. In the Court of Queen's Bench Mr. lAwkins, Q.C., was engaged arguing a point of law with respect to the taxation of a bill of costs in an arbitration case. In the Court of Exchequer Mr. Tindal Atkinson occupied the attention of the learned judges with a cause of illegal distraint, Mr. Justice Black burn sat in the Bail Court hearing a case of false imprison ment ; and in the Probate and Divorce Court Sir C. Cress well, the Judge-Ordinary, was engaged hearing the argu ments of Dr. Deane in an application for probate of a will in the cause of Marsh v. Marsh and others. The cause bids fair to be a long one, as the testator, a barrister, made no less than 25 wills, with nearly as many codicils, during his lifetime, and now no less than 16 lawyers are engaged to ascertain the intentions of the testator. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) THE STATUTE OF FRAUDS..-IMPORTANT JUDGMENT.- WYNN Y. HENDRY. This was an action for goods sold and delivered. Plaintiff's case was that on a certain day defendant, and the captain of defendant's vessel, called in company with a gentleman named Crowder, and ordered 40 deals to bo sent on board the ship. Some were sent by truck, and some by water. Those sent by truck wero duly received and ac cepted, but those sent by barge were refused. Mr. Crowder deposed that ho advised defendant to take the rejected deals to Natal, at which port witness's brother would buy them. Plaintiff said that 40 deals were ordered, and 40 sent. • Mr. Buchanan contended that the delivery of deals by land was the quantity ordered. Those sent by water were not ordered, not accepted, and therefore could not be reco vered for. Mr. Wynn—lf ho had ordered brands, brands would have been sent. Defendant said that he only ordered the quantity sent by land. Ho required boards to place between some salt and the dry goods on board. Deals were of no use. When the deals sent by lighter wcra rejected, Mr. Crowder re4nra mended that the deals should be handed over to his brother, who would pay for them. Defendant expected freight for them. Mr. Crowder—l never received a freight note. Defendant—Freight is paid on the other side. Mr. Buchanan then produced a book in which was en tsred the order to plaintiff, and there it stood as 40 boards. His Honour ruled that 'by the statute of frauds plaintiff could not recover for the goods sent by water and rejected. There was a division of a quantity of goods. TEE LORD CHANCELhOR AND TILE INNS OF COURT VOLUNTEERS. This forenoon the members of the Ist and 2d companies of the Inns of Court Volunteers assembled in the Lord Chancellor's Court, to be sworn in by his lordship. The court was crowded. Plaintiff would have a verdict for 13 Ils. 5d., being for hose sent by land. NON-LIABILITY OF MASTERS FOR SERVANTS' ACTIONS- The LORD CHANCELLOR, previous to administering the oath, delivered the following address to the volunteers : It gives me high satisfaction that I have been called upon to administer to you the oath of allegiance on your entering as volunteers into the military servioe of the Crown. I rejoice in the national movement which is now displayed ; and the ardour with which you participate in it seems to me to be very creditable to the profession to which we belong. You are ready to defend the liberties of your country, not only in the forum, but in the field. (Cheers.) Gentle men, this movement is not prompted by any immediate apprehension of danger, nor from suspicion of the de signs of any particular foreign ruler or state. Fortunately, we are in amity with all nations, and I trust that we are long likely to continuo so. (Hear, hear.) But the opinion generally prevails, and I believe is well founded, that the martial disposition of our population has not of late years been sufficiently encouraged, and that our defences against foreign invasion have not kept pace with the in creased facilities of effecting a landing on cur sacred soil. (Hear, hear.) Hence the danger of panic at home, and of holding out a temptation abroad, to take advantage of our supposed unpreparedness. England is free from all notion of aggression ; we are satiated with the excess of colo nial and foreign possessions, and we desire, without in terruption to cultivate the pursuits of peace—(hear, hear) —but to secure these blessings we must bear in mind that war may come upon us unexpectedly, and that to ward off invasion we must be prepared to repel it. (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, in my early youth, when a student of law, I myself was a soldier; and perhaps I might say, " Militari non sine gloria." (Cheers.) I served in a most distinguished corps "the Inns of Court Volunteers" of that day remarkable for its discipline and efficiency ; and I had the honour of being reviewed in Hyde-park by his Majesty George 111., along with above 100,000 volunteers then and there assembled, ready to march to the coast. On the first alarm of the sailing of the Armada at Boulogne which only waited a fair wind for Sandwich or Pevensey. (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, we did our duty while the war lasted ; but we, or rather the government of that time, must be blamed for allowing all the volunteer corps in the king dom—amounting, I helievc, to between three and four hun dred thousand men—to be disbanded and dissolved as soon as peace was proclaimed. (Hear, hear.) For near half a eentury we have had no citizen soldiers among us, and we have depended for our safety against invasion on de fenders regularly in the pay of the state, who, renouncing all civil employments, professionally devote themselves to arms. (Hear, hear.) These are most gallant defenders, and we place unbounded confidence in their heroism ; but they may be greatly outnumbered by the immense bands of veteran troops who may be disembarked on our shores, and they ought to be supported by our citizens voluntarily trained to arms in every county, city, and parish in the realm. (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, it delights me to think that we approximate to a consummation so devoutly to be wished for. You have seen a noble example which, I doubt not, will be universally followed, and let me ex press my anxious hope for your steadiness and perseverance in your military career. As the movement does not proceed from any momentary impulse or temporary cause, let it be permanent. (Cheers.) I have to congratulate you on being furnished with a new weapon, the Enfield rifle, said to be so much superior to that to which we trusted—the now ridiculed " Brown Bess." In devoting a portion of each day to martial exercises, I can say, from observation and experience, that you will neither impede your legal studies nor injure the interest of your clients. (Hear, hear.) Let the rifle be now daily in the hands of our fellow citizens as the bow was once in the hands of our ancestors ; and may English riflemen be as superior to all others as English bowmen once were. (Cheers.) The oath was then administered. HOARE V. GURDIS. This was an action to recover £1 for clothes supplied to a sailor. An advance note was produced, and after some objection on the part of defendant by Mr. Davies, plaintiff said he was not going upon the advance note, he was pro ceeding for goods sold and delivered. The facts were that defendant's servant called upon the plaintiff with the sailor and said Mr. Gurdis would be answerable for the amount. The goods wore sent. Defendant's servant at the time, now not in defendant's employment, denied that he did pledge his master's credit, but plaintiff's shopman corroborated Mr. Hoare in every ' particular. Mr. Gurdis was then put into the box, and denied that he ever authorised the servant to pledge his credit. His Honour—Defendant must have a verdict with costs, and plaintiff can bring his action against the servant for deceit. 7111 S DAYS MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE.

This was an action to recover £lO cash paid for a sewing machine, one of defendant's patents. Mr. Buchanan appeared for the plaintiff, a widow, and said that £lO had been paid for a machine sold by defen dant, but which machine would not sew. Mr. Mortimer said he paid £lO out of £l2, and the machine was sent to the plaintiff. It would not work, neither could defendant's man make it. Mr. Worley deposed that he took the machine back to the defendant, who said ho would not give 50s. for it. Defendant said that the machine was a very excellent bile and worked beautifully, and it was false for any ono to say that defendant's man could not work it. The plaintiff came to defendant and took lessons, and after breaking a needle in the machine left the premises. Defendant was willing to give plaintiff anotner machine when some new ones were made. His Honour found for the plaintiff. Defendant had plaintiff's £lO, and had received his machine back. There was no doubt plaintiff was a troublesome woman, and in all future cases defendant had bettor make an out and out bar gain. Defendant—l have sold 1,500 machines, and never had a complaint before. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. OBTAINING GOODS BY FALSE PRETENCES. Ann 'Walker, a servant, was charged before Mr. Bingham with obtaining a qaantity of grocery goods from the shop of Mr. Joseph Dobson, grocer, 288, Oxford-street, by false pre tences. Mr. Dotson said the prisoner came into his shop on the previous evening and ordered some grocery to be got ready by her return in a few minutes. On coming the second time she took up the articles from the counter, and said, "They're for the Victory," and as the proprietor of that house (Mr. Turner) was a customer, he allowed her to have them ; but the thought coming across his mind that he did not know her, be sent an assistant after her, and he found that instead of going to Mr. Turner's she went up Oxford street. Ile sent to Mr. Turner, who said she had left his house about two months. Mr. Turner, of the Victory, 167, Oxford-street, said the Prisoner left his service two months, and she had no autho rity to obtain goods in his name. A brother of the prisoner stepped forward and said he believed his sister had acted under the control of her hus band, and that sh• was only from Yorkshire 10 months. Mr. Bingham said he should remand her for a week t• see whether this was the only case against her. SHOP ROBBERY.-Arthur Steggall was charged with stealing, from the shop of Mr. Richard Tuckey, draper, of 58, Mortimer-street, a Paisley shawl of the value of 18s. Mr. F. Tuckey, brother of the prosecutor, proved hear ing a noise in the doorway of :the shop on the previous evening, and on going out saw the shawl drop from pri soner's hand. The prisoner said another man took it. The value of the shawl was 18s. He had lost two dresses on Saturday night in a similar manner. Prisoner denied taking the shawl, and said he was in employ as a tailor. Police-constable 47 E said the prisoner gave a correct address, and he knew the other man alluded to as a bad character. Mr. Bingham remanded the prisoner, offering to take bail. THAMES. IMPUDENT ROBBERY ON BOARD A SUl?.—James John son, a well-known thief, about 50 years of age, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with stealing a jacket, the property of Auguste Volckman, a German sailor belonging to th 3 foreign ship Edward Charlotte. This morning the Edward Charlotte was being hauled out of the Wapping basin of the London Docks into the river, and the prosecutor took off his jacket and laid it upon the deck while he was at work. The prisoner took the op portunity while the crew were busily engaged to snatch up the jacket and immediately jump en shore. The robboiy was immediately discovered, and a Thames police-constable, a constable of the II division, and several labourers and others went in pursuit of the thief, lie was traced from street to street for nearly an hour until the track was lost for a short time. While the officers and others in pursuit of the prisoner were making inquiries about him he made his appearance fin High-street, Wapping, and was taken into custody. Ile was asked for the jacket he had stolen, and he took the officers to a house in Tent-street, St. George, near the London Dock wall, where the jacket was discovered. It was now identified by the owner. A Thames police •constable said tho prisoner had been twice convicted of felony, and that on the last occasion he was sentenced to four months' imprisonment and hard labour for stealing copper in the London Dock. The prisoner said he had been at work on board ship and picked up the jacket by mistake. Mr. Selfe—You stole the jacket. You take advantage of ships leaving the dock to steal anything you can lay your hands on. I sentence you to one month's imprisonment and hard labour.

Tumbler Magenta Whistler Five ran. BERKSHIRE STEEPLECHASE. Omar Pasha Roscommon Escape . Fourteen ran THE FRENCH EXPEDITION TO CI:11NA We learn from Toulon, of the 7th Mates the Patric of Tuesday), that the last preparations for the expedition to China are just completed. That magnificent vessel, La Reine des Clippers, freighted by the Government to receive a portion of the mili tary passengers that were disembarked from the sailing frigates, has just left the port on her voyage to Hong Kong. The arrangements ordered by the Emperor to reduce the crowding of the troop vessels have al ready produced the best results. The two screw transports, the Rhin and Nievre, anchored in Santa Cruz roads, at Teneriffe, on the 22d December, axd the report sent home to the naval authorities states that neither vessel has had a case of sickness ; and in regard to air, room, and food, e: ery man on board was satisfied that his hygienic position was ex cellent. There remains at Toulon only the Duperre, whose equipment is rapidly advancing, and she will be ready for sea in a few days. This vessel is placed under the command of Captain Bourgeois, who on arriving in China is, it7is said, to be appointed to the superintendence of the division of iron gun boats. The construction of these gunboats is going on with great activity, and they will be completed by the time agreed on. Several arc finished and one of them is even now undergoing her last trials. As they are all of the same model as regards hull, en gines, and armament, it will be needless to try them all. It is thought that the European steam trans port will be able to begin shipping six gunbeats she is to take to China about the 15th. The others will soon follow. Several of the seaport journals have spoken of a plan now in agitation for establishing a steam packet service between France and Indo-China. The statement is right in the main, though some of the details may be rectified. The necessity of the route through Egypt is admitted. Thence the principal line would run from Suez to Shanghai, having several branch lines, one of which would certainly be directed to Reunion. Shanghai has been fixed on for the Chinese end of the line be cause it is now the most important of all the Chinese ports, and because it is the great market for China silk, of which the French manufacturers have been for years considerable consumers. Shanghai is besides the place best adapted for the residence of Europeans, and offers most convenience for the re pair of vessels, and for a coal depot. iITROCIOUS MURDERS AT &Ed. The first and second mates of the American barque Anna, of New York, have been brought this week before the magistrates for the Isle of Wight, on the information of John Thomas and Abraham Rock, seamen on board the vessel, on a charge of having murdered John Turtle and several other sea men during the voyage from Legona to England. The information of the dreadful circumstances was communicated to the police on the vessel arriving at Cowes. The names of the mates are Edmund Lane and George Hires. It appears that the vessel first sailed from New York to Mobile in June last, with a crew consisting of eight men besides the captain and officers, and they included John Turtle, a man known on board as Frank, William Johnson, David Pagins, James Armstrong, and William omeroy, who are now dead. At Mobile Lane struck Armstrong on the right eye with a mallet, felled him from the fore castle to the maindeck, and knocked out his eye. He was then sent by Hires to do something to an "ear-ring" under the bowsprit, but being unable to do so he was dragged along in the water until Abraham Itock went to his assistance, when Lane exclaimed, "Don't haul the nigger in ; cut the ear ring and let him go !" In two minutes after Arm strong let go his hold and was l os t. Th e s hi p sa il e d from Mobile to Legona, in South America, and from thence to Cowes. On the voyage Hires accused Turtle of stealing rum from his cabin, and as he was obeying one of the mates' orders Hires caught him by his head, hauled him down upon the deck, stamped on his head, and kicked him with his heavy sea-boots. Turtle's head and eyes were observed to be bleeding, and he went to his berth. Hires said to a seaman, Thomas tell him, " lf he don't come out and get on to the pumps, I'll murder him." The unfortunate man's reply was, " I can't get up if they kill me." Hires went to him, pulled him out of the bunk by his ears, threw him down in the forecastle ' and stamped upon him heavily. He was laid by Thomas in the forecastle. In a few minutes Hires said, " Tom, is that old nigger dead yet ?" He was then dying, and expired the same night. His body was sewn pp and thrown overboard two days afterwards. While he was being sewn up it was seen that the bone of the forehsad was broken in the centre. The same morning a scuffle was heard in the sail-room ; it proved to be Hires holding Johnson down on the tool chest, with both hands to his throat, chok ing him. There was blood issuing from his mouth, and he died at six o'clock the same day. He said, previously to his death, " Jack, I feel very bad, and am dying—the mate has choked me to death." His tongue was hanging out of his mouth. The man Frank died about seven days before the arrival of the vessel at Cowes, after having been severely beaten by the chief mate, who said, while the man was at the wheel, " If you go a quarter of a point off your course I'll murder you." Directly after Lane struck him on the head with a belaying pin. This took place off the Start Point. The man cried *Murder' twice, said " Oh, God!" several times, and called once for the captain. The unfortunate men who fell victims to the brutality of their officers were men of colour. The prisoners have been remanded. gPIRIT LICENCES TO 271EATRES. Yesterday afternoon a public meeting on the subject of spirit licences to theatres was held at the Royal Oak Tavern, Princess-street, Lisson-grove. The meeting was numerously and respectably at tended. Mr, HARRIS, of the Equestrian, Blaiskfriars-road, was called upon to preside, and opened the proceed ings by expressing his satisfaction at the presence of so many persons not connected with the publicans' trade, showing, he thought, that the subject was in teresting to others besides licensed victuallers. Having explained the details of the dispute (as pre viously reported in our columns), the chairman stated that the petitions against the continuance of the present system were being most numerously signed, and he had no doubt when they were pre sented to Parliament the obnoxious clause would soon be repealed. Mr. SSIELLIE then proposed :—" That in the opinion of this meeting the recent alteration by which - the lessees of theatres are allowed to sell spirits, &c., while totally uncalled for by the public, is likely to be productive of great moral injury, and to lower the character of the stage." Mr. DEACON having seconded the motion, Mr. SLUES, the hon. secretary, drew attention to the preamble of the act in question, showing that it had no reference whatever to the objects attained by the clause. The act was entitled "An Act to exempt certain retailers of spirits to a small amount from the additional duties on licences, and to dis continue the excise survey on wine and the use of permits for the removal thereof." It would be rea dily seen that the preamble had nothing whatever to do with the sale of spirits in theatres; but the act contained the following clause—" And be it enacted that it shall be lawful for the commissioners and officers of excise, and they are hereby authorised and empowered to grant retail licences to any per sons to sell beer, spirits, and wine in any theatre established under a Royal patent, or in any theatre or other place of public entertainment licensed by the Lord Chamberlain ,or by justices of the peace, without the production by the person applying for such licence or licenses of any certificate or authority for such person to keep a common inn, alehouse, or victualling house, a nything in any act or acts to the contrary notwithstanding. ' The resolution having been put and carried una nimously, the petition to Parliament in favour of a repeal of the clause was approved of, and thanks were voted to the licensed victuallers of Binning ham, who had waited upon Mr. Scholefield, M.P., in connection with the matter. Several persons hay ing protested against the continuance of the present system, thanks were voted to the chairnian, and the proeeedings closed. The prospectus has been issued of the Rio de Janeiro Drainage Company, with a capital of £650 000, in £2O shares. The concession is for 90 years, and ee the in company an annual revenue of £4 14s. 6d . , Braz ilian currency, for every house in the city, the total number being now 13,739. The company calculate that this rate, which is to apply also to every house that may hereafter be erected, will, according to the arrang ements made with their contractors for construction and repair, yield a net revenue equal to 81 per cent., supposing the quotation of exchange with England to be on an average maintained at par. The contract provides for the payment of 2 per cent. interest during the progress of the works. TEE FRENCH MISSION 2'o SIAM., The Constitutioknel publishes the following letter from one of the Sisters of Charity who form part of the mission to Siam. It is dated from Bangkok, sth November : " You are aware that our vessel was ordered to call at this place on her Way to her destination. We arrived at the mouth of the river Menam on the 11th Sept., and, in order that we might not lose time in going up the river, the captain hired a large covered barge to convey us to Bangkok. We started in the evening a ith a brilliant moon light, and arrived at about five in the morning. We met with the kindest reception from Mgr. Pal legoin, and attended mass with him, while the captain occupied himself with procuring lodgings for us in the town. The news of our arrival soon spread; the native Christians told the missionaries in the neighbourhood that the French religieuses with white wings (alluding to our head-dress) had come, end several of them hastened to welcome us. We told them that we were only birds of passage among them. All, even the vener a bl e bishop, walked about barefoot. Soon after we had taken possession of the lodgings - which the captain had found for us, we vt ere visited by a schoolmistress and a number of Christian girls, who brought us presents of fruit and cakes. For some few days we never went out except to attend mass. On the 16th the first Prince of the kingdom paid us a visit, accompa nied by Viscount de Castlenau and an interpreter, and followed by a number of slaves who walked with their heads almost bent to the ground. The Prince is tall, but so corpulent that he could scarcely walk. H:s dress consisted of a long silk robe, a white calico waistcoat, and a scarf of yellow silk. He was barefooted: His head was shaved in the Siamese fashion, with only a tuft left on the crown. The first slave carried a gold box containing betels nut, and the second a gold vase containing cigars and a pocket-book. The Prince, on entering, saluted us in the European style, and put some questions as to our professions and. our occupations. lie told us us that if we wished to see the first King, the Consul had only to apply for an audience. On leaving, the Prince tapped our captain on the shoulder, and said he should bp very glad to see him at his house. The Consul, at our request, arranged that the visit to the King should take place on the 3d October. -On that day we proceeded from our residence to the palace, which is at some distance, in the barge of Monseigneur, ornamented with the French flag ; the Consul and a French missionary followed us, each in his boat. On landing we had to walk under a burning sun through a long street paved with zed bricks, and as we passed we saw the stables of the royal elephants. We were received at the palace by a page under a sort of canopy, and were requested to sit down while he an nounced our arrival to the King. We had to wait for some time, when the Consul, seeing that we were fatigued, sent a second message, and we were immediately admitted. The court of the palace was filled with an immense number of slaves seated on their heels. The King stood to receive us at the door of the audience chamber. He is a man of middle height and very thin, and the ex pression of his countenance has a sternness which marks the absolute sovereign. His dress consisted of a long loose silk dress, a white shirt, a small thin silk waistcoat, and a Scotch cap and slippers embroidered with gold. The consul presented us, and the missionary addressed a few words to his Majesty in the Siamese language. The Kirtg looked, at sts for some moments in silence, and then, hold ing out his hand to me, asked if I spoke English. On my replying in the affirmative, he said in that language, Ladies, do you wish to see the Queen Consort ?' and then, without asking the gentlemen to enter, he requested us to follow him. He walked very fast through a large hall filled with princes and mandarins, who all prostrated themselves with their faces to the ground. A number of little chil dren dressed in silk, and covered with gold chains and bracelets, flocked around us. We'followed the King through several passages in the midst of a double row of females all bent to the ground. His Majesty suddenly stopped, and asked us if we spoke Latin ; he said he did, and, to convince us, recited the formula nomine Pairis,' &c. He then took the crucifix attached to our rosary, saying that he knew a great deal about our religion. We at length reached a handsome saloon furnished in the European style, and where there was an arm-chair iu gold, a present from the Queen of England. On entering he introduced the Queen Consort to us. She was dressed in a long robe, with a scarf thrown over the right shoulder. `he is rather a good-looking woman, and about forty years of age. The King also presented to us the Queen's three children, and a number of ladies with about thirty chil dren. He then asked us to sit down, and himself offered some figs in gold baskets ; and next opened a liquer-case, and poured out some curagao from one of the bottles, and handed a glass to each. He kept one himself, and proposed as a toast The Catholic religion and Jesus, the Saviour of the World.' The King, who constantly spoke Eng lish, talked to us of Mgr. Pallegoin, whom he called friend,' of Queen Victoria, and of several illustrious men in England. He also spoke of the Pope, and requested us to come and look at a portrait of his Holiness, which he'had in a pretty little boudoir. Wherever the King went, he was followed by a young girl, one of the body-guard, who carried a sabre 00 her shoulder, and whenever his Majesty stopped, she placed herself on her knees close to him. We were afterwards conducted by the King to his library, where he complained that the worms had devoured almost all his books. On returning to the Queen's saloon, we found the table covered with different dishes of meat and pastry. At the close of the repast, the King handed to each of us a small cake, and took. one himself. He expressed to us the pleasure he felt at seeing French religieuses at his table. His Majesty spoke very correct English, but pronounced the words with some difficulty. During all these ceremonies, the little children played about us with great glee, and fondly caressed us. On our leaving they all held out their hands and said Good bye,' the only English words they knew. We then took leave of his Majesty and returned to our lodgings, and in a short time after a number of slaves came, bringing us the figs which had been served at the Royal table. Ou tho following day we returned the visit of the Prince, and were received with less etiquette than at the King's Palace. The house of the Prince formed a most singular museum. In the rooms there was a complete confusion of European, Siamese, and Chinese furniture, saddles, hats of all forms, chronometers, books,Careel lamps, gold and silver vases, cloth and hair brushes, and caskets full of precious stones, all scattered about pele-mele, on and under the furniture. On our leaving, the Prince requested that we would make known in France that we had met with a welcome reception, which I promised to do." PUBLIC FEELING IN VENETIA. During the late representation of a ballet in the theatre of Treviso, a city in the Venetian provinces, the consummate agility and artistic feeling dis played by one of the performers was such as to evoke the most rapturous expressions of applause on the part of the spectators, who had gathered together in unusual members, on account of the present festive season of the year, as well as of the extreme scarcity of diversions on the other side of the Mincio—the consequence of- the unhappy issue of political events. According to custom, the stage was inundated with a shower of wreaths and nosegays proceeding from every part of the house. The girl, whether yielding to the im pulse of the moment, or previ3usly instructed in the part she was to play—and the event proved her to be a docile pupil—selected from the floral tribute which lay at her feet three wreaths—one green, the other red, and the third white—blended them together, and advancing to the foot-lights, made a graceful acknowledgment of the enthusiastic plau dits of the multitude, and with fervid significance pressed the national eolours to her bosom.
