The rest was left out for want of room in the parchment. Mr. Jay then contended that the words "General Build ing" did not bind plaintiff to teach young Watkiss how to take out quantities, and other branches. Plaintiff insisted that it did, and that by handling bricks and mortar the boy would soon gain a practical knowledge of the calling. Mr. Jay—There is another objection to your recovering, and a fatal one. You have not made the father a party to the indenture, and cannot recover. In addition, there is no clause by which you can charge for keeping the bay. His Honour said the objection was fatal. Plaintiff had been his own lawyer, and must remember the old adage. The indentures are informal, and therefore could not be sued upon. If parties would only keep to their own busi nesses it would be all the better for them. Verdict fur defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS D. 4 Y.) ALLEGED ASSAULT ON LORD HOLLAND.—Mrs. Jane Allen, a respectable married female, wife of Mr. James Allen, of 130, Warwick-street, Pimlico, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with assaulting Augustus Frederick Lord Holland, of Holland House, Kensington, in Regent-street. Sergeant Edwards, 2 C, said the gentleman who gave the accused in charge signed the sheet " Augustus Frederick, Holland House, Kensington," but was not uow present. Mr. Allen, the husband of the accused, here stepped for ward, and said he wished to make an explanation. His wife was walking with two ladies (now present), her sisters, to get an omnibus. The person touched his wife two er three times, and she pushed him away, when his hat fell off. She told him to go away, and ho then gave her into custody. Sergeant Edwards said the prosecutor was not now in attendance. Mr. Bingham said if ho (Mr. Allen) had sufficient proof of an assault on his wife, the best way, would be to take out a summons against the person for an assau lt on hi s w if e . _ He should have the address and anyassistance he requi;ed . There being no prosecutor, his wife was, of course, dis. charged. Mr. Allen having expressed himself satisfied at tfe ma gistrate's advice, loft the caurt expressing, his intention o taking proceedings hereafter. THAMES. RUNNING A MUCK. VIOLENT ASSAULT UPON A POLICE-CONSTABLE._A well-dressed man, of good ad dress, who gave the name of John Putney, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with assaulting Henry John Baddeley, a police-constable of the K division. The complainant said that he was in the Mile-end-road last night, and met the prisoner and two others. The pri soner was very drunk and making a disturbance, and upon reaching witness knocked him down by a blow with his fist. He got up and seized the prisoner, who struggled hard to get away. He procured assistance, and the prisoner was secured. Several persons then came up and complained that they bad been assaulted by the prisoner and thrown down. A female was injured by the prisoner, and a jug of beer knocked out of her hand. Mr. Yardley—How did he strike you ? Witness—He struck me a severe blow on the chest, and took me off my legs. The prisoner, who resides in Victoria-place, Mile-end, said he was very sorry for what he had done. He was not in the habit of drinking strong spirits. Last night he par took of some gin and shrub, and it affected him seriously. Mr. Yardley—l must send you to gaol for this. The Prisoner (imploringly)—Pray dont, sir; if you send me to prison it will be my utter ruin. Mr. Yardley—l don't want to ruin you, sir. What a state you have brought yourself into by your , drunkenness. I will not ruin you this time, but if you are ever brought before me again, I will send you to prison without the option of paying a fine. I sentence you to pay £3 to the Queen, or be imprisoned 14 days. The Board of Trade returns for the month of Octo ber were issued yesterday.

This was an appeal of a conviction and sentence on an indictment for perjury on a petition in the Insolvent Debtors' Court, in which the petitioner falsely deponed that his trade debts were under £3OO, in terms of the sta tute, to enable him to obtain the benefit of that Court. The defendant pleaded nut guilty in respect-Ist, that the Insolvent Court was not a Court of Record ; and, 2d, that the locus (Ithaca was not sufficiently set forth in the indictment.

LLOYD AND CHICHESTER-EXTRAORDINARY CASIL The marriage took place at Paddington on the Ist of May, 1863. The petitioner was a captain in the army, and the respondent a daughter of Mr. Cheese, of Kington, in Here- _ . fordshire. Captain Lloyd having fallen into pecuniary diffi culties, was in 1856 arrested and confined in the Queen's Bench Prison. Here he was visited by his wife, and here it was stated that her intimacy with the co-respondent, Mr. George Augustus Hamilton Chichester, commenced. It was followed by their cohabitation, and by the birth of two children, in addition to two which Mrs. Lloyd had had by her husband. Mr. Edward Thomas Isaacson, who described himself as an agent, was examined by the Court. He had been in the Queen's Bench Prison with Captain Lloyd, and had dis cussed the subject of his matrimonial affairs. Had after wards entered into communication with the parties and with Mr. Cheese. Had merely done so as a matter of feeling. Would swear that Captain Lloyd did not stipulate that he should have a certain sum before he would sign the peti tion. He had been selected to serve the citation on Mr. Chichester.. Sir C. Cresswell—By whom ? Witness—By Captain Lloyd. Sir C. Cresswell—Not by Mr. Strutt, the attorney ? No. Sir C. Cresswell—Why were you selected ? Because I had beon acquainted with Mr. Chichester for many years. Sir C. Cresswell—And therefore Captain Lloyd selected you for the agreeable task of serving your friend with the citation ? (Laughter.) Examination continued—l went to Paris to serve the cita- tion. I was there about three weeks. I did not find the co respondent for a week. I used afterwards to dine with the respondents. I paid for some of the dinners. They were at their own residence, not at a restaurant. I agreed to ad vanee a certain sum to Mr. Chichester on Mrs. Lloyd's order on her father. That money was to be applied to my own uses. (Laughter.) I was to have half of it, and Mr. Chichester half. On my oath that money was not for the purpose of procuring evidence. Mr. Cheese made his daughter a monthly allowance, and Mr. Chichester wished me to get an order of Mrs. Lloyd for £5O cashed. If I had done so I was to have had half. Sir C. Cresswell—What was that for ? Witness—lt was kindness on Mr. Chichester's part. (Loud laughter.) My bill for going to Paris was £llO. (Sensation.) I went to servo the citation and to collect evi dence. When I dined with Mr.Chich•ster he knew, of course, what evidence I had got, for I had found him in bed with Mrs. Lloyd when I served them with the citation. He said there was another case against him, and he hoped that this would not come on first. (Loud laughter.) Sir C. Cresswoll—Now listen to this item :—" Mr. Isaac son proceeds to Paris for the purpose of obtaining neces sary evidence, according t• the directions of Mr. Cheese, Mr. Cooke, and Mr. Strntt, he having also advanced to Mr. Chichester a sum of money for the purpose of enabling him to effect a certain arrangement by which the chain of evidence would be completed ; and writing a long letter to Mr. Cheese thereon." How did you advance to Mr. Chi. chester "a suns of money to enable him to effect a certain arrangement by which the chain of evidence would be com pleted ?" Witness—l advanced him a sum of money to enable him to come from Dieppe to Paris. Did you advance a ;Urn of money " to enable him to emu plete the ehain of evidence ?"—I did. Did you go to obtain evidence by the directions of Mr. Cheese, Mr. Cooke, and Mr. Strutt P—l went according to the instructions of Mr. Strutt alono. It was by his direction that you went to Mr. Chichester and advanced him a sum of money to comple the chain of evidence f—lt was my own idea. Sir C. Cresswell—You may stand down. The court will require the attendance of Mr. Strutt, Captain Lloyd, an I Mr. Cheese. Mr. IL James, who appeared for the petitioner, said that Mr. Strutt, though he had once been engaged for Captain Lloyd, was now acting hostilely, in consequence of Captain Lloyd's having refused to pay the items the court had read, and which he had disallowed by the taxing officer of the court. Captain Lloyd had now no means of bringing him. Sir C. Creswell—He is now the witness of the court, and must attend. The further hearing of the case was then adjourned. The hearing of the cause was resumed this morning, when the following witnesses were examined by direction of the Court, to ascertain whether there had been any col lusion on the part of the plaintiff to obtain the dissolution of the marriage. Mr. J. Strutt, solicitor, stated that he was employed by Captain Lloyd, the petitioner in the present suit. He was acquainted with Captain Lloyd for years, and had transacted business for him. He did not go on with the suit, and Mr. Jones, of Gray's-inn, Was employed. The bill pro duced was his, and•some of the costs had been taxed. Ho had a communication with Capt. Lloyd's relatives with respect to the expenses of the suit, and suggested that Mr. Cheese, the father-in-law of the petitioner, should advance him £2OO or £3OO, in right of a reversionary interest which he possessed, which money should be applied to the prosecution of this suit for effecting a settlement with his creditors, and for other personal expenses. Mr. Cheese had a conversation with him on the subject of the suit, and he (Mr. Cheese) knew that a portion of the money was to be appropriated to promoting the suit. Mr. Cheese proposed that Captain Lloyd should concur in obtaining a divorce, but he did not recollect that it was suggested that Mr. Cheese should be made the co-respondent. After a short consultation, The Judge Ordinary said the case was a singular one, and under the pawer givon to the Court by the 37th sect., the petition would be dismissed, as .the collusion proved had been too gross and palpable for any Court to overlook.

This was an action to recover a small sum of money, damages sustained in consequence of the reckless driving of one of defendant's servants. Plaintiff is a butcher, and his witness, a whitewasher, said that upon a certain day a table containing meat was in the road in front of the shop— His Honour—lt had no right there. Witness—Yes, it had. Everbody does the same. De fendant's van came up and ran against the table. His Honour—There is no occasion for any more evi dence. By placing his table in the public highway plaintiff has contributed to his own wrongs, and therefore defendant will have a verdict with costs. Witness—Why I suppose, then, if I stood in the road ho might run over me ? His Honour—Go to whitewashing. We won't argue. IMPORTANT CASE UNDER THE MASTER AND APPRENTICE ACT.-SEAGRAVE V. WATKISS. This was an action to recover £4 15s. Plaintiff, who was a builder, said he had brought the action upon public grounds, so that, in cases of apprenticing boys, every one might be warned. The present claim was made up as fol lows :—£2 Bs. for stamps and drawing up indentures, and five weeks' board and lodging of defendant's son, at 10s. per week. Plaintiff had agreed, upon receiving a premium of £5O, to teach defendant's son as per the terms of the in dentures put in. After the indentures were completed, and the boy had been employed for a short time, plaintiff had occasion to call upon defendant, who called him a robber. Plaintiff did not say much about that, but defendant hap pened to repeat the same language in plaintiff's house, and then the boy was removed. As a consequence the inden tures were valueless. Mr. Jay, for defendant, then cross-examined the witness, and elicited that he had filled in the indentures himself, and charged Gs. for so doing. By the terms of an agreement sent by witness to defendant before the apprenticeship, the boy was to be taught the general building and carpentering trades, to have the run of the joiners' shop, and to be in structed in the method of taking out quantities and pre paring estimates.

(From the Tournal of Gas Lighting, P., 11rev. 22, 1859.) The standards which the Treasury were required to provide by the third section of Lord Redesdalc's " Act for regulating measures used in the sales of gas," have been duly deposited in the office of the Comptroller of the Exchequer, No. 6, Old Palace Yard, Westminster. They comprise a weight of 62-3211b5. avoirdupois ; a bottle containing that weight of distilled water at a temperature of 62 deg. Fahr., and a barometric pressure of 30 inches and a King's cubic foot transferrer. The whole have been prepared under the direction of and verified by the Astronomer Royal, assisted by Pro fessor W. Miller, of Cambridge. The weight is of brass, and has made by Mr. L. Oertling, the well known balance-maker, of Store-street, Bedford square. The cubic foot bottle is a copper cylinder with conical ends terminating in tubes, the bottom one being closed by a cork, and the upper one be ing open. Ithas been manufactured by Messrs. Ladd and Co., of the Old Jury, the hydrometer-makers to the Excise ; and the cube feet transferrer has been made by Messrs. Crosley and Co., of the Southwark Bridge-road. It does not appear to be considered necessary at present to prepare any standard multi ples of decimals of the cubic foot measure, but gas companies and others can have the indices of their own testing gasholders adjusted to the Exchequer standard, or they can procure duplicates of the cubic foot transferrer, and adjust the indices themselves. They may, by adopt ing either of these courses, ascertain at once what meters do and what do not comply with the tests prescribed by the Act, and thus mitigate to some extent the inconveniences t o which the further delay . in the appointment of inspectors under the Act is now subjecting them. 7111 S DAYS MARKETS.

The Mayor paid a graceful compliment to the captain in proposing his health, and referred to his having brought the Leviathan through a sea of troubles into a haven of rest. His wor ship declared his belief that the Great Ship, and others like her, were destined to perform an important part in the military and commercial history of this country. The Mayor purposes giving a series of banquets and balls in order to keep up the renown of Southampton for municipal hospitality. A great number of people continue to visit the Great Eastern daily, many of whom come from a long dis tance for the purpose. THE MURDER AT ASHCOMBE.—The prisoner Serafin Manzano was on Wednesday committed by the magistrates at Hindon, for trial at the next assizes, on the charge of murder, and was on Thursday morning received into Devizes Gaol.

MADAME CELESTE AND HER THE TRICAL CAREER. (From tile Era.) the Roy At the moment wh en thi s l a dy i s a b ou t t o open Royal Lyceum Theatre, it will not be, perhaps, nzal-a-propos to giv e our rea d ers a b r i e f sketch of her artistic career. But we beg to be allowed a few introductory observations. The art dranzatique or dramatic art is a glorious, but a difficult one, and to succeed in it is truly a noble triumph. But the goal can be attained only by incessant study and continuous practice. The dramatic artist who is really worthy of that title may be compared to a soldier while campaigning, who enjoys neither leis . ere nor rest, and who is con demned to be always on the gide/re. The life of a dramatic artist is totally unlike that of other men, for the reason that he is the slave of the public, whom he must am use,move, and excite, nay instruct, utile dulei, whether or no he be himself "in the humour," that is, in the mood so to do ! How often, too, is the dramatic artist compelled by his public character to smoulder within his breast the holiest of family emotions, and to leave behind him at his sorrowing home sonic dear member of his own family stretched upon a sick bed, while public duty calls him to the theatre, " to fret and strut his hour upon the stage," in order to amuse and instruct his many-headed master, the public ! Honcur, then, to those who become great and illustrious in a pro fession which is attended by so much caprice, by so many dangers, and which, if it brings with it joys and rejoicings, also brines with it tears and la mentings! But, into mardias res. Madame Celeste was born in Paris, in the year 1814, en the 6th cf August. From a very early age she seemed to predict by her precocity what she would one day become. While still very young she wasa o d f n emnittesie, das a pupil into th e R oya l Aca demywhere she attained such rapid proficiency that when she had only completed her fif teenth summer she was offered an engagement in America, which she accepted, and where she met with the greatest success. During her stay in that country she married an American gentleman, named Elliot, now dead, and by whom she had only one child, a daughter, who is married to Mr. Johnson, of Balti more, one of the partners in the banking-house of Lee and Johnson. In 1830 Madame Celeste bid farewell to the New World, embarked for Europe at New Orleans, and arrived at Liverpool, where she played Fenella, in " Masaniello," then in great vogue, at the Theatre Royal. The play-going public of England soon applauded her for her grace, her gentillesse, her vivacity, and her artistic shrewdness, and, finally, for the innate talent which was then, as it were, in its bud, but which was to bloom forth so remarkably in after years ; yet, strange to say, she was at that time totally ignorant of the English language ! From Liverpool she was en gaged at the Theatres Royal, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Dublin (the latter being the stepping-stone to London), and at which theatre she accepted an en gagement for Drury-lane where she appeared in the ballet, but although her peculiar style of talent was fully appreciated, her appearance at " Old Drury" was not a de9ided " hit," and she accepted an en gagement at the Queen's Theatre, where she made her first appearance in " The French Spy," and from whence her fame speedily blew loud and far, so that at the end of the season she took rank amongst the first-class actresses of the day. She now became the " star," of the minor theatres, her specialite being drama, melodrama, and pantomime. Who . that remembers the:Surrey, the Cobourg, and the Strand, as those theatres were then, cannot have forgotten the lengthened accounts which ap peared in the public press all the year round of the crowded audiences" (no puff) who besieged the doors of those theatres on each night when Madame Celeste was to appear in any one of her special roles. To poor old Davidge, of the Cobourg, now the Royal Victoria, she was a " god- sen d" "Chancel lor of the Exchequer" each time she played for him, thus making up for the deficit in his " trea sury" on her "off nights." Nob , it was that, in consideration of her self-earned reputation, the mana gers, the " potent signors" of the metropolitan Theatres Royal, enrolled Madame Celeste as a mem ber of the regular dramatic corps, despite her French origin and her imperfect knowledge of the English language. Gracias Donzines ! Yet, hold, one moment, s'it rous plait, you could not do other wise, for that election was the general desire of the gros bonnets or big wigs of the profession and of the . public in general. In 1832 Madame Celeste re-visited her native country, and from Paris she started on a tour through Germany. On her return to England her first engagement was at Dublin, when the critics of all shades unanimously declared her to be inimitable in her peculiar characters. From Dublin she was invited to Edinburgh, where she completed a long engagement under the late Mr. Murray; but such a popular favourite had she become, that, at the request of the public, he was obliged to renew her engagement for a still longer term. In March, 1833, Madame Celeste appeared again at Drury-lane in a grand ballet entitled " The Maid of Cashmere," and the same public whose reception of her some three years before had so nearly proved fatal to her, now received her with cheering approbation. Her engagement at Old. Drury being ended, she paid a second visit to Ame rica, and such was the enthusiasm she excited that in the short space of three years she realised forty thousand pounds ! We cannot form an idea of the reception she met with from our Transatlantic re latives. Everywhere she passed the troops pre sented arms, the people hurrahed and cheered lustily and lengthily, particularly so on the day she was proclaimed within and without the Senate House " a Free Citizen of the United States of America." For more than a week before her arrival at Kentucky every place and corner in the large theatre were booked for at competitive prices ; and at Washington the late General Jackson presented . her to the ministry for her to receive the congra tulations of his colleagues, the members of the Government, on her election as au American citizen. Feted, idolised, covered with lanrels and presents, loaded with dollars, and, we scarce need say, universally regretted, Madame Celeste returned to this, her adopted country, and on Oct, 7, 1837, she made a third grand appearance at Drury Lane in " The Child of the Wreck," and, although she only played a dumb character in the piece, she so fascinated the audience by her acting, so easy, so natural, and so full of grace, that her success was at once decided, and the piece had a run of nearly forty nights, which at that time of mush room-growth novelties was considered to be a very long and prosperous run. Since that time Madame Celeste has occupied on the British stage the high rank due to her merit. She may be justly classed amongst those privileged artists who triumph in every role committed to their delineating. It was from that time, at the Hiy market and the Adelphi, that the public used to go and applaud her truthful pourtrayings, when pro vincial managers allowed her a stay in the metro poelnji s . a m nv In lehtone of s her er in h provincial temanagement of he Mr. B Theatre Royal, Liverpool ; and in the autumn o 1844 she returned to the Adelphi, where she re mained as the leading star and efficient directress, till that theatre's days being numbered it was taken down and rebuilt. " Green Bushes" brought out Madame Celeste in a class of character till then unknown on the English stage, and the poor Indian girl Miami, as played by her, has left an impres sion on the public mind which will not be effaced for a long time to come. When the old Adelphi closed, Madame Celeste, accompanied by Mr. B. Webster and others of the Adelphi company, went upon a prolonged provin cial tour, during which laurels and golden honours were awarded her for her labours ; while admira tion and applause followed in her wake from place to place. When the new Adelphi opened she was not, for particular reasons, one of the company, so she repaired to her native country, there to recruit a goodstock of health, to enable her to enter alone upon a second campaign throughout a great part of the kingdom, which she has just com pl e t e d, leaving everywhere behind her lasting impressions and pleasing•souvenirs of her fine matured talent. Amongst the many roles created by this lady we have Janet Pride, Miami, Marie Dugange, Eulalie, Elmire, in " Tartuffe"—and, reader, would you believe it ? Harlequin ! Aye, aye, Harlequid ! She was the first actress who ever personified Har lequin on the British stage, and all who saw her in that motley-costumed character admit that they never saw so gracieux, so gentil, and so nimble a Harlequin as the versatile Parisienne. In drawing this brief biographical sketch to a close, we must inform ourri aders whoknow Midame Celeste only on the stage, that off it she is one of the most amiable, the most generous of ladies, and an ornament to her profession. May success attend her new enterprise at the Royal Lyceum is our sin cere wish! AMATEUR PERFORMANCES AT WINDSOR.-011 Wednesday and yesterday evening the officers of the House hold Brigade performed at the Windsor Theatre, in aid of the Windsor Royal Dispensary.

Seymour Egerton, and both actors and musicians acquitted them. selves in a highly creditable manner. The able assistance rendered by the Misses Marston, Ternan, and Batson was duly appreciated, and at the conclusion of each piece there was well-merited and gratifying applause. Among the company present yesterday evening were Colonel Seymour, Colonel Biddulph, Sir Charles Phipps, Mr. William Van sittart, M.P., Sir - William Wallace, Lord Mahon, Colonel Vyse and family, Sir Thomas Wiltshire, Sir Wm.
