TILE EASTER DINNER AT THE 31,1217- SION HOUSE. Last night the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress gave the customary Easter dinner in the Egyptian hall of the Mansion-house. Among the guests, who Were upwards of 300 in number, were H.R.H. the Duke of Cambridge and Miss Carter, his Highness Princess Ghelan Mahomed, his Highness Prince Perm Shah, the Lord Bishop of Glocester and Bestol and Miss Maria Carter, the Right Hon. &tart and Mrs. Wortley, Lieut.-Gen. Sir George Pollock, 0.0.13., and Lady Pollock, Lieut.-Gen. Sir P. Sir J- Liddell, Major-Gen. Tremenh i er , e, l Major-Gen. Boileau, Vice-Admiral Walcott, )1. and Mrs. Walcott, Col. ltipon, Col. and Mrs. I on nelly, Col. Sykes, M.P., Col. Willoughby, Capt. Man ;les, M.P., Capt. Moncrieff, Capt. Lynch, C. 8., Capt Valiance, Mr. Carden, Alderman Sir J. Duke, M.P &c. Lcced J. Russell had been invited, but was unable to be , present. Tito loving cup having circulated, the usual loyal toast: were ;given from the chair, and cordially re spomoled to by the company. The. LORD MaYor then proposed " The Army and Navy," pointing out the manner in which the wealfth and commerce of that city must always de pend on those services for their security. Ilis Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, o on rising was received with loud cheers, said, _m v Lord Mayor, ladies, and gentlemen, I beg to acknowledge the compliment which you have been pleased to ply the British Army. I always regard it as a high privilege to be permitted to respond to this toast, and, although I have the honour to be at the head of that army, I trust it will not be deemed unbecoming in me to say that, notwithstanding we arc not reputed to be a military nation, I flatter myself there is no army in Europe which, when callNl into action, can beat us in any respect. (Cheers.) It is the fashion rather to decry this country as a military Power; but the nation has always done the army the justice to admit that, wh:r°n summoned to show what it can do in the field, it has always come up to its expectations. (Cheers.) That is the state of the service at the pre sent day; and I hope it will long continue so. The notice taken of the army on occasions like the pre sent tends in a great measure to I .;:eep up that high sphit without vihich it cannot be efacient. Believe lee, tied the tieuiie et: tieecu in (leant lends luuL: ere - eiete- tliey 'I Le theti—e vades all ranks is, " What will they think of us at borne?'" and the public acknowledgment Ns hich their efforts receive from their countrymen produce a most beneficial effect on all branches of the ser vit (Hear, hear.) Although most of those whom I Live the honour of addressing are not immediately connected with the army, I am persuaded you all agree with the remark of the Lord Mayor, that the mites of this great and influential empire are, in a gtuat measure, owing to the army and navy. For if it were not for the security in which you all live and pursue your daily avocations—if it were not for the safety in which you individually and collectively feel that your ships and your trade can go to every part of the globe, this great empire and its commerce could not thrive as they now do, and as they have done for a lengthened period. (Cheers.) We all, of course, wish that that security may for ever continue. Believe me, gentlemen, its continuance depends very much on yourselves. (Hear.) If the liberality hitherto shown in sup porting the army and navy is still displayed, you may rest in security both now, anti, 4: trust, for moay ages to come. But you mast not shut your eyes to the fact that grzat efforts arc ncce3sary to attain this result. You cannot relax your exertions without to a certain extent deteriorating your na tiatcnal position. Nobody in this country, lam convinced, can wish to see any declension in that position. This is, I believe, a great and glorious et (wire, at the head of the civilised world. We give the tone to civilised society in every part of the globe. That is a position which a great nation ought to strive to maintain. May you ever main tain it. Viewing the army and navy in this light, I itrust you will never allow their efficiency to be impaired. No doubt it is a very expensive thing to keep up those services; but that is the effect of the very improvements which are taking place from day to day. The scientific advancement in all departments call for a greater outlay than used to be requisite. That is a natural consequence of the march of intellect in modern times. Why, the very means of locomotion, the facility with which you can move vessels and troops, our railways and our steamships—all these advantages, which none can appreciate mere fully than the merchants and citi zens of this metropolis, tend greatly to alter our position relatively to the rest of the world. There fore, although in former times, owing to our in sular position, we were very secure in our daily life and occupations, we cannot disguise from our selves the fact that the improved modes of com munication now existing have called for greater vigour in all our defensive preparations. (Hear, hear.) All that we desire—all that, I am confi dent, the country desires—is to be placed in a pro per state of defence. Nothing can be more objec tionable, nothing can be more lamentable, than a constant succession of panics. Believe me, these panics are the most costly things that can hap pen. (Hear, hear.) The extravagance which ensues from them it is impossible to estimate. A wise and judicious annual expenditure is far less burden some and much more effective for its object. I trust I shall be forgiven for making these observations, but they involve matters which ought to be gene rally known. (Cheers.) I cannot sit down with out expressing my sense of the admirable spirit evinced by the country in the recent volunteer movement. (Hear, hear.) I have said before that if that movement is well and judiciously organised I believe it will be found most valuable. But much —indeed everything—depends on the manner in which it is conducted. If it is conducted as a great auxiliary to the army and navy, nothing can be more advantageous to the general interests of tie country. If, on the other hand, it is intended to displace those services, the result will be most un fortunate. As an adjunct to the regular forces, however, these volunteer corps are capable of ren dering good service to the State. (Cheers.) His Royal Highness concluded by again returning thanks for the army. Admiral WaLcorr, M.P., responded on behalf of the navy, paying a high tribute of praise to the gallantry displayed by both officers and men in the untoward affair of the Peiho. The Duke of CAMERIDG E then proposed "The Health of tie Lord Mayor," at the same time ac knowledging the princely hospitality shown by his lordship that evening to his ()nests. The LOR D Mevoei Lords," thanks, and th en gave " The Ho use of rd s,” for whi c h th e Bi s h op of Glocester re s p on d ed ' . • The next toast was ‘, The House of Commons,". which was acknowledged by Mr. W. S. Lindsay, " Prosperity to the T ra d e and Com merce of the City of London" was also drunk. Mr. GEORGE F. YOUNG. - returned thanks. shipping interest, whose prosperity was so intimately interwoven with the question of national defence, had been scandalously neglected. He hailed, however, as the dawning of better times the acidness to the Crown recently adopted by the House of Commons in favour of a treaty of-kavigation between England and France. - The remaining toasts were of a purely compli mentary nature. TIIE AUSTRALIAN MAIL SERVICE.—The propost . tion of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navivation Company to alter the route of the mail steamrirs from Mau ritius to Gallo, and to give a fortnightly service for an ad • . ditional £25 c 000 a year, has not met with a favourable r‘:- (A . ption in Sydney.

ROYAL ACADEMY EXIIIBITIOI'I. As the day for the opening of the exhibition is now close at hand, a few remarks respecting the works on which some of our most eminent artists are at present, or have been recently, en,aged may not be deemed inopportune. Sir E. Landseers's final determinaCv n as to what picture he will exhibit is always ui ertain up to the last moment ; but it is believed that the large canvas, descriptive of a flood in Morayshire carrying down cattle, upon which he has been engaged for a considerable time, will be his principal work. Mr. Maclise has two considerable pictures finished, or awaiting only their last touches ; but it is doubtful whether he will allow either of them to be hung in the forthcoming exhibition. Mr. Elmore will exhibit the grand historical work upon which he has been nearly two years labouring, entitled "The Tuileries on the 29th of July, 1792,7 in which Marie Antoinette, the Countess de Larnballe, the Dauphin, Mademoiselle, and the canaille of Paris, are seen as recorded on that memorable occasion. The subject has been treated with extreme attention to historic details, and it is a fine representation of human emotions, at once pathetic and terrible. Mr. Philip's chVcrrrirere is " The Marriage of the Princess Royal," and in the opinion of his brother artists it is pronounced to be a superb composition. Indeed, it is .said that nothinc , equal to it has been produced since Leslie's noble work, the "Taking of the Sacrament." It is of course fall of portraits, and is painted with the artist's greatest care and finish. Mr. Frith has taken that celebrated knight of the road, Claude Duval, for his hero, and the inci dent chosen for illustration is when the gallant h:ghwayman, after having stopped a lady's carriage, and robbed the fair occupant of £4OO, only takes a portion, leaving her the rest, on condition that she will honour him with her hand in a dance----a polite invitation, made with such grace that it is irre sistible. Claude and the lady are the impersona tions of gallantry and beauty, and • the whole scene is animated and strikingly characteristic of the manners and customs of the time represented. This picture displays all Mr. Frith's peculiar (pall ties, and, if it be not as popular as "The Derby Day." it will be permanently esteemed for its vigor ous handling and admirable effect. Hr. 1 -‘lulrLatly has in a forward btato " The Toy LILA.," fouLdLd on LL - L , L7..tc.L. in the t_;1114111: - .c., cL,lleetien, but it .L. til...c...ttain \,11;.,th..r he •;1,11 c.- hihit it this year. • Mr. Egg has taken that lively action in "The Taming of the Shrew" in which Petruchio turns the tables in his country mansion upside down, abuses his servants, quarrels with his mutton, and knocks trenchers, cups, and all about. The leg of mutton on the fork is decidedly objectionable, both for size, shape, and quality ; but it is a pre-Raffaclite leg, and therefore not amenable to modern criticism. Mr. Grant has " The Lord Mayor of York" and a large equestrian portrait, both calculated to add to his reputation and to attract general interest. Mr. Joy has a charming composition, entitled " Moss Roses," which is declared by the raternity —not always the most gentle of critics—to be one of the best pictures of the kind he has exhibited. He has also two portraits likely to create a sensation in the beau monde—one of the Lady John Somer set and the other of a lady about whom there is a royal mystery and romance ; but who is beautiful exceedingly, and who cannot fail to be a popular favourite. Mr. Chalon has a fal-length of a lady sittlng for Ler portrait in the artist's Ltudio which shows to advantage this veteran's style and power. Mr. David Roberts' chief work is " A View of the Facade of St. Mark at Venice," remarkable for architectural details, and the animated view of an Austrian regiment crossing the piazza. Mr. Henry O'Neil bas imagined an incident similar to what occurred on board Royal Charter. A sailor offers to go ashore with a rope, as a forlorn hope, when all other chances of escape for the pas sengers of a. foundering ship 'seem lost. " The Volunteer" is the name of this picture. Mr. Millais's subject is the parting of a black Brunswicker from his sweetheart on the eve of the battle of Waterloo, and the story is told and the work wrought in his usual manner.—Morning Paper. NEW ARMY MEDICAL SCHOOL. The Senate of this school met for the first time on Saturday last at the War-office, Pall-mall, and was formally constituted by the Secretary of State for War, under whose administration the school has a distinct and independent existence. The govern ment of the school is ♦ested in its Senate, which will hold its meetings for the dispatch of business at least once a month, or oftener if necessary. At this meeting there were present :—The Right Hon, S. Herbert, Secretary of State for War, and the following members of Senate, namely :—Jas. B. Gibson, Esq., M.D:, C. 8., Director-General of the Army Medical Department, and President of the Senate; J. R. Martin, Esq., F.R.S., Examining Physician to the Secretary of State for India in Council ; J. R. Taylor, Esq., C. 8., Inspector-Gene ral of Hospitals and Principal 'Medical Officer at Fort Pitt, Chatham ; Chas. Morehead, Esq., M D., Professor of Military Medicine and of Clinical Medicine ; Thos. Longmore, Esq., Deputy-Inspec tor-General of Hospitals, and Professor of Military Surgery and of Clinical Surgery ; E. A. Parkes, Esq., M.D., Professor of Hygiene ; W. Aitken, Esq., M.D., Professor of Pathology. To these gentlemen are entrusted the regulation of the business of the school ; but no act of the Senate is binding till it has received the approval of the Sec retary of State for War. Ire are glad to see, from the organisation of the school, that its functions do not supersede, nor in any way take the place of, the instruction given at the medical colleges and schools of the country. The instruction to be given at the Army School is of a practical kind, and exclusively directed to the spe cialities of the military medical service. The Invalid Hospital at Fort Pitt, the garrison and other military hospitals at Chatham, afford a very large and important field of study for the young medical officer of the army. It is intended that this field of medical observation shall be fully taken advantage of; and the four professors already named have been appointed to direct and superin tend the courses and methods of practical investiga tion which have been deemed the most essential for the requirements of the army medical service. The professional reputation of the gentlemen who have been appointed professors to the school is a sufficient guarantee for the ability, energy, and skill with which the work of instruction will be directed ; and which at the same time leads us to entertain the hope that the be'st results may be ex pected from the institution of this school. Dr. Morehead has spent a long period of his life in India, and has been a most successful clinical teacheri in the G ran t M e di ca l C o ll ege of Bombay. He e has earned for himself a most excellent reputa tion by his writings, and especially by his " Clini cal Rese arc h es on the Diseases of India ;" a work which was published at the request of 'the then Indian Government, and die is the text-book followed modified by the clim f at n e t by all o ur arm Mr. Longinore guide for the tr y eat m l:e t o a nt l . rl o n ffi d i c a e . rs who require a • meat, was a student' disease . as they find it o of the Army Medical Depart pupil of the-late I G . at u e 3 Sir's il A o s s t p l i e t; r l C , and oo i la.. liehas signalised dis tinguished g h i i e m al se sk l e f il ln the Army Medical Ser viceisstsruartion of the as welt as by his success ful ihni a administration wilds of Bulgaria, and the military l hospitals in the and still more recently, he hPasaidnis of the Crimea; 1 self as a sanitary officer in India during'tinpish him ' and trying campaigns in that vast the recent empire.

It is well known how successfully he accomplished his task ; and how admirable all those hygienic arrangements were devised and car ried out in the beautiful hospital huts of Renkioi, on the Dardanelles. Dr. Aitken is well known as a pathologist and as a teacher. lie was a teacher of anatomy in the University of Glasgow for six years, and patholo gist at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary; and he too received an appointment from the Secretary for War as a commissioner in pathology, to proceed to the seat of war in the East to investigate the nature of the diseases from which our troops were suffering in the hospitals at Scutari. It is known how he executed his difficult task. He is also the author of numerous papers on pathology, and on other topics in the science of medicine, as well as of a valuable and skilfully arranged hand-book of the science of medicine, which is recommended as a text-book by the professors of medicine in the universities or Oxford and London, and is used in many other me dical schools. We believe that these appointments will be uni versally approved by the great bulk of the medical profession, a n d t rus t th a t th e N ew Ai my Medical School will fully realise the best wishes of those who have labourod through good and bad report to accomplish its fuundation.—Medical Tithes. • [Anvia tTtsEmENT.]-31r.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, April 9. The April Quarter Sessions commenced this morn ing at the Guildhall, Westminster, before Mr. Bod kin, Assistant-Judge, Mr. Payne, deputy, and the following full bench of magistrates :—Mr. H. H. Harwood, the Baron de Bliss, Mr. Stilwell, Mr. D. Fletcher, Sir C. D. Crossley, Mr. Parbury, Mr. Marshall, Mr. Jennings, Mr. Rankine, Mr. Beet ham, Mr. Baylis, Mr, Bashford, Mr. Hogarth, Mr. Burslem, Mr. Healey, and Mr. Fanleoner. The calendar contains the names of no fewer thiin 114 prisoners, of whom 99 aro committed for felony, and 15 for misdemeanour. The Assistant-Judge delivered the charge to the grand jury. George King, 16, and Samuel Barnes, 15, were convicted of stealing a card of rings, the property of Jas. Peacock, from a case in which they were ex posed for sale in front of a shop in New Oxford street. Foulsham, the officer of the Westminster prison, said these boys, though so young, had been repeat edly convicted. There were six convictions against King and four against Barnes. The Assistant-Judge sentenced each of the pri soners to two years' hard labour, and said they would be recommended to Parkhurst. Edward Farrell,lB, and Dennis Kennedy,l4, were convicted of stealing a handkerchief from a gentle man at Temple-bar. Foulsham stated that there were 13 previous convictions against Farrell, who, without exception, was the worst boy they ever had to deal with in Westminster prison, and one against Kennedy. The mother of the latter said she had five sons, and none of them had ever been in prison at all. Foulslnixi said that was a very false assertion, as the boy Kennedy and a brother were in prison at the same time for attempting to pick pockets. The Assistant-Judge sentenced Farrell to sit years' penal servitude, and Kennedy to three years at the reformatory for this county at Feltham. William Taylor, 22, was indicted for stealing a coat in the dwelling house of William Dawsey Belby. The door of the house being left open for a mo mant after the prosecutor got home the prisoner walked itto the im,sEage and put on a coat which Mr. Baby had jaA Lktu eit and hung up. lie ob:rvcd Audi au upp,cr v,iltdo),7 to leave the ilJut ilotll L un hila to piAke L.ppi LLI company with another who was a known thief, while they were being watched going about from house to house in an outlying district trying parlour windows. _ . The prisoner was found guilty, and a conviction for highway robbery was put in against him. The Court sentenced him to three years' penal servitude. Charles Hansford, 18, and Frederick Barnes, 23, were indicted—Hansford for staling, and the other for feloniously receiving a quantity a beef, the pro perty of Messrs. Cover, butchers, of St. James's street, the employers of the first-named prisoner. Mo. Cooper appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Sleigh defended Hansford. The meat was taker. by Hansford and concealed in a cart-house, and Barnes, who had been mixed up in the transaction, was charged with receiving it with a guilty knowledge, but the jury acquitted him; Hansford was found guilty, and sentenced to nine months'_ hard labour. Thomas yborn, 26, was indicted for stealing a quantity of boots and shoes, value £4O, the pro perty of J. Hodges, his master. He pleaded guilty. Mr. Cooper appeared on his behalf. The prosecu tor carried on business as a boot and shoe manufac turer, & c , in Tottenham-court-road, and there was reason , to believe that the prisoner, who had been in his service between six and seven years, had been plundering hith during the greater part of that time; .£4O worth of property was found in his bed room by the policeman in the case, Lambert 68 E. The Assistant-Judge said it was a very bad case, and the Court must pass a sentence that would ope rate as a warning to servants that, however long and successfully they may rob their employers, de tection will follow and punishment fall upon them. The sentence upon him was 18 months' hard labour. A watch which prisoner purchased some months ago was given up to the prosecutor by order of the Court. Thomas Martin, 28, groom, was indicted for fraudulently obtaining four brushes from Thomas Burman, with intent to defraud. The prisoner had been a helper in Lord Campbell's stables at Stratheden-hose, and after he had left that service he went and obtained these brushes, representing that he was still employed at the Lord Chancellor's stables, and that the brushes were for use there. The prisoner admitted the offence, but urged that he had done it through trouble and distress. The Court said, under the circumstances a ♦ery lenient sentence would answer the ends of justice, and sentenced the prisoner to two months' hard labour. Fred. Frazer, 27, was indicted for having stolen two coats, ♦alue £3, the property of John Hodges. Mr. M'Donnell was counsel for the proiecution ; Mr. Sleigh defended the prisoner. - There were some very curious circumstances in tit's case. There was no doubt that on the 26th of November last two coats were stolen from 1, How ley-villas, Paddington, and that the two coats now produced were the same. On the Bth of March the prisoner was taken into custody with another man on a different charge, and in his possession the officer, Sergeant Boden, 11 D, who took him, found these two coats, which he had that very day redeemed, and which he pawned the very day they were stolen at Mr. Dobree's in Gilbert -street, Ox ford-street. He was therefore charged with having stolen them, and the defence was that on the day of the robbery the prisoner was out with his bro ther, who is an actor, distributing bills for a benefit for the latter, when they called at a wardrobe shop in Devonshire-street, Lisson-grove, kept by a Mrs. Jones, for the purpose of leaving a bill for exhibi tion in each of her windows, when a man came in, and offered to sell her the coats, asking 255. for them. Mrs. Jones did not purchase them, as she could not then spare the money, and the prisoner, thinking he could catch a bargain, offered to buy them, and ultimately the stranger agreed to take 21s. for them, and being short of money himself, the prisoner went • and pawned •them, and thus by an extraordinary coincidente he redeemed them on the very night he was taken, and pawned them en the very day they were stolen. Mrs. Jones and the prisoner's brother were exa mined, and they deposed to these facts in the main, but they differed materially in their description of the stranger, and by way of fixing the date Mrs. Jones said she had brought the playbills which were left at her shop by the brothers on that par ticular day, but she had unfortunately lost them while sha had been in attendance at the court; but the brother said he was sure of the date, as his benefit was on the 29th, and this occurred on the preceding Saturday. The jury, after some deliberation, found the pri• soner Guilty. The police-sergeant then stated, in answer to the Court, that he and another officer, White, 310, were induced "to watch the prisoner and another man, from observing them loitering suspiciously about houses in Upper Berkeley-street and Port man-square, and in Seymour-place the prisoner was seen to unlace his boots and go stealthily down an area, the other man keeping watch. In a few minutes the prisoner rushed up the steps, he taking one side of the street and his companion the other, the officers in pursuit. On the prisoner being taken he said he had only been to see a girl who lived there, Emily Dorman, and the sergeant said, " Well, you can easily prove that, if it be true." The prisoner said, " Well, take me back." " No," said the officer, " you take me back ; show me the hou se; " an d th e p r i soner , h av i ng mis taken the right one, went to three before he came to that w h ere h e had paid his visit. The prisoner said to th e butler, "Now, - didn't I come here and ask fo r Miss Emily Dorman ?

The officer said the woman was a notorious thief. The Assistant Judge said if the prisoner's state ments were true, which it was impossible to believe, it could not have been in consequence of any spite of the police that the prisoner and his brother went to an old clothes shop and bought the coats, nor could it have been for the same reason that he went down the area. Ile concurred in the verdict, but should direct inquiries to be made, and, if the result of these were such as he anticipated, it would be the utmost punishment the law allowed that would be inflicted. As to the defence, ho should consider whether the witnesses should not be prosecuted for perjury. The prisoner said there was no perjury in the case, and he was as innocent as any one in court. — Judgment deferred until next sessions. TIIE PUBLICIIOUSE APPEAL. • The appeals against the refusals of justices to grant or renew publichouse licenses will be taken on Friday next. There are 28 entered for hearing. The ordinary appeals will be taken on Thursday, and the bail cases will be postponed until next ses sions, as at present arranged. immediately, leaving the mounting, which witness refused to give him. The prisoner was remanded for a week. SOUTIIWARK.—Frederick Lawley, a well dressed young man, was charged with stealing about 10s. in silver from James Figg, a conductor of one of the Kingsland omnibuses, at the door of his vehicle, and he was also charged with being concerned with others in stealinga watch from Mr. Frederick Smith, at the same place. Mr. Burcham committed him for trial. Christina Wallace, a middle-aged woman, was brought up for final examination charged with stabbing her husband, James David Wallace, with a table knife, with intent to murder him. Mr. Burcham committed her for trial. LAMBETII.--James Edwards, a young fellow about 20 years of age, was finally examined on a charged of attempting to pick the pocket of Mrs. Elizabeth Fairbin, a widow lady residing in Cam berwell. The prosecutrix: said that on Tuesday last she was walking along the Camberwell-road when the prisoner and another young fellow came up to her and asked their way to the railway station, and she told them she did not know. They then asked their way to the Elephant and Castle, and while pointing it out to them the prisoner, who had a coat thrown over his left arm, pushed close to her on the right side and put his hand into her pocket, but her money was fortunately in another pocket, in her under dress. Mr. Norton observed that robberies of this de scription were becoming so frequent that ladies, the persons on whom they were generally practised, should be very careful in answering strangers in the streets, or, when they did answer, to keep .t a re spectful distance from the persons asking them. lie had no doubt whatever that theprisoner was an expert thief, as stated by the constable, and should therefore commit him to three months' hard labour ' 1 at Wandsworth House of Correction. John Smith, a respectably dressed young man, was finally examined on a charge of attempting to break into and enter the house of Mr. Richard C. l)ougal with intent to carry away the property. The prisoner, who declined saying anything in defcnez, was committed for trial. CI SE OF 1 21; ILE 1 llls. ,[l:7 litatLd thet the eliar;;, piaci red Ly the Rev. Mr. Hatch against a child named Mary Eugenia Plummer stands post poned until thz May session of the Central Criminal Court ; but, as the proceedings connected with it have created a great deal of public interest, it may be as well to state a few further particulars in re lation to this extraordinary case. It will be re membered that Mr. Hatch was convicted at the November session of the Central Criminal Court upon two indictments, charging him with indecent assaults upon Mary Eugenia Plummer, a girl about twelve years, and her sister, Stephanie Augusta, a girl three or four years her junior, and that the jury, after a long deliberation, returned a verdict of guilty upon both charges, and the defendant was thereupon sentenced to two years' imprisonment and hard labour upon each indictment. Under or dinary circumstances the defendant would have been at once sent to the Wandsworth House of Correction, the offence having been committed in the county of Surrey; but, as Mr. Hatch had been for several years the chaplain of that prison, and which office he only resigned upon these charges being made against him, it appears that the Home &cretary considered it would be a painful and unnecessary aggravation of the sentence that he should be sent back to this prison as a criminal, and Mr. Hatch therefore remained in Newgate until the Government had an opportunity of deciding in what place of confinement the sentence should be carried out. The defendant in the meantime, as the public is aware, obtained the consent of Mr. Baron Bramwell, who tried the case, that an indict ment should be preferred for perjury against the elder child, Mary Eugenia Plummer, and this bill was returned a true bill by the grand jury. The allegations of perjury are five in number, and they embrace the whole of the alleged acts of indecency. The witnesses to disprove the evidence of the child are all females except as to one portion of the in dictment, there being only one male witness to be examined, with the exception of the defendant himself. Mrs. Hatch is one of the witnesses ; a little girl, an adopted child, who went by the name of Lucy, and two female servants, appear to be the additional witnesses whose evidence is to support the charge of perjury. The object of Mr. Hatch in instituting these proceedings is t of course, to free himself from the consequences of his convic tion ; but as a good deal of interest has been created upon the question whether a child of such tender years is amenable to the criminal law, it may be as well to state that, up to the age of seven years, a child is not considered to be of competent mind so as to be criminally liable for his conduct, but at that age, if express iralice proved, a child may be legally convicted and sufh,r the penalty of any crime he may have committed ; and there is one sen t tence upon record where a boy, seven years old, was convicted of the murder of another child, and was left for execution, although the sentence was not ultimately carried into effect. Just before the adjournment of the Court the father of the little girl entered into the required recognisance for the appearance of hie dought st the May sessions: By the form of the proceedings, the younger child will be a competent witness to be examined on be half of her sister, and, it is said, that a mass of evi dence will be adduced in answer to the charge, and the case will be placed first on the list for trial be. fore the judges. - - RECENT WILLS AND BEQUESTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.—John Keating, an Irish shoemaker, one half of whose features was obscured by hair, and the other half by dirt, was charged with assaulting Ellen Lawler by stabbing her in the face with a knife. The prosecutrix, the left side of whose face exhibited a huge circular patch of sticking plaster, said, " Plase yer honours, my name's Ellen Lau ler." Mr. Goodman (chief clerk).—And 'what is your husband's name? Prosecutrix.—Pat Bresshanan. (Laughter.) Mr. Goodman.—'Then I suppose your name is Bresshanan Prosecutrix.—Lord, me, yer Honour, my name is Ellen Lawler. (Laughter.) Mr. Goodman.—l tow can that be, if he's your husband? Your maiden name you mean, I suppose, was Lawler Prosecutrix.—Yes, my maiden name, and my name now, for though I call Pat my husband we ain't married; but we've lived together a long while, and he's a good husband, too. Mr. Goodman.—Why did you not say at first that you were not married? Go on with your evidence. Prosecutrix - .—Well, on Saturday night I was sitting at supper with Pa,t, when who should come in but Moggy Qunk ; so, says I, " Sit. down, Mog, and have some supper;" but, yer Honours, she was nasty, and got to words, and at last says she, " If you arc a woman, come down into the yard and have it out." " Very well, Meg," says I, " I'll come down, cos you know I ain't afraid of you ;" and she says, "No, T knows that, I knows you are too good a woman foe me ;" and that's right, yer Honours, bocanw, though I'm a quint 17w:win, I can btiJhh up fur - Inyalf, like a ;oold'an, only thank huit ::UL' autudy.- (Laughtur,) UL auivnt:taira gaiZ:LA, and Nvi wasn't agoing to fight ; but there was a mob at the door, and that there prisoner there made a rush at me, and gave me a job in the mouth with his fist which loosened all my teeth, and then he jobbed at me again with something in his hand, which I took to be a knife, and stabbed me in the face. So I calls out, "Pat," says I, "he's made a hole in my face with a knife, and I'm kilt intirely !" _(laughter)—and then down I went, while Pat clashed out and collared him. The hole ain't quite through my eheek, but it's a whacker, and I hopes your worship will give me purtection. (Laughter.) with does;you Pat Bresslianan said—Wh en th a t man s t a bb e d my wife Mr. Goodman—She says she is not your wife, IVi she is. though t lives e s s h s e sos and an honest woman Sir R. Carden—Why don't you make an honest woman of her ? Witness--I don't mean in that way; but I mean that she's too honest to meddle with anybody'sbusiness. Mr. Goo :limn—She cal' fight well, at all events, according to her own confession. -Witness—She's a regular good'un, yer Honour; she's a rale beauty, and no mistake. Sir R. Carde n —Th en, w h y d on ' t you marry h er ? Witness—W e ll, I will, yer Honour, I will. But about this here prisoner. When I rushed out upon him he struck me, and I'm sure I felt a knife in his hand. Prisoner—My Lord, it wasn't a knife at all, and but for the dri n k t h at was i n my head I s h ou ld n ' t have done it. That woman had been throwing some water over me just before, and when I went out again I took a little poker with me, and I hit her with that. It was a very little one, yer Honour, but sharp at the end. Sir R. Carden—A poker would not have cut like a knife. However, knife or poker, I shall send you to prison for 21 days. Prosecutrix--And, oh ! yer Honour, won't you bind him over to keep the peace towards me ? Sir 11. Carden—The police will protect you. I'd rather bind you over not to live with that man again till you are married. Prosecutrix—And, faith, yer worship, I'd not object to that. Pat Bresshanan—And, yer Honour, I will marry her. I've ofen talked about it, and now I'll do it. They then left the court. MARYLEIONE.—Robert Percival Spencer, aged' 14, in the service of Mrs. Mullins, a widow, residing at 32, Harley-street, Cavendish-square, was charged on suspicion of having stolen a letter containing two £5 Bank of England notes and four sovereigns and a half, the said letter having been delivered at the house, addressed to " Mr. Richard W. Barrington," a lodger. The evidence against the prisoner was of a very slight nature, and he was remanded till Monday next, his father being answerable in the sum of £2O for his being forthcoming on that day. Mary Bushell, in the employ of Mr. %Varen, linendraper, &c., High-street, Camden -town, was charged with having robbed her master of riband, flannel, calico, collars, belts, and other articles, which were found in her possession as she was about quitting her situation on Saturday last. The prisoner was, at the request of Inspector Court, remanded, in order to afford time for the cap ture, if possible, of a younr , man who is strongly suspected of having instigated her to commit the robbery, and also to plunder to a more considerable extent. WESTMINSTER.—WaIter Philp; a respect ably attired young man, was charged with being concerned in a burglary and extensive robbery at the house of Mr. Spiers, 3, Cromwell-lane, Bromp ton. Impector Firman, of the A reserve, attached to the B division, intimated that the prosecutor in this case was at Folkestone, but he (Mr. Firman) had sufficient evidence to procure a remand. lie had present the pawnbroker to whom the prisoner had offered in pledge some of the missing property, and a man who had seen the prisoner near the scene of the burglary but a few minutes before it had oc curred. The inspector was then sworn, and stated that between the hours of nine and ten on the night of Friday week the house of Mr. Spiers was entered through an unoccupied house adjoining. The pad lock on an iron gate which secured the top window/ had been wrenched off, several ladies' dressing cases and a gentleman's dressing-case carried from the dressing-room to the servants' room, and there broken open and rifled of their contents and a quantity of jewels carried away; the value of the stolen property being estimated at at least £l5O. On the Saturday fallowing the robbery information reached him that a portion of the property in a damaged state had been offered in pledge, and wit ness, with Set geant I,ockyer, of the detective force, went yesterday morning, accompanied by the pawn broker (who had been put to considerable trouble in the matter), to a place where it was supposed the prisoner was, and there apprehended him on the pawnbroker identifying him as the man who had offered some of the property in pledge. F. Gad wort, assistant to Mr. G. Attenborough, pawnbroker, of Fleet-street, said that in the after noon of Saturday week the prisoner came into the shop and offered him in pledge 10 diamonds wrapped in a dirty piece of grocer's paper, having, previ ously' to Showing witness the diamonds, put some thing from the paper into his mouth. He said he wanted £22 for the diamonds, and witness seeing they were worth more than he asked—viz., £2B, inquired how he became possessed of them ; he said they were his own property, and witness then in quired whether he was a dealer, to which he at first replied in the negative, but shortly afterwards in the affirmative. Witness then asked him what they weighed. He replied that he did not know, and witness observed it was very strange that a dealer should not know their weight but should set a price upon them ; for which the prisoner endeavoured to account by saying that he only went by what he gave for them. Witness found the stones weighed 31 carats, and he was of opinion the stones came from an enamelled cross, part of which he pro duced, as crosses of that description contained from 10 to 12 such stones. After he had weighed the diamonds he noticed that there were among them two inferior stones not worth above £3 a carat, while the others were worth about £8 a carat. Ile did not at all like the prisoner's replies to his ,various questions, and in order to test the truth of his statement ho took the two in ferior stones away and asked prisoner what he wanted for the other eight, and he allowed as much w s not a a i r i le e temel l r i ltial : ,yit u nct l dh l ial y ea i dtot e en o ri t Ne i v l- ai i ir t ildn e s e g d awn : os i t t hN n ve e rr s: nmg t a l a i n a b t ocu h at e na ses' thea for them IA though they had been good stones, de in with some gold mounting (produced). Witness found this the men he theby the there diamonds was exactly, some e oiv a e n x d i obnting betweens ure sent for a policeman. It was raining very hard at the time, and no policeman could be found, and while one was being sought after the prisoner took up the diamonds from the counter and went away, and the other man followed him THE COMME_RCLIL TREATY 1V1.7'8 FRANCE. The following reply has been returned by the Manchester Chamber of Commerce to a commu nication from the Board of Trade : Manchester Chamber of Commerce, April 2, Sir,—l am desired by the directors of this cham ber to make the following replies to the queries sub mitted to them in your favour of the 24th ult. :- 1. They are of opinion that it would be impracti cable to assess specific duties by weight, with any degree of fairness, on manufactures, yarns, or tex tile fabrics, the production of this district. 2. As to the average prices of each class, the same remark would apply. The great variety pro duced, forced by competition, and the demand of almost every country in the world, leads to such an unlimited assortment of production even in plain fabrics,without referring to the interminable variety of fancy ones, as make it impossible for this cham ber to suggest any fair mode of classification with a view to the imposition of specific duties. 3. It is most desirable that the lowest range of duty should be imposed on our lower-priced pro ductions, for whick the consumption is of course greatest, the competition most severe, and the cost of transit most expensive. In reference to the term upon which the average is proposed to be taken, viz., the six months previous to the ratification of the treaty, I am desired to remark that such ave rage would be manifestly unfair, as being probably 20 per cent, above the average for the last six years. I am farther to inform you that the directors of this chamber, if desired, will be glad to aid the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade by sending a delegate from their own body, or a gentleman practically acquainted with the trade and manufactures of the district. This cham ber would, however, venture to suggest a meeting of representatives from a few of the different centres of industry, viz., Manchester, Glasgow, Leeds, Brad ford, Birmingham, Sheffield, and the Potteries, for the purpose of conferring with the Board of Trade, and practically exhibiting, by samples of their ma nufactures, the difficulties this chamber conceive would attach to any system of specific duties. Such a conference would be the more valuable if it had the power of conferring with Mr. Cobden, or any other commiz:sione r th e B oar d o f T ra d e might think fit to appoint. cwicluLion,lain imtructed to repeat tlio uuani which has already, by this eitaml iav;Air of tire imposition of ad valorem, duties, as being the only fair and satisfactory mode of carrying out the provisions of the treaty.—l have, &c., HUGH FLEMING, Secretary. James Booth, Esq., Secretary, Board of Trade, London. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING—(MoNuAr.)

Gray stood Simple Simon and Springwell for the Northampton Stakes. THE SALMON FISHERIES.—The take of salmon this season in the Cree, Newton-Stewart, which opened on New-year's -day, has been, says the Ayr Advertiser, ex tremely meagre, partly caused, no doubt, by the continuous snow from the hills, which it is well known prevents the fish from ascending the stream, but chiefly, we believe, from the gradually decreasing numbers in Wigton Bay. The Aberdeen Journal says the River Thurso is at present full of fish, and, though the weather is still very backward, the rod fishers have had much success within these few days. On Monday one gentleman killed seven clean salmon, the largest 231 b, the smallest Sib ; and a day or two previous Mr. Dunbar killed eight_ fine fish, the largest 161 b, the smallest 91b. IWiIb'MAN BU7'CIIERY OF TWO lIUNDBED A most cowardly and brutal butchery was enacted on the islands in Humboldt Bay, in the rancherias along Eel river, and on the shore to the south and west of Eureka, in this State, on Sunday morning, Feb. 23. The victims were Indians, including men, women, and children, and the perpetrators a body of white men, who inhabit the surrounding country. It seems that the farmers and stock-owners, having failed to obtain the sanction of Governor Downey to war against the miserable savages, who have been for a long time in a starving condition in con sequence of having been driven from their hunting grounds into the mountains by the white settlers, organised secretly a vigilance committee, and divided their forces into several gangs, who, at . a given hour, were to attack the var i ous I n di an Vil lages, and spare neither a ge , sex , or c on diti on . The design was carried out in a "fearful manner, as the following particulars disclose : At Indian Island, opposite the town of Eureka , and distant but a few hundred yards, more than 10 Indians were killed, three-fourths of the number being women and children. On the beach, south of the entrance to the bay, 40 or 50 Indians were also killed. Repoi t says all that were there—every one —were killed. It is also reported, and it is no doubt true, that a simultaneous attack was made upon the villages on Eel River. From what was known in Eureka, not less than 200 Indians —men, women, and children—were killed on this Sabbath morning. Mr. Van Ness, the she r iff o f H um b o ldt county, who came passenger on the Columbia, confirms the above, and adds the subjoined still more horrid de tails. He says that the butchery on Humboldt Bay was committed by some 40 men who had come from Eel River on horseback. They hitched their animals at the south end of the bay, and seized a boat be longing to Capt. Buhne, the pilot, with which they crossed to the opposite shore, and entered upon their hell-work. Before daylight they had slaughtered every man, woman, and child they could find. They then proceeded to Indian Island, up the bay, and re-enacted the bloody tragedy which they had per formed on the mainland, andreturned to where they had hitched their horses, and rode off. The sheriff estimates the number of Indians slaughtered along the bay at SO, including women and children.

Tie heart sickens at such badness. The mas sacre of Glencoe was excused by the Master of Stair, with some show of plausibility, as a State necessity ; but here the only excuse—and the paltry pusillanimity of it rather adds to the degree of the crime than takes off' in justification of it—was that a few starving Indians, battling to sustain the lives of themselves and wives and children through the rigorous severity of the long winter months, killed a few head of cattle.—Californian Paper.

THE ALPACAS IN AUSTRALIA.—The accounts o d f Mr. Ledger's flock of a lp acas s i nce th e i r remova l inla¢ e are most satisfactory. The lambs born in the colony t e healthy and promising. Every l am b d ro pp e d during t lf journey has been preserved. The flock now numbers near s , 300 animals, comprising, in about equal proportions, W O . O (female only), alpacas (male and female), and lamhp e t i l i s various stages of breeding. A systematic division 0 1 flock is already being made, for the purpose of preven thi ; promiscuous intercourse, and also of eradicating all trac e r , of the llama in the production of the pure alpaca. Th e e ge perience of the introduction of the alpaca into Aust.'ll_ has hitherto been very encouraging, and, with precautt,T; there will be no doubt before long a large increase in r . flock. TWo bales of alpaca wool, the produce of Ledger's flock, have been shipped by the Governmen t i° sale in London.—Australians and .IYetv Zealand Gazette. BIRTHS.
