" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long profes,siohal life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the vaeous kind's of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject o stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. lat, 1858.

THE NAVY. Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Maitland, C. 8., has been appointed Commander-in-Chief in the Pacific, vice Rear-Admiral Baynes, whose period of service has expired. The screw steam frigate Euryalus, 51, Captain John W. Tarleton, bound to Madeira and the Cape of Good Hope, which put into Plymouth Sound on Sunday morning with machinery damaged, has been supplied with a piston slide from the 'engines of the St. George, and yesterday (Monday) morning made an experimental trip outside the Breakwater, and returned about noon. She is again ready for sea. At half-past 12 his Royal Highness Prince Alfred left the Euryalus in the gunboat Clinker, which conveyed him to the Dcvonport Dockyard, where the Prince had luncheon with Rear-Admiral Superintendent Sir Thomas Pasley, after which it was intended that he should inspect the arsenal and the steamworks at Keyham yard, and then proceed to Mount Edgeumbe. The frigate had the blue peter up at noon to call the liberty -men on board, and the steam tender Pike was waiting for them at Mutton-cove. The Victoria, 121, screw three-decker, got up steam in Portsmouth harbour yesterday morning, and proceeded outside for the purpose of testing her speed at the measured mile in Stokes Bay. The ship first made a stretch as far out as the Nab light vessel, the wind being rather fresh from the S.S.E., and hopes were expressed that as the sun rose it would lull the breeze. On passing the Nab the Victoria's head was brought round for She west ward, and the huge vessel, without masts, spars, or rigging, and showing nothing above her hull except her two funnels placed fore and aft, pro ceeded for the trial ground at Stokes Bay. The wind, contrary to expectation, kept up, and by the time the second run had been made had very considerably increased, when it was decided by the authorities on board to defer the trial until the next spring tides. The mean of the two runs gave the ship a speed of rather over 13 knots, with a mean of CO revolutions of engines and 211 b. pres sure of steam. As the ship has little on board her beyond her engines and boilers, &c., and conse quently draws only 171%. 7in. of water forward and 23ft. 1 lin. aft, 13 knots, although gained under the adverse circumstances of a force of wind beyond the limit assigned by the authorities, can give no correct data by which to judge of the real speed of the ship when she has all her weights on board and fitted for sea. At the present draught of water, however, and under favourable circumstances, at the measured mile, on her next trip she gives pro mise of showing a high rate of speed. The ship herself is a noble specimen of naval architecture. The ponderous machinery on board, which was under the control of Mr. Warrener, of the firm of Messrs, Maudslay, Sons, and Field, the contractors, worked beautifully throughout, and the boilers furnished an unlimited supply of steam, The Vic toria returned into the harbour during the after noon, and again made fast alongside the Victorious hulk, off the north corner of the dockyard. The Perseverance screw troopship, Commander E. Power, has been placed in No. 8 Dock at Ports mouth for examivation and repairs. It is expected that she will receive new boilers. The Medea, 6, paddle, and Stromboli, 6, paddle, at Portsmouth, have both been taken into the steam basin to receive their machinery. The screw line-of-battle ship Trafalgar, 90, Capt. Edward G. Fanshawe, and the Centurion, 80, Capt. George E. Patey, arrived on Saturday afternoon at Portland, from the westward. The screw steam frigate Diadem, 32, Capt. James 11. Cockburn, arrived in the evening. The Donegal, 101, was hourly expected. The ships now in harbour are the Conqueror, 101 ; Aboukir, 91 ; Trafalgar, 91; Centurion, 80; Blenheim, 60; and the Diadem, 32. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—T. J. S weeny, 2d class assist.- engineer, to the Ranger; Samuel Windley, 2d class assist.-engineer, to the Rhadamanthus ; E. Gossage, acting 3d class assist.-engineer, to the Fisgard, as supernumerary ; H. F. Stougnell, acting 3d class assist-engineer, to the Asia, as supernumerary; Dr. T.

Dawson, assist.-paymaster of the Bacchante, to be The authorities in command at Chatham have de cided on placing several hundred of the trnops at that garrison under canvass during the present sutnmer, the experience of former years having shown that the men encamped are far more healthy, and the percentage of sick mach less, .than when the troops are living and sleeping in their close and crowded barrack rooms. The encampment for the men of the Ist and 2d depot battalions will be formed within the fortifications of the Spur Bat tery, near fort Amherst, where a number of large and commodious tents wereyesterday erected. These will be occupied by the depots now quartered at Chatham barracks. The tents for the 3d depot battalion will be pitched near Prince Edward's bas tion, adjoining the Hut barracks. According to present arrangements, the troops will go under canvass on the 15th instant should the weather be favourable, when the troops of the line now quar tered at Brompton barracks will remove to Chat ham barracks, in order that the former barracks may be occupied exclusively- by the Royal Engi ; fleets and Royal Artillery, a mounted battery of which, numbering five officers and 240 men, will be sent to Brompton immediately accommodation can be provided for them. Captain J. E. Cornea, R.E., has succeeded Capt. G. Langley, in the command of the newly-foimed first depot company of Royal Engineers at Bromp ton barracks, the latter officer having proceeded to Aldershott to join the 18th company of Royal En gineers, recently arrived from Weymouth, where they were employed in erecting coast defences. THE INDIGO RIOTS IN INDIA. A letter from Calcutta, dated March 31, says,— These indigo riots threaten consequences so serious that your readers may be obliged to me for a short sketch of the causes which have produced them. Almost the whole of Bengal, as you are aware, is in the hands of a limited number of landowners, whose estates vary from 5,000 square miles—the Dinagepore zemindaree is more than that—to 50. These zemindars aro not, however, landlords in the English sense, for their tenants are equally with themselves proprietors. The mass of them cannot be turned out while they pay their rent, Accord ingly, the speculator who wants to grow indigo, in stead of buying land and hiring labour, as he would in Europe, buys the right to these rents. Some times he buys out the iemindar altogether. This has been done in Tirhoot, and, owing to this and some other causes, the European landlords and their peasantry are in that district in accord. No clubmen •are employed, and the' landowners can turn out their people to assist the police. In other cases the planters only hold of the zemindars. This is the case at Krishnaghur, where the Europeans own three-fifths of the soil, but still do not hold di rectly of the Crown. The indirect influence of the zemindar. stillremains very great. Having no labour and no land in occupancy, the planter has to induce the riots to cultivate their land with the article he wants. For half a century his plan for effecting this end has been to induce his tenantry to take advances. For every rupee so taken the ryot has to furnish from four to eight bundles of indigo. The peasant, from the beginning, never liked the indigo, for two reasons—it requires minute attention and excessive exertion in cutting time, and it is a "gambling crop," i.e. the difference of return in different years is excessive. Under the advance system the whole risk is borne by the peasint. If his crop is large he prospers, but if it is bad his advance debt runs into the following year, and he has to cultivate next time without any money at all. Still an advance of capital without interest was tempting, and while rice was low the indigo was, on the whole, a fair cultivation. For the past six years, however, while the price of rice has been steadily rising, the de mand for seeds has been enormously on the increase. l'he rate for indigo remained unchanged, and the peasant therefore found that he was often using his land to pay off an old debt at a low price per bundle, while he might have gained a high profit on his rice or seeds. As a matter of course he tried to shirk, and equally aia, matter of course the planter insisted on his bundles of plant. If he found the ryot obsti nate, the planter sowed the land himself, frequently being attacked by the villagers during the opera tion. This is the root of the " club or lattial system," the planter keeping clubmen to protect the cultivation. At last, prices continuing to rise, the peasantry became more menacing in their tone, and recently beset the Lieutenant-Governor with petitions. Mr. Grant replied, stating that they must work if they contracted to work, but they could make contracts or not as they liked. Mr. Eden, magistrate of Baraset, indignant at what he thought oppression, or, as the Olanters say, de testing the interlopers, circulated a paragraph of Mr. Grant's letter among the police. Police and people took it to mean that Government disap proved the cultivation of indigo, and a sudden strike followed. The news spread, and in a few days the cultivation of indigo had stopped is Krishnaghur, Moorshedabad, Baraset, and Jessore. A few fac tories, owned directly by Europeans, kept on ; but the peasantry at once threatened the workmen with death, and beat them severely as earnest of their intentions. To put down mutiny among their own order they moved in large masses with clubs, and, of course, we all know the danger from an ex cited mob. In a few days they commenced menac ing the Europeans. In one factory the assistants were clubbed; in another the stacks were burnt down; in a third Mr. Lyons was compelled to call the crew of a steamer to his aid, and shoot down five of the mob. In all there was the certainty of immediate insolvency. If the seed was not sown by May the crop—a million sterling—would be lost, and advances of a million sterling more irre trievably. sacrificed. The planters, therefore, ap plied to Government for aid. In any other contry the civil courts could have protected both parties. In Bengal, however, the civil courts aro mere devices for delaying justice. It takes from seven to 15 months to get a suit on the file. The India-house can produce elaborate tables showing that the average of delay is five or three months. Those tables are quite truthful, only the delay is calculated from the first hearing, which may be a year after the first application to be heard. Moreover, the special cases involved were too nu merous. Mr. Forlong, for example, agent for a London company, has 19,000 separate cash con tracts out. All the Courts in Bengal could not settle them in five years, and resort to Government was unavoidable. Government was very unwilling t o move . Th e chief officials said, justly enough, the peasants would never resist a profitable trade, and an un profitable one had better die. Last week, however, the reports from the magistrates became alarming. One known to be favourable to the ryots reported that the outrages revealed gave no adequate idea of the excitement, and that the peasantry were re fusingds, native as w e ll as querie at all h azar d s , orders ar r i ve d f rom E Lord op ce aa r nn e n n. n A t g o t t o t t h hs e et sp l a a m n a d e oa timere and Mr. Wilson represented the folly of allowing a grand trade to disappear at the mandate of pea sants whom the loss of that very trade would im poverish. The Government gave way, and on the 24th inst. a bill to preserve indigo contracts was introduced. and do es no t sow i n di go, It provides that any man wh o h as rece i ved cash the ind advance and i m p r i sone d. is a go b , reach of con t ract, or omAnna may be r bm o e m afin i s n e ien t ds o tfi. gvo times spoil ing a growing crop, may be imprisoned for six months. It also provides for:a:commission of in question, and put plan tersii!rYan to investigate i.yo This commission will comprise a civilian, a pl an t er, a merchant, ts alike the on oath. and a native, Mr. Yule, the hu n ti ng comm i ss i oner ( of Bhaugulpore, and one of the most trusted men in India, being, I believe, the civilian. At the same time, large bodies of military police and irregular cavalry were ordered into the district to support the law. The Act expires on the 24th of Septem ber, the object being simply to gain time. How far it will be effectual we do not yet know. The belief here is that the ryots will yield. By the last accounts they are represented as declaring that Go vernment has betrayed them ; that, after ordering them to discontinue sowing, it imprisons them for obeying its orders—a remark which, as the expres sion of angry feeling, very likely was made. If they do not yield, the cultivation is at an end, for all the Acts in the world will not enable half a dozen magistrates to imprison two or three milli - 6ns of people. On the merits of the quarrel, opinion will be, of course, divided. The planters admit that their rates were too low, and explain their adherence to them by the known difficulty of altsriug a ." dustoor." There is no doubt, also, that the factory managers (natives) used to oppress the people. If the gm/lash tsh was well fee'd, he drew the measuring chain lightly round the bundles., If he were not, he could pull the bundle to half its size. He always took, too, a very heavy " dustooree" on advances ; i.e., in plain English, he stole 20 per cent. So well is this known among the natives that the men of one factory agreed to yield if the European would deal with them personally, and dismiss his native agent. Oa the other hand, a Bengalee ryot is the most tiling of human beings. H e i s a l ways d o i ng small swindles, and he regards the " kottree, or factory, as an entity it is his moral duty to cheat. In the particular case he had, moreover, no right to refuse to cultivate and refuse to repay advances at the same time, while his trick of combining for violence brings him always into conflict with goodorder. The commis sion of inquiry will do infinite good, and its appoint ment is a curious lesson to, all official men. It is now seven years since the non-official class in Ben gal, headed by Mr. Macleod Wylie and some lead ing missionaries, demanded an inquiry into' the condition of the peasantry of Bengal. One of their petitions was presented to the House of Commons by the member for Perth, and caused au animated debate. Mr. liinnaird even then, in nahearing, -pointed out the possibility of it Acquerze, aia was told from the Ministerial benches that the people alone were to blame because they were too cowardly to resist. An argument of the same kind was read from a minute by Mr. Doran, late member of Coun eil, and elicited from Lord John Russell the sharp, andois events have proved, wise remark, that men with such opinions ought not to be members of Council. I do not think the movement politically danger ous as yet. The true ground for apprehension is lest t he ryots, aware that they hav e o bt a i ne d re d ress b y strikes," should follow up their new policy to a dan gerous extent. Some of the rice cultivators have grievances to which those of the indigo growers are trifles, and they are very likely to imitate their brethren. A new Bengalee dictionary of law tc h rms is just out. I find in it a single word, marocha, to express the illegal fee a zemindar exacts from the ryot on his marriage. Only imagine the universality of an oppression like that before a people would in vent a word to express it ! The ryot knows that this tax is unjust just as well - as the Lieutenant- Governor, and the moment he dares he will throw that burden and a good many others off his shoulders. Your readers may comprehend how inefficient parts of our administration are when I say that every official in the country understands these illegal cesses, reports about them, deplores them, and is utterly powerless to afford the people h e professes to govern even the appearance of a remedy. If a man does not pay, the zemindar's clubmen beat him nearly to death. If he complains, the court takes three months to inquire; and intermediately he is kid napped and tortured till he acknowledges that his charge is a false one. The records are crowded with such cases ; and then we wonder the peasantry hate the rich and have a " latent tendency to turbise lence." I should like to analyse the " latent ten dencies" of labourers in Norfolk under those cir cumstances. There can be no doubt whatever that the peasantry of Bengal, though yearly better off iv. point of means, do suffer a most unreasonable amount of oppression without the chance of legal redress. It is just possible that Government, warned by its present difficulty, may take steps to remove the causes of discontent, but [ confess I have little hope. I have watched the course of legislation here for 12 years, and with the exception of Mr. Currie's Rent Law, which abolished the legal right of the zemindar to flog a tenant to death if he would not attend cutcherry, I have never seen anything done for the peasantry. The trader is jealousy protected, the artisan is carefully taught ; but the ryot in India, as in England, is left to his landlord, and the land lord thinks the less he is " elevated" the easier he is to manage. MR. WALTER AND MR. EaRSMAN. (From the Times.) It is unnecessary that in this place we should either repeat or comment on the correspondence and debate which Mr. Horsman has thought fit to provoke on the position of the press. The letters and speeches will speak for themselves, and we are confident that nine-tenths of our readers will ask with amazement what could be the object of Mr. Horsman, what damage he was attempting to re pair, what cause he was concerned t ) vindicate in an attempt to fasten a personal responsibility on a public journal. The case of the anonymous press has been so often discussed, and so invariably de cided in its favour, as essential to its liberty, that for a man to dispute it argues him positively behind hand upon the submitted principles and received philosophy of constitutional order and go vernment. We have only to look to France, where the press is no longer anonymous, to see the legitimate conclusion of Mr. Horsmi's theory. While proclaiming the inde penderlEe of the press, he insists on its responsi bility, and falls into a strange confusion on the meaning and form of that which he thinks is so im portant to the welfare of society. Nobody in this day denies the responsibility of the press in its only true and natural form. There is nothing in the world more responsible than the press. F or every word on either side of these tw o immense sheets we may be called to account this very day, either by public opinion or by some contemporary, or by an appeal to ourselves, or in the courts of law, or on the floor of Parliament. Our words are proclaimed in the face of day, and not only proclaimed, but left ou record for ever. The wish " Oh, that mine enemy might write a book !" is fulfilled in all we do ; and if on Mr. Horsraan's theory we are every man's enemy, every man has us at his mercy. For the merest passing observation that, in the event of being secured against a dissolution for two years, even Mr. Horsman might talk more easily of his ruffle with his constituents, he has occupied three hours of public time, and given us the benefit of some very unpleasant comparisons. We will ven ture to say that never was so passing a remark so gravely interpreted, and so heavily visited ; and yet Mr. Horsman complains that the Times is irrespon sible. Once for all, what is the public press, if Lord Brougham will allow us to call it by that name ? It is only one form and one development of that public opinion which is the very life of freedom. Public opinion is that which rises from the common heart of society, is informed by its common sense, and passes from mouth to mouth. Public opinion in this country is that flow of thought and reflection which passes from man to man, house to house, table to table, club to club, class to class, and so through the kingdom. It fixes and records itself in the newspapers, which thus become the mirror of the times, and no one will pretend that they are not a true and faithful mirror. Now, it so happens that before public opinion becomes strictly anonymous it is apt to be very irresponsible, and it only becomes responsible to all intents and purposes when it be comes anonymous. In ordinary conversation men and things are often discussed with excessive H- I cence. Men of lively f anc i es , an d per h aps s t rong ' opinions, relate incidents, describe persons, ascribe words, and do all and more than any newspaper can venture to do, with the certainty of being be lieved, and an equal certainty of never being called to account. They express themselves with drama tic effect, and so coin statements which will pass cur rent, because they are striking, are bright, sharply cut, and ring clear. They may possess a whole neighbourhood, a whole city, a whole kingdom, with statements which are really false and injuri ous, and which may never reach the ear of the vic tim. A man may thus have his character slandered or jested away, and no more know it for years and years than the Union Bank knew the quiet abstrac tion of a quarter of a million by their cashier. This is going on, more or less, every day, every hour; and, no doubt, many a man's own familiar friend is talking him down f or y ears w ith ou t hi s k now i ng it, or hearing of it, except by altered looks in this or that quarter. Such is the actual amount of respon sibility attached to that current of opinions which is not strictly anonymous. The instant it reaches the press, and records itself in the " anonymous" journal, it becomes responsible. It is read by the persons accused or reflected on—" it is on record." litcrrz scripta nzanet. It cannot be denied ; it can be confronted with other statements, beaten down by argument, or softened by mitigating circum stances. If it is confuted, the journal suffers in credit. The accused is only too thankful that he has at last that opportunity of defending himself which society never allowed him. Yet this perfectly responsible, though anonymous press, which is the great pro tector, not only of our public liberties, but also of our personal character, which secures a hearing for everybody, and discovers every calumny, is com pared by Mr. Horsman to a midnight burglar, to a masked assassin, and we know not what besides— indicating not only a most unaccountable loss of temper, but also, as we have shown, a temporary abeyance of the reasoning faculties. Had we to seek through the world for instances to show Hr. Horsman utterly mistaken, we could find none more apposite than his own. In order to prove that the press is powerful because irrespon sible, and irresponsible because anonymous, he cites two instances, in which it is evident, on his own showing, that the press has not one atom of power except what it may have by the mere force of truth. It has calumniated him and the House of Commons, he says, by asserting that the house, and he in particular, can be biassed in their decision upon the Reform Bill by the personal consideration that, in the ease of an immediate dissolution, it may co.,t many members their seats, Mr. Horsman's, among the rest. This is simply a reflection upon matters before all the world. If it be an unfair or uncharitable reflection, it recoils on our heads. Till Mr. Horsman brought it up we certainly were not aware of any such indignant recoil. We will acquit him alike of prudence for himself and providence of the State. But what becomes of our power, so dan gerous to character, when the bare suggestion that Mr. Herman might talk more boldly about Stroud if he had not to go there for two years is the theme for so much virtuous defence and furious recrimination ? Whether we have villifiesl the House of Commons generally is a point on which the house appears to be so utterly unconcerned and so profoundly unconscious, that we must conclude either that the house swallows the indignity and ,desezTes iker that it,d9An9P SVgaig--94reakunny, which therefore is utterly powerless, or that there has been no such calumny uttered at all. Theplain and simple fact is that the great majority of the house would rather not have a general election next August, and world feel themselves in a much better mood for discussing the Reform Bill, and much more open to the adoption of some vigorous im provements, if not oppressed by the prospect of an immediate dissolution. But, according to Mr. Horsman, the crowning feat and damning crime of this anonymous and therefore irresponsibl e , irresponsible and th ere f ore all-powerful press, i s , that for a long time past it has successively attacked and destroyed the repu tation and influence of all our great men. Were not the facts of the case patent to all mankind, it might be suppo-ed that Westminster Abbey was full of our vict'ms, most of whom had passed thither after an arraignment in the neighbouring Hall, and a walk through one of the windows of Whitehall Chapel. But how stand the facts of the case ? At the very time Mr. Horsman was read ing this astounding demonstration of our despotic and irresistible power, and our murderous propen sities, he was surrounded by men who have not only survived the very attacks he describes for half a century, more or less, but are the pfincipal men of the country ; not only that, but on very good terms with ourselves ; not only that, but supply ing by their friendly relations a new and separate ground of accusation against us,who are denounced in the same speech as the murderers of their politi cal influence and the objects of their confidential regards, as at once incompatible and inseparable. If it has unfortunately happened to us to make se vere comments on all our public men, and if Mr. Horsman thinks that an incontrovertible proof cf a temper and power inimical to the constitution, we should like to know what sort, of career he world have preferred to witness in us during the period of our alleged delinquencies. It is justly said that if there is one thing no. Englishman knows it is the history of his country for the last 10 years. So we venture to take Mr. Horsman with us through that period, and invite bim to consider whether it is we who are answerable for tir;s variety of comment. We will take the suppo-ition most favourable to his view of the case. As Lord Palmerston is now Premier, it must be inferred to be the present judgment of Mr. Horsman that he ought to have been Premier all along. We ought, then, to have gone along with Lord Palmerston is 1851, when he was turned out by Lord John Russell ; in 1852, when he was brought in by Lord Aberdeen, and became the colleague of his ancient antagonist; in 1855, when, on the overthrow of Lord Aberdeen, he became Premier ; in 1858, when he was turned out by Mr. Milner Gibson, Mr. Gladstone, and Lord John Re ell ; an d i n 1859, when he became again Premier with all these three for his colleagues. Thus the most superhuman in tegrity, patriotism, consistency, dis - arnment, and prescience would only have led us through a suces sion of phases, in which we should have tiad to con demn in turns, with the utmost severity, not only Lord Aberdeen and his colleagues, but the thr most distinguished members of Lord Paimerston's present Cabinet, with no other alteinative but to wind up with a similar condemnation of the man who could commit himself by partnership with such unworthy characters. The truth is it is not this or that journal, but the House of Commons, and the House of Commons as refl-cting and embodying the public opinion of England, that Mr. Horsman must bring into covi t. We beg to assure him it is not we who are anonymous offenders, but he must frame his indictment against England altogether, her public opinion and her political habits. We are not the Kingmakers and Kingkillers. Such as he have much more to do with it. If we criticize men and measures, we do not destroy ; we do not even weaken • we do not so much as alienat e . Th ere s t an d the killed. men, not only healthy and strong, but our very good friends. They neither need nor de sire Mr. Horsman's protecting aegis against us. With stouter frames, and finer mettle, they can sur vive, and even improve by our criticisers ; and, in stead of trying to hunt us dove can thank us for our honesty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—May 7. MANSION-HOUSE.—Henry Francis Richard son, who some weeks ago was committed from this court upon a charge of having defrauded the coun cil of the London Rifle Brigade of various sums of money, was brought up from:Newgate, by habeas corpus, to meet a further charge of misdemeanour, to be preferred against him on behalf of the same prosecutors. Mr. Humphreys appeared on behalf of the coun cil of the brigade, and Mr. Bartley, of Bartlett's buildings, who was not, however, present when the prisoner was placed at the bar, appeared for the defence. Sir It. Carden—Have you retained any solicitor, priconrir ? Prisoner—Yes, I have, but he is not here, yet I never knew of this until Saturday evening, al though I have been ten weeks in waiting for my trial, and now this involves the necessity of new briefs and new counsel fees. Mr. Humphreys—That is untrue, as the prisoner had notice of it a week ago. Sir It. Carden—l think you have no cause of complaint, for if you are not yet ready to answer the charge the judges will adjourn the case, I dare say, as they often do. Prisoner—But I have already been in prison ten weeks, and am not anxious to bo there five weeks longer. Sir R. Carden—Well, it is not a very great hard ship, as the judges will, I have no doubt, listen to any reasonable application you make. You are, perhaps, aware that this charge is brought under a new act of Parliament, as under the old act the indictment might have been preferred without the necessity of this course being taken. Prisoner—What I complain of more particularly is that as notice was given to ine on Tuesday last I was not brought up on Wednesday or Thursday, which would have given me time to prepare for my trial. Mr. Humphreys—Under the old act an indict ment might have been preferred against the pri soner without notice, but he received notice of this particular case last Tuesday, and was also informed of the exact nature of the evidence that would be brought against him. The present charge, which is brought against him by the advice of counsel, is of having, by false pretences, obtained six small sums of money, amounting in the whole to £lO, from the council of the London Rifle Bri gade. The learned gentleman then proceeded to state the precise circumstances under which the charge had arisen, and which are detriled in the evidence below. Mr. Alderman Rose, Alderman of the City of London—l am vice-president of the council of the London Rifle Brigade, of which the prisoner was acting secretary. Among other books he had charge of the petty cash book produced. As a member of the finance committee 1 admitted his ace9untzl, and among them this petty cash book. I audit e d i t on the 25th October, 1859 : There is an entry in that book " Paid for advertisement a sum of Mr. Bartley (who had now arrived to defend the prisoner)—l must object to the production of that book unless the entries to be referred to are in the prisoner's handwriting. Mr. Alderman Rose—The book was kept by him. Mr. Humphreys—And he produced it to Mr. Alderman Rose. Mr. Bartley—He never did produce it. You have not proved that. Mr. Alderman Rose—The book was kept by Mr Jeffery, but it was in the custody of the prisoner, v z,\---v., • . . and all the am oun ts whi c h it containfiNro 4:-ZAric-6 rented to .have been paid by him. The mOdl of auditing *as this. The secretary took his place at the desk, when ho called in Mr. Jeffery with the book, who handed it to me in his presence, and by his desire, as his (prisoner's). petty cash book. Prisoner—No, no. Mr. Humphreys—The book was handed to you either by him personally or at his desire ? M r . Alderman Rose—The book was handed to me either by him manually or by his desire. On the 3d of October I find entered an item, "-Paid ad vertisement in Times, subscription £1 195.," which was there when I audited the books. He presented a book containing vouchers at the same time, and among the vouchers I have no doubt was the one produced for that amount as paid to the :limes. I also found an item of 14s. for two advertisements for adjutants, paid to the• Times in the same wa y , on Oct. 5 ; but it is ent ere d on the 10th. I b e li eve he gave me a voucher for the amount. On Oct. 10 I find an item for advertise ments in the Times (six insertions), £2 Bs., for which also I believe he gave me the voucher Fo dueed. Oil the same day there is an itcm for ad vertLinrr "subscriptions" in the limes, 1:1 for which also he gave me a voucher. On Oct. 18 I - find an entry for payment to the 7intes for three insertions of another advertisement, £1 11s. Gil. ; and on the 19th I End an entry, " Paid for adver tisement of donations in the Times, £2 25.," and for which I produce the voucher. According to the petty cash book I find the prisoner expended over • and above his cash, £l9 14s. 2d., which I reported to the council on Oct. 25, I believe in the presence of the prisoner, and on the same day a cheque was drawn for £2O, payable ,to the prisoner, and was signed by me and the late Lord Mayor, Mr. Alder man Wire, to cover that sum of £l9 14s. 2d. It has been returned from the bank, and is endorsed by the prisoner. That cheque was handed to the prisoner, on the faith of the entries in his book, and upon his statement that the sums had been paid as repre sented.. ,The. accounts.jrednepd„ hstse wlaieh - were baked tip Messrs. Sirett Brothers to the council of the brigade, at least to the best of my belief, and the cheque produced, for £167 Bs. 3d., was paid to Messrs. Street, our advertising agents, on April 10, in settlement of those accounts. I was not aware that the six items which make up the present charge against the prisoner were entered in those accounts. Cross-examined by Mr. Bartley—The prisoner was to have 5 per cent. upon his collection, and it was for the council to determine whether he was further to receive any particular sum. Mr. Bartley—Allow me to ask you whether there was not a resolution passed at every council meet ing requesting him to act as secretary pro tern. ? Mr. Alderman Rose—Certainly not. Mr. Bartley—Was not "such a minute entered ? Mr. Alderman Rose—No: Mr. Goodman (chief clerk)—Where do you, wish to lead to ? This has nothing at all to do with the question of a servant. If he had been a complete stranger, and had said he made these payments, and so obtained the money by a false representa tion, it would have been all the same. Mr. Bartley—But he has not said so. Sir R. Carden—Alderman Rose has said he handed in the book as his own. Mr. Humphreys—And at all events he received the cheque. Mr. Bartley—But the evidence is not that the entries were made by him, but by Jeffery, and un less he had been Jeffery's master he was not respon sible for his entries. Mr. Humpbreys—lt was all done at his desire, and that is a false pretence in law. Mr. Bartley—From whom did you receive the book at the audit, Mr. Alderman Rose ? Mr. Alderman Rose-Jeffery, I believe, brought the book in, but I am perfectly ready to swear that on the day on which I made that audit the books and vouchers were produced by the desire of the prisoner. Mr. Bartley—You will swear that ? Mr. Alderman Rose—Yes. Mr. Bartley—ls Mr. Jeffery here ? Mr. Alderman Rose—l do not see him. Mr. Bartley—Do you know whether he is ex pected to be here ? _ Mr. Humphreys—l can answer that Ido not intend to produce him. Mr. Bartley—Well, whose handwriting is that bcok in ? Mr. Alderman Rose—Jeffery's, but the books were in the prisoner's own charge, and Jeffery was only brought in at his own request to assist him manually. Mr. Bartley--Do you know whether he had any authority from Richardson to enter those advertise ments in that book ? Mr. Alderman Rose—l can't say that; I can only swear that account was presented to me by the prisoner as a true statement of his petty cash at the audit. Mr. Bftrticy—Will you swear that he looked at that book at all on that day ? Mr. Alderman Rose—l will swear that he pro duced it. Mr. Bartley—Or Mr. Jeffery ? Mr. Alderman Rose—That book is in Jeffery's handwriting, but the money for payment of the various items which it contains was entrusted to Richardson alone. Mr. Bartley—Do you know whether he autho rised Jeffery to make those entries? Mr. Alderman Rose—l can't say, but the council did not. Arthur Street, clerk to Messrs. Street Brothers, of Serle-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields, advertising agents, deposed that ho knew the prisoner as sec retary to the London Rifle Brigade ; took his orders for advertisements to be inserted in the Times—paid for those specially referred to by Mr. Ald. Rose at the Times office, and subsequently handed the vouchers to the prisoner, at his request, for the prisoner to get the money from the council. Witness several times asked him for the money without receiving it, the last time being a day or two after the 20th October, when the prisoner told him to include those items in Messrs. Street's ac count to the brigade, and witness did so. Cross-examined—l banded the vouchers to the prisoner at his request, that he might get the money ter us. He told me he brought the advertisements to us because he had not time to go to the Times office direct. Mr. Humphreys said his case was complete, and The prisoner being asked what he had to say to the charge, replied—l can only state that I deny it most distinctly. I shall leave my defence of course to my counsel, on my trial. But I think that, to show the animus with which these proceedings have been conducted, I may be allowed to state one thing. I am charged with obtaining £lO by false pretences in the month of October, when I had founded the London Rifle Brigade six months before, working night and day in its service, and have never received one guinea in the shape of salary for the perform ance of those ; and yet I am held up to public scorn for having obtained £lO by fraud—and I deny it. The prisoner was then committed for trial. Henry O'Meara was charged with stealing 120 yards of cloth, value £BO, the property of his employers, Messrs. Earle, Fryer, and Co., No. 1, Ironmonger-lane, Manchester warehousemen. Jarvis, detective, said—l went to _Messrs. Earle's warehouse, saw the prisoner there and said to him, "I understand you have confessed to stealing the cloth." He said, " Yes ; I stole it, and have pawned it." I said, "What have you donewith the tickets ?" He said, " I destroyed them as soon as I got out of the shop." He then gave me a list of 23 pawn brokers, with whom he had pawned the cloth. Mr. Earle then gave him into custody. Two pawnbrokers who Went present produced pieces of cloth about tw o y ar d s m ad a half in length, and identified the prisoner as the party who pawned them. Jonathan Carter, manager to Messrs. Earle and Co., said—The prisoner has been with us about three months. It ;was his duty to open and close the warehouse, and he would have access to the cloth. We have missed cloth from time to time during the last few weeks. The cloth produced I believe to be our property. The quality is the same as the roll from which pieces have been cut. The prisoner, who had nothing to say, was re manded for the attendance of other pawnbrokers.
