LOST PROPERTY-131PORTANT CASE-TETIBETT V. ISENBERG. This was a summons to recover £6 10s., the value of 19 pairs of boots, left at defendant's warehouse, and alleged to have been sold. Mr. Buchanan appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Lumley for the defendant. The transaction giving rise to the present proceedings occurred as far back as 1853. It appeared that plaintiff, who is a boot and shoemaker of Northampton, submitted a parcel of 48 pairs of boots for defendant to select from. Defendant made a choice of 29 pairs, leaving 19 pairs for plaintiff to take away. At plaintiff's instance these 19 pairs were left in defendant's warehouse to be taken care of as a favour. Some time afterwards plaintiff applied for his property, and was told that by mistake some of the boots had been sold. He was offered a small parcel of four pairs alleged to be the residue, but refused to take them away. 091 1001 100 351 93 2i / 971 8 31 Defendant alleged that the boots (19 pairs) were taken care of as a favour, and upon application returned to plaintiff. _ _ Mr. Lumley contended that defendant was bound, as bailie of these goods, to take ordinary, but not extraordi nary care of them. His Honour—l don't think selling a person's property is taking care of it. Plaintiff is entitled to a verdict with costs. SOLICITORS AND ATTORNEY'S ROBES IND THE COURT. In a case which occurred, Mr. Beard applied for his 99 f costs. 15 i 14} His Honour—You will have your costs, but I tell you that on and from the Ist October next, a great many altera tions will be made, and I intend to be very strict. Only a day or two ago I allowed a counsel D. 3s. 6d. who told me that he did not consider his case of sufficient importance to appear in costume, but I shall require not only counsel but also solicitors to robe, or I shall not allow fees. Mr. Buchanan—l think it will be a very good rule. His Honour—You had better look sharp ; you have a long notice. Mr. Beard—Shall we have to robe ? His Honour—Certainly. The matter then dropped. LYONS V. JORDAN-LOAN SOCIETIES AND SURETIES. Plaintiff had been security for defendant for a loan of £5. Defendant became a defaulter, and plaintiff, as surety, was summoned for £4 ss. at the Clerkenwell County Court. Plaintiff was ordered to pay the money by instalments, having done which he now sought to recover from defen dant the amount. Mr. Hockley Wood, for the defendant, contended that plaintiff had paid £1 15s. more than was due, and after being informed that only £2 10s. was due. Plaintiff could not recover the £1 15s. His Honour decided that plaintiff was bound to attend to the order of the Clerkenwell County Court, and ordered defendant to pay the amount in 20 days. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY, AND LucKY ESCAPES.—Ann Williams and Emma Bishop, the latter of whom has been previously charged at this court with felony, were charged with steal ing a silver watch of the value of £J, the property of Mr. John Clement, upholsterer, 21, Poland-street, Oxford street. The prosecutor said he went into Mr. M'Donald's, the Scotch . Stores, Oxford-street, thatmorning, about two, with some friends, having previously to going to the house been drinking rather freely. He partook of more drink with his friends, who shortly after left, and he then got into conver sation with the prisoners, and left the house with them, one on each side, and as he was going along Oxford-street, he put his hand to his waistcoat pocket and missed his watch. He at once taxed the prisoners with the robbery, but they stoutly denied ; but feeling certain they had got it, he detained them, and gave them into custody. He valued the watch as the gift of his father. Mr. Beadon said if he had any regard for his father's watch he would advise him to keep sober. A constable who assisted in taking the prisoner into cus tody said that, seeing Williams fidgetting about, he seized her hand and took the watch from it. Mr. Beadon said Bishop was a well-known thief, and had escaped before (she was charged with robbing a butler of about £2O a short time since), and must escape a second time, but she had better be cautious or she might not escape the third. There was rot sufficient legal evidence against her, and she was discharged. As to the other (Williams), who had also been at the court before, he should ask her whether she was guilty or not. Williams pleading guilty, she was committed for four months with hard labour. THAMES. APPLICATION FOR A DIVORCE.—Mrs. Carlin, a very respectable woman, the wife of Thomas Carlin, a soldier, who served in the Crimean war, and who has been re manded on a charge of bigamy, applied to Mr. Yardley for I divorce. • Mr. Yardley—My good woman I have no power to gran a divorce. Mrs. Carlin—l am Carlin's first wife, and ho abandoned me several years ago, and married another woman, whom he has ill-used. The second wife, an equally respectable woman, who ap peared to be much careworn, here stepped forward. Mr. 'Y ardley addressed the first wife, and said she must apply to the Divorce Court if she wished to annul her mar riage with Carlin. He would advise her not to take any proceedings against her husband until after the trial. If her husband was found guilty, there was no doubt the Divorce Court would annul the bonds of matrimony. Mrs. Carlin thanked the magistrate, and took a seat alongside the second wife, and both were crying and con doling with each other for some time, until Carlin was brought up on remand and charged with intermarrying with his second wife, whilst his first wife was living. It appeared that the prisoner had abandoned his first wife (to whom he was married at Basford, Nottinghamshire), for se veral years before he married his second wife at the parish church of St. George, Bloomsbury, in 1853. The ill. usage ,of his second wife, and his being confined to barracks in the Tower, led to the detection of Carlin's first marriage. Evidence of both marriages was given, and the prisoner was committed for trial. DUTCH OPINION OF ENGLAND.—A respectable looking Dutchman, wearing spectacles, who gave the name of Florentine Mictlingen, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with smuggling 2 lbs. 6 ounces of foreign manu factured tobacco. Mr. William Taylor, tide surveyor, said he stopped the prisoner, who was leaving the Leo, a Rotterdam steamer, at the St. Katherine Wharf, and found upon him 2 lbs. and 6 ounces of tobacco and cigars. The prisoner said he was told in Holland by his country men that England was a free and enlightened country, and that he could take anything on shore without interruption. Mr. Yardley—lt is a free country, but people are not free to import goods without payment of the duty. We have to pay a large amount of taxation for our freedom. The prisoner said he was ignorant of the law. Mr. Yardley would advise the prisoner to become ac quainted with our law. If he did not ho would lose his freedom. lie fined the prisoner 305., which he paid. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. About an average supply of English wheat—the prin cipal portion being of the present year's growth, and in fair condition, was on offer here to-day. All kinds met a dull inquiry, and prices were 2s per qr. lower than last week. In foreign wheat—the show of which was extensive — very little business was passing, on former terms. Floating cargoes of grain were a slow inquiry. The few samples of barley on offer realised full prices, but the demand was by no means active. Most kinds of malt changed hands at Monday's prices. Good sound oats supported previous rates ; but low and heated samples ruled heavy, at 6d per qr. less money. Beans, peas, and flour were unaltered in value. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK Oats.

FORESTERS' FETE AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE. — Yesterday morning some thousands of the followers of " Bold Robin Hood" treated themselves to an official visit to the Crystal Palace. The extraordinary appearance of the men as they passed through the streets of London attracted much attention. Many of the leaders were dressed in cocked hats, green coats, and stage boots, while many of them wore on their backs a singular preparation of sheepskin to indicate that they were " shepherds," a title of honour conferred upon those who have passed through the principal offices of the sect, such as " woodwards," rangers, &c. Others who wore less extensively decorated carried flags indicating their re spective lodges, and when one procession happened to meet another at a turning the fraternisation which took place was something wonderful. In order to accommodate the vast numbers who were expected to visit the palace, the gates were thrown open as early as half-past eight o'clock, and from that time during the whole of the morning, the Foresters flecked in by thousands, special trains having been started from London-bridge and Pim lico every few minutes, in order that there might not be an undue crush. Many of the lodges round Camberwell, Peckham, Norwood, and the neighbourhood, walked in procession to the Palace. An abundance of out door amusements, calculated to call forth the sympathies and peculiarities of the Foresters, were provided. There were no less than 62,000 visitors to the Palace in the course of the day. SPORTING NOTES, OXFORD AND CANTERBURY. The only drawbacks from a full enjoyment of the sport at Egham yesterday were the inefficiency of the police ar rangements and the unmitigated ruffianism which marked certain portions of the crowd. The card dodges were tried on in the railway carriages, pockets were rifled on the course, and I heard an experienced detective officer declare that, throughout his entire experience, he scarcely remem bers such a large congregation- of loose characters. The weighing stand was turned into a receptacle for captured thieves, and, in fact, the pleasant character which was wont to attach to the meeting was quite destroyed. The sport was not of a very first-class description. The favourite, Killigrew, won the Handicap with at least a stone to spare, and Thunderbolt justified the long odds which were laid on him for the King John Stakes by cutting down his oppo nents without an effort. This horse, who has undeniably good looks, improves upon acquaintance, and should there be nothing queer about his legs he will be heard of to greater advantage next season. The revival of Oxford races is likely to be attended with a marked success. They who undertook the work brought earnestness and ability to bear upon their task, and their efforts were banked by both pecuniary and personal assist ance, by the principal inhabitants of the town, and by the leading families of the neighbourhood. The course, which is inferior to very few in the kingdom, is in excellent con dition, and the Oxonians are not a little elated at the pro spect of a re-inauguration of a very pleasant gathering. The City Members' Plate has a capital entry, and will be briskly speculated upon. I shall stand on the old 'uns, and shall select Little Gerard, New Brighton, and The Poacher to be amongst the foremost at the finish. For the Oxfordshire Plate my fancy points to Eltham Beauty and The Greek. Hartley Wintney will go unpenalised to the post for the Heaton Plate, and as he can unquestionably " race a bit," he is certainly trustworthy. For the Port Mead ow Plate my allegiance must be divided between the " two Queens"—Queen of the South and Queen Bess. The Stratton Audley Nursery Plate has thirty six nomi nations, and the " talent" will have much difficulty in selecting a favourite. I shall be inclined to trust Madrid and Jessie Brown. Ladyaingston and Hop Merchant may be as trustworthy as anything for the Innkeepers' Plate. The Canterbury meeting will be materially affected by its clashing with the Oxford fixture. Its list, however, shows an improvement on that issued of late years. The only two handicaps closed seem to me within the grasp of Yellow Rose. . ________ __ . __ A FRESH MAN.

The following remarks on a leading article in Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper have been refused ad mission into its columns, and we have been re quested to insert them : Sir,—ln answer to the question contained in your leader of the 14th inst., " Why is not the Bal lot Society more active than we find it ?' " Why has this society not familiarised the public with the advantages of the ballot, and fortified its posi tion by apt illustrations which have been derived from the ballot-box in America and Australia ?" I beg leave to reply as follows :- Ist. As to want of activity, I am happy to be able to quote the contrary opinion of an Anti- Ballotist. In a pamphlet, entitled " A few Remarks on the Ballot, addressed to all who value the security of property and the maintenance of order and good government," recently published at Exeter by a gentleman who, oddly enough for an opponent of secrecy, chooses to keep his name secret, it is said—" With unaltered zeal and perse verance, with an increasing addition of strength from the accession of many persons of high in fluence and important social position set ting forth arguments and assertions which have been refuted and proved to be un founded so repeatedly and so clearly as to render the subject stale and nauseous as twice boiled cabbage, the ballot-mongers hold their meetings, deliver their lectures, and make their annual motion in Parliament. By dint of sheer hard work and ceaseless agitation slowly but steadily increasing in numbers and importance." " The agitation, in its favour is no mere bugbear. The minority in Parliament includes many men of immense wealth and influence. This clearly proves the immediate and absolute necessity of prompt and vigorous resistance on the part of its oppo nents.' The anti-ballotist does us more justice than the editor of Lloyd's, although we are proud to rank him amongst the advocates of the ballot. Tracts exhibiting the necessity of the ballot, the arguments in its support, the opinions of eminent politicians in its favour, and " fortifying our position by apt illustrations of the benefits which have been derived from the ballot-box in America and Australia," have been and are circulated by the thousands in every Parliamentary borough, and also in the counties, as opportunities are afforded. I may add that the communication on the work• ing of the ballot in New South Wales, which ap peared in your paper of the 14th, was forwarded by this society to each of the London daily . papers, and the leading Liberal papers in the provinces. Meetings in the following places have been re cently held, and attended by members of the com mittee, who addressed them on the question of the ballot : Cirencester Godalming Cheltenham Greenwich Gloucester Launceston Portsmouth Tewkesbury Devonport Deptford Dover Helston - Monmouth .Reigate Truro Exeter Promo Harwich Horsham Norwich Sheffield Woburn Folkestone Fenny Stratford Hackney Is:swich Newcastle-on-Tyne Taunton Woolwich These deputations receive no remuneration for their services. I may further add that since the formation of this society the supporters of the bal lot in Parliament have increased from 176 to 238. No election passes without a movement, public or private, as is judged most efficient, being made for the ballot. _ _ _ The committee fully acknowledge " they should be as active as eloquent, and as persevering as the Anti-Corn Law League," but that they may be so they must be as rich. The League expended in their agitation (if I recollect rightly) £200,000. This society has not, at present, had the means of expending for our movement £lO,OOO. I trust you will insert this letter, and that it may lead to an increase of the society's means of pro ducing additional subscribers amongst your readers. If that be the case, our activity will increase also. The above was written and sent to your office before I saw your paper of the 21st, with your further strictures on our proceedings. With this letter in your possession it is strange you should repeat your mistaken assertions. I need only add that one, whose competency to judge you will not question, Mr. Cobden, in his speech at Rochdale, speaking of the Ballot Society, said, " That Society is worthy your support, and will, I hope, go on advocating the Ballot, and adducing, as it is ad ducing, the best possible arguments to show its morality and efficiency." • I am, Sir, your obedient servant, WM. WICKHAM, Secretary. The Ballot Society's Offices, Guildhall-chambers, Aug. 19, 1859. LONDON DISTRICT TELEGRAPH COM PANY. Yesterday the first half-yearly meeting of the above company was held at the London Tavern, Mr. Robert Taylor, vice-chairman of the board of directors, in the chair. The report has already been published in The Sun. The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, ex plained the absence of Mr. Samuel Gurney, M.P., the chairman, who was spending his holiday in the Channel Islands. He had been induced to join the company, because he felt that the metropolis required such an undertaking, and having paid great attention to it, he had no hesitation in saying that in a short time the company's wires would be almost as much appreciated as the post-office. Few companies had received so much support from the public, and he believed the bulk of the shareholders had joined not as a matter of speculation, but with a view to investment. No free shares had been dis- tributed ; all the shares had been paid upon, and before the allotment took place every precaution was taken to ascertain the prospects of the under taking. Accordingly the directors put themselves in communication with bankers, insurance com panies, and others, and the result of these inquiries satisfied them the company would supply a want Tohich had been long felt in the metropolis. In carrying out theworks the directors had observed the strictest economy, and he was convinced that no body of directors could have more zealously devoted themselves to the duties they had undertaken. It had been under consideration to appoint a general manager of the future business of the company, but it was found that a person competent to discharge such duties could not be obtained for less than £4OO a-year, and it had therefore been proposed to manage the business by a. sub-committee. The wires would be worked by females, and the number of re •pectable and educated young persons who had applied for employment had quite surprised and grieved the directors. The terms upon which the staff would be employed were these ; those who could manipulate three or four words a minute would be paid ss. a-week ; eight words, Bs. ; and after that 10s. per week. At present the company had 45 young persons under the instruction of a competent instructress; and when the staff began to work the strictest rules would be laid down for their guidance. Any male clerk found talking to any of the female clerks would be subject to instant dismissal. After a short discussion the report was adopted, and the directors, the whole of whom retired at this meeting, were re-elected. The CHAIRMAN then informed the meeting that the next business was to consider the amount they would set aside as a remuneration for the directors. Mr. RENFRAY suggested that they should be re compensed by a per centage on the profits. The CHAIRMAN remarked that the profits for the past half-year had been but small, and cautioned the meeting against expecting a large dividend until they had had time to make the public familiar with so novel an undertaking. The directors had held 88 meetings during the past six months ; and by way of placing a tangible proposition before the meeting, he would move t hat the y be paid at the January last. of £l,OOO, commenci n g on the Ist of last. (Cries of i 0 No , no," and " To o much.") Mr. EAMES thought that the sum named was a very reasonable one yielddivi d e t d h e amongst the eight directors it . w l o f u only laY each, which was surely not too much for gentlemen of such standing as they had been fortunate enough to secure for the hoard. (Hear, hear.) The motion was then put, and was apparently lost. The CHAIRMAN was afraid it would be necessary to vote by the number of shares held by the gen tlemen present. Mr. RENFRAY would move an amendment. The CHAIRMAN said that, strictly speaking, Mr. Renfray was too late ; but as the directors would greatly prefer a unanimous vote, he would receive his proposition. Mr. RENFRAY moved that the sum be £BOO a year. A PROPRIETOR thought it was hardly worth while to press so paltry a reduction. (Hear, hear.) Mr. FARQUHAR said it would be bad policy to refuse the directors a fair remuneration for their labours, considering how much would depend upon their exertions. Mr. RENFRAY then withdrew. his motion, and the original proposition was carried by a large majority. The audit ors were re - e l ec t e d, and a vote of 15 guineas to each per annum was agreed to. The meeting terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman and the board. EGHAM RACES.-TUESDAY.

Webb, C.E., who is well known as haling had considerable experience in the test ing and examination of telegraphic cables, and who has just returned from Valencia, to which place he was recently deputed by the directors to proceed for the purpose, of affording them the necessary information as to the present electrical and mechanical state of the cable. My absence from London has prevented it from being sent to you sooner for the information of the Public.—Yours truly, GEORGE SAWARD, Secretary. Atlantic Telegraph Company, Liverpool, Aug. 22. " To TUE CHAIRMAN AND DIRECTORS OF THE AT LANTIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY. " Valencia, Aug. 10. " Gentlemen,—According to your request I have made from Valencia a careful examination of the electrical state of the Atlantic cable. I made some tests for comparison on the various pieces of Atlan tic cable in Messrs. Glass's premises at Greenwich during July 31 and August 1. - " I arrived here on the 4th inst., and, assisted by Mr. Collett, thade experiments during the sth, 6th, Bth, and 9th inst. " I find the lowest resistance shown to be 278 statute miles. " I find it is possible to increase this resistance up to 589 miles by sending a copper current for some time from six 12-plate Daniel's batteries. " By experiments I have made on various kinds of constructed faults I find that a fault which could be thus oxidized so as to give (by reversal of the current) a difference of resistance equal to the dif ference obtainable on the cable—viz., 311 miles, must give a minimum resistance of about 16 miles. " When the fault is large, and thus gives little resistance, no great change can be obtained by re versing the battery ; and, indeed, it is evident that when the connection between the line and earth is increased beyond a certain extent of surface no dif ference in the resistance of the circuit can be ob tained by reversing the battery. " When the fault is very minute it can be almost perfectly sealed up by a copper current, but the re sistance will still be very great, even with a zinc current. " My experiments show that a fault of about 16 miles' minimum resistance can be varied with cer tainty by reversal of the battery to the same degree as the fault on the cable, and that if the fault gives less resistance than 16 miles it cannot be varied to that extent, while, if it gives more resist ance, the variation cannot be produced with the same certainty, nor quite to the same degree. " Taking, therefore, the resistance of the fault and cable beyond the fault to be equal to 15 miles, this would bring the fault to about 263 statute miles from Valencia. " As I have no information of the return current due to different lengths of the Atlantic cable, which might have been observed and tabulated during the paying out of the cable, it is impossible to check the resistance tests accurately by the observed re turn current. " Comparing it, however, with the return current on the Cagliari and Malta and Corfu cables, and making, roughly, allowance for the increased size of the gutta percha in the Atlantic cable, I find it to be about what is due to the supposed distance of th. fault. " I also made experiments on the return current with a wire leading to earth from the cable, and by placing resistances in circuit in this wire I could represent a fault close at hand and of varying re- sistance. " I found that in such an arrangement, when the artificial fault gave a resistance of 300 miles, the return current was only reduced about 22 per cent. "If the real fault, therefore, was close at hand, the return current of the whole length of perfect cable beyond the fault would be only reduced about 22 per cent. " I am of opinion that the return observed cur rent is much less than 78 per cent. of the return current due to the whole cable, as it would be if the fault were close at hand and of a resistance of about 300 miles, and that it coincides, as nearly as I can judge, With that due to the length shown by the resistance. " Again, when the artificial fault was made to re present a resistance of 260 miles and then increased to 580 the return current only increased about 17 per cent., whereas when the real fault is increased to the same amount of resistance (by sending a copper current for some time) the return current in creases about 80 per cent. This shows also that the return current is more influenced by the partial healing of the fault than it would be if the fault was a small one near at hand, and consequently tends also to confirm the supposition that the fault is distant, and offers, when at its minimum little resistance. " I am of opinion, therefore, that a serious fault exists about 263 statute miles from Valencia, mea sured along the cable, and that the cable between that spot and this shore is comparatively perfect. " No tests from here can now decide whether the cable is mechanically severed, since all attempts to detect the reception of the most intense currents from the opposite shore have long since proved fruitless. " Still, from the various circumstances attendant on the decline of the insulation, there is every reason to believe that the continuity both of the cable and the conductor is perfect. " Whether any other fault exists besides the one alluded to it is impossible to ascertain by tests from Valencia. " The fact that the signals received at Valencia were always better than those received at New foundland proves, undoubtedly, that the worst in sulation has always been near Valencia; and therefore it seems probable that if the fault which exists on this a.ast, and which, very likely, forms the principal cause of leakage, could be removed, the insulation would be so far improved as to render the cable again available for signalling, pro vided the fault which is said (by those who have tested from Newfoundland) to exist in Trinity Bay was also repaired. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, " Your obedient servant, "F. C. WEBB." TILE CONVICT SMETHURST. This convict, who at present lies in a position so perilous, is the son of a small schoolmaster, and was born in the neighbourhood of Coventry, in the year 1804. There is, however, no pretext for the allegation that his father was tutor to the Earl of Dysart ; nor does there appear to be any better foundation for his assertion that he is a regularly educated medical man. According to his own ac count, as detailed in a boarding-house where he lii7ed, he married his present wife from feelings of gratitude for her attention to him when ill, during the period of his career as a medical student; but there is no proof that he originally was more than a chemist, or possesses a higher professional degree than that of the Apothecaries' Company and a Ger man degree (Giessen) of doubtful merit. He un doubtedly, however, carried on medical practice at Stockwell, Camberwell, and various places adjoining London. But it was at Ramsgate where he practised longest, and was best known. He carried on business there for several years, and it is but fair to add that, except as being considered somewhat close-fisted and fond of money, he bore a tolerably respect able character. After residing there for some time be quitted for Germany, with the double view of placing himself under the celebrated hydropathist Priessnitz, for the purpose of obtaining relief from a lameness with which he was afflicted, and of ac quiring a sufficient knowledge of the system to enable him to practise it.
