LAW INTEL. THIS DAY.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE STEVENS. This bankrupt was described as a stock and share broker, of the Royal Exchange, &c., and to-day applied for his certificate, the consideration of which had been adjourned to this day. Mr. Chidley, solicitor, for the assignees, said he did no appear to oppose the case. Mr. Linklater, for the bankrupt, said that he did not be lieve that there was any real intention to oppose. Mr. Lucas, as counsel, and Mr. Muliens, appeared for creditors, who, however, were not present, the severity of the weather being alleged in excuse. Mr. Linklater said that the whole matter bad been before the court—every opportunity had been given for opposition —and he therefore asked for an immediate cettificate. His Honour—l think, under all the circumstances, and the lapse of time from the date of the petition, the bank rupt should take an immediate certificate of the second class. SHOREDITCH COUNTY COURT. (Before Mr. Darcy.) JENKINS V. MYER-IVIIOLESALE AND RETAIL. Mr. Sorrell, of Mark-lane, appeared on the part of the plaintiff in support of a judgment summons against the de fendant. Mr. Sorrell said that plaintiff was a wholesale cigar manufacturer, and defendant was a retail tobacconist, and cigars had been supplied in April last to the value of £9 los. Defendant alleged as a reason why he had not paid was that he could not get in his debts. Mr. Sorrell—lt was strictly a cash transaction. Defendant—How can I pay if I am not paid ? His Honour—lf you choose to give credit you must take the consequences. You must make your gentlemen debtors pay you. You obtain goods on a bargain for cash, then sell them at a profit, and leave the cash creditor to wait till you get your debts in. Is that fair ?, Defendant—Oh, I wish my solicitor was here. His Honour—You said so at first, but what could a soli citor do for you—you admit the debt—the only question is how can you pay ? Defendant—A pound a month. Mr. Sorrell—Your honour has held that in cases between wholesale and retail dealers, where the goods had been had for cash or on terms not complied with, you would make an ordor for immediate payment. After some discussion his honour ordered the costs, £3, to be paid in a fortnight, and the debt by three monthly pay ments. POLICE INTELLIGENCE_ (THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SERIOUS DAMAGE AT PUBLICANS'.—Maria Hennesey, a voilent old flshwoman, and Margaret Barrett, were charged with smashing three panes of glass, of the value of £5, at the house of Mr. Edward Manning, the King's Head, Broad-street, St. Giles's. Mr. Manning said that about a quarter to ten on the previous night he heard a smash at his window, and this was followed by a second, and before he could get outside he heard a third. On getting outside he found the prisoner Hennesey with a crutch in her hand. He told her she had broken his windows, and she then tried to strike him with the crutch, but he managed to get it away from her. He then found that three panes of plate glass, of the value of £5 or £6, were smashed. The other prisoner was along with Hennesey at the time, but he did not think she had broken either of the panes. Hennessy, in a very rough, savage manner, said she knew nothing about it—he must have broken them him self. Barrett said she recollected nothing of it—she had been drinking. At the suggestion of Mr. Bingham, Mr. Manning put the damage at £5. Mr. Bingham said that publicans must be protected, and ordered Hennesoy to pay £5, or two months; the other to be discharged. Hennesey, in an insolent manner, said if it were five farthings she would not pay it. Mary Hill was also charged with breaking a pane of glass in the window of the King's Arms, 264, Orford-street the property of Mr. C. Hancock, the value of the same be ing £2. Ordered to pay the damage, or be committed for a month. THAMES. ANNOYING THE RECTOIL OF WHITECRAPEL.—Marpret Kelly, a dissipated-looking creature, aged 19, of No. 5, Mill-lane, Deptford, was charged with annoying the Rev. W. A. Champneys, the popular rector of Whitechapel, and violently knocking at his door, and ringing his bell without lawful excuse. The rev, complainant, who had signed the charge-sheet, did not appear, and the prisoner was at once discharged. It appeared that the prisoner went to the Whitechapel rectory 'house last night at a late hour, after the family had retired to rest, and knocked loudly at tho front and side doors, and also rang the bell. On being asked her business, she set up a mostdismal howling, and said her poor mother, who was living in Brick-lane, Whitechapel, was dying, and implored of the rev. gentleman to accompany her to her dwelling and administer spiritual consolation to her parent. The rev, gentleman, with that promptness for which ho has always been distinguished, immediately dressed himself and went to the house named by the prisoner, and ascer tained that no person named Kelly was living there, and that the prisoner's story was a falsehood. The rector im mediately gave the prisoner into custody for annoying him and knocking at his door without lawful excuse, but from motives of humanity refused to appear against her this morning. Gross impositions have been practised on the Rev. Mr. Chautpneys, who is a most benevolent and 'zeal ous clergyman, and it is to be hoped the next offender who subjects him to annoyance will be prosecuted and punished. FEES TO INTERPRETERS.—J oaquira Gonsalves Reis, a Portuguese boy, aged 16, and belonging to a foreign ship in the London Dock, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with assaulting Henry Mansell, a lighterman, by striking him with a bar, and attempting to stab him with a knife; and Andrea Guisepppe, a Spanish seaman, of the barque Pepita Bonita, was charged with stealing some dupli cates. There was no prosecutor in either case, but Dr. Meldola, a linguist, who said he had been directed by the police to attend and interpret the evidence, asked for his fees. Mr. Yardley—Your office has been a sinecure this morn ing. I will allow you one fee of 6.3. Dr. Meldola—Sometimes, sir, the oases have been very long ones. kr. Yardley—lt is very easy for me to be generous, but I am a trustee of the public funds, and am bound to be careful. I can allow you one fee, and you will earn that very easily this day. Dr. Meldola—l am satisfied, your worship. Mr. Yardley—l am glad to hear it. EXCITING SCENE AT DARTFORD. The quiet town of Dartford was yesterday the scene of great excitement, and the whole place bore the appearance of festivities common to some general public rejoicing. At the Bell Inn, kept by one Hendon, a cash box was hung out of the window, at the end of a barber's pole, garnished on either side by a leg of mutton. Windows were thrown up and handkerchiefs waved and there appeared to be a public holiday. It turned out that all these proceedings arose out of a case heard at the District Court before Mr. Aspinasa (Noble v. Hendon). Plaintiff alleged that he was the present treasurer of the lieform Benefit Society, and on behalf of the members he now sought to recover IS odd, monies in the hands of defendant, the alleged late treasurer. It appeared that on the 13th September last a meeting was called at defendant's house (The Bell) to consider two questions, one respecting a monetary transaction in refer ence to some music, and another concerning the holding of an ensuing anniversary. After these items were disposed of it was proposed that the society should be removed from lefendant's house, and this proposition was declared to have been carried, plaintiff being elected treasurer. In answer to Mr. Buchanan, of London, plaintiff admitted that Mr. Hendon was the father of the society and had been the promulgator of it. He also admitted that the meeting had been specially called to consider the two items above mentioned. Mr. Buchanan then contended, on behalf of defendant, that the proceedings of plaintiff and his party were contrary to the spirit of the law upon such matters. No notice had been given to the general body of members that such a motion would be brought forward, and it was important to the public that the illegality of these private coups d'etat should be shown by a legal decision. The learned Judga was of opinion that Hendon was still treasurer. (At this declaration defendant waved his arm in the air, and Mr. Buchanan had enough to do to check his exuberance of spirits.) The proceedings of plaintiff and his party had been illegal, and if theythen wished to remove defendant from his post and the society from his house they must do it in the regular way and not by a side wind. The whole body of the members must have notice of the motion, and it must be properly brought forward. Plaintiff must be nonsuited and pay all the costs, including those of defen dant's attorney. Defendant and his party then set up a cheer that made the welkin ring; and Mr. Hendon, in a ♦ery extravagant manner, successfully completed the destruction of a new hat ho had purchased for the occasion. Mr. Buchanan, who was attended by a procession, and cheered by a large crowd all the way to the railway station, declared that they " did these things much more quietly in London." ECCLESIASTICAL APPOINTM ENT.—The Lord Bishop of London has appointed the Rev. E.

Trimmer, B.A. The perpetual curacy of Holy Trinity, St. Pancras (tliuS void by the cession), is in the gift of the Rev. Canon Dale, as vicar of St, Pahcras. CASE OF THE REV. MR. BONWELL INQUIRY THIS DAY. This morning the commission directed by the Bishop of London to inquire into the allegations against the Rev. Mr. Bonwell, was opened at Doctors'-commons. The com missioners present were Dr. Travers Twiss, Chancellor of the Diocese ; Archdeacon Hale, the Rev. Canon Dale, Vicar of St. Pancras ; the Rev. W. G. Humphrey, B.D Vicar of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields ; and the Rev. J. E. Kempe, Vicar of St. James's, Westminster. Mr. Coleridge and Mr. H. Buller appeared on the part of the Bishop of London. The Bishop of London's commission was then read. It set out that as a scandal and evil report existed against the Rev. Mr. Bonwell, incumbent' of St. Philip's Church, Stepney, to the effect that he had a temporary sleeping apartment in the school attached to Stepney Church, and that he there harboured an unmarried female, who was in August last delivered of a female child, of which he was the reputed father; it was, therefore, desirable that such scandal should be fully inquired into. Mr. Sorrell applied for a postpontrient of the inquiry, on the ground that Mr. Best, the barrister who was retained for the Rev. Mr. Bonwell, was at present unable to attend, he being engaged at Worcester. Archdeacon Hale, as president of the court, said as all the witnesses were present, he could not allow the inquiry to be adjourned. Mr. Sorrell theta made an application that the inquiry might be taken ir, private, as no good end could be attained by a report or the proceedings appearing before the report of the commissioners was made. Archdeacon Hale said, as it was a public scandal, the pro ceedings would be conducted openly. Mr. Coleridge then proceeded to open the proceedings, and gave a brief outline of the charges which he should be prepared to prove in evidence. He sail the Rev. Mr. Bon well was incumbent of St. Philip's, Stepney, and was married, and his wife kept a ladies' seminary at 33, Thornhill-crescent, Islington. Mr. Bonwell had a room temporarily fitted up in a building used as a school-house near St: Philip's Church, and he was fre quently to be met with there. The intimacy with Miss Yorath commenced when aim was on a visit to Miss Aimes, at Margate. The conduct of Mr. Bonwell was of a very marked description. He 'was seen to kiss her, and it was afterwards given out by Mr. Bonwell that ho was a widower, and shortlyafterwardsjlaid siege to Miss Yorath's affections, to which it must be remarked sho was nothing loath. Things went on in this way for some time, when Mt, Bonwell returned to London. He (Mr. Coleridge) was inpossession of a letter from Miss Yorath to Miss Aimes, in which she gave an account of her visit to London and the conduct of Mr. Bonwell. [The letter was then read. It set out the manner in which Miss Yorath was visiting theatres with Mr. Bonwell, and that while she was in London she was stopping with a Mrs. Jones, a lady living at St. John's-wood.] The statement that Miss Yoratt was sleeping with Mrs. Jones he should be able to prove was not true. In May, 1859, Miss Yorath again visited Miss Aimes at Margate, when she found Miss Yorath was unwell. She quitted the house, but told Miss Aimes who was the father of her child, and that he well knew of her situation. At Newport, the place of residence of Miss Yorath's family, it became whispered that Mr. Bonwell was not a single man, but on the contrary married. Mr. Lewis Yorath, the brother of the lady, wrote to him telling him of the rumour, but Mr. Bonwell wrote to him a letter, stating it was a base fabrication. The correspondence be- tween Mr. Yorath continued, in which Mr. Bonwell strongly denied all the rumours of his being married, and informing Mr. Yorath that he might go to the Bishop of London, but that if ho had any filial affection he would bitterly repent such a step. Mr. Bonwell subsequently visited Newport whore he thought he should be able to prove that Mr. Bonwell was in the habit of gone into Miss Yorath's sleeping apartment. In consequence of these circumstances Mr. Bonwell went to the Bishop of London's residence in August, and he did not deny the im propriety of passing as an unmarried man and making love to the lady. The Bishop wrote on. the 11th, asking if he felt disposed to have an inquiry into the charges against him. No answer was returned to the com munication. The Bishop's secretory then wrote, ancl a reply came from Mr. Bonwell. On the 25th the bi , ,,itop wrote to Mr. Bonwell, reprimanding him; and on the 27th his lordship got a letter making more serious eharges against the rev. gentleman. Shortly after this a gentleman took lodgings at Islington, :ini the house of a lira. Glennie, for a lady, and gave a card, on which, was the name of Bonwell. The lady came, and Mrs. Glennie will be called before the court, and 'Eale will state that the linen of the lady was maexed "E. Yorath." This lady passed as Mrs. Harvey, end the Rev. Mr. Bonwell was in the habit of constantly visiting her, but he did not sleep there. On one ecttasion Miss Yorath's mother arrived from Newport, and there recognised Mrs. Harvey as her daughter Elizabeth. Miss Yoratt was far advanced in pregnancy, and in a short time afterwards a nurse was procured for the lady, and a Mrs. Carney was present at the delivery of a male child at the school-house in Stepney. Dr. Godfrey attended the lady during the time she was unwell. The child died, and was buried at Ilford Cemetery in a coffin in which was another body. The Rev. Mr. Bonwell made all the arrangements for the funeral, and paid all the charges. In consequence of certain statements Mr. linmphery, the coroner, procured the disinterment of the body, and an inquest was held, and a verdict censuring the conduct of Mr. Bonwell was agreed to. Miss. Yorath was not exa mined at that inquisition, and it was to be regretted that she was not in attendance that day, as all endeavours to discover ber;residencehad failed. Her mother did not know, as she would state in evidence, but that the Rev. Mr. Bonwell knew her retreat was evident from this fact. On the 6th of October an advertisement appeared in the Times to the following effect :—" To E. Y. Write me a few lines to say that you are well. 1 am at the same plate. Always the same, unchanged—James." This advertisement, he should be able to prove, was in the handwriting of Mr. Bonwell. To strengthen that a second letter was written to the Times, complaining that the advertisement had been in correctly published, viz., that the letter "y" should not have been published. This letter was also in the hand writing of Mr. Bonwell. The charges against Mr. Bon well were three. They:charged him with committing adul tery—with being the father of the child—and that ho had so conducted himself in such a manner at the birth and burial of the child as to bring great scandal on the Church. The learned gentleman concluded his speech by calling upon Mr. Bonwell to disprove the charges against him, but in the event of the charges being substan. tiated the severest punishment might be inflicted. Mr. Humphrey, the coroner, then produced a copy of the notes of the inquest held at Stepney, which opened on the 17th September, and concluded on thel7th October. Miss Georgiana Aimes—l lam granddaughter to Major Watts. I have been acquainted with Miss Yorath for two years. I know Mr. and Mrs. Robinson. In the month of October I went to tea there. Mr. Bonwell and a gentle man named Atkins were there. Miss Yorath was there. He paid her very marked attention. I saw him afterwards walking with her. Mr. Bonwell subsequently visited my grandfather as the accepted lover of Miss Yore& I did not know that he described himself as a widower. but it was thought he was. I never heard him talk of mar riage to her, but he once said to me, " What a nice brides maid I should make." I have noticed them sitting on the sofa. He has had his arms round her waist. Miss Yorath left my grandfather's house in December, to go to her own home. I received the letter put into my hand [the letter read by the learned counsel]. I have had correspondence with her up to May. On the Bth of June I saw Miss Yorath, and perceived that she was in a state of pregnancy. I spoke to Mrs. Robinson ahout it, and she left on the 9th. I said that I thought Bonwell was a wretch, and he ought to marry her. She loft our house very shortly after by train for London. Cross-examined by Mr. Sorrell—l have not seen her since; I don't where she is now. Mr. Bonwell never left her the whole of the evening, and addressed the whole of his conversation to her. This I call marked attention. Mr. Bonwell always was looked upon as a widower. He spoke of his little boy to Mrs. Robinson. I was present when he mentioned the child. I cannot exactly say when he said :he was a widower, but I know he said he was. I cannot exactly say when or where, but lam confident he said so. Miss Yorath told me Mr. Bonwell was her accepted suitor. Ho never told me that he was, but she did so. I have not corresponded with Miss Yorath since. I era here in consequence of the directions of Mr. Smith, the Bishop's solicitor., By Dr. Twiss—Miss Aimes left Margate on the Ist of September. Mr. Bonwell left before that. I never saw him afterwards. Mrs. Ann Robinson—l reside at Margate, and with my husband. We knew Mr. Bonwell. On the 9th of Sep tember Mr. Bonwell came to dine with us. I knew Miss Aimes and Miss Yorath. I invited them to tea. That was the first meeting of Miss Yorath and Mr. Bonwell. He appeared very attentive to Miss Yorath He seemed to admire her very much. In about a fortnight after this they visited our house as accepted lovers. Mr. Bonwell represented himself to me as a widower. I did not know he was a married man. If I had known him a married man, I should consider his conduct most disgrace ful. He preached a sermon at Margate on Sunday—it was on " Charity and Love." He dined with us afterwards. I did not see Miss Yorath after this, as she had left Margate until about the following May. It was at Miss Aimes's house. There was then no doubt of her pregnancy. Mr. Coleridge—Did she tell you the name of the father of the child P Witness—She did not. I asked her if Mr. Bonwoll knew of her condition, and she said ho did. I informed her that Mr. Bonwell was the father of the child. Mr. Sorrell—But she never said he was. Witness—No. When I asked her if Mr. Bonwell knew of her condition, she said, "Of course he did." In Feb. I and Mr. Bonwoll were stopping at the London Hotel. He showed me a miniature. It was Miss Yorath. It was very like her. Cross-examined—At the dinner table, in my presence, he said he was a widower, and that his wife had been dead 12 months. As far as I recollect he said his wife. He described to my mamma his wife's death. I was led to be- Here he was speaking of his own wife during the conver sation. Mr. Lewis Wm. Yorath—l am a surgeon in practice at Newport, Monmouth. My father was a clergyman of the Church of England ; he died in 1852, leaving a large family. Elizabeth Yorath is my eldest sister; she had never been married. In December, 1858, my mother was living with me. At the end of last year Mr. Bonwell came to Newport and remained about a week. At that time I had a servant named Sarah Jones. I previously had heard from my sister that she was engaged to Mr. Bonwell. When. Mr. Bon well came he told me he was engaged to my sister. lie told me he was incumbent of St. Philips, Stepney, a fellow of Brazenose College, and a widower, and referred to the clergy list that what he said was correct, and then he was received as the accepted lover of my sister. After that he used to come over about once a month, which was broken off in June. My sister and Mr. Bonwell used to sit up alone at night with my sister. Ho used to smoke his pipe after the family had gone to bed. I gave him up my bedroom. It is on the same floor as the dining-room. Mr. Sorrell objected to proof of adultery in Monmouth. Mr. Coleridge—lf I omit to prove adultery in the diocese of London, of course I shall fail. [ Examination resumed--I once remonstrated with Mr. Bonwell upon his sitting up so late, and insisted on his going to bed earlier. He only laughed, and said they were talking about love. lie gave me a description of his • wife's death. After he had visited us some time the marriage was fixed to come off in June or July. My sister prepared her wedding clothes. He said his good friend the Bishop of Oxford would perform the ceremony. He went in May, and then I heard reports that he was a married man. I wrote to him in consequence, asking him to contradict the report, or else to produce the certificate of the burial of his first wife. He told me his first wife's name was Albertina. I received the letters you read in your opening speech, telling me to go tho Bishop. Mr. Bonwell told me ho came from Yorkshire. I recollect my sister being with Miss Aimes in September. I wrote to her to come home, but I received a letter telling me she was going to remain in London. I recollect in De cember, Mr. Bonwell told me he had taken my sister to the school at which his little boy was, and had asked him how ho should like her for a mother, and the child said, " Very well." Ido net know at the present where my sister is. She left my mother's house about a month ago, without leaving any trace of her whereabouts. Cross-examined —I have sat up joking with Mr. Bon well rather late. We have had whiskey together. I call late between twelve and one o'clock, but my sister has remained up until between two and three. My sister was generally later going to bed when Mr. Bon well was there. Mr. Bonwell fixed the time of marriage himself. Miss Evans's have heard him also state the same thing. I know he mentioned the Bishop of Oxford as the person who would celebrate the marriage. In May he fixed the wedding. He came purposely to tell me, and gave directions for the:ceremony. He was constantly talking how soon ho would marry my sister. On one occasion he offered to bet me £lO that he would marry my sister the next day. This was before the wedding was fixed for June or July. I said nothing to induce him to make the statement, but he came in from a long walk, and said he had that moment left the Chancellor, and that the wedding was to be fixed the next morning. That was before we had the whisky. lie told • me in the evening that my sister would not marry so hastily, as she was not prepared to marry next morning. I am positive my sister got some of her things ready for the wedding. I never asked Mr. Bonwell his position, but he told me voluntarily. I am positive he told me he was a widower. My mother was present when he said ho would be married the next morning. [Tho case was proceeding whop we went to press.] EDINBURGH UNIVISITE The first meeting of the, new court which is to administer the affairs bf the University of Edin burgh was held on - Monday. Mr. Gladstone, the rector, presided, and all the other members were present—nanKly, President Sir David Brewster, Sir John *Melville, the Lord Provost, Dr. John Brown, Bailie Grieve, Mr. Solicitor-General, and Professor Christison. The sitting, which was held in private, lasted four hours, and the principal busi ness was the choice of three of the seven curators who are to exercise the patronage formerly held by the Town Council. The curators chosen were Mr. Gladstone, the Solicitor-General, and Mr. David Mure, M.P. In the evening the Lord Provost entertained Mr. Gladstone and the other members of the University Court to dinner. Lord Neeves, Lord Ardmillan, Dean Ramsay, the Rev. Dr. Candlish, the Rev. Professor Craw ford, Professor Simpson, and other eminent citizens were of the party. On Tuesday the Town Council met for the election of the remaining four curators, whom the Act leaves in their nomination, in lieu of their former right of patronage. Considerable dis cussion took place as to whether the curators should be chosen from within or without the council. The dominant section adopied the former course, and nominated four members of their own party-- namely, Bailie Johnston ;Mr. Fyfe, Capt. Peat, and Mr. Mood. There were proposed, on the other hand, by members of the minority, Colonel Mure, Mr, Adam Black, M.P., Mr. Robert Chambers, and Mr. John Hunter; Sir John Melville and Dr. Schmitz were likewise named. It was also proposed by the minority, as a com promise, to elect from within the council, and to substitute the name of Bailie Forrester for one of those on the first list, or to elect partly from within and partly without the council. After several hours' discussion the following names were voted on :—Bailie Johnston, 38; Mr. Fyfe, 31 ; Captain Peat, 21; Mr. Mood, 21; Mr. Black, M.P., 19 ; Mr. Duncan M'Laren, 19; and Bailie Forrester, 13. Two subsequent divisions were taken, drop ping off the last on the list, but the result was the election of the four first named. The consequence of the vote is to confine the municipal element in the curatorial court to one section of the municipal body—a result which will certainly create a great amount of ,dissatisfaction, both in and beyond the city. The first duty of the new curators will be to elect a Professor of Natural Philosophy, in the room of Mr. J. D. Forbes, who on Saturday last was inducted into office as Principal of the United College of St. Andrew's. SINGULAR ACCIDENT IN A FRENCH THEATRE. The _Mare de la Loire of Nantes gives the fol lowing account of a singular accident and lucky escape :—An accident of a singular nature the con sequences of which might have been deplorable, has sensibly affected the numerous spectators attracted to the Salle Graslin by the third performance of an unpublished play entitled the Chateau de Clisson. About the end of the second act, a youth of seven teen, dressed in a blouse and trousers, by trade a eurrier, Rene Tessier by name, livinn , at Nantes, Place du Port-Communeau with his father, having gone out, returned, and wanted to resume his former seat in the front row of the fourth gallery on the right side and facing the stage. But, instead of placing his leg cautiously over the upper bench he leant abruptly forward towards the railing, which he thought he should lay hold of. This support he missed, his hands slipped along the velvet of the rim, and the poor fellow found himself pit c h e d for ward by his own impetus. The reader knows the usual construction of a theatre; the projections of the galleries recede from the base to the summit, so that any heavy object in falling from the fourth could hardly reach the pit. The best chance for Tessier would have been owing to this arrangement, to make a perpendicular fall and alight on some padded rim below, so as to remain within the en closed tier. This perhaps would have hap pened if there had been more empty seats in the salle than was the case. In his fall Tessier did in fact hit against the soldier, Alphonse Bretel, shoemaker to the supernumerary company of the 76th, who was seated in the third gallery ; then he fell against the head of a woman in the second, the wife of M. Hortion, carpenter; then he brushed past the officer on duty, who was seated beneath in the last arm-chaired bench to the right of the front boxes, and in this way the youth was precipitated a distance of several metres. By an extraordinary chance Tessier, whose arms and legs were stretched out, and who, as persons who saw him during his frightful fall say, looked like a man swimming horizontally through space, found him self quickly seated on one of the front benches of the pit near the orchestra, exactly on a spot which had been vacated between the acts, and in which he made his appearance like a messenger from the sky, having merely grazed the foot of the person sitting next to him. The general satisfaction may be easily imagined; it became yet greater when it was ascertained that the young workman had sustained no fracture. Being carried out to the café of the theatre, Tessier was able to sit upon a stool, his arms crossed on a table, and his head resting upon his arms. Doctors Charvau and Hignard came and examined him ; they only found a bruize about the size of a florin. Being asked how he was, Tessier said that all the pain he felt was in his thighs. When they talked of removing him to the hospital, he h a d the strength to rise by him self, but soon fell back again, and he had to be placed on a stretcher. The soldier Bretel was in the meantime brought into the café ; he was still quite stunned by the shock he had. received, and was very pale and haggard. As he at first spat a little blood, it was thought there was some internal injury. Such was, however, not the case. He had merely bitten his own tongue, and his state was not of a nature to cause anxiety. Madame Hortion escaped with a contusion on the back of her neck and a bump upon her head." VOL UN TE_ER CORPS. LONDON IRISH. Yesterday a communication was received by Mr. Dempsy, the hon. secretary of this corps, from Lord Gough, signifying his Lordship's intention of join ing the council and co-operating for the general welfare of the movement.
