ONE HUNDRED POUNDS REWARD ON CONVICTION. The fearful dangers to invalids from spurious imitations of DU BARRY's invaluable HEALTH-RESTORING REVA LENTA ARABICA FOOD led to an investigation, and, upon application in 1854 for protection, the High Court of Chancery granted an injunction restraining Alfred Hooper Nevin, and his agents, under a penalty of £5,000, from selling any article resembling or being a colourable imitation of Du Barry's Revalents Arabica, of which we are the sole pro prietors. Now, therefore, this is to give notice that the above reward will be paid, upon conviction, to anyone giving infor mation ot any breach of the injunction. An intelligent public requires no admonition to shun all shopkeepers who may attempt impositions.

By F. B. COURTENAY, And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure'of Strictures of tlie Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional 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 various kinds 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 to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

It was a huge hoUse, but my uncle had a large family—l e anuo t sa y h ow many .children, and he also had a governess. I spoke to Mr. Wiekings, m y so li c it or , an d t o M r . Cunliffe, my father's executor, about my father's affairs, and I was told by them that my father died in debt, but I do not know how or why he was in debted. I do not remember Mr. Cunliffe tell ing me that he was obliged to swear my father's assets under £3,000, but I wished to know from him where my father's property was gone, and how it.had gone. I believe Mr. Wickings to be a gentleman very high in his profession, and I recollect having heard that Mr. Wingate, of the firm of Wingate and Co. and solicitor to the exe cutors, had investi g ated the accounts for the execu tors, and that there was not a penny for any one. I believe Mr. Wingate also to be a very respectable man in his profession, but to the best of my recol lection he did not,show me, a balance-sheet. I have had the story dinned into my ears, not only by the two solicitors, but by Mr. Cunliffe, one of the exe cutors, that they had looked into the accounts and found that there was not only not any property left by my father, but that he died largely in debt. That account had been dinned into my ears for the last ten years, but I was not satisfied with that answer. A Juror—That is right. The Lord Chief Justice—That, Mr. Bovill, is not the question which we are trying. The Foreman of the Jury—That is the point, my , lord. We have not had any evidence, not one par ticle, to establish the insanity of the plaintiff ; it has not been shown—not at all—and unless the defendants can adduce something different we can not much longer stand this. The Lord Chief Justice—lt is quite right that they should confine themselves to that. [Mr. James here put in the will of plaintiff's father, wherein he bequeathed, amongst other be quests, a sum of £5,000 to him, not of the, money or estate of the firm, but property unconnecfed with it ; and the will appointed plaintiff's uncle James a trustee, for the purposes of the testator's will.] This closed the examination of the plaintiff. Mr. Charles Read was then examined by Mr. James, and he said—l am a fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford. Mr: James—Yes, my lord, and author of White Lies, and Never too Late to Mend, well-known tales that appeared in the London . Journal. (Laughter.) How long have you been'acquainted with Mr. Fletcher ? Mr. Read—l became acquainted with him shortly after he came out of the asylum; and he has since been dependent upon me and upon the Rev. Mr. Gibbons for his support. He told me he had large claims to property, and I told him to put the matter in Chancery, and recommended him to submit his papers to Doctors Routledge and Dixon, the latter of whom is author of " Fallacies of the Faculty." (Laughter.) Dr. John Morgan, examined by Mr. Lush, said, _ . I visited Mr. Fletcher in the lunatic asylum, and expressed my opinion that he was not a fit subject to be confined in such a place. I visited him again, and on that occasion I discussed his case with Dr. Wood,•and told him I thought it was hardly a case for a lunatic asylum. He gave me the history of his attacks. I wrote to Colonel Fletcher, his uncle, who is defendant in this action, shortly after my first visit on the subject, and detailed the circum stances of my visit, saying that I thought, although there were some things that might render it desir able to have medical supervision, yet I thought that might be better done, under the care of a medical man in the country than in a lunatic asylum. The letter from Dr. Morgan to Colonel Fletcher was heie put in, and in it he said he was not aware of Mr. Fletcher having been addicted to drink. Having expressed an opinion that he believed care would bring him about, the letter concluded by saying, ho believed, in his conscience, Mr. Fletcher was not a subject for confinement in a lunatic asylum. Colonel Fletcher's . answer was also put in, and stated that he had first heard of his nephew's state of mind from a medical man, in Orchard-street, who once attended him. The letter then referred to the epileptic fits which Mr. Fletcher was sub ject to, and said, looking at all the circumstances, he (Colonel Fletcher) should, were Mr. Fletcher his own son, have taken the same course in relation to him, in placing him in an asylum; and as to not removing him from Dr. Wood's asylum, that was a step which he should take the responsibility of upon himself. The Lord Chief Justice—lt was more in refer ence to his habits of hard drinking, and to the attacks of epilepsy which such habits were calcu lated to bring on, than to his state of mind, that I alluded when I said I thought it advisable ti at he should be placed under some careful medical super vision in the country ; but as related to his state of mind, I never saw anything in it that could induce me to think his case was one fit for D. lunatic asylum. Mr. Bovill—Those fits that you speak of were not epilepsy at all. The'Lord Chief Justice—What do you call them? Mr. Bovill—Well, really I don't know. (Laugh ter.) I think they call them maniacal. ; To wit ness—ln your opinion, what is the state of his mind? Dr. Morgan—From the evidence you have heard here to-day from him T think you can form a cor rect opinion. (Laughter.) A Juror—That's good. The Lord Chief Justice—Did Dr. Wood describe his case to you ? Dr. Morgan—Yes, he described it very clearly to me, in a manner leading me to suppose that the plaintiff's ailment was rather one of nervous affec tion than of disturbed mind. The trial was adjourned at this stage of the Proceedings, and will be resumed to-morrow (this aay.) The plaintiff was five hours and a half under ex amination. CRIIIIINAL COURT, July 7. NEW COURT: (Before Mr, Justice (Wightinan.) John Bardoe, 32, seaman, was indicted for cut ting and wounding Charles Oliver, with intent. Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Gent prosecuted ; Mr. Sleigh, instructed by Col. Hughes, the Secretary of the Asiatic Home and Strangers' Friend Society, appeared to defend the prisoner, a quiet and intel ligent-looking negro. Mr. Metcalfe, having briefly stated the case, called Mr. Maggi, who said that he was in business as a shipchandlor at 21, Minories. He had a customer, one Captain Coppelo, a native of Genoa, and about the end of April he came to him and bought some goods, and then said that he had a black seaman, whom he had left sick on board the Dread nought hospital-ship, and that he wished to have him again ; he asked him if he would let the negro come to his house, and stay until the Guinea, another vessel belonging to Captain Copello, came to the port of London, and then, if the seaman had no objection, ship him on board that vessel. About the end of May the prisoner was brought to the house, where he was told he could stay if he liked, and not otherwise. The prisoner asked him if he was a slave, and witness said "No," and if he suited him he might stay. He did so for a few days, at the end of which he became ill, and refus ed to come out of a room wh ich he occu p ied, sa ying that he was too ill, when w itness wanted hi m to do so, telling him that he wanted to take h im to the hospital, but he refused, and barricaded the door of the room. He would not take any food. wi tness's wife used to attend to him.

She-used to take him food, but he would not take it, or come out of the room. She wanted him to go to the hos pital. She sent for a cab, and then he barricaded the door. She thought him mad, and sent, to the relieving overseer; that was on the evening of the 27th of May. The door of the room was afterwards forced, and prisoner then-cut his way through ti.e roof. This witness admitted she had been to the board ing-house spoken of to see if the prisoner could be received there, but denied that she had made any arrangements for them to take him. She had heard at that house that such men as the , prisoner might be bought in his own country for two and six pence, but she never heard that he had been bought or offered for sale at Genoa. She sent two cabmen up to him to get him to go with them to the hos pital, if he pleased. When he got upon the roof she said she would give 10s. to any one who would fetch him down. Her retnaining evidence went to show that when the poor fellow got on the roof a regular hunt took place, an d, to use the words of one witness, he was " started" from his hiding-place with various missiles, and a large crowd assembling, the p a ego up, and a f ter t h e pro secutor,had struck a t hi m , fi rs t c Ci werety constable, asked with his staff and then with an inspector's stick, he got out on the roof, and prisoner, who had a knife, attacked and stabbed him in a great many places; he was then surrounded and beaten before they could get him off. the house. He was then taken into custody, and, as one of the constables said, pre tended to be insensible. The statement of the pri soner when at the Mansion-house, that he had been sold to Copello, who tried to sell him again, was then put in and read. He there stated that he had been hunted by so many that he thought he was again going to be taken back to slavery. Mr. Sleigh made a most energetic appeal to the jury, contending that the interference of the police was not strictly legal, and that the prisoner had only acted in his own defence. The learned Judge, in summing up, commented upon the manner in which Maggi and his wife had given their evidence, and, pointing out to the jury the unhappy condition of the prisoner, told them that if they thought the prisoner had done no more than he thought was necessary to protect himself from being taken on board ship to be .returned to slavery, it was their duty to acquit him. The jury immediately returned a verdict of not guilty, which was followed by a loud • and hearty burst of applause, which was not rebuked by his Lordship. _ His Lordship said that the society - . had acted most praiseworthily in taking up the prisoner's de fence, and that the City had done their duty in prosecuting'the case. - Mr. Sleigh said it was through the exertions of Colonel Hughes that the defence had been got up. The foreman of the jury said they had no doubt but that it was intended to kidnap the man. GREAT NORTICULTURAL GARDEN AT 13ROMPTON. One of the most important meetings which ever the Hortichitural Society held took place yesterday in the rooms of the Society of Arts, John-street, Adelphi, for the purpose of considering the accept ance f'rom the Royal CornmissiOners of the Exhibition of 1851 of% an offer of 20 acres-of land between Brompton and Kensington-gore, for the purpose of constructing a horticultural summer and winter garden in that highly influential locality. The chair was taken by the Earl of Ducie, and among the noblemen and gentlemen present were the Duke of Leinster, Sir John Ramsden, Mr. Heywood, Sir Peter Pole, Mr. Wentworth Dilke, Mr. Cole, Mr. H. G. Bohn, Mr. Pownall, chairman of the Mid dlesex Sessions, Colonel Challoner, Dr. Conolly, Dr. Hogg, &c. The noble chairman- having opened the proceedings by a brief re:iew of the history and decline of the society, and the necessity of some thing being done to resuscitate it by obtaining a more commodious plot of ground in the immediate vicinity of London than that at Chiswick, called upon Dr. Lindley. He stated the conditions upon which the Commissioners would grant the land to the society, which were as follows :—Between the two roads already named there is a plot of ground of about 20 acres, and it is proposed to convert it into a horticultural establishment, having summer and winter gardens, with Italian arcades, at a cost of £lOO,OOO. The Commissioners agree to provide £50,000 and the Horticultural Society £50,000. The society will not be called on to pay any rent except on the following conditions : After the society has paid all the expenses, which will include interest at 5 per cent. on £50,000 deben ture stock, and £l,OOO a-year for the management of a portion of Chiswick grounds as an experimental garden, any surplus that may be left will go for rent up to a certain point. Should the profits reach the sum of £2,000, the society claim that as rent, or any smaller sum ; but should there be small profits, or no profits at all, the Commissioners will be content, and every year's income will satisfy the rental claims. Should, however, the profits go beyond £2,000 a-year, the super-surplus is to be equally divided between the Royal Commissioners and the Horticultural Society. The lease to be granted for 31 years, after which period the whole of the pre mises revert to the Commissioners. Dr. Lindley explained the plan of the proposed - garden terraces, and directed the attention of the meeting to a series of very beautiful drawings and photographs of the proposed designs. Mr. W. Dilke read a long list of the nobility and gentry of the surrounding locality who expressed their desire to render every pecuniary support to the scheme. The matter was very fully discussed, and the Council of the society was em powered to carry on the negotiations, and the fol lowing letter was read from his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, which elicited the most enthu siastic cheers, and also one from the Royal Com missioners containing the proposed terms : " Buckingham Palace, July 7. "My Lord,—l have received the Commands of her Ma jesty the Queen, and of his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, to inform you that in the event of the plan being carried out for the establishment of the garden of the Hor ticultural Society of London upon the estate at Southlien sington, belonging to the Royal Commissioners of the Exhibition of 1851, it is the intention of her Majesty and of his Royal Highness to make donations towards the exe cution of this undertaking of £l,OOO and £5OO respectively.

Two years of unremitting care and attention have enabled its inventor to take high ground as a benefactor to these interests ; and notwithstand ing the many drawbacks, the malevolent shafts hurled a b mainst it and its probable utility, the food, from its admitted va lue, will become a nec ess i ty to the agricultural interest. saving es preyed, first, th a t it e ff ects a cons id era bl e azg rie in the consumption of provender • secondly, that it produces health an d vigour in all animals subjected to its influence : and lastly, increases in a remarkable degree an early development of fat. Mr. Thorley, originating this singularly efficacious food, aimed at a compound calculated to supersede, to a certain extent, the tedious and expensive mode then prevailing of fattening stall-fed beasts. In this he happily succeeded ; and success prompted a very natural desire to improve upon the invention, so as to make it ap plicable to every description of domestic animal. The Eng lish farmer was slow to encourage its use, and manifested an unwillingness to rely upon its efficacy, fancying be possessed in the produce of his farm, ample materials whereby , to feed and fatten his cattle at a cheaper rate than by the employment or addition of artificial food. The tests to which this food has been subjected have proved its perfect admissibility as a cheap addition to the natural produce of the farm ; inasmuch as in all cases a subtraction of one-third may be safely submitted to in the usual food of animals ; and that the produce will be realised, and rendered marketable in two-thirds of the time usually consumed in developing fat ; it, therefore, becomes apparent that a certain saving is effected by Weir application of Thorley's Compounded Food. It is believed that the present unprecedented low price of wheat has induced its very rue: ral use, in preference to any other of the usual article! s e a t food ; it is, however, much questioned whether wheat nourishing and proper food for the working horse,.certainlybesidesFood, it is not for cows or pigs.

FLETCIIER V. ,FLETCHER-ALLEGED FALSE IMPRI- SONMENT IN A LUNATIC ASYLUM. This was an action brought by Mr. Edward Phillip Fletcher, a young gentleman, aged about 29 years, to recover damages against his uncle, Colo nel Fletcher, for having coisigned him - to a lunatic asylum, and there illegally detained him. The defendant pleaded, first, not guilty; secondly, that the plaintiff — ivas a person of unsound mind, and that it was improper, unsafe, and dangerous for him to be at large, wherefore the defendant con fined him ; and thirdly, that he was of unsound mind, but it was not alleged that he was a danger ous lunatic. The Court of Queen's Bench had de cided the form of the third plea to be bad, but issue was joined on the whole of them. Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., Mr. Lush, Q.C., and Mr. Prentice were counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. Bovill, Q.C., Mr. Coleridge, and Mr. Hannan ,were counsel for the defendant. Mr. Edwin James,in stating the ease to the jury said, the plaintiff was a young man, about 29 years of age, and he had brought this action for his im proper detention in a lunatic asylum, under the pretence of insanity, by his uncle, under very ex traordinary circumstances. The plaintiff is the son of the late Mr. Fletcher, who died in 1848, and who was at the time of his,death a partner in the firm of Alexander, Fletche and Co. He left a will giving the plaintiff £5,000 on attaining his 24th year and a reversion in £5,000 left to his mother for life, and made him residuary legatee of his property in the firm, which he valued at £40,000. The delusion upon which two doctors had declared him insane was his belief that he had a claim on his uncle for that amount, not one shilling of which had he ever re ceived, though he had made repeated applicati:ins for it. At last an account was rendered in which the de fendant stated the balance due to the plaintiff's father at the time of his death at £44,000 ; but had debited him with his share of estimated losses down to 1857 at upwards of £117,000. In 1849 the plaintiff obtained a cadetship, and his mother went with him to India. There he kept up an establishment that brought him into difficulties, and he was obliged to give up his cadetship and return to England in 1851. In 1855 he obtained a commission in the Turkish Contingent, and he went to Kertch, where, from the heat, from the suffering he underwent, from bad and poor living and excitement, he took to drinking, and was then seized with a fit of an epileptic character. When the regiment was dis banded, he returned to England in 1856, with nothing to depend upon, when he was told by the defendant that his father had practically died insol vent, but by some arrangement he allowed him from the firm a sum of 30s. per week. He was about this time living in a small lodging in Orchard street, Oxford-street, when he was sued for his lodging, though his aunt had promised to pay it, and he ultimately found himself in Whitecross street prison. He had been educated at Oxford, and when in Whitecross-street he was discovered by an old college friend, without the means of ob taining a loaf of bread, without a change of linen. His friend, compassionating his situation, called upon his uncle, who sent him a small sum of money. Ultimately the plaintiff had to pass through the Insolvent Court for £2OO. He was confined in Kensington House private lunatic asylum by the defendant, from which he ultimately escaped, in the curious manner the plaintiff would describe. The learned counsel called the following witnesses : Mr. Edward Phillip Fletcher was then examined by Mr. Lush. He said—l am now 29 years of age, and my father was a member of Alexander, Fletcher, and Co.'s firm. I was educated at Eton and Oxford. My father went out to India to take charge of the business there, leaving myself and sister in England, and he died there in 1848. (The father's will was here put in, and was read by Mr. Lush. It contained a disposition of the deceased's property, which was considerable, and much in favour of his children, and an account of the rela tives whom he appointed as guardians.) Examination resumed—My mother was a Catho• lie. After my father's death I was taken into the firm as a clerk, and I subsequently went out to India as a cadet. I was accompanied by my mother, and after having been there some time, I returned to England, accompanied by my mother. I saw my uncle after my return, and in 1852 I went to Australia, where I was appointed to a clerkship in the Commissariat Department. I then returned to England, and in the Crimean war I went to Kertch, where I was appointed Deputy-Assistant-Commis sary in the Ordnance Field-train. At Kertch I led rather a "fast life," and got an illness such as I never had before. It was more like hysteria than anything else, and the fits ,lasted commonly from three to four hours. I was attended by medical men. I returned to England in 1856, and on my waylodgedhoamtethe ho use o f a I had one o f those fits which lasted about three hours. O n m y arrival in London I Mrs. Fox, in Howard street, Strand. I went t h enc e in 1856 to Bou logne, to see my mother, who was then stopping there. On my return to London I went to the house of an old servant of my father—a clerk, where I lodged for five months. I was then with out means of living. I went thence to the house of a Mr. Hemsworth, and, in 1857 I wrote to my uncle, James Fletcher, for an account of my father's property. No answer was given until Mr. Hems worth applied to the executors on the subject, and I ultimately got the account now put into my hand. It came from the executor—Mr. Cunningham, a merchant. Mr. Bovill—that account must not be taken as having come from Mr. James Fletcher. Examination resumed—The account is signed by the members of the firm, Fletcher, Alexander, and Co., namely, Mr. C. D. Bruce, James Alexander, C. Pearce, and another, all members of the firm. (Account, read :—Say for his capital, £35,000, and, in all, the balance due to him in 1848 was £49,000, subsequently totally reduced, by liquidation, &e., which were accounted for by losses after the death.) Applications were made, in my name, to my uncle James, on the subject of the account just read, and I did not for some time after receive any allowance from him: In July, 1857, he commenced an allow ance to me of 30s. per week, which was continued to me up to December in that year, when I was arrested for the lodging-money due from me to Mrs. Clark. I was then taken to Whitecross-street prison, and my allowance was then stopped from me. While in Whitecross-street an old college friend of mine, Mr. C ro ker Adams, called upon ma. I had been then t wo mont h s i n Whit ecross - s t ree t, and without any allowance during all that time. Mr. Croker Adams called on my uncle, and he then renewed the allowance of 30s. a-week to me. I was discharged under the Insolvent Debtors' Act ; my debts were then aboutX27o. When discharged under the act I went to lodge at the house of a Mrs. Draper, in Orchard-street, where I had a re newal of some attacks of the illness from which I before suffered. I was attended there six weeks by a medical man named Squires. I communicated the state of my father's affairs to him. I remember in the month of February a Dr. Wood having called upon me. Dr. Squires did not give me the least intimation of Dr. Wood's coming. I had seen my uncle James about three weeks before, in the month of January. I was in the habit of drawing cheques upon the firm of Alexander, Fletcher, and Co., of Kink's Arms-yard, City, for my allowanco. When Dr. Wood called upon me he asked me if I had not made a will, and asked to see it. I de clined, and said, " When I am dead you can see it." He then added, "If you do not let me see your will, that I may judge whether it is a rational ac count, I shall certify that you are of unsound mind and unfit to take care of yourself." Dr. Squires was then with Dr. Wood, and they both left toge ther. I dined out a few days after that.at the house of M r. Rudd, at Islington, and while there Mr. He msworth called on me. Pthen went back to my lodgi ngs, and I told my landlady I should leave the house, as there was a conspiracy against me ; and I instructed her not to admit Mr. Squires, should he again call. I then went into my bed-room, and hearing a noise, I went into my sitting-room, and I there saw Mr. Squires sitting down, with his coat off, and his hat on a chair. I told him I did not desire to see him. He said he wished me very much to go with him to a medical friend of his in the country. I declined, saying I should not ; and he asked me if I w ou ld write t h at. I repl i ed I wou ld, and added I sh ou ld l eave the lodgings and go to Australia, or anywhere, in order to escape annoy ance. He then left me, saying he was sorry I de clined to go with him to his medical friend. I left the lodgings next day, having received notice to quit, and I went to lodgings in Brooksby street, Islington, provided f or me b y my f r i en d s . I there w rote the lett er w hi c h M r. Squ i res w i s hed, and f o rwarded it t o him ,• and while at my lodgings on the 13th of M arc h, I saw a b roug h am drive up to the door, and Mr. S qu i res i n it, I' declined to re ceive him, and he then went awayt I then wrote again to him, expressing my disinclination to com municate with him, and I then wrote to my uncle James and referred in that letter to Squires' calls upon me. On the Sunday morning following, on coming out of the door, I saw Squires standin op posite, and looking very pale and.rauch agitate. The letter of the uncle, Mr. James Fletcher, in answer, was here put in, and read 'by Mr. James. It stated that Squire had not his (Mr. James Fletcher's) authority to call upon him. Examination continued—On the Sunday morning that Squires called on me, I had not then received my uncle's letter. Squires came into the house with a portion of a letter in his hand, and he was accom panied by a Mr. Gill, a medical man. Mr. Gill threatened to put my affairs into the hands of a bar rister. I said he might do so, and they then ques tioned me about my father's property; and his share in the house of Alexander, Fletcher, and Co. I said I desired to have an account of them.,. Squires then said that my suspicions about the family and the firm were unfounded ; and he then added he should place my letter in the hands of a barrister, and that he was sorry to say I was of unsound mind and unfit to take care of myself. They both left me then. I then wrote to Mr. Hemsworth of what had occurred, and on the 14th of March—the same day on which the medical certificates were signed, I went into the King's Arms-yard to the firm, there drew a cheque, and received the £3O. I returned home and had a friend to tea with me. On the next day, the 15th, a person called, and introducing himself to me as a colonel, said he wished me to accompany him to Kensington-house to see some lawyers on the subject of my affairs. I Said I knew nothing of Kensington-house, and that I should not go. He then said the business had reference to that on which the parties called upon me on Sunday, and I said they had my address, and that I could not be losing my time in looking after them. He then left me, and returned almost im mediately, said he had something more to say to me, and almost immediately after the door was opened, and a tall, thick-set man, with a stick in his hand, entered the room and put a long printed paper into my hand. The paper, signed by the plaintiff's uncle, Edward Charles Fletcher, a Lieut.-Colonel in the army, and Justice of the Peace, was here put in by Mr.. James, and purported to be a warrant for the con signment of plaintiff to Kensington-house as a private patient of unsound mind. The certificate of Mr. Gill, that he had examined him and found him to be of unsound mind, and unfit to take care of himself, was also put in and read. It described a general incoherence of manner in the plaintiff, peculiar expressions of his face, his delusions with regard to money, his general strangeness of man ner, so that the servants at Mrs.. Draper's, in Orchard-street, refused to wait upon him; his capricious feelings with regard to the disreputable associates who called upon him, requesting his landlord for one hour to turn him (Mr. Gill) out like a dog, and describing him at other times os gentle and familiar. Examination continued—Plaintiff deposed there was not one word of truth in those statements. [The certificate of Wm. Squires, member of the Col lege of Surgeons, was then put in, also dated 14th of March, 1858, and stated the grounds upon which he formed his diagnosis of the symptoms which led him to believe that plaintiff was of unsound mind ; and, amongst them, attempts by him to commit suicide by attempting strangulation]. This the plaintiff ex plained by stating, that when attacked with the fits of epilepsy or hysteria, he felt a sensation of suffo cation in the throat, and that he put his hAds to his throat, not to injure, but to relieve himself. Examination continued—The next delusion as signed by Dr. Squires was my delusion respecting a lady with large fortune, whom I wished to marry. There was such an attachment by me to a lady who had a fortune, but I broke it off in 1848. He asked me if I intended, in the event of marrying the lady, if I meant to prosecute my claims against my father's partners, with her fortun e , a n d I said I should prosecute my claims. Another delusion at tributed to me by Dr. Squires, was my fancying I saw blood upon the wall ; and I can explain that by stating that after I had the fits of epilepsy, and while I was recovering, I fancied I saw blood on the wall. On the day of the 15th of March, when Dr. Wood and the keeper called upon me, and when Dr. Wood asked me to accompany him to Kensing ton House, I declined, having then road the paper. He said I must accompany him, and I said I must first breakfast. I then breakfasted, and having asked him if it was a lock-case, I called my land lady's daughter up stairs to be a witness. He said I must accompany him. Sandys, the keeper, was the man who was with him. They got a cab, and conveyed me from my lodgings to Kensington House. They did not use force. • When I arrived at Kensington House I was shown into the draw ing -room, where there were patients. I arrived at the asylum between ten and eleven, and at the din ner hour, two o'clock, I was asked to take dinner. I declined to take any, because the effect of finding myself in such a place as that, had taken away my appetite. As to the employment of curative means, I was not aware that they employed ar.y, except, perhaps, some slight administration of morphia and quinine. During the time I was in the asylum, from the 15th of March to the 30th of June, my uncle, Colonel Fletcher, the de fendant in this case, never called to see me, neither did my uncle James, nor any other relative. My mother was at the time at Boulogne. On the 30th of June, I .vas out walking with the keeper and another " alleged " lunatic, and whit they were engaged in looking at the horses in Rotten -row, I took an opportunity, and slipping down a narrow footway between the Duke of Wellington's Monu ment and Apsley-house, I got into a cab, and made my escape. I had been without means, and had put on another suit of clothes before I left the asylum, in order that I might pledge them when I got out, for my necessities. I called on a friend, and asked him to befriend me. Some evening after that, I went into the Brown Bear, St. Giles's, kept by my friends the Churchills, and while there, a policeman, accompanied by Sandvs, the keeper, entered, and the latter said, " Mr. Fletcher, I want you." I turned to Miss Churchill, and said, " What shall I do, there is no back way by which rean escape ?" She said, " Run up stairs, Edward, and lock yourself in a room." I ran up, and got into Mrs. Garrett's room. She was a member of the family, and received me. Sandys called upon the policeman to break in the door, and Mrs. Garrett asked him by what authority he came there, and to produce his warrant, which staggered and confused him. Mrs. Garrett aided me to make my escape, and furnished me with veil, gown, cuffs, bonnet, and everything ; and so attired, I got out on the roof, and passing over the roofs of two houses in Drury lane, I entered a window, and, having remained in the room for some time, I emerged therefrom, and entering the window of another house, I proceeded down stairs, and the people of the house were much astonished at my appearance. (Laughter.) I then escaped and went to the house of a friend, where I was specially visited by the Commissioners of Lunacy. They questioned me, and advised me to put my affairs into Chancery. They then left me. I have been since living very well, and my health has been good. _ _ Mr. Bov - ill here read an undated letter from the plaintiff to his uncle James, in which he spoke of the severity of his mother, as a person who had caused great disquiet to him and to her family. Plaintiff continued—That was not the first time in which I knew my mother was going to make a disgraceful marriage. In 1851, when she was living in Berners-street, I knew it, and she told me so herself. • _ . The Lord Chief Justice—What do you mean when you say she was going to make a disgraceful marriage ? Plaintiff—Because I knew he was very inferior to her in position, and that he was much younger than her. A Juror—Those are very good reasons. Plaintiff—And also, that he was not able to sup port her. I knew him to be th e same person w h o was paying attention to her at Boulogne, and whom she was disposed to marry there, and I was indig nant, and might have said, " I should sooner anni hilate her ;" but I have no recollection that I said so. Mr. Bovill here read another letter from plaintiff to his uncle James, beginning "My dear James," and stating that he was determined to go on in legal prosecution of his claims ; that the firm had robbed him, and stating that he knew what he was about ; that he was not so powerless as they sup posed him ; that he would not be lono•er trifled or trampled upon by his proud family; and that unless redress were afforded him " blood should flow." Plaintiff—l wrote that letter under great irrita tion and disappointment, and I delivered it myself. After my return from Australia I obtained an In dian cadetship through the influence of my uncle James, with my uncle Colonel Fletcher, with whom I was not then on terms of friends hi p , and a contri bution was then got up for me by my relative s f or my outfit, which was about £lOO. I went to my uncle James's house, prior t o m y g oin g o ut to In_ die, and he gave me X4O towards my o u tfi t, for which I gave him an aut horit y to rece ive Payment ; but he has not yet been paid, as my tailor had to be paid first. I went afterwards to my uncle's house THE NAVY. In addition to those hired shipwrights who re ceived their discharge from Chatham dockyard on Saturday last, another discharge of hired men whose services are no longer required will be made at that establishment to-morrow, the men selected for discharge being inferior mechanics and those whose characters are not good. Yesterday morning a large party of convicts arrived at St. Mary's convict establishment from London, for the pur pose of being employed in the laborious works now in progress in the dockyard, where there are daily several hundred convicts at work. The screw line-of-battle ships Royal Albert, 121, Capt. E. B. Rice, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Fremantle ; the James Watt, 91, Capt. E. Codd ; the Hero, 91, Capt. G. H. Seymour, C.B. the Algiers, 91, Capt. G. W. D. O'Callaghan ; the Mersey, 40, Capt. H. Caldwell, C.B. ; and the screw despatch gunboat FlyingFish,6, Commander Hope, left Portland harbour on Wednesday morn ing for a cruise in the Channel. The Agamemnon, 91, Capt. T. Hope ; the Emerald, 51, Capt. Arthur Cumming; the Blenheim, 60, Capt. Scott; and the Pioneer, 6, Commander May, are still at anchor. The gunboat Biter, tender to the Blenheim, left Plymouth on Wednesday for Portland. The screw steam troopship Himalaya,'Commander Seccombe, got up steam on Wednesday in Ply mouth Sound, and returned again after a three hours' cruise to test her machinery. The screw steam frigate Curaco - a, 31, Capt. T. H. Mason, from Portland, arrived at Plymouth on Wednesday. She is to be fitted for foreign service. The Ariel, 9, screw, Commander Charles Brom ley, was paid off at Portsmouth yesterday. Wm. Hall, quartermaster, received the medal with £l5 gratuity for long service. J. Adams, captain's coxswain, William Conney, leading stoker, and George Shell, sailmaker, received the gratuities of £4 13s. 4d. each. Nearly the whole of the Ariel's crew—a remarkably fine body—are continual sevice men, and have mostly volunteered for the various ships fitting in the port-13 have volunteered for the Neptune, 91, Capt. Sir Wm. Hoste, and six for the Vulcan, screw troopship, Commander Strode. The Simoom, Commander J. Cooke, at Portsmouth, will have her crew "paid down" to-day, and granted leave of absence ashore. A grievance exists with reference to the seamen pensioners lately called upon to serve in the steam reserves, &c., in the various dockyards. The greater part of these men were in some situation or small way of business at the time they were called upon to serve, which they have had to forfeit in the one case and neglect in the other. In addition to this, the men have received no pay or allowance from the authorities during the time they have been serving, and the consequence has been that in many cases the greater part of their clothes and household fur niture have had to be disposed of to find a means of support for their wives and families. The steam storeship Rhadamanthus sailed from Woolwich yesterday (Thursday), laden with steam gear and 150 seamen recruits to be distributed to ships fitting out at Sheerness. Arthur Thomas has been appointed Master to the Vulcan, and Henry Aguillar Second-Master, to the Grappler. THE ARMY. Her Majesty, accompanied by the Prince Con sort and the Princess Alice, will review the whole of the troops in camp at Aldershott to-morrow. The Duke of Cambridge and a brilliant staff of officers are expected to be present. His Royal Highness the General Commanding in-Chief, attended by his aide-de-camp, Colonel Lord Burghersh, yesterday rode down to Woolwich, and held an official inspection of the Royal Artil lery. The Duke arrived at ten o'clock, and was received at the lower entrance to the garrison by Capt. Freeth, Deputy Assistant - Quartermaster- General. The Royal standard was immediately hoisted at the Green-hill Battery, and the guns commenced firing a Royal salute. ; The Commander in-Chief (joined by Major-General Sir Richard Dacres, and the officers comprising the com mandant's staff of the garrison) then rode up to the review ground, where the depot Brigade of Foot, the The depotlst o fcorps t and he c 4t o lnis HorseSi s iteegde Brigade,apnrdinFielc pa weredl l yB mustered o i Brigades, ad y e o s u , n and h gin the . recently enlisted, and who have passed through the various gradations of drill and exercise.

Although both are constructed upon the same principle, the arrangements for cooking are somewhat varied, one being for the use of a regiment on a march, and the other for the service of a hospital. The result of the experiment performed last week in presence of a committee assembled in the Royal Arsenal to test their capabilities having been detailed, and the waggons carefully examined, the Duke expressed his conviction of the benefit which Capt. Grant had conferred by his inventions. The pontoon field cooking apparatus in daily . use at the field train a pparatus for bak en campment was l i i n k cp ew b i r s e e a i d n i s .n pe t c h t e ed ie a ld s , w w e h l i l ch as w t e h r e e smallh jaunting e c a o r f t s e , a c o h n the o e p a r p in p e r i o p y l e e d of to be attached to a reg iment, were likewise in tShoenlleri s in spected.

The cures have been so remarkable, speedy, and numerous, that it was predicted the new disease, diphtherite—consisting of small ash-coloured ulcers in the interior of the throat, at tended by fever often fatal—might be arrested by the same means, and such has been the case. This disease in its first stage is • even more amenable to Holloway's ointment and pills than the simpler forms of inflammatory sore throat.
