In consequence of tho refusal of Mr. Jardine, the Bow street magistrate, to accept bail in the case of M. Simon Bernard, Mr. Sleigh, the defendant's counsel, applied to Mr. Justice Wightman yesterday afternoon, at judge's chambers, to reverse his worship's decision. Mr. Bodkin, counsel for the Crown, attended to oppose the application. Mr. Sleigh, after reviewing the facts of the case as already before the public, urged that it was almost the in variable practice of ma g istrates to admit to b a il i n cases where the offence charge d was simply one of misdemeanour. No doubt, in the present instance, the worthy magistrate— whose discretion he was the last man living to call in ques tioa—had been influenced by the grave representations of his learned friend the counsel for the prosecution, as to the defendant's complicity with Orsini and others; but the utter absence of any evidence, and the improbability really of there being any evidence hereafter in support of such a conjecture, were sufficient reasons, he contended, why there should have been no deviation from the ordinary rules of the Court. His Lordship said, it was quite unusual to make an ap plication of this sort while a case was under remand. The first course would be to issue a certiorari for the depositions, and when they were before him it would be very properly urged that they were incomplete. Mr. Bodkin,— -Exactly so. There never had been an in stance of the kind. It was impossible for Mr. Sleigh to know what character the charge might hereafter assume. In the Custom-house prosecutions a few years ago, where the defendants were remanded from week to weekfor a very long period, similar applications were made to the judge and invariably refused, it being the opinion of his lordship that there ought to beno interference with the discretion of the magistrate unless there had been any unreasonable de lay on the part of the prosecution. There could be none charged in thisinstance, the defendant haying been only apprehended on Suridaylaat. I Sleigh referred to the ease of tivo prisoners named De Salvi and Gower, who were charged with an attempt to assassinate (and subsequently it proved to be murder) in the Queen's Bench Prison. In that case Gower was ad mitted to bail by the judge, pending the inquiry. His Lordship—That was a wry different matter. The application on bahalf of Gower was not opposed, but ap proved, by the prosecution. When the evidence is com plete and the defendant stands committed, I might enter tain theapplication, probably, if the magistrate still refuse to allow bail. Mr. Sleigh—But surely, your Lordship, if it would be just to admit the defendant to bail then a fortiori it must beHetiiallLmorodreshsiop_now that the charge against him is incom- W re e a l s l, on if ab th le at o. s r h o e u u n l d d epxleatme.ple7tehree is defendanto ovary pr s o h b o a u b l i d lit b y e that ag this inquiry will without go on, by slow steps, from week to week, for a long perid. beingag ain anyre manded, charge ultimately established—you b can renew the appli cation.bsi again thehe andr a case—if, for Mr. Sleigh—l understand then, that if the defendant is remanded for ano th er eight days, and still detained i n custody ; I may come to you again. His Lordship—Yes, you can d o so . as he likes. (A l augh.) Mr. Bodkin —Of course; Mr. Sl e i g h can come as often Bernard will be brought up to Bow-street aga;2l on the dsy appointed at 3 o'clock and, probably, further re manded another week. THE LEVIATHAN. The following report was submitted by Mr. Brunel, the engineer, at t h e meeting of the Eastern S:eam er Navigation C ompany yest da "The consequences resulting from the launch of the ship, and the co ns id eration of the steps to be taken now that that operation has been effected, are all so much more important to those interested in this undertaking than any descripti on of the mechanical difficulties which had to be contend e d with, or of the means by which they were overcome, th at I shall defer to some period, when I shall myself h ave more leisure, any description of the 'launch.' "It is sufficient now that you should know, in addi tion to the notorious fact of the vessel being afloat, that in the operation not the slightest alteration of form has taken plsce or the slightest injury of any sort been sustained ; that the ship i s perfectly tight, and float, as nearly as possible with the draught and trim previmply calculated. The next important question to all interested in the un d ertaking, and the l ast b e f ore the trial of the perfor mance of the ship and engine!, is now the time and cost requ i red for comp l et i on rea d y for sea, and, with the conc urrence of t h e di rec t ors , I propo se to avoid as far as possible all risk of error i n estimates formed upon these points (and, owing to the peculiarity of the circuneetances, the novelty of much that has to be done in the fittin g up of such a vessel, and the difficulty that always -attends the making of calculations upon remnants of half -finished work, the risks of error in this case would be considerable.) I propose to avoid these risks as much as possible by obtaining conditional contracts for the completion of all or nearly all that remains to be done, and upon which the further proceedings of the company with reference to capital can be securely based, " The steps necessary to obtain these t en d ers wi ll calculations can b e o b ta i ne d.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, GUILDHALL. (Sitting at Nisi Priug, before Lord Campbell and a Special Jury.) THE QUEEN V. BROWN AND OTHERS. SEVENTH DAY. The trial of the information against the directors and manager of the Royal British Bank for conspiring by false pretences to defraud the shareholders and cus tomers and the public, was this day resumed. The same counsel appeared as before. The case was resumed this morning. Mr George Anderson was called and examined by Mr. Atherton with reference to the past due bills and past due bills book having reference to the advances made by the bank, most of which had been the subject of in quiry in the early part of these proceedings. He stated he found the bills had been classified on the sth April, 1853, as follows : good bills, 17,1531 ; doubtful, 4,3171. 15s 4d; bad, 6,6281. 35 7d; bills in liquidation, 17,1541. 7 s 4d ; an d under legal pro cess, 4,945/, 5s Bd. The classification commenced on the 31st Dec„ 1851, between these dates no addition had been made to the past due bills, the outstanding account remaining the same. A " money lodged and lent book" e wes kept ; all the past due bills and loans were shown in it. None of their bad kills were written off is "despe rate," but carried on as securities up to 29th Augus t, 1853. The amount of pa s t d ue bills at that time • was 24,2601. 16s, being an increase of 5,0001. or 6,0001. since December, 1851 ; the past due loans were, at that time, 10,7591. 15s 61 from time date to the 18th Juno, 1855. On the 31st December, 1853, tee outstanding duo bills were 24,7061. 14e 7d; on 31 April, 1854, 32,3041. 13s 4d ; on 30th June, 37,0181. 144 ld ; on 4th Sept., 40,3951. lle 2d ; en 30th Oct , 59,5991. 19e lld ' • on 2ith Nov., 56,8931 . 4 s ld ; on 3d Jan., 1855, 73,4161. 13s 7d ; on 12th Feb., 78,2031. laid; on --- 12th sum, - Imam. 04 - Aid; on 12th April, 83,9211. 184 101; on 14th May. 88,0101. 14e ; on 18th June, 88,8441. 19a 5d ; and on 21et July, 92,3281. 81 Bd, including 21,1171. 2s 2d, De Tart's diebonoured bills ; on 6th August, 1855, the past due bills amounted to 68,858/. 13s 5d ; oa Ist September, 70,3251. Se 8d ; and on 17th Oct., 71,6341. Sc. Past due loans out ,tanding on 18th June, 1855, amounted to 16,3271. 13s lld ; bills continued with collateral security, 3,3261. Os Id. Past due loans on let September, 1855, amounted to 20,4771. 13e lld ; bills continued, &c., 24,3431. 8s 3d. On 17th Sept. past due loans were 51,0731. 2e 9d; bills on collateral security, 24,3431. 8s 3d. The past due loans at this time, including Mr. H. Brown's, brought from convertible securities, amounted to 29,1851. 18r 101. Up to December, 1855, the past due bile were 63,7561. 7e 4d ; the past one loans, 17,7421. Os Id. ; bills continued, &c., 24,7841. lle 9d : making a total of 106,2821. 19s 2d. The "green ledger" commenced early in 1854, and was kept by Mr. Cameron, junior, and Mr. Munro. The accounts transferred from the other books at first were written by Mr. Crawford. All the officials had access to it. It contained the names of the bank officials only. In it were the accounts of Mr. Baring (director), Brown (director), Barnard (cashier), Cochrane (director), Clarke (director), Cameron (general manager), Chandler (auditor), Gwynne (director), Kennedy (three ter), Logan (late clerk), Macgregor (director), M'Cloud (director), Mullens (late solicitor), Napier (late acceuu tant), Owen (director), Paddison (solicitor), Ruston (director), the two Mr. Valiants ( iirectore), and Wel ton (director). During the ilipese of Mr. Cameron, he was unable to say if the "green ledger" was from time to time before Mr. Eedaile. Mr. Atherton said he was prepared to show the state of the accounts for 1856. Sir F. Kelly said it was not required, because it was not in this information. The amount of bi le on which he calculated interest. in 1855 was 46,3891. 14s 7d, the interest was 2,6741. 2s 10e, which was carried to profit. He was directed not to calculate interest en certain bills after 1855, up to 16,0351. By Mr. Sergeant Shee—The value of the bills for calculating interest was ascertained from a knowledge of the parties. The witness was then cross-examined on the balance ' sheet of 1355. It was a dry and tedious process, utterly uninteresting and unintelligible without the document,. He added that he had his suspicion when he was told by Mr. Barnard not to value certain bills for interest in June or July, 1855; that they were bad. If he had known any part of the bills were bad be should have gone to the directors and taken their instructions thereon. A provision was made for bad debts in the balance-sheet in addition to the reserved funl ; Mr. Stapleton joined the bank after the publication of the balance-sheet in June, 1855. Sir F. Kelly examined the witness as to the drawing up of the balance-sheet of 1855, which was reported to him and net a report of which he took part in pr o duci ng . Lord Campbell—There is nothing on the face of this balance-sheet that would undeceive him. He oid not be, the balance sheet before it was printed, ha did not know who gave instructions what should be left out and what retained. By Mr. James—He sever saw an item for past due bills in the reports of English Joint Stock Banks ; the sum of 89,0001. past due bills contained a portion of Brown's debt, for which the Bank held securities ; it in• eluded come of Oliver's and De Tart's liabilities, 21,0001. for which the bank held a second mortgage ; it also included Macgregor'e and Ditillene debt. Mr. Sergeant Shee—The balance-sheet printed for circulation is only an abstract at the balance-sheet. The Jury said they were quite aware of that. Lord Campbell—So far as I understand no objection is taken to the form of the abstract. By Mr. Slade—Mr. Owen (director) had a cred t valance of 891. when the bank failed. By Mr. Huddleston—iciCl3;;; had advanced to him at tie beginning of 1854 12,0001. on bills, for which he gave security, the Helen LludFay, the Magdalena, and the Hero, and lodged a bill of sale of them. Early in March that sum had been paid off, and before the mortgage was given to Mr. Walton. A juryman complainei tbat in crosF-t-xamining the witness allusion had been made to other Joint Stocks by name in comparison with thi,;, relative to the form of their balance-sheet, which he thought a dishonour. Mr. James said he had do:le so merely to show the form used. Lord Campbell said be thought the form unobjec [citable. [To ba continued in our last edition.] SIXTH DAY. [The fellevriug appeared in successive eslitiens •° The Sun of yesterday : --] The further inquiry into Mr. Cameron's debt to the bank was proceeded with. Mr. Anderson, examined by Mr. Welsby, said that in Cameron's account i❑ the green ledger there was a dis• count of a note for 500/. in the bill register ; it was entered as a promissory note of Esdaile's, endorsed by Ca►neron. It was continued on as a continuing security in the register of the 6th of February. On the 16th of January, 1854, there was entered in the register a❑ advance on convertible securities, a sum of 3,478/. 2s. 11d., which continued until the end of 1355. It wait tele el out after the first balance that was struck ou 31st December, 1855. On that day Cameron gave A bill drawn on the National Bank of Scotland in favour of the Royal British Bank for 3,500/., 21 days' date. It was discounted and the amount placed to the credit of his drawing account, which would appear as an asset. He received the bill from the accountant of the bank, with instructions not to present it. It was not entered in the past-due bills book, but it remained on the list of country current bills •till the close of the bank, and to the debit of Cameron's discount account. On the 31st December, 1854, Cameron's discount account amounted to 15,396/. 14s. 6d. due from him to the bank. On the 31st December, 1855, the amount was 19,146/. 14s. 61 Nothing had been received on it from that time up to the stoppage of the bank. Mr. A nderson, cross-examined by Mr. E. James—The bills produced of Cameron's were not initialled in the proper manner by the directors, to indicate they had passed the directors, nor had they been entered in the past due bills book. lip to the time Mr. Esdaile became a director, Ole could only trace on the books the payment of the money but not the order for its payment. The 50C/. hill of Mr. Esdaile's was paid without renewal. By the system of book keeping adopted by the bank, they showed the payment of 1,500/. for the 500/., which the witness explained, but it was of so complicated a nature that few only could understand it. The principal object appeared to be to give the bank an advantage of interest and the saving of the stamp. By Mr. D. Seymour—Mr. Cameron's account was kept in the usual manner as others of the yams class ; there was no mystery about it. The bi 1 for 10,0001. edd had reference to the purchase of some of the bank shares. A juryman asked if the "green-book" referred to was a ledger or a memorandum-book fir the use of the directors ; because there might be a difference as to the actual state of the account in the ledger and in the green-book, Witness said that the "green-ledger" contained the accounts that were more frequently referred to, and that it answered all the purposes of a ledger. Mr. Crawford, the accountant, said lie remembered finding, in 1853, seven promissory notes of Cameron's, amounting to 10,6001. He charged interest on them, as he understood they represented original shares of the bank, and the dividends would go against them. There was a cash and drawing account. In 1854 the debtor balance of Cameron's drawings showed 2071. 15A. ; the balance of the cash credit account at the end of 1854 was 3,1731. 12'. Sd. against Cameron. During Cameron's absence from illness, in 1855, M r . Esdaile examined the share register, and took a good deal of trouble with it. Mr Esdaile on one occasion said, " Surely Cameron's bills represent a great many more shores than are standing in his name. The amount would represent 212 shares, but there were only 51 shares registered in Cameron's name. In June, 1855, Cameron said to witn ess th e di r ectors were pressing him to give back 1,0001. of Lie salary, but that he would take care to recompense himself. Cameron afterwards gave a promissory note UNATTACHED. Major and Brevet Lieut.-Col T Charles B. Teush-Hecker, from the 15th Light Dragoons, to be Lieut.-Col., without purchase.

Dalehall SOffordslaire, March 6 [PRIG:E., 40. STAMPED 5 forl,ooo/., which was placed to the "profit" of the bank. During Cameron's illness witness fureished Mr. Es ?ails ‘ with a list of convertible securities. It contained Cameron's for 3,475/. 21. 111., and he called Mr. Esdaile's particular attention to it by placing his finger on it ; 1151. ls. 2.1. was charged for interest at the rate of 5 per cent, This occurred in Marcie, 1855. The witness was examined at considerable length with reference to the details of Mr. Cameron's account, tracing the items through the books of the bank. Cameron's debt at the' stoppage of the bank was over 26,0001. Cross-examined by Mr. E. James—He was unable to gay whether Mr. Esdaile tract seen the bills before Cameron's Mutes.. There was a diary kept sho wing the bills as they became due, but as Cameron's bilis were never intended to become due, they were not entered as such in the diary, though a Let of them were entered at the end of the book. The jury examined the book, and said the entries showed that that was the case. Witness continued—The bill of 5001. was given by Mr. Esdaile for the legitimate purchase of shares of Cameron, for the peepose of doubling his qualification at the board, in aesorrfatice with a resolution passed at the board for that purpose. Mr. Esdaile paid the amount with interest. That was the only accommoda tion be received from the bank. Mr. E ;dale and his firm banked at the London Joint-Stock Bank. By Mr. D. Seymour—The price of Royal British Bank shares in 1855 ranged from 481. to 501. 110 was, unable to say whether Mr. Cameron considered his debt of 3,5001. had been liquidated by the sale of 70 shares which he had given the bank authority to dispose of. A sum of 1751. had been received from Cameron's estate since he left the bank which had not been placed to his credit. The balances of the Royal British Bank at the Bank of England sometimes fell short. By the Jury—There was a debtor-boo's kept, but he was unable to state if it went before the jury. Sir F. Thesiger said he should call witnesses to prove what books went before the weekly meetings of the directors. Mr. John Finlayson was called. He said he went into Mr. Cameron's service as clerk at Dingwall, in 1842. Mr. Cameron farmed some land there, with a Mr. Ewer, but the latter got Into difficulties, and Mr. Cameron took the farm liabilities on himself. In cause- quence of Mr. E rect.'s difficulties, a cash credit account was opened at tie National Bank of Scotland. Mr. A. Mattheson became security for 5,0001. but that was not sufficient to pay off the nebts on the farm. Lord Campbell—Have these matters come to the knowledge of the defendants ? Mr. Welsby—No, it only refers to Cameron. Lord Campbell suggested that the learned counsel should not continue this part of the case. Mr. Weleby—Then I will proceed with the case of Empson. By Mr. D. Seymour—Mr. Cameron held many highly responsible offices in Scotland in connection with the Crown, and was looked upon as a man of good repute. He still was Clerk of the Peace of Dingwall, and also Clerk of Supply and Chamberlain or factor of Crown rents. He was also a very large sheep farmer. The Court then adjourned for a short time. On the re-assembling of the Court, Mr. Welsby proceeded with Mr. Ernpson's account. Mr. Henry Ernpson was called. He stated ho was a solicitor, carrying on business in Moorgate-street, and acted as agent for Meoire. Muilens and Paddison. He never purchased shares in the Royal British Bank on his own accost:it. In May, 1854, Mr. Gatherer the share registrar called on him, and from what he stated witness accepted and signed the transfer of certain shales. His name was need as trustee of the bank ; in 1855 and in 1856 the circumstance frequently occurred, Ile had no knowledge that shares stood in his name till after the stoppage el the bank. He did not know an account was opened in his name. By Mr. James—He was only communicated wi h on these occasions by Mr. Crawford and Mr. Gatherer, He bad no communication with any of the directors till after the failure of the bank. By Mr. Seymour—The only purchase of shares wa s after Mr. Mullens' death. Mr. Crawford was called—Ho deposed that in Tune, 1855, Mr. Cameron's private account was opened in the name of Henry Emupson ; in that account he was debited with money paid for shares. The first entry that was made was for seven shares purchased by Lady Adair for 3501 ; the second, 2,0001. for 40 shares ; the third, 1,5001. for 30 shares; and a fourth for 501. 7s. 6d. Tee money was paid for them out of the bank, Sir F. Thesiger said he now proposed to go into evi dence relative to the past-due bills book, and the other books which were regularly presented to the courts of directors and the different boards and committees. Lord Campbell—And what then ! Sir F. Thesiger—After that Mr. Paddison will go generally let the whole case with regard to the know ledge of the directors in the different matters. Lord Campbell —And next ? Sir F. Thesiger—The representations which were made to the shareholders. Lord Campbell—And that will be the whole ? Sir F. Thesiger—Yee Sir F. Kelly—Am I to understand that the case as to Mr. Carmen:Hi:is debt and securities is closed ? Sir F. Thesiger—Yes. Mr. Crawford was again put into the box to give additional evidence as to the purchase of British Bank shares by the bank before the other branch of evidence was proceeded with. In the course of his exitninatioo, Mr. James objected to the admissibility of a portion of this testimony. Lord Campbell—l am of opinion that it is admissible. Mr. James said he would beg leave to tender a bill of exceptions to his lordship's decision. Lord Campbell—l shall not grant a bill of exceptior in a criminal trial. Mr. James said he had the authority of his lordship ii a particular ca , c for his -application. Lard Campbell—l formerly said that a bill of excel). flocs would lie in a criminal case, but I very sincerely regret that I did so, for, on consideration and on con sultation with my learned brethern, I am now clearly of opinion that I was wrong. Mr. James--The question can be decided hereafter. Lord Campbell—l think the evidence is admissible. Mr. Jaynes—Will your lordship take a note of my objection ? Lord Campbell—Go on, Mr. James—l think lam entitled to have a note taken. Lord Campbell—Go on, (Laughter.) Mr. Crawford, examined by Sir Fitzroy Kelly--To the best of his belief and recollection the account originated in this way. &noon's name was given as the purchas,r of the shares, and witness had asked Cameron if he should charge the account in Empson's name. There were shares in the name of Miss Clarkson who married Sir RubertAdair, and it was understood at the bank that she wished to self her shares, and a purchaser was found in Empson. The account of Empson was 12,7731. Witness was perfectly aware Empson was only a trustee fur the bank, for Cameron had told hire so. Mr. Robert Beveridge was then called—l entered the service of the bank as bill clerk in October, 1350. It I was part of my duty to make an entry of the bids drawn on the bank for discount. The past-due bills book was kept by me from Feb. 1851, to Feb. 1852. Tree book contains an account of all past-due bills, the names of I the parties, and the date at which they became overdue. I took the particulars from the bills so delivered to me for the purpose. The witness was asked what was tie amount outstand ing on the 20th Feb. 1851 of past-due bills. Sir F. Kelly objected until proof was given as to which of the defendants were members of the committee at the time. Lord Campbell said cone of the defendants Oen be affected by the witness stating what the amount was. It is the only mode in which justice can be administered. Sir. F, Kelly—l assure your lordship there is a very simple mode— Lord Campbell—l, sitting here as j edge, rule that the question is perfectly regular. S:r F. Thesiger—We will do hereafter what Sir Fitz. roy Kelly asks, and I hope he will give us credit for a desire to do all that fairness and justice demands. Sir F. Kelly—l will give you credit for the bat in. tentions throughout the whole of this case, but befure the ' evidence is given it should be shown if one or more of the defendants was a member of the past-due bills com mittee. Sir F. Theslger—l will undertake to do that by and by, but if you cannot give me credit for it I will at once call Mr. Paddison and prove it. Lord Campbell--I should have thought it better for all parties if the objection had not been taken. If Sir Frederick Thesiger had pressed it, I would have ad mitted the evidence. Mr. PaddiSo n wa s then recalled, his evidence being directed to proving the presence of the defendants at numerous meetings of the past-due s committee from May, 1850 to 1856, which he did by reading the minutes of those meetings. He also proved that when a list of the past-due bills was made out there were various remarks by Esdaiie, 0 wen, and Cameron, such as " " bankrupt," &c. The cold in Transylvania persons have p er i s h e d in theia appears this yea r t o b e ex ceedingly severe, an d three of the high Gyula e ke, and another, 1:101.7 two on he busi ness of the a s e r i . o H o ' E d t PR E e s r T , o i t N l h v ef L o r, r e F s to road of nG l E ' R e y n . t_c k rr . assizes for North Lancashire commenced befcre Mr. Baron Martin, at Preston, on Thursday. The court was crowded at an early hour, as it was generally be lieved that the first case would be the trial of Thomas Monk, late surgeon at Preston, a deputy lieutenant of the county, and ex-mayor of that borough, for forging the will of Edward Turner, reed maker, at Preston. The evidence was then gone into ; the chief features of which having already appeared in the reports of the previous examination before the magistrates, it is scarcely necessary to repeat it upon the present occa sion. The judge having summed up, the jury, after a few moments' consid , ration, returned a verdict of guilty. His lordship sentenced the prisoner to penal servitude for the rest of his life. The prisoner heard the sentence without evincing the least emotion ; he stood and looked the judge fall in Vie face during its delivery, and at its conclusion he stepped down from the front of the dock with a firm step. *S' Eli - s l 3 --,:- ' .PEp, .....I 7/ . - .1 , - . - 42...",...

MreFerrby, to vest it on goo d toortgaga security. Mr. Watts represented to Mr. Fonby that the money was invested on good minority, but it was lent on buildings in the course of erection at Felkstone and Nlairlatone, which , turned out an .utrprafit a m„ ' speculation, and Mr. Watts himself afterwards beeline bankrupt. The Lord Chancellor in delivering judgment said, that this case Lad given him the ereetest possible anxiety, not only to find cut whether there were sufficient gourd* for the penal suspension of Mr. Watts from the duties of his office, but also to see whether there were sufficient grounds for restoring Lim ae au attorney et this court. It appeared that he and hie partner carried On business in Ilythe to the extent of about 45,000/. per annum, but his loss in building speculations and other wise led him to bankruptcy: His lordship observed that it now appeared upon evidence that the misrepre sentations made by him to the Rev. Mr. Fonby, that he heel laid out Lis money on a good mortgage invest ment, was made after the money was advanced and eilPn he was btnkrupt, but it was his duty to have informed Mr. Fonby that be was in bankrupt cite curnstancez, and that it was his duty to look to the F uffioiesicy of the security given. If be had done se, Mr. Fonby might have recovered his money fmne Watts' assets in the hands of his bankers. His lordship did not consider that this misrepreeentation made after bankruptcy, and when no money was advanced by Mr. Fonby on the faith of its being, true, was a sufficient ground for continuing Mr. Wet's' suspension from his office of attorney. His lordship had conceived, and he believed the Vice-Chancellor was of the same opinion, that Mr. Foribyleed advanced his money upon Watts'mie rapreseutation of the sufficiency of the mortgage security; whereas, it now appeared that money was advanced before any misrepresentations were made and that the money was placed in his hands to get the best security he could. His lordship did not free Mr. Watts from blame in making a misrepresentetien to Mr. Fonby after Lis bankruptcy, but be did not consider that the public would sustain any injury by restoring Mr. Wafts to the roll of attorneys of this court on the payment of all CO 4te. Trio rule to strike Mr. Watts off the roll was dis charged and Mr, Watts is now an attorney of tide court. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.) MARLBOROUGH -STREET. ONE EFFECr or Tr GOVERNMENT BlLL.—Amcng the persons charged with drunkenness at this court this morning was an Italian, who gavo his name 'Batista Darighi, brought before Mr Binghav by Police-con- Ltable C, 145. It appeared the constable found the defendant drunk in Piccadilly at between two and three o'clock in the morning, where he was exceedingly noisy much to th• annoyance of the inhabitants. As he woul:i not mode rate his clamour the constable was ander the necessity of locking him up. The Italian told his worship this morning, through the medium of the interpreter, that he was sorry he Zot drunk, but the fact was it was all owing to the bill thrown out in the house last night. Mr. Bingham asked how he would have done bad it been the oth(r way and not thrown out ! Defendant thought that might have somewhat altered circumstances and caused a little delay, as he should probably then have got drunk in Italy icateal of Eng land. Being a foreigner, and his firot appearance here, he was disehargei without a fine. NA.VAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE'. Sir Charles Style, Bart., of Bromptor, Yorkshire, nioently addressed a letter to Colonel M'Pherson, C.B., lnspecting Field Officer of the York Dist r i c t, intimating his desire to promot e th e en li s t ment of recruits for her Majesty's service, a n d w i t h a view to that object remitted a cheque for 1001. to be given as extra bounty to 100 young men who shoul enlist iu that district. This patriotic offer was at once accepted, and a letter was addressed to Sir Charles Style by the authorities at the Horse Guards, conveying to him the Duke cf Carnbridge's thanks for the noble example he had set to other influential landlords to exert themselves in filling the ranks of the army. The hundred men have since enlisted, and received the ad dition to their bounty offered by Sir Charles.
