Mr. Tl,oohlid, clerk to Mi. thrrel, the plaintiff's at torney, pi oduecgi an entry from the registry of Stoke Newington, of the marriage of plaintiff and his wife. George Shadbolt examined—l am a merchant :n St. Martin's-lane, City. I know the plaintiff, Mr. Robson, well. He is a son of Major Robson. I saw Mrs. Robson shortly before the marriage, at the time the marriage settlement was made. I was one of the trustees under the settlement. The settlement was made on the 10th of Won. r, 1837, and a hew days before the marriage. I did not, see them together atter the marriage before Lk ut. Rolhon went to India. I saw the hitter after he returned from India. In 1841 the other trustee re ' turned, and I then invested 1,6001., belonging to Miss Middleton (now Mrs. Robson), in the Three per Cents. She held the property in her own right. This was on account of being sole trustee, and it was invested in my name. Cross-examined—Plaintiff had, at the time of the settlement, no property to arrange. The settlement was of hiss ;Middleton s property alone, and it was secured to herself after the marriage. Richard Sargent said—l was the solicitor employed to prepare the marriage settlement of Mr. and Mrs. Robson. I produce the settlerm nt, also another subit quently executed, in 1838, securing to Mrs. Robson a certain amount of property there set forth, which in the interim had accrued to her. Cross-examined--Was acquainted with the plaintiff's aunt, a mauler in Maddox-street. I was paid some time atter by Mr. Freshfield, solicitor to Colvil and Co. I did not know why it was he paid me. Alexander Dawson proved the investment of various sums in the names of the trustees of Mre. Robson, and sundry payments made out of the fund. Miss Ellen Shadbolt—Miss Middleton had been living previou'ly with her aunt, Mrs. Kearney. After the marriage the young couple lived for a short time at Mrs. Kearney's. I visited them several times there, and they appeared to be very much attached to each other. Ido not know where they resided after leaving Mrs. Kearney's, though I saw them on visits after that time, and they still seemed much attached. Cross-examined by Sir F. THESIGER—I did not know Miss Middleton before the marriage, though I had seen her once or twice. Lieut.-Colonel Thomas Dobbin, formerly of the 19th Regiment, examined—l knew the father of Miss Mid dieter' well, and also knew the plaintiff. I also have been acquainted with Miss Middleton. Before and alter the marriage I was confidentially consulted by both parties in all their affairs. They appeared after the marriage very happy, and much attached to each other. Alter the plaintiff procured an ensigncy, and went to India, Mrs. Robson still consulted me on all her pecu niary affairs. I was consulted on the purchase of a lieu tenancy for the plaintiff. It cost 270/., and was paid out of a moiety of Mrs. Robson's property, which was coming to the plaintiff, the arrangement being that one half of the property should be secured to each. I re collect calling, on the sth of March last year, on Mr. and Mrs. R..bson, at Middleton-square. This was after the plaintiff had returned from India. I called by appoint ment. Mrs. Robson was living there at the time, but I do not know where Lieutenant Robson was staying. I was not aki are before that visit that there were any differences ; but I learned there was on a second visit. Cross-examined—l have been well acquainted with the plaintiff since a child. He was, I believe, the ille gitimate son of Major Robson. Ido not know whether Mrs. Robson was illegitimate. I visited Mrs. Robson first at lodgings belonging to Mr. Dimewell, and subsequently in Edgewarc-road. These visits were during the absence of the plaintiff in India. I did not see Mrs. Green, the landlady of. the house in Edgeware-road, at the times I called there. The first time I called at Middleton-square, after the return of the plaintiff, I did not learn of any dispute between them, but she afterwards complained of personal violence from the plaintiff, of his throwing her down and abusing her. I heard al: o a statement from the plaintiff accusing his wife. I tried to reconcile them, but failed in my attempts. She refused all reconciliation, and though urgently re quested by the plaintiff to go with him to Chichester, she would not. Ske had been accused of having a child, and that under such an aspersion it was impossible she could again live with him. Re-examined—The plaintiff denied in toto the allega tion of violence. CRIMINAL COURTI77(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. In the second edition of the "Calendar," issued this morning, there were the names of fifty additional pri soners, making the total number committed for this session a hundred and fifty-six. Abraham de Freeze, a general dealer, residing in Goodman's fields, was indicted for receiving a large quantity of silver-plated goods, of the value of 461., the property of Mr. S. Atkins, a Birmingham agent, know ing_it to be stolen. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Ballantine were retained for the prosecution, and Mr. Bodkin defended the prisoner. Mr. S. Atkins, the owner of the stolen property, stated that on Saturday, the 26th September, two persons came to his warehouse, one of whom purchased a quantity of plated goods, to the extent of 461, under the pretence of being about to open a shop. S. Tagg, assistant to Mr. Atkins, stated that he took the gcods to the place to which they were ordered to be sent by Miller, the person who had brought them on this errand. He was accompanied by the son of Mr. At kins, and his orders were not to deliver the goods wi diaai t iet h ce. o l,r3 u , When he arrived at the pl t s h ob ti t n he f : o nf u toe n za tr d h o ee n ri i: y. b na dn an aw: es de joinedmsp Scott . o y t almost shop, By oi wnmehmi ofe.h t t e p r e t e o r d s , o these he was ineuced to go to a public-house in the neighbourhood, leaving young Atkins in the shop with :he other, and in care 01 the property. His companion soon left him, and not returning his suspicions was ex cited, and on going to the shop be found the other man gone away, and the goods missing. Miller and Scott oad since confessed to the robbery. K. Davis, a policeman, having learned to whom the goods were sold, went to Mr. De Freeze's shop, and inquired whether he had bought any plated articles ? He said fiat he had, on the 29th September, and had given 481. for them. That was three days after the goods were stolen. J. Pike said that he bought the goods of the prisoner for 211. De Freeze's shop was an open shop, like a broker's, and he saw them exhibited in the window. After a week's negotiation he agreed to purchase them, and paid 211. for the lot on the 9th of October. He after wards sold several of them to different parties. henry Bull, jeweller, of Goodman's-fields, stated that he had bou 6 ht part of the articles produced in court of the last witness, Pike. When brought to him they were in excellent condition. Mr. Atkins being recalled, said the marks had not been obliterated, and in some cases the wrapping paper had not b een changed. He, witn ess, p aid for them in jewel lery the prime cost. N. J. Wing, assistant to Mr. Herbert, of Queen's identified two of the spirit stands, buildings, Bromp ton, some n utcrackers, an d a pair of candlesticks, and stated). /.sed of lik for 5 10s. that they were purcha to Messrs.e Gaut, pawnbrokers, of S. Holly, sh opma identified part of the p ro p ert y , 42, Albany-gate, alson been bought of Pike for six teenand proved that th e y had shillings. Mr. S. Atkins, on being r ecalled, said; that part of these goods were of hi s own manufacture. He estimated the value of the goods at 46/. e Mr. BODKIN addressed the j ur y for d b as ot th the p ri goo soner, con tending s eig the probability there f tra ode. He would show bought in the ordinary way for sale by by the op en way in Is hich they were exposed m _ the prisoner, who had been, in the first instance, su moned a s a w i tness , an d in that capacity had appeared_ two or th ree t i mes b e f ore the magistrate, a nd also had given every information in his power. Several witnesses were called to character, all of whom bad known the prisoner old several for fourteen years , of them more than spoke in the twenty years, and who highest terms. Mr. Justice PATTESON summed up. he jury, utter a very brief consultation, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. There was a loud expression of approbation at the ver dict, but it was instantly suppressed. The goods were ordered to be given up to Mr. Atkins. At the conclusion of the trial Mr. ROBINSON made an application to the Court in favour of Miller, under the plea that he had given all the information he possessed, and had been very instrumental in the recovery of the property. The JUDGE replied that he would take the matter into consideration, and consult the Recorder, before whom both Miller and Scott, his accompli ce, had pleaded guilty last session. CLERKEN WELL.-(THIS DAY.) The Court was occupied during a considerable time this in,..rning in healing a counter-charge preferred by a female against Constable 240 G, under the foil-owing circumstances : The constable charged her with being drunk and dis orderly, and in answer she said the charge was false, and had been preferred by the constable, because, a f ter treating him and another to gin at the Pewter Platter public-ho, se, in Charles-street, Hatton-garden, she re fused to aquw him to take improper liberties with her. She stated that she was a person of respectable conduct and character, and worked for Mr. Winkes, of No. 4, North-place, and other extensive shopkeepers. Mr. CONBE said this was a case which required in vestigation, and he should adjourn it to get the evidence of the other constable, and some person from the public house. In about an hour those parties arrived, and their evi dence havite. ; been taken, Mr. COMBE said he considered that the policeman had made out his charge against the prisoner, while sbe had failed in substantiating her's against him, and he should cons, quently fine her ss. for being drunk. John Orton was charged with stealing a quantity of grains from the brewery of Messrs. Reid and Co., of Liquorp nod street. It appeared that latterly the system of pillage going on by lads like the prisoner, who were continually on the watch at the grain-shoot when the dairy-carts were loaded, had very much increased, and several complaints had been made at the station-house. The prisoner was observed last night in the act of taking away a large hamper, which he had filled from the shoot in :Liquor pond-street, when he was apprehended. Mr. CoBBE said he understood all these grains were contracted tor, and inquired whether the contractor was in attendance. Sergeant Boyce replied that he was not. CONBE said if people made complaints, and then when the thief was discovered, did not choose to attend to prosecute, the system was encouraged by themselves only. As no one was present to prosecute, he should discharge the prisoner. Mr. Mallett, the chief clerk, stated that a beneyoltint individual, under the initial signature C. V., had transmitted a donation of 5/. for the relief of such de- serving objects as the presiding, magistrate might select. MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) John Burke was charged with committing an assault on James Corbet. The complainant, an apprentice to a collier, said he went last night to the Queen's Theatre, Tottenham street, Tottenham-court-road, and arrived there before the doors were opened; but the prisoner, who was late, got upcn the rails at a private door in the neighbour hood of the theatre, and jumped down on bis shoulders, and when the complainant refused to bear him on his shoulders, the prisoner, still standing on them, lifted his hob-nai.ed shoe and stamped upon his head so as to cut it open. The prisoner said he was thrown off the rails by another, and could not avoid getting upon the boy's shoulders. Myers, the officer of the theatre, said it was a conti nual practice followed by the young lads who were late in coming, to jump off these rails on any one, woman or man, no matter whom, in order to get in first. It was impossible to prevent it except by severe punishment. Mr. flAnDwiex. sentenced the prisoner to a fine of 205., or ten days' imprisonnu nt. Luke Farrell, a most miserable looking wretch, was charged with stealing a pint pot. Joseph Silk, stableman, Masoa's Arms•yard, proved the taking of the pot by the prisoner. The prisoner said, when askei why he had done so, that his life was miserable, that he had been a soldier, and was discharged. He was born in the Isle of France; his father was there in the 87th Regiment. He had been two years in London, and during all that time he had been gathering bones and rags, and trying to live ; but he was both naked and starving. His clothes were such, and his dirty appearance, that no one would now em ploy him or trust him ; and so wretched was he, that he would prefer being shot to continuing the kind of life he had been compelled to live. The Mendicity officers said they had seen him about the streets begging and gathering rags Mr. HARDWICK sent him for a month to the House of Correction, for the unlawful possession of the pint pot. MONUMENT TO THE MEMORY OF THE LATE THOMAS CLARKSON. (From the Ipswich Express, Dec. 15.) Yesterday (Monday) a meeting took place at the Shire Hall, Woodbridge, to take into consideration the pro priety of erecting a monument to the memory of the late Thomas Clarkson, Esq., in Playford Church. The fol lowing gentlemen were present :—R. N. Shawe, Esq. ; Messrs. Thomas, Jenny. Biddell, Meadows, Wood, Gur don, Piper, Francis ; Revs. Moore, West, Webster, Taylor, &e. ROBERT NEWTON &UWE, Esq., as chairman, stated the object of the meeting, and sai that he had received commnnications from upwards of seventy individuals, who were anxious to promote the object in view. He could not read the whole of them to the meet ing, but he should not do justice to Mr. Arcedeckne, without stating that that gentleman had said he should feel great pleasure in contributing, although bis property had been greatly depreciated by the exertions of the illustrious individual alluded to. One communication had suggested that a monument should be erected on the Market Hill, Woodbridge. Various plans had been proposed; amongst them the re storation of the church and chancel at Playford, a new east window, and a suitable monument inside. He would leave it to the gentlemen present to determine what was the best plan to propose, and would be glad to co-operate in any that met the approbation of the ma jority. The Rev. EDWARD MoORE said that he had communi cated with the bishop of the diocese, and had received a reply from Archdeacon Ormrod, who highly approved of renovating the church, and would be happy to contri bute towards it ; but he (Mr. Moore) was aware that there were many ardent admirers of the celebrated phi lanthropist, particularly in the Society of Friends, who would object to contributing towards the renovation of the church ; he would, therefore, propose that subscrip • Lions should be received for either the restoration of the church and chancel, or for the monument, or for both. The Rev. H. TAYLOR was opposed to this plan, as the chancel was the property of the Earl of Bristol, and it was unnecessary to put money into that noble man's pocket. Mr. ARTHUR BIDDELL also objected, on the ground that there were persons who were bound to keep the church in repair, and that they were able and willing to do so ; and besides this, he observed there would be no security that the alterations and improvements would continue. The successors of the present officers might re-alter and do away with whatever improvements were about to be made. He wished to see a monument erected that no one would have power to remove, quite independent of the church, and unconnected with it—not hav!ng in view the saving of the pockets of the parishioners of Play ford. The Rev. T. D. WEST said that neither the chancel nor the church were worthy, in their present state, to receive a monument such as it was desirable to erect to the memory of the deceased. They should both be re paired; and then, be thought, the church would be the proper place for the monument, as it would be open to all. The Rev. WEBSTER differed from the last speaker. As the church would not be accessible at all times, there would be the trouble of obtaining the key, and tees would have to be paid. The Rev. T. D. WEST said the same objections might be made to St. Paul's, and Westminster Abbey. The Rev. H. Taylor hoped the gentlemen would pause before they carried Mr. Moore's proposition, as ho considered that a place of worship was the last place in the world in which monuments should be erected, as they distracted the atten • tion of the worshippers. But in this case the objection was stronger than in most cases, as Thomas Clarkson was a representative of the whole mass of man kind—he belonged to no county, and to no one sect of religion. He fell in with the proposition of Mr. Riddell, that the monument should be erected outside the church, open to all. The Rev. WEBSTEk proposed, as an amendment to Mr. Moore's proposition, that a monument be erected outside the church. This was seconded by Mr. Taylor, and when put to the vote, was carried by a large majority. It was then proposed and carried, that a committee be formed to carry out the proposition, and that subscrip tion.) be received at Messrs. Alexander's banks, at Ips wich and Woodbridge. - Although it is understood that Lord Brougham will propose that a national monument be placed in West minster Abbey, in commemoration of the venerable philanthropist, yet we should consider our locality disgraced did it not do something to mark the spot where the sacred remains of Thomas Clarkson are de posited. A BURGLAR'S ACCOUNT OF HIMSELF.—At the Belfast quarter sessions, last week, John Sloan, Frede rick M'Cann, Peter Trainor, and Patrick Magee, were indicted for_ having, on the 30th of August last, broken into the house of Catherine M'Culloch, at Belfast, and stolen therefrom and carried away a large amount of property, consisting of silver spoons, gold rings, brooches, silver pickle-forks, a pistol, dagger, and other articles. The case having been satisfactorily proved, the prisoners were found guilty, and the Court sentenced Sloan to 12 months' imprisonment in the House of Correction, and each of the others to be transported for a term of 15 years, the heaviest punishment the Court had in its power to award. The prisoner Magee then asked per mission to address the Court. This man (Sloan), he said, had been with him four times in gaol for robberies. Sloan was not his proper name ; his right name was Hugh Boyle. His brother had been at the bar before, and had been in the borough gaol in Liverpool. He (Magee) had come from America, and had taken up with pickpocket. Sloan had taken him away with when he was in America, where he had been trying anot herh to i m ear n associates, an andhonestd h a him i wanted m t o begin tgiveo thieve up ie v e his oagain.ld Sloan said to him, " What is the use of labouring as Maze Course Sloan said to him, ab o ut a the e u do, when you can make more by robbing another ?"

COLUMBUS SOClETY.—Yesterday a numerous meet ing of persons interested in geographical inquiry was held at the London Library, in St. James's-square, for the formation of a society under the above name, the object of which is the re-publication of ancient works and travels illustrative of geographical research. The chair was taken by Sir R. I. Murchison, the late Presi dent of the Royal Geographical Society, and several re solutions for the formation and conduct of the society were adopted. We can state from authority that the late scurrilous attacks upon the Duchess of Marlborough, which have appeared in some of the daily papers, respecting an al. leged violation of the game laws, are wholly and mali ciously false.--Post, THE SUN, _LONDON, WEDNESDAY EV:ENING, DECEMBER 16, 1846. SHOCKING CASE OF PARRICIDE A youth of 19, named Chevillon, and a boy of 15, named Guy, were tried on Thursday, at Versailles, by the Court of Assize of the Seine-et-Oise, the first for parricide, and the second for complicity in the murder. The circumstances of this case are horrible. The father of Chevillon, a labouring man, little more than 40 years of age, was about twelve months ago attacked with a paralysis of his limbs, for which he was treated, without effect, in several hospitals. The poor fellow, however, did not despair of recovery, and having a little money , ho resolved o n return i ng to his lodging—a room on the ground floor of a house at Versailles—and there obtain ing medical assistance. His son, also a labourer, but a youth of dissolute life and very profligate habits, occu pied the mom with his father w ho was so completely helpless that h e cou ld not rise,from his bed, and it was necessary, when he wanted air, to lift him from it, and place him at the door. On the 23d of August last he was still sanguine of recovery, and had a foot bath, and took some refreshment. Only a day or two previously he had received from some member of his family, on whom he had claims, a sum of 200 f., which was placed in a b ag near his b, d. On the following morning, at half -past seven, some neighbours were called in by young Chevillon, who told them that his father was dying. This was indeed the case; they found the father insensible, and removed him to a hospital, where he died a few hours afterwards. On a post mor teen examination the medical men declared that the man had not died of the malady under which he had so long suffered, but of suffocation ; and as it was known that the son was in company with Guy, the younger prisoner, and had passed the night of the 23d of August in de bauchery, spending a good deal of money, and as the 2001. which the father had received were not to be found, it was supposed that he had stolen it, and caused the death of his parent. Young Chevillon and Guy were arrested, and the following confession was made by the latter :—He said that he was in the room of the de ceased with the son, who purchased some charcoal, at the desire of the father, to make a small fire on the hearth, to warm some broth; but instead of doing this the son made a large fire on the floor, and unseen by the father, took away the bag containing:the 200 f. The room became very hot, the sick man complained, but the son told him the heat would do him good, and then left with Guy, closing the door after him. They went to a dance, and when that was over, to a public-house, where Che villon drank in company with several persons of bad character. At about five in the morning be sent Guy to his father's lodging to see whether he was dead. Guy returned and said that he had not courage to enter the room, but he looked through the window and saw the father in the agonies of death. Chevillon remained drinking for about two hours, and then went to the place himself. Finding the father speechless, and there fore unable to give any information as to the cause of the hopeless state in which he was lying, Chevillon, after sweeping the remains of the charcoal into the fire place, went out and called the neighbours. Chevillon at first denied that he had made any fire, and pretended that his father's death had taken place in the due course of nature, but some of the witnesses having declared that the stone floor of the room was hot when they entered, and that there were still embers on the hearth, he shifted his course, and made the following statement: —His father, he said, had become weary of life, and resolved to ab r id ge h i s suffer i ngs b y suicide. He had given the two hundred francs to his son, as being no longer of use to himself, and desired him to make a large charcoal fire on the floor, in order that the fumes might produce death, and when the fire had been kindled he ordered the son to leave. This statement did not impose upon the examining magistrikte, and it was contradicted not merely by the confession of Guy, but by much circumstantial evidence. The prisoner Chevillon persisted in his falsehood, and pretended that he thought he was doing his duty in obeying the in junctions of his father. On the trial the counsel for Chevillon endeavoured to shake the evidence as to the cause of the death of the deceased ; and, secondly, sup posing that he might have died of suffocation, sought to obtain credit for the statement of his clier.t, urging at the same time that in law the man who assists another to commit suicide is not guilty of murder. The jury, however, found Chevillon guilty of parricide, but with extenuating circumstances ; and he was sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment with hard labour. Guy was acquitted.—Paris paper. THE LATE FIRE at FLIXT ON HALL (From the Ipswich Express of yesterday.) The bare walls are standing, the whole being coin. pletely gutted. The hall has been under extensive re pair the last half-year, and a great number of hands have been employed; many of their tools were consumed. The loss cannot at present be estimated, but it is thought that 40,0001. will not cover the damage. The ancient paintings, sculpture, &c., which were exceeding rare and valuable, never can be restored. The following description of the ruined mansion is taken from " Raw's Pocket Book of 1817." Latterly an immense sum has been expended in decorating the building, and in accumulating articles of rarity and value:— " This venerable mansion was built about the year 1615, and continued to be the residence of the ancient family of Tasborough, from the time of its erection to the middle of the present century, when it was purchased by the late Mr. Adair. The style of the architecture is what has been called Inigo Jones's Gothic, blending the stateliness of more remote times with the mode of build ing in Italy, then the prevailing taste. The principal front is to the north. The hall and staircase are grand, the apartments large and spacious. "In the hall are busts of the Right Hon. C. J. Fox, Lord Keppel, and General Wolfe. In the staircase above the door entering the saloon is a fine bust of Inigo Jones, who built the house. The saloon contains thirty-four paintings by various masters, among which are the following:—A Madonna and Child; Saint P,ter and the Angel; Fruits and Flowers, by Van Os; Saint Mark's, at Venice, by Canaletti ; Landscapes, by Tille mans; Sea Pieces, by Vandervelde, &c. The library con tains a choice collection of books; a portrait of William Adair, Esq., with his groom and two horses; a portrait of the Duke of Bolton's famous horse Sweepstakes : both this and the saloon are excellent rooms. In an adjoining bed-room is a portrait of General Huss, of Elling Helve; a Turkish Lady ; a B att l e Piece; Joseph and Potiphar's Wife, &c., all very finely paint ed. In the other bed rooms are the foll ow i ng paintings: — S t . J o h n th e Bap tist's Head, St. A gnes, M ark Antony an d Cl eopatra , a Sleeping Venu s , L ucret i a, &c. In the di n i ng - room i s a portrait of the present proprietor of this mansion, whose pleasant countenance confirms the public report of his politeness and urb an i ty . In the draw i ng - room are judi ciously collected together the portraits of the late Duke of Richmond, his father, his mother, and sister, by Sir J. Reynolds; the late Duke of Cumberland; Sir Charles Saunders, by Sir J. Reynolds ; L o rd Anson, Lord Keppel, Lord Albemarle, General Hughson, Lord George Lennox, General Napier, &c. " To the south was an open portico and colonnade, now closed up, and converted into separate rooms. " The grounds in front are ornamented with extensive plantations, which, united with the fine woods-of the park, present to the e y e an appearance o f grandeur and magnificence, and, with the view of the river, has a most beautiful effect." THE LATE EARL OF YARROROUGIL—The suscrip- tions received for the purpose of erecting a monument, or sea-mark, to the memory of this deceased nobleman, now amounts to upwards of 6001. The committee have determined upon erecting the monument in the Isle of Wight, and operations will commence early in the spring. The Marquis of Donegal is to succeed the late Earl of Yarborough as Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron. EXPERIMENTS AT WOOLWICH MARSHES.—Mr. Lancaster, jun., carried on experiments yesterday (December 15th), with the rifle ball, submitted by him, in the form of a sugar loaf. The experiments were made in the presence of Lieutenant Colonel Dundas, C. 8., who appea re d hi g hl y satisfied with the result. About 40 rounds were fired, some at 1,200 yards, some at 900 yards and 600 yards. The whole of the firing was very good, and, at 1,200 yards, the balls entered th e t arget to the d e pth o f an i nch. The first three rounds, at 900 yards each, entered the bull's eye, the aim being so correctly taken, and the form of the ball ensuring a correct course, at that considerable distance, for small arms. TIIE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—Arrangements are now in progress for the extension of the electric tele graph on the Great Western Railway. The communi cation at present is only available as far as Slough, a distance of 181 miles, but when the necessary measures are completed, it is intended to extend it in the first place to Bristol. When the communication between the metropolis, Bath, and Bristol is completed, it is intended, if the sanction of Government can be obtained, to extend the telegraph to Exeter, on the Bristol and Exeter Rail way, onwards to Plymouth, on the South Devon Atmo spheric line, and thence across the Hamoaze to Falmouth, when the Cornwall Railway comes into ope; c'o - i. At the Insolvency Court, Lincoln Castle, the other day, a labourer named Sleight Hill, p e ti t i one d to be dis charged.; he had no means of payin g b eyond his daily wages as a servant in husbandry to his father, and had incurred no debts, except that for which he was sued. His brother was in a small way of trade in London, and had induced him (the insolvent) to sign his name on a blank stamp, which he said would be filled up for 2001. ; the brother went into partnership, failed , and died soon after. The insolvent was sued on the note, which had been paid away, and was taken in judgment.

BED ILL IN IRELAND. _Excessive indolence and excessive fondness of money for the minimum amount service. The truth of this fact every timidity, and you have na turally accounted for the never _ ending combinations to enforce o p lator and every director of any enterprise in Ireland speculator or later finds out to his cost, lie finds, notwith standing the tempting appearance of low wages and li v i n g, that as soon as there is a demand for cheap rheanvderoyf he h as to pay the very highest price labour or food, %Tou t for the very smallest return—and this not of his own option. lie is forced to pay it by c om bi nat i ons ; an d his concern i s consequently often ruined. The labourer i who never in his life earned a shilling a day, or indeed knew how, or was able to do it, will, on the first oppor tunity, show his natural gregariousness and his greedi ness and his na tive indolence at the sa me time ; he will , combine to compel the p a y ment of s s. a day and never dream of doing more than a shilling's worth of work. We know that this is not flattering ; neither does it dip deeply into the loved mystification of " past centuries of oppression," but it is nevertheless an existing fact which operates most injuriously to the country, ruins manyfair enterprises, and deters the investment of capital. —The Topic.

The Ethiopian Serenaders made their first appearance for the season here last evening. They gave divers old favourites, and one or two new pieces. Among the latter" Mary Blanc" was the most noticeable. It is one of those little tragic domestic dramas of slavery which go further to produce in the mind of any right-minded Iran an utter hatred and repugnance to the atrocious system, than any speeches or arguments. Mary Blanc is a negress who is married. Her owner separates her from her husband, and sells her to a distant plantation. She runs away, and dies in the woods of want, and the husband dies of a broken heart. Mary Blanc and Lucy Neal, as sung by the Ethiopian serenaders, will better serve the purposes of the abolitionists than all the speeches that have ever been delivered on all the platforms in England and America. They appeal at once to the heart ; and, in such a cause, an appeal, to the heart is irresistible ; it disarms sophistry and is superior to all the reasoning in the world. Pell, the bone player came out in great force, His crescendo is most artistical, and the more frequently we hear him the more are we convinced that the bones would be a most efficient aid to an orchestra. The first composer who shall introduce them will make a fortune from his opera. But it is not only as a musician that Pell is great. He is great also as a comic actor. Let any of our first rate comedians—our professional " makers of fun"—try to be comic, seated in a chair, and they will at once be compelled to yield the palm to Pell. He has the humour of the legs— there is not a kick of the heels, not a cross ing of the legs, not a motion of the arms (and who can give such eccentric motions to the arms es Pell), but what has meaning in it. He is the foun der of a new school of humour, in which, doubtless, he will have many followers ; but to him is due the honour of being the originator of the school. Before we con clude, one word of advice to the Ethiopian serenaders. Gentlemen, your school is essentially national. Beware how you attempt to make it otherwise, by ingrafting on it the slang of the lower orders of the English. We thought we observed a slight tendency to do this in some of your new songs. Avoid it altogether. As much nigger slang as you like, the more the better. American nigger slang can never be vulgar in England, because it is not the slang of the English vulgar ; but for your own sakes keep up to the highest pitch the in tense American nigger nationality which has hitherto constituted the great charm, because it is the great novelty of your performances. The house was crowded to excess in every part, and the performances went off admirably. ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE. A grand equestrian-comic fairy pantomime, entitled ",The Forty Thieves; or Harlequin Ali Baba, and:the Rob • bers' Cave," will be produced on a scale of unlimited gran deur, embodying novel scenic and mechanical effects, with Mr. Batty's trained steeds, and extensive resources, for which his establishment possesses alone the capability of producing—commencing with the silver lake, with the fairies of the waters, and their coursers of light, entry of the queen, and her winged steeds of the grotto ; the fairies' charm, to protect Ali:Baba and his son Ganem ; the vision, and departure of the fairies on their mission, whilst the sylvan grot fades away to the forest of Bag dad, with the robbers' cave ; the woodman at the tree ; the horn sounds, and approach of the forty thieves on their horses with plunder; the thieves represented by the most notorious characters—highwaymen who have been resuscitated expressly for the purpose ; the celebrated charm of " Open Sesame ;" Ali Baba learns the secret ; descent of Orcobrand, the forest foe; his pledge to pro tect Ilassarac ; immense shower of rain takes place, and comic flight of the robbers; Ali Baba's cottage; the starving family, and magical appearance of the Geni the fairy temple ; street in Bagdad, with Mustapha'a stall ; the cobbler ; manomvres with the robber's horse, nith comic situation of the steed, caused by the fairies' power ; verandah of the forty jars ; the pretended oil merchant ; the robbers subdued ; Morgiana pours bail ing oil over them ; beautiful transformation to the realms of joy, with fairy rose pavilion ; the change of Mustapha and Ilassarac, clown and pantaloon ; harlequin from Gancm, and columbine from Morgiana. The comic bu siness commences with various hits at the times, and the usual comic struggles of the clown, &c., leading to a grand scene of the panoramic procession of the Welliug ton statue, conveying it along Park-lane to the arch, by the Life Guards, dray-horses, &c , realising his tribute to England's hero. Fairlop fair is introduced, with a variety of gymnastic novelties, forming a varied change to the other attractive scenes, leading to a last grand scene of fairy tableaux, illuminated roso circles of million jets, or revolving stars of light. This beautiful mechani cal wheel will occupy the entire width of the stage, and presents a new feature in pantomime, made at great expense, for Mr. Batty, by Mr. Hinchley, gas-fitter, Westminster-road, from his own designs and arrange ments. Clown, Mr. Rochez, Pantaloon, Mons. Saperini, Columbine, Miss Louisa Waite, harlequin, Mr. W. H. Harvey. The pantomine is written by Nelson Lee, Esq., expressly for Dlr. Batty, and the whole arranged and produced by Mr. W. D. Broadfoot. RECAL OF THE FRENCH CONSUL FROM MAURITIUS. There is every reason to believe that the French Consul at the Mauritius, M. Barbet de Jouy, has, on account of his unwarrantable letter to the English Ad miral Decres, been recalled by his Government. The following are the circumstances of the case:— Admiral llacres was invited to a ball by the officers on the station. According to etiquette a list of the guests were laid before him, and on the name of the French Consul meeting his eye, he observed that that gentleman had omitted to pay him his respects according to usage. Thereupon two officers waited npon the French Consul to withdraw the invitation, with a courteous explanation of the cause. The Consul, so far from apologising, wrote an insulting letter to the Admiral, which the latter enclosed to his Government. Lord Palmerston laid the case before the French Government, and the latter have decided in the way we have just intimated. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) BETTING AT MANCHESTER.—TuzsDAY.

SUSPICIOUS DEATH OF A SAlLOR.—Yesterday Mr. W. Carter held an adjourned inquest, at the Swan Tavern, Battersea-bridge, upon the body of a man un known, who had been found drowned. The body had been picked up on Thursday last, as it floated up with the tide, and conveyed to-the above house. It had been in the water some time, but there wero marks visible of ill-usage. The neck was discoloured, as if some ligature had been fastened round it, and there were two incised wounds on the face. The circumstances were so sus picious,that the coroner adjourned the inquiry for a post mortem examination. Yesterday Dr. W. Connor deposed to having examined the body. From the ar pearances, his opinion was that deceased died from im mersion in the water, although there were marks of some violence, but not sufficient to prove fatal. Two young women, living in the neighbourhood of the Commercial road, were examined with regard to the identity of the deceased. They both stated their belief, but refused to swear positively, that his name was Robert Pepper, and he had been a boatswain. He was last seen alive about two months since, when he joined the Pestonjee Bo manjee, which was lying off Woolwich with convicts for Sydney. Pepper had, it appeared, been shipped by a J e w named Solomons when intoxicated, and when he knew the vessel he was going into he became very dis pirited. The witnesses, however, had believed him to be on his voyage to Sydney. The jury returned the fol lowing verdict:—" That the deceased was found drowned in the Thames; that he had no marks of violence as to cause death; but who he was, or by what means he came into the water, the jury have not sufficient. evidence to determine." SUDDEN DEATH IN THE STREETS.—Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr. Baker, at the Bell, in Petti coat-lane, Whitechapel, on the body of Jacob Mormon, aged seventy years, a sugar baker, in tho employ of Messrs. Martineau and Co., in Whitechapel. On Sun , day evening last the deceased was proceeding along Petticoat-lane, when he suddenly staggered and fell to the ground. lie was immediately raised from the ground by a City police-constable, who discovered him in a state of insensibility. He was conveyed to the above house, but he expired before he reached there. Verdict, " Na tural death." THE LATE CATTLE Snow.—The number of per sons who visited the late Annual Smithfield Club Cattle 11 Show, during the four days the exhibition was open for public inspection, exceeded 40,000.

The arguments having concluded, his Honour deferred delivering judgment till he had read the bill and answer, as well as the evidence. The Court rose at balf•past three o'clock. (Before Sir J. K. BRucE.) HOMIER V. THE BRIGHTON, LEWES, AND HASTINGS RAILWAY COMPANY. This was a motion for a new trial on the ground that the jury had not given a verdict according to the evidence. The case was tried in July last, before Lord Denman and a special jury, on three issues— the first, as to whether a road between Chinckly turn pike road and the Lewes turni,ike road was a public road ; the second, what was the width of the arch of a bridge constructed by the defendants at a certain point on the line ; and, thirdly, whether the bridge was in height, width, and position, such as the defendants were bound by the Act of Parliament to construct. The arguments having concluded, his lloNoun said he was of opinion that in finding a verdict fur the defendants the jury had not paid atten tion to the charge of Lord Denman, with reference to the dedication of the whole road in question to the pub lie, and, therefore, on the second and third issues would direct a new trial. The Court then rose. COURT OF QUEEN'S BEACH, Dec. 15. THE QUEEN V. RICHARD DUNN. An impression seems to have gone abroad that this remarkable case would be tried here to-day. TILE notion was erroneous. The case is a special jury one, and cannot Le tried during these sittit4,t, without a special application to the Court to appoint a day before the expiration of the or dinary sittings. No appl:cation of this nature was made during the morning, which was occupied with a running-down case of not the slightest interest, except to the parties immediately concerned. The Queen v. Dunn stands 92 in the printed list. In all pro bability it will be taken in its ordinary course. NEGLIGENCE OF AN ATTORNEY-SMITH V. SHAW. Mr. Watson, Q.C. and Mr. Borrill were for the plain tiff, and Mr. Parry for the defendant. This was an action of a novel but an important character. The plaintiff is a surgeon, and the defendant an attorney, on Fish-street-hill ; and the action was brought to recover compensation in da mages for the want of proper care and skill on the part of the defendant in conducting an action which the plaintiff had brought against a person.named Briggs. By his carelessness and want of skill, it was alleged, a judgment had been obtained against him, and an exe cution put into his house on account of it, of which the plaintiff had received no previous intimation from the defendant, and which had cost 211. The defendant had placed various pleas on the record, setting forth that he did not promise, that he bad well and faithfully discharged his duties, and also that he was unable to inform the plaintiff that a judgment had been obtained against him, as he had changed his residence. Mr. WATSON, QC., stated the case to the jury. He said the plaintiff, Mr. Smith, was a surgeon, who had carried on business at Walworth, but who now resided at Stockwell, and that the action was brought to recover compensation in damages from the defendant, who had acted as his attorney. The defendant had car ried on business in Fish-street-hill for several years, and had a country residence at Walworth. Whenever a pro fessional person was employed, no matter what the nature of the profession might be, he was bound to use proper skill and diligence in the discharge of the duties for which he was engaged; but if he was not possessed of the skill necessary for the proper carrying on of his professional busines , , and should be guilty of negligence, he was re sponsible to his client for any damage which might result to his interest in consequence of his waist of skill and want of diligence. Fur ought lie (Mr. Watson) knew, the defendant might, be a very skilful practitioner, and might exercise skill in the service of other clients, but in the case of the plaintiff he certainly had not. The plaintiff had attended and supplied medicines to a minor named Briggs, and a debt of 16L 7s. had been contracted with him in consequence, and an action was brought against the young man for the amount; but as it appeared that he was wholly without the means of self-support, and that the medicine was supplied with the cognisance of his father, Mr. Shaw was instructed to bring an ac tion against him for the amount. The action was brought in this court, but, as it was under 20/., it was arranged that it should be tried before the Sheriff. Notice of trial was given, but it was found, owing to the absence of the plaintiff's assistant, who was abroad, that the evidence would not be sufficient to prove the plaintiff's case ; it was not then proceeded with ; the:efore the notice of trial was countermanded. Mr. Briggs, IRA liking to be in hot water all his life, applied for judg ment as in case of a nonstit, in order to put an end to the action. The plaintiff finding that he could then !prove his claim, proceeded a second time to put the matter in a train for trial, and it was arranged that it should be tried before the Sheriff in six weeks, and a fresh notice of trial was prepared, but served a day too late by the defendant. He then took another step, which almost any competentpractitioner must have known would only be incurring additional expenses. He went before Mr. Justice Wightman, at chambers, in order to get the rule set aside, which the Learned Judge refused to do, but told him that the order was a peremptory one, and that he could not interfere with a rule of the superior court ' • but he advised him to apply to th e Q ueen ' s Bench, in Banco, to enlarge the order. He might have done this on the 2d November, and no doubt the Court would have acceded to such an application, but he did not take any such step, and on the sth November judgment was signed by the defendant "as in case of a nonsuit," so that the action was at once brought to an end. The de fendant had notice of the taxation of the costs, which were taXed at about 181., and no doubt attended to it, but he gave no notice to the plaintiff, and the first-inti mation he received of the fact was the visit of a sheriff's officer, and the putting of an execution into his house. The levy came to 211, and as he happened to have the amount in the house, he paid it out. The plaintiff, there fore, sought compensation for tfe expense of the levy, and the costs of the debt, which were about 10/., as well as compensation for the injury which he had sustained on account of the negligent conduct of the defendant. Mr. Driver, an attorney, the plaintiff's brother-in law, was examined at considerable length, from which it appeared that he bad taken an active part in the legal proceedings in the case of Briggs ; but he stated that he merely acted an the plaintiff 'a friend, and under the directions of the defendant, his sole object being to forward the matter. It was shown that the d._ fondant did not live far from the plaintiff, and that a notice was placed on his former residence showing where he had gone. Mr. PARRY, in his address to the jury, contended that the defendant, by the course he had adopted, had placed the plaintiff in a position to renew his claim against Briggs, as the witness referred to was still absent, and that it could be renewed now with a reasonable proba bilty of success; that Mr. Driver was the agent of the plaintiff. in the matter in question, and had transacted, and consequently knew all about the proceedings, and that, if any mistakes had occurred, they were clearly attributable to him, and to no one else. Great difficulty had been experienced in commu nicating with Mr. Driver ; and as he was an attorney, and had acted as Mr. Smith in the case, some latitude was allowed him by the defendant, and because he had acted erroneously was the defendant to be blamed ? Mr. Walker, the defendant's clerk, gave evidence con firmatory of the defence set up. Mr. WATSON having replied, Lord DENMAN summed up. He considered that the defendant was not free from blame; and that he ought to have known that the application to Mr. Justice Wight man, at chambers, would be of no avail, as the strict rules of the Court could not be departed from. He left it to the jury to say whether the plaintiff' was or was not entitled to damages, and, if so, the amount. , The jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, 30/. The Court will sit in bane.) at Westminster, according to notice, at twelve o'clock precisely, on Thursday, the 17th instant. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. • EAGER V. GM:MOOD. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a market gardener at Blackheath, to recover compensation in damages for the seduction of his daughter by the defendant. Mr. Prentice appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Hum phrey for the defendant. Mr. PRENTICE stated the following as the facts of the case:—The defendant carried on. business as a potato salesman at Greenwich, and paid his addresses to the daughter of the plaintiff, Mary Ann Eager. His ad dresses were accepted ;. be was treated at the house of the plaintiff as the future husband of his daughter, and numerous visits were paid between the parties. Upoti one of these occasions the defendant effected the ruin of the plaintiff's daughter; from that time the visits of the defendant became less frequent than formerly, and in the course of a few months the plaintiff's daughter was delivered of a child in her father's house; the child died, and the y oung woman was indicted for the murder of her infant, and tried at the Old Bailey and acquitted. Repeated appli cations had been made to the defendant for some assist ance, but be bad refused to render any, even upon the trial at the Old Bailey, and had it not been for the kindness of some of her friends, the young woman would not have had the assistance of counsel at the trial. The Learned Counsel concluded an impassioned appeal to the jury, by calling the following witnesses: — Mr. Clayton, who said that the sister-in-law of the plaintiff had often seen the defendant at the house of the plaintiff, and upon these occasions he al wa y s trea t e d h er niece with kindness. Cross-examined by Mr. HumPnnEY—Her niece was confined on the 26th of June, 1545, she was tried on he 18th of August upon the indictment for the murder. Mary Ann Ecter, examined by Mr. PRENTICE—I )(Tame first acquainted with the defendant aboat Ja mary; 1844, by walting upon the hill. I never went to the shop of the Menaaa for my father.

The medical adviser had stated positively that the child was. not a six months' one. The witness herself stated that the connexion took place about Christmas-day. She was confined upon the 26th of June. The defendant could not, therefore, be the father of the child. The LORD CHIEF BARON—There is no evidence at all to go to the jury; the question which the jury would have to decide was, whether the defendant was the father of the child. The jury immediately returned a verdict for the dc. Fondant. RICHARDSON V.

The plaintiff was a bookseller and stationer, carrying on business in Coruhill ; the defendant, Sir James Car michael, Bart., was -one of the promoters, and also a director of the company. Witnesses were called to prove the attendance of the defendant at the various meetings of the company, and the delivery of the goods in question. It appeared, upon cross•examination of some of the witnesses, that some of the goods were supplied prior to the time of the de fendant's connexion with the company, and his being register( d as such. The LORD CHIEF BARON said that there was no doubt but that the defendant knew of the delivery of the goods in question, they being used at the meetings of the company. Those, however, which vire delivered previous to the registration of the defendant as a three tor or promoter, he could not be held liable for. The jury therefore returned a verdict for plaintia . — Damages 151. Leave was given to the defendant to move to enter a nonsuit, if the Court should be of opinion that there was no evidence to go to the jury to fix the liability of the defendant. PRICE OF GOLD.—The premium on gold 'at Paris is 15 per milk; which, at the English IWint price ' o f 3/. 17s. 10111, per ounce for standard gold, (ri ves a , exchange of ,i 5 52 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 54, it follows that gold is 0.02 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold i s 430 i per mark, which, at the English. Mint price of 3/.175. ItAd. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-change of 13 7 ?; and the exchange at Hamb urg h on London Id short being 13 7*, it follows that gold is 0.29 per cent. dearer in Hamburgh than in London. The course of ex change at New York on London is 1061 per cent., and the par of exc h ange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.33 per cent. against England. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills,. at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted froxa the above difference.
