TYPE POSSESSION of the LATERAN CHURCH. The solemn function to be celebrated on the Bth of next month, the taking possession of the Lateran Ba silica, is so peculiar in its nature, and so antique in the form in which his present holiness is about to restore it (his immediate predecessors having departed from the original) that we are sure some account of its institution will be read with interest by all. The Lateran is considered the mother and head of all churches on earth, having been founded by Constantine the Great, and deelicated to the Saviour, to St. John the Baptist, and to the Evangelist of the same name. For merly the Por,es resided in a pala ce ad j oinin g it, and after their co ronation at the Vatican, used to return in procession, with all their court, to visit the sanctuary, and solemr:iy enter into the occupancy of their sacred office. Hence the origin of the function called the "passesso," wh'..ch at first immediately followed the rite of corona ti,,sn, but after the pontiffs left the Lateran Palace, in con 'sequence of the unhealthy atmosphere to which it is ex posed, a later occasion was fixed on for the formery cere mony. The earliest " po,ssesso" of which we have a full account, is that of Leo 111. in the ninth century, accord ing to the order of which the pontiff received the tiara (in form of a helmet of " white cloth," probably silver tissue) at the foot of the stairs before the Vatican Basilica, whilst the priors, or chief magistrates of the civic districts, chanted three times in Latin, " Our Lord Pope Leo-, whom St. Peter has elected in his chair, to sit therein many years." He then mounted his palfrey, and attended by all his court, passed through the crowded at'^ets to the Lateran. Some of the pontiffs were 'crowned out of Rome, but so important was the cere mony in the Lateran considered, that it always followed, as in the case of St. Silvester, who, after his coronation in the church of St. Mary of Collemaggio, without the walls, returned to the city on a white horse to celebrate the possession. The popes who resided at Avignon, of course dispensed with dam rite, but a procession was substituted for it, in which., after receiving the crown, they passed through the city in great magnificence. When Clement the Si-,th made this progress, the Duke of Normandy, eldest s.on of the King of France, the Duke of Burgundy, and the Lord of Dauphiny, acted as his grooms. After the return of the Popes to Rome, we find the custom in use of throwing money to the people, who were allowed the privilege of taking possession of the horse, with its trappings, on which the pontiff had ridden, and of the canopy borne over his head. This practice gave rise to the most dangerous tumults, and similar lawlessness, whether from motives more malignant, actually proved fatal to two, PinslL and Sixtus IV., after which the perquisites of the horse and canopy were with held. The accounts given of the magnificence of the progress from the Vatican at the time the procession was celebrated on the day of the coronation, are such as call the most stately picture before the imagination. The cardinals and prelates all rode in their mitres, copes, rochets, or other most solemn attire, the fantastic richness of the liveries worn by the laics who assisted, the glittering of arms and waving of plumes, the spark ling of gems on the caps and collars of princes and ambassadors ; these were the details of the gorgeous accumulation. An ancient usage was then followed, of having the blessed sacrament borne in a golden ciborium, I on the back of a richly-caparisoned white mule, sur rounded by twelve assistants with great wax torches. In the ceremonial of Innocent VIII. we read that as soon as the Pope left the Piazza of St. Peter's, a marshal of •:he court, called the soldano, bearing attached to his sr..ddle two sacks of money, scattered the coin with both - hands among the people, so skilfully that the more they thronged around, the farther off the specie was thrown, to prevent the impeding of the procession. The depu ties of the Jews presented themselves on the way, with a copy of the Pentateuch, and thus addressed his holi ness:—" We, Hebrews, 0 most blessed father, in the name of our synagogue, supplicate your holiness to deign to confirm and approve the Mosaic law given on Mount Sinai, by the Omnipotent God, to our Pastor Moses, in the same manner as other supreme pontiffs, predecessors of your holiness, approved and confirmed it." The pope answered—" We praise the law, but condemn the observance and intelligence in which you hold it; inasmuch as Him whom you say is yet to come, the church teaches and preaches in all lands, to be already come, and our Lord Jesus Christ." It was an incident characteristic of these wild times (1484), that when Pope Innocent was borne on the portative chair from the church of St. Clement, where he had left his horse, to the Lateran, the impetuosity of the people was so great, that the soldiers who carried him were driven into the church with a violence which placed the pontiff in no slight danger, and in their way to the portal from the high altar, many of the cardinals were thrown down before them. When the Pope was seated at the altar, the antiphon was raised "De stercore erigit poperem," &c., to remind him that he owed his elevation to the provi 'ience of God, and not, like secular princes, to birth or ancestry. He then scattered copper money among the people, saying, Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have will I give thee." After the ceremonies in the Lateran, he was taken to the adjacent chapel of St. Sil vester, and seated at the portal in a porphyry chair, where the prior handed to him a rod in sign of correc tion, the keys of the Basilica and of the palace, the sym bols of his apostolic power; and then girded him with a zone of red s ilk, f rom w hi c h h ung a purse con t a i n i ng twelve jewels allusive to the apostles, and a porticn of musk, all us i ve to t h e wor d s o f S t . Paul, "We are a sweet odour of Christ." The " possesso" of Alexander VI. (1492) had sur passed all former ones, but the full blaze of splendour was reserved for that of the magnificent promoter of the inAellectual interests of his age, the great Alcerias of the church, Leo X. This pontiff ascended the throne 1513, and from the beginning of his reign displayed that taste for the gorgeous which distinguished him no less than his generosity towards the intellectually gifted. He determined to ride in the procession to the Lateran on the horse that had borne him when taken prisoner, a year before, by the French, at Ravenna. He did not use the ,‘ triregno,' of his predecessor, Julius IL, but another ^of cloth of gold, with three circlets of gems, and decked with peacock's feathers. A crown of these feathers had been used also by Innocent 111. (1 198 ), their introduc • -- tion being intended to convey a symbol of the transi toriness and, apart from divine aid, the feebleness of all earthly power. In the procession of Leo, coins of gold and silver were profusely scattered amongst the people; two hundred horsemen in white and red livery opened the train ; then followed the servants of the cardinals and a hundred signors of the houses of Orsini, Colonna, and others ; then musicians, grooms, chamberlains, standard-bearers, two figures of Cherubim borne aloft on poles, the Gonfalonieri of the Roman people, of the Knights of the Teutonic Order, and those of the Order of Jerusalem, the standard of the church, borne by the Duke of Murone, the horses of the papal stud, legates, nobles, princes, and other assistants. The palfrey bear ing the blessed sacrament, surrounded with torches and ?shaded by a canopy sustained by eight Roman citizens, preceded the more solemn train of ecclesiastics, with the canters of the papal chapel, and other officials. After his body guard, rode the Pope, under a canopy, his bridle held for the first stage of the journey by the Duke of Ferrara, and the last in the pageant was the bearer of the canopy called the " Ombrella pontificale," in complete armour, but bare-headed. As the procession moved, the collegiate bodies of the churches it passed presented themselves with censors and chanting of hymns. Altars had been erected in the streets, resplendent with tapers; and triumphal arches, with devices in which mythology was sometimes blent with Christian imagery. One of the above-mentioned arches presented, at one facade, a figure of Apollo, between two fountains of wine, and on the other, Christ giving the keys to St. Peter. Another presented the statues of Numa Pompi- Has and Antoninus Pius, two of the wisest monarchs of ancient Rome with the inscription, "Non de ccesorum 'turner°, fusoque cruore, sed de sperata pace trophea damus." On another were bas-reliefs, representing kings and princes embracing each other, children burning the weapons of war:with their torches, in appropriate allusion to the peaceful auspices which greeted the new reign. According to the rubrics for all these occasions, the procession, on reaching the Gesi Church, turns in the direction of the Capitol, where the senator of Rome, at tired in purple and cloth of gold, with a jewelled collar and a sceptre of ivory, attended by his judges, officials, and guards, receives his Holiness kneeling, and, in a brief Latin address, promises him obedience and fealty in the name of all the senate and people of Rome ; to which his Holiness replies in the same lan guage. Descending the Capitol, the cortege passed for- , merly under an arch whose erection was the hereditary duty of the Dukes of Parma, and afterwards of the King of Naples, the heir of their property; and in later times, instead of the presentation of the Scriptures, the Jewish deputies were admitted to pay h omage t o , the supreme pontiff in the " Campo Vacciuo," and after wards, for motives of convenience, at the Arch of Titus, the memorial of their overthrow, a strikingly signifi cant, if accidental, arrangement. The ceremonies within the church have long been observed according to an in. variable order, whether the use of horses in the proces sion was dispensed with or not. (Amongst all the Popes, only nineteen are recorded to have gone otherwise than on horse-back.) The chapter of the Lateran meet his holiness outside the church, with two crosses and two pavilions borne before them, implying the pre-eminency of their church over all others, " Orbis Ecciesiarum Mater." After receiving their homage, his holiness enters the portal, kneeling at its threshold to kiss a golden cross, presented by the cardinal arch-priest, then ascends a throne, where;after vesting for the rites within the church, the same cardinal presents him with the keys of the Ba silica, one gold, the other silver, in a gilt basin filled with flowers, addressing him, at the same time in Latin. The clergy of the Basilica then pay homage, and his holiness is carried into the church on the portative throne, first to the altar of the blessed sacrament, where all kneel to adore, whilst the Te Deum is sung, afterwards to the high altar:for, a second act of worship before the relics of St. Peter and St. Paul: thence he passes to the throne in the tribune, and on receiving the obeisance of the car dinals, places in the mitre of each the "presbyterio," a do nation of two medals of gold and silver. The first cardi nal priest, with the auditors of the Rota and Concis torial Advocates, then passes to the altar, where the " Exaudi Christe, 4-c." are sung. His Holiness then repairs to the same altar, and gives the benedic ti_on,leaving a p urse o f s il ver mone y as th e accus t ome d offering at the confessional, or shrine of the apostles. The cardinal deacon places the triple crown on his ,and re the " iftgia of the asc endin g the portative throne, he is borne grand facade, where the benediction • .,-sess s people in the usual form.

C 0606 Chrolak. Mr. WILLER was heard against the rule. Mr. WATSON than proceeded in support of the rule. There was no analogy between the case of a co-part nership and the case of a provisional committee, and the sole question with which the Court had to deal, was whether there was a contract between the plaintiff and defendant. And upon that he would say, that there was clearly no contract whatever, neither was there any evidence to show that he had given authority to any person to enter into any contract on his behalf. All the defendant ever did was to sanction his name being used as a provisional committeeman. He never attended any meeting, and that for the best of all possible reasons—because there never had been any meeting. The order was given by the solicitor without communicating with the defendant, or either with any 1 1 other member of the committee. I t was well known o k that the solicitor had no power whatever to bind his client ; his business is to do certain work, for which he is to get paid by his client. The mere fact of being a provisional committeeman was not in itself sufficient to render a person liable. It would be absurd to suppose, in the case of a committee appointed to adopt measures for obtaining a repeal of the corn-laws, or, as in the sister island, for the repeal of the union, that one member of the committee could bind another. There were numerous expenses required, such as parties advertising prizes for essays, &c. ; but it surely could not be supposed that one member of a committee could offer 1,000/. for an essay, and by such offer make another member of the committee liable. A case was tried lately, in which a member of the Society for promoting Christianity among the Jews gave orders for a new translation of the New Testament, but it was ruled that the committee was not liable. The COURT postponed their decision until the hearing of the other railway cases. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, .Nov. 23. THE QUEEN V. THE COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he had to show cause against a rule which had been obtained by his Learned Friend, Mr. Crowder, galling upon the Commissioners of Sewers to show cause why a certiorari should not be directed to them, calling upon them to remove into this Court a presentment which they had made against William Kinnaird Jenkins, bearing date the 18th of August last, and relating to the construction of a sewer under Monmouth-road, Paddington, with the order of the Commissioners referred to therein. Mr. Justice Erie would no doubt recollect that the case had been before him on affidavits at chambers, and that his Lordship refused to make an order to stay proceed ings after the 10th of November. The facts were simply these:—The affidavit of the Commissioners stated that Mr. Jenkins applied to them for power to build a new sewer from certain houses in Monmouth-street, St. Mary's parish, into a sewer called the Ranelagh sewer, the main seer of the district, which was under the direction of the Commissioners. The new sewer did not extend to the boundary line of Mr. Jenkins' pro perty, and the Commissioners, in acceding to his application on the 18th of August last, directed him to carry it to the boundary : he had, however, contemptuously refused to obey this order, although he had received notice tha t the Commissioners would exercise the powers vested in them if he did not comply with the order—namely, amerce him in the sum of 3,0001., unless he should complete the sewer in the course of one calendar month. It went on to say that a Mr. Anderson had obtained leave to build a sewer in connexion with the Ranelagh sewer, which ought, for the public benefit, to form a junction with Mr. Jenkins's sewer, and that they made an order to carry this into effect, but that Mr. Jenkins had built a wall which en tirely prevented Mr. Anderson from completing the con nexion, therefore causing a " hindrance and impedi ment ;" and he was amerced in a fine of 501. The re gulations which the Commissioners were empowered to enforce, with respect to persons making sewers, stated that all persons who had obtained leave to construct sewers leading through property divided by boundary lines, being separate property, should be required,. when such boundary was within thirty feet of the buildings, to carry it to the outside of the boundary line of such adjoining property. He built the wall of his garden at the very limit of his land, but he stopped two feet short, in order to deprive the Commissioners of power over the sewer, and to prevent any one from forming a junction with it without paying him. Mr. Anderson built on the adjoining lands, but he was unable to complete his on ' account of the hiatus of the two feet. He appealed to the Commissioners, who directed Jenkins to complete the sewer in two months. When the matter was before the Commissioners various objections were made— namely, that the notice was not properly served, and that he had no notice of the proceed ings taken against him. No notice was neces sary, as they were in the nature of an inquest. and the proceedings were merely preliminary. Objec tions had been since raised to the following effect: — That hd was only a life-owner of the estate, and that the Court had no power to amerce him; that they had no power to compel him to build the sewer beyond the extent of the boundary; that the fine was excessive, and that the jury were misled in imposing it, and that his interest in the property was not adequate to the proceedings against him. Now the defendant had admitted that he had notice of the inqui sition. Then he did not traverse as he should have done, if he wished to urge those objections. It might be said that an action might be brought by the Com missioners for breach of contract; but by the 47 Geo. 111., sec. 3, the Commissioners themselves were ern powered to punish persons so offending by amercement or otherwise. He had always treated with the Commis sioners as if he was the owner of the property, and the proper course to adopt, if he wished to get the fine set aside, was by application to the Lords of the Treasury. Then the sewers became the-property of the Commis sioners of Sewers. He trusted on those grounds that the Court would discharge the rule with costs. Mr. BovILL followed on the same side. Mr. CROWDER appeared in support of the rule. He contended that the sewers were not the property of the Commissioners, but of the public, for whom they were trustees, and that the order of the Commissioners was invalid, inasmuch as the power which they possessed only extended to the construction of sewers under the superintendence of their officer, and not to the entire right of sewers built at the expense of private persons. It would be absurd to say that an Act passed in the 47th of George 111. gave them such a monopoly of private property, without affording the owners compensation. The real object of the proceeding was to affurd Mr. An derson certain conveniences at the expense of Mr. Jen kins, who had done all he was required to do in a substantial manner years ago ; but now, in 1846, fault was found with him. He was, however, willing to complete the sewer on terms to be arranged between him and Mr. Anderson. It was a great public question whether the Commissioners did or did not exercise powers to which they were not strictly entitled. They had the control of public, but not of private, sewers, except to see that they were properly made, and did not become a nuisance, under the 47th of George the Third, under which they stated they -xereised their powers. There was no language in the Act to justify such an arbitrary power as was exercised by the commissioners, and set forth in the by e-law, and un - less for the public good were not empowered to compel a person to carry a sewer thirty feet beyond the spot be might require it. If it was held to be good, they might compel a person building houses to carry a sewer 200 feet further than was necessary, on the supposition that the public would be thereby benefited. He then went on to deal with the other objections, all of which he held were fatal, and trusted the Court would make the rule absolute, in order that the whole matter might come be fore the review of the Court. Mr. Bristow and Mr. Higgins followed on the same side. The COURT conferred together for some time, but kook time to consider. to be taken into custody, to prevent obstructions, and no doubt to protect the poor man from injury. Inspector Woodraffe said, the poor man, who no doubt laboured under religious phreuzy, had been found walking round the Wellington statue, bare-headed, and brought to the station-house, from whence he was taken to the Union in Canon-street, by the officers of which he was transferred to Marlborough House, Peckham. From Peckham he was transferred to Doctor Warburton as a lunatic. The police had merely performed their duty in removing from the public streets a person labour ing under a mental malady. The man had complained very much of Marlborough House, Peckham, the filth and abomination of which seemed to make a deep im pression upon him. A respectable female, at whose .house the American boarded, said he had lately arrived from Quebec, and was exceedingly eccentric. He was in the habit of saying that the Almighty directed him to keep his head cool and his feet warm, and he was obedient to the Divine will. The dirt and filth of Marlborough House, at Peckham, had certainly had a great effect upon him, and he also complained of what was given him to eat. The LORD MAYOR said he had no doubt at all of the correctness of the poor man's account of Peckham, how ever insane he might he, and advised the Consul how to proceed to effect his liberation at once. MARLBOROUGH-ST.REET. Mr. Charles Benson Breary, a medical gentleman, living at 73, Great Portland -street, was summoned be fore Mr. Hardwick, for an assault on Thomas Read. The complainant said he had two subpcsnas to serve on the defendant's brother, who lived at 73, Great Port land-street. On the 16th inst. he went to the defend ant's house,and on knocking at the door was admitted. Havingreon to believe that the party whom he was in search of was in the house, he went up stairs to the first floor, and opened a door, which he closed immediately, on discovering that it was a bedroom. Complainant opened the drawing-room door, but seeing two ladies in the room he apologised, and was going down stairs, when the defendant suddenly rushed at him, seized him by the collar, and threatened to kick him down stairs. The defendant then attempted to force him down stairs, and in the struggle used much violence, and hurt one of his hands. Complainant told him he was a process server, and had two subpoenas to serve on his brother. Complainant produced the copy and the original, to show that he had authority for his proceedings. The de fendant, however, continued his attempts to force him down stairs, and called to his servant to fetch a police constable. The defendant ultimately left him, and went out of the house to get, as he said, the assistance of the police. Complainant waited in the hall for about ten minutes, but finding no one came he left the house. Mr. Breary, in defence, said, the complainant was told that his brother was not within. Without mention ing his business, he said he would go into every room in the house to satisfy himself ; and he ran up stairs and opened the door of more than one room. Defendant went after him, and insisted on his quitting the house instantly, as he had an invalid patient under his care who would be inconvenienced by his conduct. As the complainant took upon him to open the doors of the rooms in his house, he (defendant) conceived he had a just right to prevent such intrusion, and he certainly did lay hold of the complainant's collar to move him down stairs, but without striking or otherwise assaulting the complainant. He (defendant) wished to know whether the complainant was authorised to enter his house and search over it, on the plea that be was serving a legal process ? Indeed, his opinion of the affair was that he was the aggrieved party, and that he ought to have sought for redrsss by law against the complainant. The complainant's witness proved that the defendant used considerable violence towards the complainant. The defendant's witness said, the complainant was told that Mr. Edward Breary was not at home ; but he would not pay attention to this denial, and ho made his way up stairs. Mr. Humphries said a small fine would meet the jus tice of the case. Mr. HARDWICK thought that too much violence had been used by the defendant. The complainant, how ever, was not free from blame in his proceedings, he having adopted a course likely to produce irritation. As more than justifiable violence had been used, he should inflict a fine of 205., and costs. WORSHIP-STREET. WYLD V. SLOAN. Upon the trial in this case it appeared that the plaintiff was not in fact interested in the issue, he having merely lent his name to the managing committee, and that up wards of forty actions had been brought in his name by the solicitor, to compel some members of the provisional committee to pay their share of the expenses. A ver dict was returned for the plaintiff—Damages, one shilling. Mr. MARTIN now showed cause against the rule ob tained a few days since by Mr. Hoggins. His argu ments were not brought to a conclusion when the Court ose. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov 23. RENT V. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. Mr. Sergeant TA.LFOURD proceeded to show cause against a rule nisi obtained in the present term, calling on the master to revise his taxation of costs in this action, which was brought by the plaintiff, a carrier, against the Great Western Railway Company, and in which he re covered a verdict. The defendants objeeted to allowing the costs for serving the notice of action, and preparing and delivering the particulars of plaintiff's claim. The COURT, having heard Mr. Sergeant Channel in reply, ordered the rule to be discharged with costs. IN RE MRS. SHUTTLEWORTH. Mr. O'BRIEN moved a writ of habeas corpus, directed to Dr. Millengen, ordering him to bring up the body of Anna Maria Shuttleworth, an alleged lunatic. A mo tion of a similar purport had been moved for in the Bail Court in the present term, and the writ was argued be fore a full Court of Queen's Bench, when the rule was discharged on technical grounds. On that occasion Mr. Justice Erle was reported to have stated that the certifi cates did not enter into the question of sanity or insanity. These, therefore, were not raised fully then, but now he was prepared with affidavits to meet that question. He had the certificate of Dr. Quail, who) had known her for five years. He stated his opinion that during the whole of that period, and at the time when she was taken into custody, she was not insane. He had also the affidavit of a Mr. Dyer, who had known her for thirty years, and which also denied the alleged lunacy. An affidavit to the same effect was likewise put in by a lady named Caroline Beachey. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—On whose behalf do you apply Mr. O'BRIEN—On behalf of Dr. Quail, with whom she resided when taken. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—Take a rule to show cause on the whole merits. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Edward Billington, Thomas Thompson, and Robert Chalme, charged with having robbed John Smith, a labourer of Portobello, near Edinburgh, of 1701. in bank notes, at a coffee-house in Holborn, were brought up for further examination. The justice-room was much crowded during the investigation, the prisoners being well known as successful thieves about town for many years, and having plundered innumerable countrymen of all the property they possessed. Mr. Robinson defended the prisoners. John Smith, who had been sent for to Scotland by the Lord Mayor, to give evidence, made the following state ment :—About four months ago I arrived in London from Melbourne, in Australia, and on the 13th of October I was robbed of all the money I had in the world in this manner. As I was going on that day up to Caroline-street, Bedford-square, from Mr. Hayes's, in the City, I was accosted by a person having the appearance of a gentleman. He asked me the name of Lime-street, and I said, " I am sorry I cannot inform you, for I am a stranger here." He said he had just come up from the London Docks, and been two hours making his way up, and had not found this place. I said, London is an awkward place for strangers to be in, but I had found out my destination. He then said, was very thirsty, and wanted a drink of porter, and asked me to go with him. I hesitated very much, but at last consented, and we went into a public-house at the corner of Caroline-street, where we had some porter. Before we had finished the porter, Billington, (me of the prisoners at the bar, came in, and said, he was newly come from America, and he asked about the Museum, and then entered into conversation with the person I first met, whose name it appeared was Captain Harvey, about American money, and produced what appeared to be American money, and American drafts of money in London. Billington also said that he had an appointment with his lawyer at Gray's-inn, and he prevailed on me, as a stranger, to go with him and he would show me a part of the town, and so we all three, Captain Harvey, Billington, and myself, went to Gray's inn Coffee-house. Here the prosecutor detailed the conversation which took place between them, from which it was palpable enough to all the bystanders in the justice-room that it was what is called " a regular plant" upon him. He then proceeded—" Captain Harvey having said he wished to go to the bank, and Mr. Billington he wanted to get a transfer made of some American funds, I said I wanted to go to the bank also, so we all left the house together, and agreed to meet there at two o'clock. I had a bill to take to the Bank of Australasia, from whence I was sent to Smith, Payne, and Smith's banking-house, in Lombard-street, but be fore I got there I met Captain Harvey, who, after asking me whether I had got my business done, accompanied me to Smith, Payne, and Smith's, where he said he had just drawn his money, and where he saw me receive 1701. in seventeen 101. notes. The unfortunate prosecutor then particularly stated all that occurred between him and Captain Harvey and Billington, after he received his money. They all went to a public-house within a few doors of the Lincolnshire beer-house in Holborn, to have a smoke, "and there," said the prosecutor, " they bad a glass of gin each and I had a glass of brandy," and Billington said he would go over to Gray's Inn Coffeehouse, and see if his lawyer was come, and he took his pocket book out and laid it on the table, as Cap tain Harvey said something about his not stop ping,_, and he said there were bank-notes in it to the amount of 5001. and bills. He stopped away about ten minutes, and on his return he again said he had not seen his lawyer. Captain Harvey then said he would go and get a stamp for the 1001., which Billington offered to lend to him, and he placed his pocket-book, as a security, for . his return, upon the table. The captain then went out, ; but he came back instantly, and beckoned to me; and as I am going to town, Billington said to m e , w hy do you not do to me as Harvey has done, leave your pocket ' book on the table for a security for your return, and so I laid my pocket- book upon the table, and we left Bil lington pocket-book ? Th e Thewere MAYOR—And all your money was in your whole of the seventeen 10/. notes Captain Harvey and I got about :::le prosecutor.—The si n p ne e c i u it. n t o the virr.h 33 or 40 yards down the street, I declined going any further, but he wished me to go further for a stamped receipt. I returned, and there was no person in the room, and my pocket-book was gone. The people at the bar said the person I left in the room must have gone out at the back door, and I then gave information to the police. The LORD MAYOR.—Are you positive that the pri soner Billington is the man whom you left in the room when you went away with Harvey, and that you left him alone? The prosecutor.—l am quite positive. The LORD MAYOR.—Do you know any thing of either of the other prisoners? The prosecutor.—l can't say that either of them is Captain Harvey. A boy who was employed in' Barnard's-inn coffee house at the time of the robbery, stated that he saw the prisoners Thompson and Chalme in the room on the day the prosecutor complained that he had been robbed, but that he did not see the prisoner Billington there. Mr. Robinson contended that there was not the slightest ground for detaining either Thompson or Chalme, and that the evidence of the bar-boy, who did not see Billington at all in the house, would effectually tell against the testimony of the prosecutor before a jury. The LORD MAYOR said the prosecutor had much better reason for marking Billington than the boy had, and much better opportunity too, from the time they had been together, and the nature of the transaction from which the poor man had suffered so desperately. He trusted the police would not relax in their exertions to procure the evidence of every one who could state any thing of importance. A most heinous robbery had been perpetrated, and he should take care that nothing should be wanting upon his part as to the strictness of the in vestigation. He was convinced that the newspapers would in such a case render publicity to the circum stance, and thus give opportunities to other persons who had been plundered by the gang, to come forward and do justice. A countryman here stepped forward and stated that he had been robbed by Thompson and Chalme of a sovereign by means of a deceptive lock. The prisoners were remanded till Friday next, when other charges will, it is supposed, be brought forward against them. The American Consul applied to the Lord Mayor for the liberation of an American subject, who was a re spectable person, but one of very eccentric character, inspired with a sort of religious insanity, and at the same time quite harmless. He had made his appear ance in the neighbourhood of the Royal Exchange, where the singularity of his address and gesticulation drew the observation of the crowd upon him ; in conse 'Mace of 'OM the inspector at l'alice bed canned bin: A young man named John Clfford, the son of a tradesman in Fashion-street, Spitalfields, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with assaulting and wounding police-constable Norman, of the H divi sion, in the execution of his duty. It appeared from the evidence of the constable, who had been confined to his bed for more than a week, and exhibited marks of severe recent injuries, that he was on duty in Commercial-street, Whitechapel, between twelve and one on the morning of Monday se'nnight, when he was directed by his sergeant to proceed and quell a dis turbance which had arisen in Flower and Dean-street. On reaching there he found the prisoner in the custody of some other officers, through the hand of one of whom, as he was told by a bystander, he had just drawn a knife. Finding, however, that his assistance was not required, he returned back to his beat, and shortly afterwards saw the prisoner, who appeared to have escaped from the constables approaching, sur rounded by a riotous mob, and he attempted to secure him. The prisoner, however, on observing his intention, instantly strnek him a violent blow on the eye with a large stone, which sent him reeling backwards and ren dered him powerless; and, before he could recover him self, he was as rapidly struck forward again by another violent blow from some instrument on the back of his head, and felled to the ground in a state of insensibility. On being restored to consciousness, ho found that he had almost lost the sight of his left eye, and that his clothes were completely saturated with blood, which was pouring in such a stream down his face, that it was with difficulty he could support himself by some railings while he sprang his rattle for assistance. This ulti mately brought up two other constables, with whose aid he was taken to bed at the station house, and had been under surgical attendance ever since. Policeman 198 H proved that at four o'clock that morning he apprehended the accused, whom he found in bed at his his house in Fashion -street, having pre viously seen him escaping from another constable,whom he had likewise assailed; and three other officers gave almost equally direct testimony, and positively swore the identity of the prisoner, with whose person one of them had been acquainted for several years. Mr. Heritage, who appeared for the defence, said that, notwithstanding the positive manner in which his client had been sworn to by the police, he was instructed to give a total denial to the charge, and had seven or eight witnesses in attendance, who would prove that the con stables were altogether mistaken in their identification of the prisoner, who, although he had certainly been present as a spectator at the commencement of the affray, had taken no part whatever in the actual outrage which had afterwards been committed. Mr. PINGHAM, however, said, that after the number of witnesses who had unanimously sworn to the identity of the accused, he considered that it was solely the province of a jury to decide upon the cogency of any conflicting testimony that might be produced in that respect ; and as the charge was one of a very serious description, he had no hesitation in committing the prisoner for trial at the sessions, but would accept substantial bail, under the circumstances stated by his solicitor, for his appearance there to answer the charge. The bail was shortly afterwards put in, and the pri soner thereupon liberated. LAMBETH. BAIL COURT, Nov. 23. TUE BISHOP OF EXETER U. LATIMER. Mr. MONTAGUE SMITH applied, on the part of the Bishop of Exeter, for a writ of certiorari to remove an indictment which had been found against Thomas Llti• mer, the proprietor and publisher of a newspaper called the Western Times, in the city of Exeter, into this Court. The Learned Counsel stated that the libel was one of a most scandalous nature upon a dignitary of the Church, and attempts had been made by the defendant to prejudice any chance of a fair trial in the city of Exeter. The circumstances to which the libel had reference arose out of a speech made by Lord Seymour to the electors of Totnes, with reference to the dismissal of a gentleman named Shore front the cure of a chapel. The language of the libellous article was very strong and personal The affidavit on which the motion was made was from Mr. Gibson, the Bishop's attorney, and stated that a true bill had been found against the defendant; and that upon the indictment the circumstances relating to the pe tition of Mr. Shore and the speech of Lord Seymour, and also some transactions between the Bishop of Exeter to the Duke of Somerset would be brought into question, with other matters of v-ry considerable imprtance, and fit only for the judgment of a special jury. The affidavit also stated that the paper of the defendant was circu lated amongst the class of persons who formed petty juries it the city of Exeter, and that several articles had appeared in it calculated to prejudice any fair or un biassed decision on the indictment —Rule granted. James Grant, late a police-constable belonging to the P. division, was brought before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of abduction. Mr. Games, who attended for the prosecution, said, that in the month of January last the prisoner, then a policeman, was in custody upon the present charge, but had managed to effect his escape. An application was subsequently made to Mr. Henry, at this Court, and a warrant was granted for the prisoner's apprehension, but the prisoner managed to elude the vigilance of the police until the night before, when he was taken into custody. It was not his (Mr. Games s) wish, at that late hour of the evening, to go into the case beyond showing suffi cient grounds for the prisoner's remand to a future day ; and he should, therefore, content himself by merely re questing that the sworn information upon which the warrant was granted against him might be read. Mr. Gunn, the clerk, then read over the examinations of Elizabeth Ann Grant (the wife of the prisoner), and Sarah Everest, her mother, taken before Mr. Henry on the 20th day of January last, and which are as follow : "Elizabeth Ann Grant then stated that on Friday, the 31st day of October last, I left home to go to tea at Mrs. Murrell's, in Locks-fields, and as I was in the shop, about half-past three o'clock in the afternoon, I saw James Grant, a police-constable of the P division, No. 290, pass. He saw me and beckoned to me. He had been paying his addresses to me, but against the consent and wishes of my mother, for about six months ; and I came out to him when he beckoned to me. He then asked me to go to some house with him, and wanted me to get married to him. I said, I'm too young.' I was then 15 years and seven months old only. He persuaded m e to go on board a steam-boat with him from Westminster-bridge to Vauxhall. There he gave me something to drink, and I became tipsy. He took me to a brothel, No. 2, Gaywood-street, London-road, and there, by threats and persuasions, I consented to his wishes. He kept me there, and at other lodg in g s, for nearly two months, and at the end of that time I was married to him, at the church of the parish of Christ church, in the county of Surrey. During the two months and frequently since I have been married, I have asked him to let me go home to my mother; but he has always threatened ho would beat my brains out if I did. On Sunday night last, the 18th instant, he was writing, and I said to him, ' I may as well write home to my mother, may I?' lie said, No; if you do I'll stick these razors through your and took two razors out of a drawer and opened them. He struck me and knocked my head against the wall because I said I would write. Yester day I sent for my mother, and she fetched me away. Durinc , the time I have been with Grant he has fre quently beaten me. He has done so nearly every day. Yesterday he told me he would murder me if I said any thing about him before the magistrate.—Sarah Everest, on her oath, said—The last witness is my daughter by my former husband, Thomas Currant, deceased. She was 15 years of age on the 15th day of March last, and on the 31st day of October last she went to tea at Mrs. Mur rell's, and did not return again ; and I did not see her I again until yesterday, when she sent f or m e, and found left ort intimate,ma t e Grant's feuannd l d o e d lu g ft i o n tr g hb s aa . tried all I could to keep my daughter out o .

LIABILITY OF PROVISIONAL COMMITTEEMEN-WYLD V. HOPKINS. Mr. MARTIN resumed the arguments in this case, which were in part heard on Saturday. The scheme in question was the Nottingham and Peterborough Junc tion Railway, which was provisionally registered on the 4th of Sept., 1845. On the 29th of the same month a prospectus of the company was registered, containing the name of Hopkins, the defendant, " Director of the Staffordshire Potteries and Manchester Direct Railway." On the 10th of October a letter was addressed by the defendant to the secretary of the company, desiring him to allot him his full number of shares as a provisional committeeman. The order for the work was given to the plaintiff by the solicitor to the com pany, and this was given, he would contend, on the authenticity of the provisional committee, of which the defendant was a member. The questions left to the jury by the Lord Chief Baron, at the trial, were—First, did the members of the provisional committee acknowledge, by the insertion of their names in the prospectus, hat they were to be responsible for those expenses necessary for the formation of the company? Secondly, did the defendant authorise his name to be so used? Thirdly, did the defendant authorise his credit to be pledged for those expenses? Fourthly, was the work done on the credit of the defendant? He would now contend, in answer to those questions, that by the defendants placing his name on the provisional committtee, he became a mem ber of a quasi parnership, and that by doing so he had pledged himself for the payment of those expenses ne cessarily to be incurred under the 27th see.cof the 7th and eg to b dBthtoVeitcheete,ed was y and that the fact of Jis permitting his m ordering evidence theto g g d o t o o d t s he au ju th r o y ri o t f y his te ra p i e t d t i g e e g h b i e c n r e a d m i t e f to r bet h e e i s e a m se r e t e , d a n fli n fu t t e h e p r r , e t s h p a e t e t ! i n s p w e e r sufficient proof, that he was willing to pledge him self for such expenses, and that the liability was not thrust upon him against his consent. Mr. Baron PARKE—Is there any evidence to show that he had authorised his name to be inserted in the prospectus ? Mr. MARTIN—I apprehend there is, my Lord. Mr. Baron PARKE—A man may consent to be a member of a provisional committee, but it is a very die ferent thing to give his consent to have his name go forth to the world upon a certain printed paper in con nexion with certain statements, such as are contained in the prospectus of this company. Mr. MARTIN—He had written letters to the secretary subsequently to his name appearing on the prospectus acknowledging the fact of his name appearing there, and made no objection to it. The Learned Counsel pro ceeded to quote a number of cases in support of his argument of the liability of provisional committeemen. Seven of the judges of Westminster• hall had adopted that view of the question, juries had always taken the same view of it, and it would be going contrary to the commonest dictates of reason and understanding to dis pute the point at the present period. Mr. BARON PARRR—Is there any evidence to show that, by the party permitting his name to be used in the prospectus of the company, he meant anything more than merely to recommend the scheme, or to say in effect ithhoabrisiimilstpa7rtoobpo,eb: bear n fi rph d is e o s s c e h s er, and not a mere bubble got up —His e a i n ng ae i kn n tohweledlisgtmonenttheofprhios spelaxctilsMAisitrisin part of the expenses iacurred prior to obtaining the .&o% of invorporation.

Mr. Roberts, who attended on behalf of the prisoner, hoped that after this declaration the charge would not be proceeded with. Mrs. Everest, however, declared her determination to prosecute the prisoner, and this being the case, Mr. ELLIOTT observed that the mother, and not the daughter was the prosecutrix, and therefore it must be proceeded with. The prisoner was ultimately remanded. REGULATIONS OF THE FRENCH RAILWAYS. The Moniteur of the 18th November contains a royal ordonnance, issued on a report of the Minister of Public Works, fixing the general regulations that are hence forth to be observed by all railway companies in working their lines. This ordonnance contains not less than 78 articles, referring to the several sections of the way ; working stock ; the composition of trains ; the depar ture, circulation, and arrival of trains ; fares ; superin tendence of working; regulations relating to passengers; and general arrangements. The following are the principal points referred to : " The Way.—The stations are to be considered part of the public domain, and as such to be regulated by the superior authorities. The entrance, the circulation, and the standing of public or private carriages are to be subjected to the decisions of the Minister of Public Works. The repairs of the way and of the works depending on it, though evidently at the discretion of the companies are to be made known to the Government authorities who can interfere when anything is unsatisfactory. The crossings and passages on the line are to be subjected to government regulations, particularly in what relates to the barriers required for the latter. High embank ments, viaducts, and bridges over rivers and streams, are to be defended by strong parapets. All stations, passages on the level, &c., are to be well lit up. " The Working Stook.—Locomotives are in the first instance to ;be subjected to certain proofs of strength, for the boilers, axletrees, wheels, &c. They are to be provided with an apparatus to catch the pieces of coke falling from the furnace, so as to prevent their reaching the ground. Every means must also be employed to prevent sparks from issuing from the funnel, whereby property along the line has, from time to time, been set on fire and consumed. The report regrets that the grating at present in use is not found to be efficient. Axle-trees aro in all cases to be made of wrought-iron of the first quality. " Composition of Trains.—All companies are bound to furnish a sufficient number of carriages of every descrip tion to supply the wants of each station. The hours fixed by the company for departure are to be rigorously observed. As the public, in a great measure are depen dent on railways for their mode of transport, these two regulations are absolute on all companies whatever ; when any exception to this rule is permitted, as in the case of direct trains, it is the government authorities who must regulate the matter. In cases of IlY.e or extraordinary movement from one point to another, the company is obliged to provide an additional and suffi cient number of carriages of every class ; the number of carriages for a sigle train is not to exceed 24, and this is to be considered rather as the exception than the rule. Double locomotives are permitted, as otherwise trains would be multiplied to a dangerous extent. But when ever the second locomotive is employed, the cause of such proceeding must be entered in a book. No matters liable to explosion are to be transported in a train in which passengers are carried. A means of communica tion must always be established between the conductor and the engine-driver. " Departure, Circulation, and Arrival of Trains.—A number of articles refer to the measures of precaution to be used in starting trains at proper hours, so as to leave a sufficient time between each ; the maximum of speed ; the precautions to be taken in passing through tunnels, &c. ; they also regulate the passage of extraordinary trains ; the obligation of communicating by signals ; and the general superintendence of the line. Registers are to be kept at every station for marking down the causes of all delays. No train is ever to leave before the hour appointed in the printed lists. " Fares.—The conditions of the concession generally regulate the tariffs, but a company may lower its prices, if it thinks fit, subject, however, to the condition of keeping them so, for a certain time. As a general rule, however, no changes whatever can be made by the company without first submitting them to the govern ment authorities. Railways that have been conceded prior to 1835 will not be subject to these regulations until April 1, 1847. Equality of charge is to be strictly enforced, as: otherwise the companies could become unjust to one locality at the expense of another. " Superintendence of Working.—This section,'which has been already in great measure anticipated by the Railway Police Bill, dwells on the appointing royal commissaries and their functions. It is unnecessary to do more than simply refer to this part of the report, since its chief provisions are already known to the public. " Regulations Relating to Passengers.—All persons unconnected with the company and the service are for bidden to enter the premises of a railway without per mission, or to stand or circulate, or to place there objects of. any kind, or to introduce horses, dogs, or other animals, or to cause vehicles of any kind to circu late there. Government authorities are an exception to this clause. Passengers are not to lean out of carriages, or pass from one to another, or carry loaded firearms, or leave a carriage when in movement ; the other prescrip tions are generally similar to those in force for common carriages. " General Arrangements.—No person can sell any thing within the precincts of a station without permission from the authorities. When a line crosses several de partments the attributions conferred by the present regulations on the several prefets may be concentrated in one. Every person employed by a railway company must wear a uniform, in order that the public may at once see, in case of need, to whom they are to apply. Signal-men, guards, and barrier keepers may wear a sabre. At each station a book must be kept to receive the complaints of passengers. Copies of the present regulations are to be constantly kept placarded in all stations ; copies are also to be given to each person em plo) ed, and whatever relates to passengers is to be hung up in each carriage." ,o EXECUTION OF AN IRISH SEA MAN IN THE AMERICAN NAVY. We copy the following from a New York paper. The unfortunate victim to the extreme penalty of martial law was an Irishman, who, after great provocation, knocked down a lieutenant of thi3 American vessel on board of which he had entered:— " Off Vera Cruz, Sept. 25, 1846. " On the 17th inst. I was one of the edified witnesses of the supremacy of the law over natural right. A sailor named Samuel Jackson, belonging to the sloop St. Mary's, was hanged at the foreyard arm, pursuant to the sentence of a court-martial, before whom he had been tried for striking a man named Taylor, one of the officers of that ship. The preparations for the execution were numerous and solemn, a regular programme having been issued by Commodore Connor, and circulated through the squadron several days previously. Labour in the different vessels was forbidden for the day, and the crews were directed to assume their holiday attire. At 11 A.M., the signal, ' prepare to execute the sentence of the Court martial,' was displayed at the mizen of the Cumberland, when a yellow flag was hoisted at the foreyard-arm of the St. Mary's. The officers and crews of all the vessels at the anchorage were then mustered on deck, and dis tributed in such places as would best enable them to take as much of the spectacle in view as possible. Here they were kept on the tiptoe of anticipation for more than hale an hour, when the same signal that I had before mentioned was hoisted, without the ' preparative,' and the curiosity of the spectators was very materially en hanced thereby. In a few moments more the victim made his appearance on the topgallant forecastle of the St. Mary, attended by two or three officers and the mas ter-at-arms of the ship, and by the Rev. F. W. Taylor, chaplain of the Cumberland. Stepping over the fore castle railing of the Scaffold, which had been erected there for the occasion, the prisoner seated himself on the railing, apparently on account of nervous deficiency. " The machinery fitted for the principal act was simple, but strong and effective. A thick rope was rove through a block at the yardarm, leading along the yard into the foremast, where it rove through another block, and made fast to a weight of near four hundred pounds. After some additional minutes of suspense had been in flicted upon the thousands of spectators, a flash issued from the gun over which the scaffold had been raised, and at the same instant a human form was seen flying in a curved line through the air with astonishing velocity. When the body reached the yardarm, so great had been the impulse that the check threw it perpendicularly into the air, feet upwards; and rebounding against the fore. lifts,' it passed over the fore brace, split the halter block, and then, after a few violent vibrations, it assumed the usual dangling attitude of a hanging man. AGITATION N OT REQUISITE FOR POPULARITY. It has been said from days of yore that popularity could not be obtained in the political world unless by agitation. In the memorable year 1829, though his Grace of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel carried the measure of honourable amelioration towards the Ro man Catholics, still they were far from being popular in its usually understood phrase. In 1840, and years prior, the consummate skill and talent of Sir Robert were acknowledged by many learned and disinterested persons, still, being the chief of a powerful party, the leader of a haughty aristocrocy, many of whom had virulently opposed the people, he (Sir Robert) was viewed with suspicion by the masses. His connexions ruined him. But, when 1846 dawned, when the speech of his life was delivered, thereby shipwrecking the ill directed power of an intolerant party for ever—when the malignancy of an oligarchy had no limits, when the Premier was truly sacrificing the sovereignty of power by a conscientious concession, when he spoke with dig nified eloquence, rebuking, convicting, and calmly ex posing with the terrible force of a master•spirit, the sophistries, slanders and mis-statements of his defamers, the people were amazed ; they marvelled at his temerity, they wondered at his ex hibition of manly firmness, his noble bearing when savagely bearded by nobles (!); they stood astounded at his continued adherence to them ; going to work, at their meals, or returning from work, he was the theme ; the contest raged in Lords and Com mons, and calumny bitterly assailed Peel ; the people were intently watching ; the final night arrived ; rancour poured out its vials, and the recipients of mono poly ran the gauntlet of shameful invention; Peel's hour had come; the people were waiting the fate of their measure with painful anxiety; Peel's speech was delivered, shattering, crumbling, pulverising, and destroying all the advanced opposition, and electrifying with astonish ing effect even his antagonists with the attainments and qualifications of his mind and unbounded researches; the people hailed him with raptures; he reigned in their hearts and became the most popular man of the day Wit ll 94l clue §0911 3 14 At 0gitC4914 . --FrOM a Corroponckfff, RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.

The day was unusually fine, and nothing could exceed the brilliancy of the whole scene, the aris tocracy, clergy, and gentry of the neighbourhood and surrounding country having assembled to witness this interesting ceremony, upon the invitation of the officers of the regiment. The usual preliminaries having been arranged, and the new colours placed in front of the square on a drum head, the garrison chaplain, the Rev. G. P. Bennett, proceeded to deliver a few remarks pre vious to the presentation taking place. It would be im possible to conceive anything more chaste and classical that the eloquent speech made by the reverend gentle man on this occasion ; his address and enunciation were the theme of universal admiration. This done, the chaplain preceeded to deliver a short prayer in consecrat ing the new colours. Immediately after the Lieutenant- General addressed the soldiers in an able and heart stirring speech, reverting to the former noble deeds of the gallant corps, which was well responded to by Lieu tenant-Colonel Ashmore, in a !short but appropriate speech, in which he thanked the Lieutenant-General on his own part and that of the regiment, for the very hand some terms in which he had spoken of the corps. The usual forms having been gone through, this interesting ceremony was concluded by three cheers for the Queen, and three cheers for the regiment, to which was added three cheers more by request of the Lieutenant-General, in honour of the ladies who had graced the happy scene that day with their presence. At two o'clock a magnifi cent dejeuner a la fourchette was prepared in the mess room, to which nearly three hundred of the neighbour ing nobility, clergy, and gentry sat down, on the invi tation of the officers of the regiment. The tables groaned with the viands, and every delicacy that the season could afford ; sparkling Burgundy and hock liberally circu lated, and the attention and urbanity displayed by the ladies of the regiment, and the officers also, were most conspicuous, each vying with the other in attention and devotion to their guests. The company separated at three o'clock, but re--united again at six o'clock in the evening, when dancing, polkaing, waltzing, &c., were resorted to, and the day's festivity was closed by a most magnificent supper. Thus ended a day's amusement, which will be long remembered in the garrison of Wee don. —Northampton Mercury.
