Lord Romilly's reign of the Rolls has been distinguished by the opening of our national archives to historical inquirers, in a manner unknown to our fathers, by the arrangement and calendaring of our state papers, by the publication of our ancient chronicles, and by the preparation Of a splendid catalogue of the materials of our history. Our public papers are the highest in Europe, and have no rivals for copious ness and completeness anywhere, except in the United States. Lord Romilly had the happy genius to imagine, and the resolute courage to carry out, a magnificent scheme for making these documents the common property of all students and writers. In connection with our literary history his name will be gratefully recalled long after his fame as a lawyer may have become a thing of the past. Such services as his do not easily die out of reraegibrause. —Athenaeum. 3 Ipl 101 103 1 49 51 101 001 1251 41 5 944 62 1334 SIGN- 65 60 01 10 ip t ai 6 2 10 11 75 80 96 98 60 7U 100 102 300 101 ICO sO2 par 41, 35 36 87 89 67 69 57 62 58 60 52 57 46 50 42 46 34 36 33 35 100 102 } }W i I P 1014 1026 166 166 4 34 , .1 i 2 $4 84 1 4d 93 100 93 95 89 91 F 3 65 83 E 5 ttk 102, 101 i 102 i 98 99 II MINES THE SUN, LONJDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 13, lE€6. LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH: (Before Mr. Justices Mellor, Blackburn, and Lush.) LLOYD V. LITTLE. Mr. Sergeant Atkinson, for the defendant, moved in this case for a new trial. The case was origi nally heard before Mr. Justice Blackburn at Guild hall, and resulted in a verdict being returned for plaintiff, the defendant being absent when he was called upon to give evidence. The learned sergeant said the defendant was absent from accident, and had he been examined a different version would have been presented. The action was brought for the recovery of the price of a quantity of gold quartz, iron ore, and wine, which, the plaintiff alleged he sold to defendant quite as a matter of speculation. The mineral, if it proved to be gold quartz, would be wocth twenty times the value paid for it ; but if not, it would be comparatively worthless. This latter circumstance turned out to be the case, but the defendant said such was not the arrangement. The money alleged to be clue had been paid into court, and, under all the circumstances of the case, he submitted there ought to be a new trial. The Court granted the application. (Sittings at Guildhall.) (Before the Lord Chief Justice and a Special Jury.) HILL V. FINNEY. The hearing of this extraordinary and protracted case was resumed. Mr. Karslake, Q.C., on the part of the defendant, concluded his summing up yesterday. Mr. Coleridge replied on the whole case this morning. Tie contended that the medical testimony advanced on behalf of the defendant, in support of the alleged cruelty of the plaintiff to his wife, had entirely failed, and the facts upon which his client founded the present suit were fully established. The learned counsel then went through the evidence in detail, laying great stress on the portions of the statement of the plaintiff which had been corrobo rated both by the testimony heard before the court viva voce as well as that taken by commission. The case will not, at the earliest, conclude before Monday. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Martin, Channell, and Piggott.) BOUILLON V. VALENTIN. Their lordships gave judgment in this case, which was originally tried at Westminster, and, it will be recollected occupied the court for many days. It was an action to recover the value of certain shares, and the jury gave a verdict in favour of the de fendant, Madame Valentin, whose case has so often been before the judges, and with which the public are fully acquainted. Their lordships this morning decided against Madame Valentin, and directed the rule to be made absolute for a new trial. . _ The case will therefor© have to be retried. CAVE V. FIELDSON. Serrant Parry moved in this case for a new trial on the ground of misdirection, surprise, and verdict against evidence. The action was brought by the plaintiff, Mr. Cave, the lessee of the Mary lebone Theatre, against the defendant, the editor of one of the local journals published in the borough of Marylebone, for damages for assault. The assault complained of arose at a public dinner, which was given to celebrate the return of Mr. Chambers as one of the members for Marylebone at the last gene ral election. A number of the supporters of the un successful candidate and late member, Lord Fermoy, were present, and when certain toasts were proposed a disturbance was created, and the plaintiff feeling some interest in the matter took part in the discus sion. The contention became so great that the convenience of the general company was inter fered with, and the plaintiff was threatened to be removed from the room if he did not become quiet. He questioned the right of any persons to re move him from the place, but four of the company made short work of that matter, as they took up Mr. Cave and carried him from the room and literally, as Sergeat Parry said, threw him into the gutter. The plaintiff alleged he had been treated with great violence, and he accordingly brought his action against the defendant as one of the persons who had been active in the matter. For the defence it was contended that the plaintiff had conducted himself in a very objectionable manner, and that he was in consequence removed. The jury found a verdict for the defendant, and thi s decision the plaintiff was anxious to have reconsidered on the grounds stated. The Court was unanimously of opinion that there should be no rule in the case, and the learned sergeant's application was refused. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. BERRY V. DA COSTA-BREACII OF PROMISE. Mr. Huddlestone moved in this case, on the part of the defendant, for a new trial on the ground that the damages were excessive and misdirection. It will be recollected that the action was originally tried before Chief Justice Erle iu November last, and a verdict was given for the plaintiff for £2,500. This amount, the learned counsel contended, was excessive and quite beyond the justice of the case. The learned gentleman then read an affidavit by the defendant, which stated that his income had been greatly overstated—that hehad not seduced plaintiff —that the first time he met her was in Oxford-street, and that the relationship which existed between them had been continued entirely with the consent of the plaintiff. If this was the case, the learned gentleman said it was not surprising that defendant should wish to break off the intimacy, and thus he sent the letter to the plaintiff, referring her to his solicitor, relative to a settlement of any demand she might have upon him. The evidence respecting the defendant's means was greatly exaggerated, as in his affidavit he stated also s he had only £6OO per annum. Mr. Justice Smith remarked that that was the income of defendant at the time of action. Mr. Huddleston proceeded to argue strongly in support of his application, and contended that the means of the defendant must be taken at the time the intimacy existed, and not upon his prospective position. Rule refused. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. WESTMINSTER. Henrietta Griffin, a woman aged 35, was charged with begging of the Marquis of Townshend. The prisoner said she had got no home and was desti tute ; but the gaoler said she had been at the Court before, and she was put back for the attendance of the parish officers. THAMES. Ellen Macarthy, a low dissipated woman, was charged with biting off the nose of Ann Swann. Mr. Partridge, the magistrate, to mark his opinion of the brutality, at once committed the prisoner for trial. MARKETS—This Day. COVENT GARDEN.

THE FIRST ALL ENGLAND PLOUGHING MATCH OF 1866.—The first match of this year took place on Tuesday last at Turner's Hill, near East Grinstead, in Sussex. Thole were nine competitors in the All England Class, and the Champion and three other prizes in this class were won with Ransome and Simes's ploughs. This firm had six ploughs competing at this match, every one of which gained a prize. MIDDLE-SLASS EDUCATION IN THE CITY.—A meeting was held at the Mansion House yesterday, in furtherance of the movement for establishing middle cM Rs schools in the City. The committee, appointed at the meeting held for the same purpose some time ago, pre sented a report of what they had done. They think that a school in which 800 or 1,000 children may receive edu cation at a rate of payment not exceeding £4 per annum, should be erected in Finsbury. For this £50,000 would be required ; but the committee resolved to raisa a fund of £lOO,OOO, and for that purpose asked the bankers, mer chants, and public bodies of London to subscribe sums of £l,OOO or £5OO each. In answer to their appeal 33 sub scriptions of £l,OOO each, and seven of £5OO each have been promised, besides several smaller sums. The report of the committee was adopted, and resolutions passed urging the active prosecution of the work. THE FUNERAL OF SIR CHARLES EASTLAKE.-011 the 47th of December we were at the beautiful extramural Campo Santo, beyond Porta S. Gallo, to attend an occasion when British residents had been invited, by public notice, to show their respect for the illustrious dead —the funeral of Sir Charles Eastlako, which took place at noon, many English visitors being present besides the im mediate mourners, among whom Lady Eastlako had the fortitude to take her honoured place. It was a clear, frosty, and beautiful day ; the villa-studded heights of Fiesole rose distinct in view beyond the cypress avenues and marble tombs; no scene could have worn an aspect of more sooth ing and sunny loveliness, yet at the same time harmonious in its bright repose, with the solemnity of death. On this day we saw, for the first time, the monument of Mrs. Browning, reminding us of her funeral, which took place on a summer evening here.—Builder. ROBBERY OF £875 FROM A MAIL TRAIN.—A most extensive robbery has taken place in connection with the postal delivery in the north of Scotland. The letter bags in the mail train, which leaves Aberdeen in the morn ing for the south, were on Thursday found to have had abstracted from them the sum of £875 in mixed notes. We have been unable to learn at what part of the journey the robbery took place. The police authorities in Edin burgh were apprised of the fact by telegram from Aber deen, and measures are being taken for tho detection of the thief.—Caledonian Mercury. COURT-MARTIAL ON THE OFFICERS OF H.M.S. BULLDOG.—The court-martial upon Captain Wake and the officers late of H.M.S. Bulldog for the loss of that ship will be opened on board the port admiral's ship, the Royal Adelaide, at Devonport, on Monday next. The evidence is to be strictly limited to the nautical circumstances con nected with the losing of the ship. An investigation into the alleged breach of the orders of Admiral Sir James Hope, G.C.8., that no hostile movement was to be com menced without his express sanction, has not been ordered by the Admiralty. THE MURDER NEAR ABERDARE.—On Thursday the coroner's jury proceeded with the inquest on the body of the young man found dead in a wood near Aberdare a few days ago. A verdict of wilful murder was returned against the accused, Robert Coe. ATTEMPT TO MURDER AT DERBY.—At the Derby Borough Police-court yesterday, before Mr. R. Pegg, Wil liam Smith, joiner, Stockbrook-street, aged 30, a married man with a family, was charged with stabbing, with intent to murder, Mr. Thomas Winfield, corn-factor, Crompton street. Smith was removing some goods from a house the property of Mr. Winfield, who put a bailiff in possession. At the request of Smith the bailiff called Mr. Winfield back, when the prisoner ran at him with a large knife, and said " Take that, you—." The instrument penetrated two thicknesses of a top-coat, through the trousers, and entered the lower put of the body. THE ALLEGED POISONING IT BACUP.—On Wed nesday the adjourned inquest on the body of Alice Tew, a native of Stockport, who, it was supposed, had been poisoned with white precipitate of mercury by a young married man called Henry Heap, was held at Bacup before Mr. Hargreaves. Dr. C. Calvert, of Manchester, analytical chemist, said he had examined tho stomach, liver, and in testines sent to him, but had not been able to find the pre sence of any mercurial poison. The coroner having summed up, a verdict of death from natural causes was re turned. Manchester Courier. STRANGE VISITORS TO ALDERSHOT.—A peculiar and unpleasant race has lately made its appearance at Aldershot Camp, and in such force that its existence and presence has had to be taken official military notice of. The army there has been daringly invaded by immense numbers of rate, and the depredations of those obnoxious foragers have become so great that it has been considered necessary to adopt stringent measures to ensure their de struction. On Monday and Tuesday, in no less than eight battalions or lines of huts, poison was deposited, and a cautionary notice to that effect issued by the assistant-ad jutant-general, Colonel Newdegate. DEATH IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.—On the arri val of a train at the Paris terminus of the Northern Rail way yesterday morning, a passenger was found in a crouch ing position in a third class carriage quite doad, apparently from a fit of apoplexy. lie had taken the train at St. Quentin, and on his person was found the sum of 6,000 f., as well as a letter addressed to M. Boncelina, pig dealer, at Contesson, but no papers to prove his identity. The body was removed to the Morgue, and an inquiry has beau com menced to discover his family.—Galignani. Railway and other Companies. NORTH LONDON. In the account of the proceedings at a meeting of this company which appeared in The Sun of Thurs day it was stated that Mr. Hartridge called the attention of the directors to the delays that fre quently occurred in working the traffic on their line between Broad -street and Bow, it should have been between Camden-station and Bow. Travel lers between Camden and Bow stations and the Great Eastern and Blackwall Railways now had to make a detour to Dalston, there alight, pass over a bridge, and proceed ,by the next train ; instead of as formerly, travelling in one carriago throughout. The working of the traffic as between Broad-street and Bow was deemed satisfactory. VICTORIA STATION AND PIMLICO. Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of this com pany was held at the offices, Westminster-chambers, Victoria-street ; Mr. W. Lee, M.P., in the chair. The report, an abstract of which has appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN remarked that the brevity of the report might be taken as an indication of the pro sperity of the company. It was stated in the re port that the revenue account showed a balance of £8,946, admitting of the same dividend as last half year—viz., 31 per cent. ; that during the current year the receipts would provide a dividend of 74 per cent., and in 1867 the dividend would reach its maximum of 9 and a fraction per cont. He wished to correct this statement, as in 1867 the dividend would reach its maximum of 9 per cent., with an occasional bonus. He then moved the adop tion of the report, which was seconded by Mr. Blyth, and carried unanimously. Messrs. G. Witt and P. P. Blyth were re-elected directors, and Mr. J. Ball as auditor. The dividend of £3 ss. per cent. for the half-year was declared. A vOte of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings. MIDLAND AND GREAT WESTERN JUNCTION. It appears that the bill for this line has been withdrawn. ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN. An alliance has been formed between this com pany and the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company for mutual traffic facilities, by which the Atlantic and Great Western Company will obtain access to Philadelphia, and the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company access to the West. DANUBE AND BLACK SEA. A special general meeting of this company was held on Thursday at the offices, Abingdon-street, Westminster—Mr. Liddell in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said the meeting had been con vened for the pu?pose of obtaining the sanction of the proprietors to a convention with the Imperial Ottoman Government, by which the company pro posed to transfer the nominal ownership of the har bour of Kusteudjie, on the Black Sea. The company were to receive £7,500 a year in lieu of the dues, and £2,500 for the maintenance of the harbour and quays. In consequence of the difficulty experienced with ambassadors and sea captains as to the levying of dues a deputation waited upon Earl Russell, who warmly took up the views of the company, and wrote a despatch requesting the English Ambassador to bring his influence to bear on the matter. Eventu ally the convention passed, owing in a great mea sure to the exertions of Lord Lyons, and it now only awaited the ratification of the Sultan. In reply to questions, the CHAIRMAN said he be lieved the payment by the Turks would be good for someyears, and in default of their receiving £lO,OOO a year as stipulated, the company could still work as usual, owing to the receipts for grain aid other traffic. A resolution pledging the sanction of the share holders to the convention was then agreed to unani mously, and a vote of thanks to the chairman con cluded the proceedings.

The necessary license was obtained, but the station-master at Catterick would not book the bull farther than New castle. It was, therefore, necessary to obtain a fresh license at that place, and as no farmers could bo found who had a2B days' knowledge of the boast, it can neither go north nor south, but is kept in the truck at the New castle Station. INEXHAUSTIBLE IVORY.—New Siberia t o the Isle of Lackon are, for the most part, only an agglomeration of sand, ice, and elephants' teeth. At every tempest the sea casts ashore fresh heaps of mammoths tusks, and the inhabitants are able to drive a profitable trade in the fossil ivory thrown up by the waves. Dur ing summer innumerable fishermen's barks direct their course to this isle of bones; and in winter immense car-n vans take the same route, all the convoys drawn by dogs, returning charged with the tusks of the mammoth, weigh ing each from 150 to 200 pounds. The fossil ivory thus obtained from the frozen north is imported into China and Europe, where it is employed for the same purposes as ordinary ivory—which is furnished, as we know, by the elephant and hippopotamus of Africa and Asia. The isle of bones has served as a quarry of this valuable material for export to China for 500 years ; and it has been exported to Europe for upwards of 100. But the supply from these strange mines remains undiminished. What a Number of accumulated generationi does not this profusion of bones and tusks imply.—Pichnis All the Year Round." 701 1C01& ,ITIES. 'AIR, UST. FORWOOD'S PHRENOLOGY. There is a class of persons, and by no means a small one, who are born with unsound constitu tions, made of sickly material, with delicate fibres, delicate all over, incapable of really healthy diges tion and assimilation, and, of course, incapable of making good wholesome blood. Such persons favourably circumstanced as to air, occupation, diet, and education often improve and hold on for many years without becoming victims to any particular disease. The brain, however distinct its functions, may be from the functions of the organs in the trunk, is nevertheless in close associa tion with these organs. From these it has to receive its constant supply through the blood of food wherewith to repair its waste of fibre. Originally partaking of the constitution of the rest of the system, its aliment in such cases as are here alluded to is liable to be of a very unwholesome kind, and thus its natural delicacy and liability to diseased action are continually aggravated more or less ac cording to circumstances. In many instances a scrofulous diathesis is at the root of this kind of constitution. This fact may notbe indicated by the ordinary glandular signs, but it is discernible in the form and position of the teeth, their early decay, the size, form, and consistency of the nails, the texture and colour of the skin, the hair, the mode of breathing, the clear and watery eye, and other minute indications known only to keen and practised observers of such signs and tokens. But too many medical men are unacquainted with these nice symptoms, and do not see the insidious evil that they indicate. When persons with this kind of constitution happen to have sufficiently large and fairly formed brains, not primarily attacked by scrofulous action, they may ride through life's voyage unwrecked, circumstances favouring them, though they are even in danger of attacks of acute disease, whether of body or mind. Such attacks may not produce common in sanity, but only some of the various eccentric no tions on moral, religious, or other subjects, call them " hobbyriding," ruling passions," or " darling ideas" of one class or another. Infelicitously or ganised in brain, such constitutions of body or mind usually tell their story early in life, and at a more or less rapid pace arrive at a tragic terminus —best when this is the cemetery. Of this class of constitutions was Forwood, exe cuted on the 11th inst. at Maidstone, for the mur der of three children by poison in London, and of his wife and one child at Ramsgate. I did not see him alive, but I could discern some of the more obscure signs of a scrofulous diathesis. His teeth were for the most part decayed, his nails small, short, and brittle, his head partially bald, though he was only 35 years old, and on his chin, at one side, there was an obvious scar, indicative of a lanced abscess long healed. He was, if not very ill made, of a typeless figure. His feet were flat and much turned outwards. Like many persons of scrofulous habits he was a heavy feeder, and a great bread eater. But his head was by no means of any of the types exhibited in the numerous casts of the heads of criminals in the phrenological collections. He seems to have had a smattering of phrenology, as of several subjects, and he requested of the Gover nor of Maidstone gaol that a cast of his head might be taken, a report thereon had from a competent phrenologist, and also that his brains might be ex tracted and submitted to surgical analysis. The second request was not complied with ; the first was, and the work of taking the cast and reporting thereon has devolvedon me. A minute analysis of his mental organisation, as bearing on his life, his crimes, and his conduct since his apprehension and conviction, your space would not permit me to enter into. In another form such analysis may appear. It is a very interesting case in a psychological, a medical, and a judicial point of view. Forwood's head, I repeat, cannot be classed with ' auy of the generally known criminal types. It bears no resemblance to that of Rush, Greenacre, Courvoisier, Palmer, Bellingham, Patch, Corder, Burke, Bishop, Hare. In form it is proportionate, and though it lacks coronal height as compared with its width, there is nothing uneven nor obtrusive in its general outline, nor any irregularity in the de velopment of its individual organs. Less than half an inch more of height in the moral region would have made the head positively handsome. The basilar or animal region of the brain—posterior anu lateral —is by no means coarsely developed. The coro nal region does not show meagre " Conscientious ness," neither " Self-Esteem" nor " Love of Appro bation" has a predominating organ, and of " Firmness" there is a good development. " Hope," " Sympathy," and the other organs of the class moral, are fairly developed. Th intellectual re gion, or forehead, though by no means of a superior type as regards the higher spheres of thought, is far from being of a meagre and cramped type. All the perceptive organs are excellently developed— givii 2; a more than ordinary power to acquire a large share of practical and varied knowledge—had education come to fertilise and utilise so competent a congeries of capabilities. But such was not For wood's lot. He was probably exposed at an early age, as many like him are, to most unfavourable influences. He had little or no literary education, yet he learned to write well, and to express himself in a fairly correct and grammatical way. He had words at will, and was most fluent in speech, and had evidently tried at reading works on subjects of which his limited education en abled him to acquire only a smattering comprehen sion. Probably Forwood found his way early into the billiard-room. He would readily have become a good player, and soon learn to do a bit of picking tip in order to keep himself in pocket-money. No matter with what stock of native honesty he may have matriculated in this college, he could not have proceeded far without finding that he could not afford to keep on billiard-playing and " keep a con science ;" and so he, no doubt, took the several de grees, independently of his troublesome companion and impediment, and became in no brief time a master in this smooth and gentlemanly art of be coming a confirmed and unscrupulous swindler, and clever picker up. The dice-box and pack of cards are seldom far from the board of green cloth—drops of brandy come at call, and the maker of " can nons" and " hazards" "to a dead certainty" has, in ninety-nine cases in a hundred, cannoned and hazarded himself into thorough swindlerism, and become " Outcast to virtue, peace, and fame, His country's curse, his children's shame." When Forwood had risen, or sunk, to the office of marker his education had been pretty well com pleted, and his onward career accelerated to a rat tling pace. Are our magistrates acting wisely in licensing unlimitedly the billiard " guilt gardens," where young clerks and " gents" of all classes are to be seen in crowds every night pacing more or less rapidly the road to ruin. Formerly one or two tables were licensed in a house, now ten or a dozen or more are under one roof—the haunts of smooth sharks on the watch for prey of all sizes, from a green shopboy to a groggy country customer or other novice, drunk or sober. As regards Forwood's sanity, the question has been legally disposed of by a fair trial, and, I think, properly. At the same time, I by no means question either the motive or the judgment of whoever endeavoured to save Forwood's life on the plea of his mental unsoundness. I do not think that he came within the class mad ; and I should not call him sound minded. As to his ostentatious, stilted, and wordy decla rations on the subject of religious belief, they e n and wife, I am He was full of vanity , and the kind of craftiness were in harmony with the rest of his conduc t since his condemnation . As to the motives he as _ signed for m urdering b disposed to view them merely as after th oughts, and not improbablyirap is os e t hi u l i .d e r s on himself, that is apt to blind the cunnthg, not al one to exter nal truth, but to cheat, most of all, and betray him in whom it may dominate.

A FORTUNE-TELLER IN TROUBLE.—The Tribunal of Correctional Police has just tried a man named Baumer and a married woman named Estel, charged with fraudu lently obtaining money by pretending to tell fortunes by means of cards, chiromancy, and somnambulism ; Baumer was likewise accused of illegally practising medi cine. The defendants occupied an apartment in the Rue Deaurepaire, and distributed prospectuses in which the female prisoner was announced as Signora Jeanne, an extra-lucid somnambulist, and the male pri soner as Signor Eaumero, professor of physiology, chiro ntahcy, and magnetism. They also profeosed to cure dis eases of all kinds, and to sell charms with which any one could easily win the affections of the person whom he or she wished to marry. Numerous witnesses were examined, some of whom deposed that they had purchased from the defendants ineffective remedies for various complaints; others that they had paid to have their fortunes told. One Young woman, a cook, stated that she had given them 20f. for a ball of thread, some bran, and a stone, and 25f. for a miraculous ring, which charms, she was assured, would have the effect, if properly used, of winning the heart of a man whom she wished to marry; but unfortunately they had not produced the effect desired. Several other witnesses deposed that talismans which they had purchased from the prisoners for similar purposes had been equally useless. After hearing counsel for the defence, the court declared the charges of swindling established against both defend ants, and sentenced them to a fortnight's imprisonment. Baumer was also fined 15f, for illegally practising medi- LONDON GAZETTE—Last Evening. WHITEHALL, JAN. 10.

Not only was telegraphic communication cut off, so that the usual summary of market, commercial, and political intelligence was not forthcoming to be posted on the Exchange and in the newsrooms, but some block on the railway caused the early morning train to be late, and the London ea rl y morning train with the newspapers did not arrive till two o'clock in the afternoon, instead of at 12 in the morning.
