LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) THE GLOBE PARCELS EXPRESS COMPANY AND THE CARRIERS' ACT.-WHEATLEY V. UTROFF. This was an action to recover £lO for the carriage of certain goods to Madrid. _ - - Mr. 0. B. 0. Harrison appeared for defendant, who paid £5 into court. The plaintiff said that he was proprietor of the Globe Parcels Express Company, and in September last he re ceived a parcel for Madrid. Knowing that the expense of carriage would be very heavy, an estimate was sent in, and defendant desired the goods to be sent. Cross-examined —We do not guarantee parcels for Spain, nor is there any specific timo for goods to reach Madrid on account of the difficulties with the Spanish Custom House. Mr. Harrison—The defendant's answer to this case is that the goods did not arrive in a reasonable time. The plaintiff surely cannot be alloWed to set up that ho is not liable for delay. His Honour—The effect of the defence will be to com pel Mr. Wheatley to put a clause in his agreement with the public to the effect, that he will not be answerable for delay. Plaintiff—We do tell the public so, but it is not put in the receipt given to the parties. Mr. Harrison—Then it is not brought to our knowledge. His Honour—lt certainly ought to have been put in the contract with defendant. Mr. Harrison—The goods sent to Madrid were cheese and biscuits, and though the carriage was just double the value of the parcel, my client had an object in such parcel reaching Madrid by a certain time. That object was frustrated by the delay. Plaintiff—The goods were detained at the Spanish Custom House. His Honour—Here is a letter from the agent at the Spanish frontier, who states that the goods were detained at the custom house. There are many points in the case which should be settled, and I cannot do better than refer the matter to some gentleman. Plaintiff and Mr. Harrison both agreed to this, and the case was referred.

THE BALL AT THE PALMS ROYAL—The ball given on Saturday last at the Palais Royal by P;in c,ess Clotilde and Print° Napoleon is still the talk of the day. This is the first entertainment of the kind witnessed within those walls for many years, and the suites of apart ments having been lately new furnished and restored, much curiosity was felt by the beau monde of Paris to penetrate within and judge of the taste which had presided over the ar rangements. These are declared to be perfect. Upwards of 24 saloons and galleries barely sufficed for the accommoda tion and free circulation of the two thousand and two or three hundred guests, who, by dint of petitioning and im portunity, had succeeded in extending to themselves the 1,500 invitations originally issued out. Tho Prince and Princess did tho honours admirably, their palace being converted, through the myriads of lights and lustres which lighted it up, and shrubs and flowers which adorned it, into a perfect palace of the " Arabian Nights," with its illusions of fairy effects. Not the least interesting of the saloons was that containing many relics of the great Napoleon, which had passed into the hands of his brother Hrome, and thence into those of the latter's son, and at one time formed part of Prince Napoleon's collection in his Pompeian villa, Avenue de Montaigne. Another smaller room is fitted up in imita tion of that in which the founder of the dynasty was born at Ajaccio, and contains, in fact, the self-same meubles. Ono part of a voluminous library is also entirely devoted to works connected with the life and history of the first Napoleon, while in the saloon styled salon des six bastes are placed six heads of the first Napoleon, executed at various epochs of his life—when a collegian at Brienne, at the head of the armies of Italy, as Consul and then Emperor, at the Tuileries, and, finally, at the close of his chequered career, as a prisoner at St. Helena. The resemblance of the heads of the uncle and 313 phew was most striking, and did not fail to draw forth many observations from the bystanders. The artistic taste of the possessor is easily to be recognised in the details of the palace, which abounds in pictures, statues, and objets d'art of every description.—Paris Cor respondent of' The Queen. The PANTELEGRAPH.—We have several times had invention,tboy which he n t o h t e on A ly bb tr e an C sn a li S t e s ili fl ls om wo on ndef one place to another the words of a despatch, but the very hand writing of the person that sends it. As this new telegraphic system is now beginning to receive a practical application on a large scale, a description of the apparatus may not be uninteresting to our readers. Imagine a cast iron frame shaped like an A, and a pendulum suspended from its apex. At each foot of the frame there is an olectro-magnet, through the action of which the pendulum, which is two metres in length, oscillates between them, according as an electric cur rent passes from one to the other. About the middle of the shaft of the pendulum there is a sort of arm or cam, which, at each oscillation, causes a lever fixed to the cross bar of the Ato describe a circular arc. At the end of each oscillation, this lever twice meets a click-and-spring work fixed to the same cross-bar; at the first stroke the metallic vibration is interrupted, and at the second a fork is set in motion, the prongs of which alternately set on the teeth of ratch, which is thus forced to turn, and in so doing com municates motion to an endless screw cut , into its own shaft. This endless screw causes two small chariots to move simultaneously : each chariot carries a fine still point or stylus. Now as, in virtue of the endless screw, these two points move uniformly in the same direc tion, the progress of one not differing from that of the other even by a hair's breadth, it follows that what ever stroke will be described by the one, will he imitated with mathematical exactness by the other. Now, suppose a metallic plate to be placed under each point, these plates being curved like the circular arcs described by the points, then, after a certain number of oscillations of the pendulum, these points in moving along will have described upon the plates as many parallel lines infinitely close to each other as there have been oscillations ; hence the whole surface of the plates has been gone over. The plates are in direct communication with the ground by means of chains, r o e n c e i p o i f e n t plates ih e s e w n e d e w r i l o l f c a al l despatchthe tra n v s n n . : i i i t e t t s e i r t , w the h o c t n t h o n e c a a i t p u i s e solution n in t ink on a sheet of tinned paper, and places it on the trans mitter.

Thus the point which works on the chemical paper of the recipient will produce a blue stroke on the latter for every black stroke on the despatch ; for steel in contact with cyanide of potassium, and under the influence of a positive current, produces blue. Hence, supposing the despatch to have been written in black in Paris, and trans mitted to Lyons, the correspondent at the lattef place it ill receive, in blue, the exact fan-simile of the sender's hand writing. An order to pay a certain sum may thus be trans mitted with perfect safety. SNOWBALL RIOTS ON THE Livtnroor, EXCHANGE FLAGS.— On Thursday and yesterday snow fell heavily in the middle of the day at Liverpool, and a num ber of young fellows having begun to snowball each other, a general meke on both days ensued. A force of police was marched on to the flags, and were subjected to a severe buffeting. They charged in line, but the line was speedily broken, and every rioter taken into custody was speedily rescued. Yesterday hose were brought on to the flags, and the water turned on to wash the snow away. Mischievous people, however, cut the hose, and the water streaming around and into thci mob added to the confusion. Throughout, however, the most marked good humour was observable both on the part of the "public" and of the police. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Dap• MARLBOROaIII-STREET. SELLING OBSCENE PHOTOGRAPHS.—James Brewer, of 30, Castle-street, St. Martin's, bookseller, was brought before Mr. Knox on a warrant, charged with unlawfully and scandalously uttering obscene photographs. Mr. Poland, instructed by Mr. Ellis, of the firm of Ellis and Ellis, Spring -gardens, prosecuted on the part of the Commissioners of Police, Mr. Hannant, the superintendent of the C Division, being also in attendance. Mr. Poland, in opening the case, said it was a case of selling prints of a disgraceful character. A quantity of prints had been seized at the prisoner's place on a former occasion. The Commissioners of Police thought this a case where the prisoner ought to be proseouted at the Sessions . James Avis Tucker, 56, Rupert-street, Haymarket , proved going to the prisoner's shop, 30, Castle-street, at the request of the police, being accompanied by Police-con stable Butcher. He saw the prisoner, and asked to see some prints. The prisoner showed him some, and he said they were not the sort he wanted. The prisoner said, "I suppose you want something broad," and he said he did. The prisoner then took him into his parlour, and asked him if he was from the country. He said he was. The prisoner then said, "Can you show me anything from the country, or a railway ticket ?" He told him ho could not. After some further conversation the prisoner took him to another room, and from a drawer took a number of inde cent cartes de visite, stereoscopic slides, some books, and porcelain transparencies some of them coloured, and some of them plain. He purchased the one produced for 2s. 6d. All he saw were similar to the one produced, and grossly indecent. He then left the shop, and handed the print to Police-constable Butcher, who was outside. On the same evening he went to the shop with a person named Hunt, and saw him purchase a stereoscopic slide—the one produced—for which he paid ss. A young man named Hunt proved going with the last witness to the shop of the prisoner and purchasing a stereoscopic slide produced.; The prisoner showed him several other slides and prints, all grossly indecent. He paid ss. for the slide he purchased, and loft with the last witness, and gave the slide up to Butcher, who was wait ing outside, and who had searched them both before going into the shop. Police-constable Charles Butcher, 137 C, said that on the 21st of December he went with Tucker to the shop of the prisoner, having previously searched him to see that he had nothing about him. He (Butcher) was in plain clothes at the time. On Tucker coming out of the shop he gave him the slide produced. He went again the same evening with Hunt, and also searched him, and then gave him 10s. to purchase a slide. On his coming out he gave him (Butcher) the slide produced. The following day he went with Inspector Draper and seized above one hundred slides, books, prints, and a pipe-bowl, all of the grossest kind. The name of " Megret and Co." was over the door. In spector Draper took the prisoner into custody last night. Had always noticed the prisoner at the shop. In answer to Mr. Knox, the constable said the articles seized had been produced. Inspector George Diaper said that on the 22d December he made a seizure at 30, Castle-street, the prisoner then being present. The articles, or a greater portion of them, were in a drawer in the back - room —stereoscopic slides, books, photographs, &c. He took the prisoner into custody last night at the same place. On entering the shop the prisoner said, " What, here again ?" and said he was a servant ; and on his asking who was the master, he said there were several of them, Megret being one of them. He then asked the prisoner where Megret lived, and he said he did not know, but that he came there sometimes. He then took him into custody. The prisoner said he had no questions to ask. The evidence having been read over, Mr. Knox asked the prisoner whether ho wished to say anything ? He was not bound to say anything, but he would be indicted for the misdemeanour and for having indecent prints in his possession. _ _ The prisoner said he had nothing to say. Committed for trial. WESTMINSTER. Susincious POSSESSIONS.—AIfred Warwick, a young man, was charged with loitering about the streets with intent to commit robbery. Police-constable Williams, 80 B, said that at a little after 12 last night he was in plain clothes, when he saw the prisoner loitering about Pimlico. He first saw him in Stanley-street, and observed him put his head over dif ferent area railings and look down. He next went into Cambridge-street, and then into Gloucester-street, where he still made an examination of different areas, and on seeing that he was watched, took to his heels. Witness followed, and having overtaken him, inquired who he was and where he was going to, and finding that he prevari cated in his answers, took him to the station house, where he was locked up on suspicion of intending to commit felony. Mr. Selfe—Did he give you any address ? Witness—No. I asked him several times, but I could got no Bel tialaotory reply. - Mr. Selfo—What did you find upon him—anything that confirmed your suspicions? Witness—Yes. On searching him, all I found was a gimlet and a whistle. Prisoner—There's no harm in them. Mr. Selfe—l dare say not. They're very useful things in their way. Where were you going to ? Prisoner—Newton-street, Holborn, or Clare-market. Other questions were asked, but the answers were most unsatisfactory. Prisoner—l assure you I did not mean any harm. Mr. Selfe—A gimlet and a whistle are suspicious pos sessions. You are remanded till Friday next. THAMES. INGENIOUS SmtraGLG.--,Tohn Gibbs, a seaman belong ing to the steamship Lucerne, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with smuggling 201- lbs. of foreign manufactured tobacco, by which he had incurred a penalty of £lOO. Yesterday a Custom-house officer and his assistants went on board the Lucerne and overhauled her, and in answer to the usual inquiry all hands said that they had no to bacco or spirits in th e i r possess i on, an d did no t k now o f any being on board. A rigid search was made by the officers and a wate r - c l ose t was remove d. O n ra i s i ng th e flooring under the water-closet 171bs. of Cavendish tobacco was discovered. The men were questioned, and prisoner said the tobacco was his, and he had secreted it in the place where it was found. He was asked how he came to conceal it, to which he replied I mean't to take it on shore whenever I had the opportunity. He also said that he bought 191bs of tobacco at Gibraltar for a smuggling venture. He was taken into the cabin and overhauled by a revenue officer, who found 3flb. of tobacco concealed about his per son. It was fastened to his body, to his legs, and to his arms; and he smelt, said the officer, like a tobacco ware house. Tho prisoner implored of the officer to be merci ful to him on account of his family. The tobacco was produced, and stated to be real Caven dish of approved quality. Mr. Partridge said ho had 110 power to mitigate tho penalty sought for the Crown, and he must fine the pri soner £lOO. In default of payment, ho sentenced the de fendant to six months' imprisonment. The prisoner—As well ask me to pay the national debt as £lOO, CRIME IN FRANCE, Tho Tribunal of Correctional rale° on Thursday tried I two men named Andrieux and Lacour, on a charge of having established an unauthorised lottery. A man named Favier was also charged as an accomplice in giving pubiicity to the scheme and in selling tickets. It appears that the first two defendants purchased some of the Crddit Fonder bonds, which are entitlegl to prizes if they comeme announced they then pub liclyings selling - their chances rs their i ate n rl drawings o wf to any person who w oul d purchase the tickets, out fit a t the quarterly intention and they offered them at very low prices. As this constituted a lottery entirely distinct from the combinations of the Credit Foncier, and not sanctioned by the privileges granted to that c ompany, the present proceedi ngs were taken. The charges having been fully proved, the Tri bunal condemned Andrieux and Lacour each to pay a fine of 200 f., and Favier one of 50f. The confiscation of all the tickets and papers seized was also ordered. The Tribunal of Correctional Police yesterday tried a man named Barousse, aged 28, charged with obtaining money under false pretences, and also with stealing a gold watch, the property of M. Casaux, the well-known singer at the Opera, who deposed as follows :—" About a month since, the prisoner, whom I had never seen before, called on me, and after stating that his father had been a commissary of police at Toulouse, my native place, re quested that as a fellow townsman, I would give him 15fr. to save him from being expelled from his lodgings. I gave him 201 r., and he went away. A few days after he came again and asked me for 10fr. or 15fr. more, which I refused. On the 10th it'd. ho tatitd a third time, about six in the evening, just as I was going to the Opera, and im plored MO to let him have 6fr. or Tft. to pay for a power of attOrhey to enable a person at Totiltitt§d tti receiVe for him his share of his deceased father's property. I expressed my willingness to let him have the money, but added that I would first Consult the edthmigsaty of police On the matter, and told him to meet me at that functionary's office in the morning. I then went to the opera. On re turning home I found that the prisoner had called in my absence, and told the servant that I had authorised him to write a letter there, and on tho table lay a note written by the prisoner, stating thathehad taken my watch, and would return it on Sunday. The next day I received another letter informing me that he had pawned my watch and would redeem it as soon as ho got his money. I then lodged a complaint with the police and the prisoner was arrested." Evidence was given to provelhat the prisoner had for some time lived by obtaining money by means of bogging letters, and that he was an old offender. The Tribunal declared the charges proved, and condemned the accused to three years' imprisonment. Vacancies, Promotions, and Appointments in the Civil Service. (From the Civil Service Gazette.)

Randolph, Elder, and Co. The ves sels are to be built on the composite principle, in which the whole of the frame or skeleton is of iron and the interior of wood. Tho numberof vessels required is nine, varyingfrom 1,000 tons and 200-horse power to 500 tons and 100-horse power, with large freight and passenger carrying capabilities. The construction of the four largest of, these steamships has been intrusted to Messrs. Randolph, Elder, and Co., and they are being fitted with horizontal geared engines, likely to be attended with economy with respect to fuel. The ves sel just launched •is named Koenig William 111. She is 225 ft. long, 51ft. broad, and 22ft. deep, and her draught of water when loaded will be 12ft. The fine steamer Europe, one of the fleet of three built by Messrs. Scott and Co., for the French Compagnie Generale Transatlantiquo, has made a satisfactory trial of her engines in Victoria Ilar honr, Grsenock. The burden of the Europe is 3,400 tons builder's measurement, and she is a sister ship to the Washington and Lafayette, at present plying between New York thid Ifavre. The machinery of the Europe, like that of the sister ships, was made by the Greenock Foundry Company. The engines are side levers of 850- horse power nominal, and the diameter of the cylinders is 941 in., with a stroke of 108 in. The paddles are 37ft Gin, in diameter. The boilers of the Europe are six in number—four of them are for working the engines, the two others being donkey boilers. The fuur large boilers weigh, when empty, 60 tons each ; they aro 22ft. long, 14ft. high, and 12ft. broad. The four boilers have among them 1,131 brass tubes, each ift. long and 3in. in diameter, and they are fired by 24 furnaces, each 10ft. long.

WILLS AND BEQUESTS, (From the Illustrated London News.) The will of the most noble Frederick William Marquis of Bristol, of St. James's-square, and Ick worth Park, Bury St. Edmunds, was proved in her Majesty's Court of Probate on the 9th inst., by the present Marquis and the Right Hon. Lord Augustus Henry Charles Hervey, the sons. The personalty was sworn under £lOO,OOO. His Lordship was born in 1800, and married in 1830, Lady Katherine Isabella Manners, daughter of the fifth Duke of Rutland, K. G., who died in 1848, by whom he had a large family. His lordship succeeded to the title and estates in 1859, and executed his will in 1860 ; and there are two codicils, dated March and July, 1864. To his eldest son, the present Marquis, he has devised all his real estates, and has bequeathed to him the residue of his personal property. To each of his younger sons he has left a legacy of £20,000, and to each of his daughters £lO,OOO besides other bequests to them. The will of the Hon.:Gertrude Ploriuda Tolle mache was administered to in the London Court by her daughter, the Hon. Frances Louisa, wife of the Hon. Algernon Gray Tollemache, the residuary legatee—Arthur Hyde Dendy, Esq., f the Inner Temple, the surviving executor, having renounced. The testatrix was the eldest daughter of the late General Wm. Gardiner, neice of the first Viscount Mountjoy, and widow and relict of the Hon. Charles Tollemache, who died in 1850. The will bears date 1851, and there are three codicils, dated 1853, 1859, 1863. To her sister, Frances Gardiner, she has bequeathed the property left to her by the will of her uncle, Lord Mountjoy, for her life, and after her decease to her testatrix's nieces, Harriet and Frances Hastings. There are a few legacies to friends and to her servants. To the Middlesex Hospital she has bequeathed all her linen and under clothing, and plain pocket handkerchiefs without borders or lace. The residue of her" property she leaves to her daughter, the said Hon. Frances Louisa Tollemache. The will of the late William Kaye, Esq., of Tet worth Hall, Huntingdonshire, was proved in Lon don under £40,000, and is contained in these words :—" The last will and testament of me, Wil liam Kaye, revoking all other wills. I hereby will and bequeath to my most excellent wife, Mary Cecilia, all nly personal and real property, and ap point her executrix, and her sons, Joseph and James, executors.—Dated Nov, 19, 1864." The late James Quilter, Esq., of 1, York-place, Regent's Park, whose personal property was sworn under £7,000, has left to each of the following charitable institutions a legacy of £25 :—The British and Foreign Bible Society, London City Mission, Church Missionary Society ; Female Penitentiary, Pentonville-road ; and the National Schools at Hadley. • Bushranging in New South Wales. It would appear, from the Australian papers just arrived, that bushranging is on the increase in New South Wales. The Sydney Morning Herald, of Dec. 21, says ;--" On the 2d ult. five men, masked and armed, stuck up the sheep station of Mr. Garbutt, a short distance from Mudgee. The bushrangers drove all the inmates into the kitchen, and took with them £35 and two saddles. On the same day Morgan and his mate stopped the Deniliquin mail, about forty miles from Wagga Wagga. They cut open all the letters, and, after examination, said the mail was a very poor one. On the Satur day previous, Ben Hall stuck up the mail from Yass to Lambing Flat. The miscreants rifled the letters, and then burnt all of them, with the periodicals received by the November mail. They were heard of on Monday at the station of Mr. Macnish. On the 29th ult. they paid a visit to the residence of Mr. Rothery, but a party of police were inside, and the bush rangers rode off. On the 29th the Gundaroo mail was also robbed by two armed men, and Mr. Moran, mail contractor, and an assistant bailiff, were stuck up near Collector, and the latter was robbed of £lO. On the 13th of the present month, Morgan made his appearance at the camp of Mr. Adams, road contractor, and bailed up all the men, and as he could get no cash he set fire to the tents. Five Chinamen having made their appearance, he caused them also to join the rest of the men ; and, having ordered them to strip, with a view of searching their garments, they not understanding the command, and therefore apparently hesitating to put it in force, he shot one of them in the arm just below the shoulder joint. This man is now lying in a precarious state. Mr. Jones, another contractor, paid a visit to the camp (which was soon after it had been set on fire) ; he was likewise secured, besides a traveller and two or three other men residing in the neighbourhood, who came there on horseback. On leaving, he took these men with him, as also Mr. Jones, four in all, they being each mounted on horseback. He made them carry a gun with them, and took them by a circuit ous route over the mountains to a small bridge on the Little Billabong, about eight miles south of Kyamba. Here he met two buggies, in one of which were Mr. and Mrs. Manson, on their way to Braidwood, and in the other were two young men travelling to the same destination. These he immediately stopped, ordering them out of their buggies ; and, because Mr. Manson seemed to he sitate, he threatened to shoot the whole of them on the spot. Having got them out, he pointed to the four other men standing where he had placed them in a rank close by, and spoke of them as belonging to his party. This effectually set aside all idea of resistance; and, after having stripped Mr. Manson. to his shirt, and searched the pockets of the others, he succeeded in taking £6 in all. They then asked his permission to proceed, but he said theymustwait 20 minutes, as the mail was expected, and the bug gies would be useful in stopping the passage of the coaches, The time having expired, however, and the mail not arriving, they were allowed to proceed. He conversed freely at the camp for some hours, with the men, detailing his various exploits at great length, and dwelling particularly upon the murder of M‘Gin nerty and Smyth, of which he made no attempt at concealment; indeed, he stated that he had watched Smyth's party five days in order to make sure of the right man. Soon after Mr. Manson had escaped from his clutches, the mail to Albury arrived at the scene of action. The mailman had been previously warned, but did not consider it to be his duty to take any steps by way of special security. Being very light, he allowed it to pass after a merely formal examination ; but shortly afterwards the Albury mail arrived, when he demanded of the driver to stop. This not being instantly complied with, he fired a shot at him to bring him to. He then made hint net out and hold the horses' heads, while he ransacket: +he mails. This inspection lasted a con siderable time, II; the course of which nearly, if not the whole, of the lette:s. were opened, and though many cheques were found, c- .. hich he threw to one side as useless, it is supposed that. ,he obtained but little booty in the shape of bank notes ; or he com plained bitterly of the poverty of the mailg. A. box of pills and some photographs were disposed of witi; sovereign contempt. —_ - — THE LATE CARDINAL WISEMAN.—We under stand that his Eminence Cardinal Wiseman, the pain ful newsof whose decease after a wasting illness has boon re ceived with general regret, has been suffering for about 12 years from diabetes. In 1860, whilst in Rome, lie suffered severely from carbuncle. His last illness was erriPel as of the head and face, which came on about three weeks ago. It was followed by a carbuncl e on the scalp, ten days back of He gradually sank, exhaus ted by this accumulation maladies.—Lancet. The Emperor's speec con sists of 1 ; 710 w ar d s.

THE GEOGRAPHY OF PERFUMES.—Of the different countries from which we draw materials for making perfumes, we learn that the south of Prance yields the most bountifully the sweetest of all flowers—the rose, jessa mine, and orange ; and that Nice, so famous for its lengthy hotel bills and querulous old maids, is also especially cele brated for its violets; Italy gives us bergamot, orange, and lemon ; Turkey, the far-famed attar of roses ; India supplies cassia, cloves, sandal wood, and patchouli ; and China the much-abused yet "indispensable" musk. Our own country yields but little to the perfumers' lavender and peppermint are all we have to boast of. Our flowers are beautiful both in form an colour, but they do not possess that intensity of odour required for en coon; in fine, our damp climate is inimical , and the dampxtra i 3 swerable for our dtortcoraings.—The queen. 93SW T
