Warde, C. 8., commanding the Wool wich district, on the termination of his half-yearly visitation, inspected on Wednesday the 'Woolwich Division of Royal Marine Light Infantry. The divi sion, in command of Col. W. R. Maxwell, com mandant, was formed on the front parade at 10.30 a.m. in line at open order, and, having received the General with the customary salute, they underwent a most searching inspection, front and rear, after which they broke into open columns of companies, marched past in quick time in that formation, and afterwards in grand divisions. Lieut.-Col. Stewart was called to the front, and put the men through the bayonet exercise. Col. Suther, C. 8., then assumed the command of the battalion. They performed a series of difficult manoeuvres with great steadiness, smartness, and precision. Before leaving barracks the men had been supplied with blank ammunition, but, owing to the unfavourable weather, General Warde brought the inspection to a close wihout fir ing. Having directed Colonel Maxwell to form quarter-distance columns, the officers were called to the front, and the General, addressing them, expressed high satisfaction with what he had seen. The men were then marched to the barracks and dismissed. The General proceeded to the recrea tion room lately built and furnished for the amuse ment of the division. He afterwards inspected the barrack rooms, cells, and kitchens. The General was very much pleased with the roomy and clean barracks, and the well-fitted recreation rooms and libraries. The absence of prisoners, there being only one defaulter, called for his special remark. After the inspection the General and staff and a distin tinguished party were entertained at dinner by the officers of the division.

[REUTER'S EXPRESS.] FRENCH OFFICIAL DESPATCH. A fresh series of diplomatic documents upon the Mexican question has been laid before the Corps Legislatif by the Minister for Foreign Affairs. The principal despatches relative to the evacuation of Mexico by the French are the following : (The Minister of Foreign Affairs to the French Minister at Mexico.) PARIS, Jan. 14, 1866. Sir,—The position in which we arc placed in Mexico cannot be prolonged, and circumstances compel us to take a definitive resolution in this re spect which I am requested by the Emperor to com municate to you. The original object of our expedition was to obtain the satisfaction of our claims and the repara tion due to French subjects. If, however, we have considered it useful to afford our assistance to the efforts of a nation desirous of regaining order and welfare under a regular Government, if our legiti mate interest counselled us to support the Prince who devoted himself to this generous task, our co operation must be restricted within the precise limits defined by the Convention of Miramar. The re"- ciprocal arrangements stipulated by this treaty have fixed the extent and conditions of the use we were permitted to make of the forces of France in the consolidation of a friendly Government. It would be superfluous to dwell upon the causes which render it impossible for the Mexican Court, notwithstanding the rectitude of its intentions to fulfil these conditions henceforth. On one hand, any appeal to credit would be devoid of result ; and on the other, we we cannot, independently of the stipulations agreed upon, exclusively t a k e upon ourse l ves th e charges of the Mexican Government, provide with our own army for its defence, and with our own finances for its administrative service. The advances which we have several times granted cannot be re newed, and the Emperor will not request fresh sacrifices from France. It is necessary, therefore, that our occupation should reach its termination, and we must prepare for this step without delay. The Emperor requests you, Sir, to arrange this matter in concert with his august Ally after a loyal discussion, in which Mar shal Bazaine will naturally: take part, shall have determined the means of guaranteeing as far as possible the interest of the Mexican Government, the security of our debt and the claims of our sub jects. His Majesty desires that the evacuation should commence about next autumn. You will be good enough, sir, to read this de spatch to his Excellency the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and to leave with him a copy of the same. I request Baron Saillard to add verbally all neces sary explanations, and to bring back shortly the reply, in which you will acquaint me with the defi nitive arrangements which shall have been con cluded.—Receive, &c., (Signed) DROUYN DE LHUYS. The Minister for Foreign Affairs to the French Minister in Mexico. PARIS, Feb. 16, 1866. Sir,—At the time in which lam writing this de spatch Baron Saillard should have reached Mexico. You will therefore' be acquainted with the instruc tions of the Emperor's Goyernment. His Majesty himself communicated his resolution to the great bodies of the State in his speech at the opening of the Legislative session. I have only now to con firm the general directions contained in my despatches of the 14th and 15th January, and to recommend to you to determine without-delay with the Mexican Government the arrangements destined to carry out the Emperor's views. His Majesty's desire, as you are aware, is that the evacuation should commence about next autumn, and terminate as promptly as possible.- You will have to arrange with Marshal Bazaine, in order to fix the successive periods of the evacuation in concert with the Emperor Maxi milian. I cannot here enter into the various considera tions which will haVe to be kept in view in conduc ting this operation. Some of a purely military and technical nature arc essentially within the province of the Marshal Commander-in , Chief. - Others oth more political character are entrusted to your com -111011 jud.pnent, as:'iisted by your perfect knowledge of local circumstances and requirements arising therefrom. It is equally necessary, sir, to arrange the finan cial balance, and, fix the guarantees demanded for the security of our claims. The provisions .of the Treaty of Miramar not having been realised, it is necessary to have recourse to other combinations in order to secure the repayment of our advances, and to provide at the same time in the interest of Mexi can credit for the regular payment of the arrears of the debt contracted by the loans of 1864 and 1865. M, Langlais will receive by the present courier from the Minister of Finance, the detailed instructions which he will communicate to you. You will have o concert measures with him in order to assure their execution. The Government of the Emperor thought that the most simple and least onerous arrangement for the Mexican Government would consist in remitting to us the customs of Vera Cruz and Stampico, or other ports which might be considered more con venient. Half the proceeds would be given us, to be employed partly in the payment of the interest at 30 per cent. of our claims, estimated at a capital of 250 millions, and partly as a partial guarantee of the interest due to the holders of bonds of the loans of 1864 and 1865. Administered under our care, we may be per mitted to hope that those customs will still fur nish important resources after the deductions agreed upon. You will therefore have to make with the Mexi can Cabinet the necessary arrangements that this power may be regularly conferred upon us. These points having been regulated, and French interests thereby secured, the Emperor's Govern ment will none the less continue to show, in an efficacious manner all the sympathy with which his Majesty is animated towards the Sovereign of Mexico. and the generous task to which he has de voted himself. You will be kind enough to give this assurance, in the name of his Majesty, to the Emperor Maxi &c.; .• (Signed) ' DROUYN DE LIIUYS.

Your Excellency already knows the intentions of the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary corps. The evacuation, commencing in November next, would be completed during the autumn of 1867, that is to say that it will be entirely carried out in 18 months.—lteceive, (Signed) DANO.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OP CRIMINAL APPEAL. (Before Lord Chief Justice Erle, Justice she; and Barons Martin, Bramwell, and Channell.) THE QUEEN V. BOWER. This was a case tried before the Assistant -judge at the Middlesex Sessions, and was a charge brought against Bower for embezzlement. It appeared that Bower had been employed by the firm of SkersOw, Clarke, and others, coal merchants, as an agent, at a salary of .£l. ls. a week and a commission of ls. per ton for any coal he sold, as well as Gd. per ton on coal sold to any customer he might introduce to the firm. He was also to collect debts, and by agreement the same were to be paid into the firm by the defendant a week after their receipt. The defendant then got into the retail business on his own account, being supplied with goods by the prosecutors, and still retained the agency, but without the salary, his sole remuneration being the commission. It was discovered that the defendant had received different sums of money, for which he had not accounted. He was found guilty, but he denied that he was a clerk or servant of the Irros•'cutor's, and conse quently not liable to an indictment for embezzlement, not being under salary, and the sentence was deferred until the question was argued before this court. Mr. Collins appeared in support of the appeal, and Mr Metcalf for the Crown. Lord Chief Justice Erie said that in this case the convic tion must be quashed. .11e thought the law was clearly established by the cases cited in the course of the argu ments. A person travelling under orders with instructions to collect orders was a servant, but a perscn merely en trusted to collect orders and debts was not a clerk, a ser vant, within the meaning of the statute. Under the first agreement the defendant was a servant, but having, in Juno, 1865, set up on his own account, the relation between the parties was changed. The prosecutors recognised that change, and made an alteration in his position towards them, by merely giving him a commission and requesting him to collect debts. Tho verdict was accordingly reversed. THE QUEEN V. BANEES. This was an appeal from the finding of a jury at the Bolton Assizes, under the following circumstances. It appeared that the defendant was entrusted by some fellow workmen to receive their wages, which he got from the cashier of their employer, Mr. Omerod, but never paid to them. He was indicted by Mr. Omerod for a felony ; and that gentleman described the property as his own; but de fendant's counsel held that the property was improperly described, as it really belonged to the workmen, and not to their employer. The Court held the same opinion, and quashed the verdict. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Justice Keating and a Common Jury.) BUTLER V. JEBB. This was an action by the plaintiff for an excessive dis tress, wrongful conversion of goods, and not selling the same to the best advantage. Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., and Mr. Shaw were counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Parry and another learned gentleman for the defendant. Mr. Eluddleston stated the case. Tho plaintiff was a widow with a family, and supported herself and children by : working as a charwoman, and the defendant was a dealer in house property in an extensive way at 109, Cheapside. In March last the plaintiff took two rooms in Clerken well at a rent of 4s. a-week from a person named Barr. The goods of which she was• deprived of were all her property, and were worth about .£25, and every single stick of these had been swept away by the defendant, who claimed to be the landlord of the house, and for rent alleged to be due to Barr, from whom she had taken the apartments. It appeared that Barr had taken the house from a person who became bankrupt, and he did not pay him the rent, considering that he was liable to the assignee, a Mr. Temple ; and Mr. Barr refusing to pay him he hued him in the County Court. Afterwards Mr. Barr was applied to for .£6 13s. by an agent of the plaintiff, who asserted that he was the landlord, and • this account not being paid, a distress was put into the house, and the goods of Barr and the plaintiff were seized, the latter not having left even a chair or mat tress for herself and children. The plaintiff •got a gentle man, named Owen, to intercede with the broker to let her have a mattress, but he refused, and he then requested the things to be sold at a weekly auction, which took place in the. neighbourhood. He afterwards went to Mr. Jebb, who, on his representing the hardship of the case, said that he would return the plaintiff her goods if she gave up the key, to which she consented, but in the meantime the broker had sold the goods for .£7 10s. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for £l2. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) A COOL IDEA IN LAW-FRANKS V. MEMEL. This was an application of a somewhat singular charac ter. Plaintiff had sued the defendant upon some question at issue between them, but upon the day of hearing he had not appeared, and the defendant, paying the hearing foes was awarded £1 as costs. To-day .. plßinfiff appeared, and - urged that those costs should not be enforced as against him. His Honour considered that as the plaintiff had not ap peared when his case was called on, defendant was clearly entitled to costs. Plaintiff—But I wrote and asked him whother he would appear, and he did not answer me. His Honour—Nor was he bound to take any notice of your letter. • Plaintiff—l consider that he should have done co. Defendant—l really do think that the idea advanced by the plaintiff is most cool. He certainly did write to me, and asked mo if I was going to defend the case, but I did not think proper to answer him, as, in the event of my doing so, I might have had two or three barristers brought down against me. Plaintiff—l think it would have boon only polito on your part to answer me. His Honour—He was not bound to let you know what he was going to do. It appears to me that he has acted perfectly right, and you having commenced the action should have attended here on the proper day. A defen dant is not bound to inform a plaintiff whether he in tends to defend an action or not, and I must dismiss the application with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. BATHING IN THE SETUENTINE DURING THE PROHIBITED Houns.—Joseph Riley, a young man, described as a bar man, residing at Bow, was charged before Mr. Knox with bathing in the Serpentine during the prohibited hours. Police-constable Fassmidge, 604 A, said that on the pre vious night, some time after all the other bathers had come out of the Serpentine, he noticed the defendant in the water, about 20 yards beyond the boundary. Ile called to the defendant to come out, when he refused to do so, was very impudent, and kept swimming across the Serpentine, and by the time he came out it was half-past 9, the hour for bathing to cease being 9 o'clock, there being boards placed in different parts with notices to that effect. The defendant said he did not know it was not allowed. Mr. Knox asked the defendant why he did not come out of the water when the constable called to him. The defendant said he thought it was a friend calling to him. Mr. Knox said it was the first case before him this sea son, and as tho defendant had been locked up all night he would discharge him. It appears that above 1,000 persons bathed in the Ser pentine yesterday evening, and that at the time the defen dant was in the water the boatmen had left. THAMES. A PRECOCIOUS VILLAIN.—John Aldridge, a boy aged twelve years, was charged with stealing £l5, the monies of John Garrett, a greengrocer, of 16, Mile-end-road. On the sth of May last the prisoner was engaged by Mrs. Ann Garrett, the wife of the prosecutor, as errand boy, without a character or reference. He told . a plausible tale, and Mrs. Garrett believed him to be an honest boy. Her misplaced confidence was very soon dispelled. Ile had been in her service three hours when he took up a can and asked his mistress if he should fill it with water from the butt in the yard. . She requested him to do so, but ho never returned to the shop with the water, and disappeared. There was Xl5 in gold, silver, and halfpence in a peck measure on a chest of drawers in Mr. Garrett's parlour. The money disappeared at the same lime as the pri soner, and nothing more was heard of hi m until yesterday afternoon, when he was arrested by a police-constable named Edward Cable, No. 240 K, at the dwelling of his parents, No. 2, Caroline. court, Caroline street, Ratcliff. He said that he took the money, and that he and another boy purchasd each a suit of clothes and went to Gravesend, where they spent the remainder of the money. Mrs. Garrett said she intended to give the boy ls. Gd. per week, and to maintain him. Mrs. Aldridge, a very respectable woman, the mother of the prisoner, said her son absconded from home on the 2d of May, and that she received a letter on Thursday morn ing stating that he was in Gravesend Workhouse. The prisoner was committed for trial. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—Jane Robinson, a stout, thick lipped African megress, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with attempting to commit suicide in the water of the London Dock. James Connor, a police-constable, No. 35 If, stated that at five minutes to three o'clock this morning he heard the springing of a rattle from the dock watchman, near the swivel-bridge over the lock in Old Gravel-lane. lie went there and was told a woman had thrown . herself off the bridge. He procured the drags and grapnels, and, guided by some bubbles in the water, he thcew them in and dragged out the body of the prisoner. She was insensible for a few minutes. lie obtained assistance, and she , was resuscitated. She made a similar attempt on her life before at the same place. The prisoner, who held down hor head and looked very dejected, said she was an unfortunate girl and had nothing to say. She was remanded for a week. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON AND SUUTH-WESTERN. An adjourned meeting of this company was held on Thursday, at the Waterloo station, for the purpose of considering certain bills now pending in Parliament—Capt. Mangles in the chair. _ The CIrAIRMAN said he was sorry to have called the shareholders together, as the business of the day was only a matter of form; but he was obliged to do so, as they were all well aware. The bill he had now to submit to them was a bill for making railways from the Great Western Railway at West Drayton, in the county of Middlesex, to Colnbrook and to the Windsor branch of the London and South-Western Railway at Staines, in the county of Middlesex. Ile explained that the bill was brought into Parliment by a separate company. The capital was to be found by the new company, and the only clauses which affected this company were those giving them power to make working arrangements with the Great Western Railway in connection with this line, and also us to the terms of those working arrangements. It was no scheme of the South-Western Company, and was not promoted by them. He moved a reso lution approving the bill. Mr. HuTcuil,Gs seconded the motion, which was carried. The meeting was then made special for the pur pose of considering, a bill for conferring further powers on the Great Western Railway Company in relation to their own undertaking, and the under takinos of other railway compa n i es, and for other purposes. SOLICITOR explained th at this bill was The • pro moted by the Great Western Company. The South Western Company . was under working • arrange ments with the Weymouth and Portland Railway Company, and it was ed, b expedientutbefore th at t h a o n s e alterationarran e ments should be va ried, could be made the terms would be submitted to the shareholders. This bill also gave this company powers to make working arrangements with the Great Western' Company. The CHAIRMAN said that they•had a lite to Dor ' chester, and this new line was promoted by a a epa _ rate company for ,continuing the railway on t o Weymouth, and it •would be of considerable ad vantage to the South Western Railway. A SHAREHOLDER. asked if both companies—the London and South Western and the Great West ern —were to liave running powers over the line? The CHAIRMAN said it was a joint lease. He might mention that the line was already open for traffic. He moved a resolution approving the bill. _ _ Mr. DurToN seconded the motion, which was agreed to. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings. SHARE . MARKETS.—This Day. Share/ Railways. I Bristol and Exeter Caledonian (Cambrian • .

The adjourned Wharncliffe meeting was held on Thursday at the Paddington Station, Mr. Daniel Gooch, M.P., chairman of the board of directors, in the chair. ' There were only two bills ready, and these were unanimously assented to.

The second was " A bill to authorise the Stourbridge Railway Company to construct rail ways to Amblecote and Cookley, and branches at Spon-lane and Stourbridge, and to raise additional capital, and for other purposes." The chairman stated that one of the objects of this bill was to carry out au agreement which had already been dis cussed and sanctioned by the shareholders in this company.

S. PARKER.—It may not be generally known to our readers that, like several other distinguished barristers (of whom Lord Chelmsford is a prominent example), Mr. Parker originally served his country in a more active capacity. Limit. Kenyon Stephens Parker entered the Royal Marines as s econd lieutenant, Nov. 25, 1805 ; was promo ted to first li eutenant Jan. 15, 1811; and retired on half-ply at the reduction, Sept. 1, 1819.

(Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice Blackburn, and ' Justices Mellor and Shoe.) TARNER V. WALKER.—THE CORKILILL BURGLARY. This was a motion for a new trial under circumstances which have already been frequently before the public. The plaintiff is a watchmaker, carrying on business at Wilder ness-row, Clerkenwell, and ho brought an action to re cover the amount of £250 of a reward offered by Mr. Wal ker, the watchmaker, for information leading to the deten tion of the burglars, and also ..£750 for the recovery of a portion of the same or a proportionate part of it, and the plaintiff obtained a ♦erdict against the de fendant, who refused to give more than the value of two of the watches recovered. The reward for the conviction of the burglars was disputed on the ground that the information supplied was too vague to have led to the said conviction. A rule had been obtained calling on the plaintiff to show cause why their should not be a new trial. Mr. Sergeant Parry now showed cause against the rule, and Mr. Laylor followed on the same side. Mr. D. Seymour, Q.C., replied. The Court refused to grant a new trial, and the nile was accordingly discharged, with leave to the defendant to appeal. LONDON GAZETTE. —Last Evening.
