This was an action to recover the Vitlue of some brandy, warrant for which was lodged with the defendant, who is the proprietor of the Raglan Music Hall. Mr. Francis appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. Little repre senting defendant. Plaintiff deposed that he had lodged the warrant with defendant, and received upon it an advance of .£2 10s. When he went to redeem it, he was told that the warrant had been lost. He found that it had been taken out of bond, and then called upon the defendant, who said he had had a good deal of trouble in the matter, and gave him half a sovereign. Defendant was called, and said that he advanced £7 108. on the biaudy, and he had offered it back if the duty was paid back to him. 38 i 8 71 145 4j Cross-examined —There were forty-four gallons of the brandy, but it was not worth having. Ho would much rather have. British brandy. (Laughter.) He did not sell it as brandy at the Raglan, because it would not go down. Did not retail it at the usual 6d. per glass. He had mixed it with rum before he could sell it. He had a sample of the stuff which the learned counsel could taste if he liked. His Lordship—You can taste it, Mr. Francis. (Laughter.) Mr. Francis—l can only repeat the old saying—" It is too early in the morning." A witness was called, who said he had seen defendant advance pieces of gold to the plaintiff. The learned counsel on each side having addressed the jury. his lordship was about to sum up when the foreman said that they had made up their minds, and unanimously found a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed.

THE RESULT OF PAYING A NIGHT VISIT TO ST. JAMES'S WORKHOUSE.-Mr. David Greenhall, harness maker, of No. 43, Rupert-street, was charged before Mr Knox with applying for and obtaining relief at St. James's Workhouse, he having money and other valuable property in his possession, and not giving a correct account of himself. 19 iOO giof Charles Densham, superintendent of the casual ward at St. James's Workhouse, said—Last night, about a quarter past 9 o'clock the defendant applied for relief, and was ad mitted to the casual ward. I gave him the usual allowance, and showed him his berth. I afterwards searched him, and found upon him 6s. 91d and other property. The de fendant then said that he was a respectable man, and asked to be allowed to leave. I told the defendant that I could not permit that. The defendant was afterwards given into the custody of a constable (Cox, 177 C). 12* It 34 7 61 7; Defendant—l had had a little more to drink than I ough :o have had. The Superintendent—The defendant was quite sober. His only excuse was that he wished to see the place.

Sergeant Stephens, acting inspector—That is the case His name is in the Directory, and he is known to the super intendent and one of the inspectors. Defendant—lt was a drunken frolic. Mr. Knox—Did the defendant consume any of the bread and gruel ? The Superintendent—He ate some of the bread and tasted the gruel. He then offered me his card, and asked to be allowed to go, saying it was only a drunken frolic. Mr. Knox—Then the defendant is really a tradesman in Rupert -street ? ITIES. I Sergeant Stephens—He is, sir. 991 81 99 98) 9 79 f 984 100 i 105 f f A Neat Sample of Translation. • - (DICKENS I `DONE" INTO FRENCH !) " Traduttore, traditore," says the Italian proverb. It probably originated with some unlucky wight, either smarting under recent injuries inflicted on the offspring of his brain by traditori, or gifted with the power to foresee the dire calamities to be inflicted by them on his brotherhood in future generations. One would suppose that two qualifications are essential to constitute a good translator A thorough acquaintance with the resources of the language used for the reproduction, being the first ; and the second, a not less intimate knowledge of eac idiom destined to be reproduced. We will submit, as a rather remarkable instance of the absence of both these qualifications in a translator—or rather, in a trauslatress, for the wonderful offender to be presented is announced as lady—a few extracts from a surprising mystification which appeared a few months ago in the columns of L' Opinion Nationale, a French daily paper, well known for its very liberal tendencies, and for that, or some other reason, one of the most popular aad generally read in Paris. The editors had announced some time beforehand the appearance of a transla tion of " Our Mutual Friend ;" and the lovers of feuilleton, whose name is Legion in France, were on the tiptoe of expectation. At last it came, blar ing the title L'Ami Commun. It came to grief, and that as deservedly as speedily; for the subscribers to the above-named journal take common sense for their guide, and, like Mrs. Merdle, pride themselves upon having no nonsense about them. So, after having groped about in the dark during six fuille tons of Mutual Friends, in the hope of things brightening, though ever so little, they protested en masse after the appearance of the seventh, and de manded with a loud cry, not to be resisted, the expla nation of the dark enigma, or its immediate withdrawal. For self-evident reasons, the Sphinx remained silent, and suppression was the righteous conse quence. From the outset, a sort of moral stand-up fight was engaged in between the translatress and Mr. Twemlow as to which should the most effectually demolish the other. All the other characters yet developed in the book suffered more or less from the horrible punishment administered by the lady ; but Twemlow, the special object of her attention, suf fered the most se,Vrely of all. The inoffensive little gentleman being likewise made the instrument of inflicting such acute mental torture on all who should attempt to unravel the complicated mysteries of his identity, as to render consequent insanity probable. Witness the following introduction of Mr. Twem low to the French reader : "Il y a dans le guar tier Saint-James, ou quand it ne sort pas, it est remiss au-dess d'une ecurie de Duke-street, un meuble de salle a manger, meuble innocent, chausse de largos sonhirs de castor" (the underlined being a rather free translation of the word castors in the English text), " pour qui les Veneering sont un sujet d'inquidtude perpetuolle. Cousin germain de lord Snigsworth ce meuble inoffensif, qu'on appelle Twemlow, represente dans maintes families la table a manger a Pdtat normal. " Mister et Missis Veneering, par exemple, organisant un diner, prennent Twemlow pour base, et lui mettent des rallonges, c'est-h-dire lui ajoutent des convives. Parfois la table se compose de Twem low et de six personnes ; parfois on la tire jusqu'aux dernieres limites du possible, et Twemlow a vingt rallonges. " Dans ces grandes occasions, Mister et Missis Veneering, places au milieu de la table, se font vis h-vis a distance de Twamlow ; car plus celui-ci est deployd, plus it est loin du centre et se rapproche du buffet ou des rideaux de la fenetre." Is it surprising, after this magnificent heap of nonsense, in which common sense, good language, the merest elementary principles of grammar, are most grossly outraged, that the subject of it should become henceforth an object of general fear and execration ? The very stops themselves seem to have gone mad, and to be, like so many ill-disposed policemen off duty, taking a little relaxation by join ing in a public disturbance on their own account. Twemlow and the table, the table and Twemlow, commas, colons, and semi -colons, inextricably mixed up together, in stark staring raving madness. Were it not for the total absence of any vestige of the comic element, and divers other reasons, social and political, the recent alliance, and so forth, one might sup pose that the author of this extraordinary specimen of literary reproduction had been bribed by our enemies to travesty our author, and with him the manners and customs of his nation comprehensively. She loads her countrymen to suppose that the English " garb of woe" is the colour of pea-soup, by representing Boffin, Boffin in deep mourning for his master, as wearing a paletot purée de pois? (This is the translation of a peajacket.) And a little further on, the lady changes the dissolving view of beads on Podsnap's forehead into a row of indiscreet buttons on his abdomen ! If she really considered them so indiscreet, why did she not (being, as translatress, mistress of the situation) dispose of the indiscreet buttons on other parts of his person —on his gaiters, for instance? But the word bouton, signifying either a button or a pimple, according to circumstances—there be ing but one and the same term in French for the two objects —we shudder to think that she may have had a darker meaning still, and, by this ambiguous interpretation, may have intended to authorise maliciously disposed foreigners to believe that we English adopt for occasions of social festivity and others the light costume of the Red Skins; which fact could alone render such a detail possible ! Once more, take a specimen of Twemlow shrouded in more impenetrable mystery than ever. "La premiere foi que Twemlow h rencontr4Veneering, c'etat aiu club, oh ledit Veneering ne connaissait personne, excepte l'individu qui le pre 7 sentait. Cet individu lui-meme ne connaissait le nouveau membre quo depuis deux fours et paraissait etre son ani le plus intime. Une rouelle de veau, saldratement a,ccomodee par to cuisinier du club, crimonta lour union seance tenante." Aro the two last original lines high praise of the Eng lish art of cooking, or the contrary ? They contain a most positive affirmation that the cooks of the London clubs have a particular manner of dressing fillets of veal, which dish, partaken of by individuals desirous of uniting in the bonds of friendship, immediately cements the bonds then and there for evermore ! Is it wonderful, when such astounding incompetency as that of this translatress can find its way into a Parisian newspaper conducted with intelligence and enterprise, that we in England sometimes hear intelligent Frenchmen—at the disadvantage of not being able to judge for themselves in the original, and therefore left at the mercy of those who profess to make them acquainted with English literature —denounce Shakspere as a villanous hypochondriac, re velling in blooashed and all descriptions of crime, and em phatically declaring the creaticns of Byron to be all bosh! on the ground that the last-named poet had a cloven foot, and the weakness to desire to hide it ? Handed over to such intolerable translators, what benefit are they likely to derive from the reading of Hamlet or Childe Harold ? —Charles Dickens's All the rear Round. CHARLES KNIGHT'S ENGLISH CYCLOPEDIA we see with pleasure is announced for early publication, in a popular re-issue, in cheap weekly numbers. It is to commence with the division of "Arts and Sciences," and will be followed immediately by " Biography," " Geo graphy," and " Natural History," all increased in value by means of Supplements now preparing. This excellent oppor tuniiy for possessing so valuable a book is well alluded to in the Prospectus : " To the members of Mechanics' and Literary and Scientific Institutions, Working Men's Clubs, and other associations for the purchase and common use of otherwise inaccessible works of research and reference, this mode of re-issue seems particularly well adapted y whilst there are doubtless many individuals who, unable to pay large sums at once, would gladly avail themselves of the opportunity, by easy payments at short intervals, of possessing so useful and extensive a work as The Eng lish Cyclopa3dia.' " THE FOXHOUNDS AND THE CATTLE PLAGUE.—It is a somewhat significant fact that at Nantwich, a district that has perhaps suffered more from cattle plague than any other in the country, the Board of Guardians have passed a resolution asking Lord Grosvenor and the gentlemen of the Cheshire Hunt not to give up the sport, as they are of opinion that the hounds do not convey the disease from farm to farm so much as butchers' and other dogs that prowl about the infected spots at night seeking after car rion. The motion was moved by Mr. Wright, of Minshull, and seconded by Mr. Goulbourn, of Wicksley, the latter one of the largest sufferers by rinderpest in the country, having lost 175 head of stock since September. On the other hand, some of the Shropshire farmers, of the Wem and Whitchurch district, have expressed a strong wish that hunting should be given up for the present, and Sir Watkins W. Wynn stated at the mayor's dinner at Oswes- ' try on Friday that, of course, hunting must depend upon what the farmers felt, and he intended to abide by the de cision arrived at by Lord Grosvenor, who was about to consult the Cheshire farmers on the subject.—Osweqtry Advertiser.

" Second—With having complicity with certain parties who were engaged in the rebellion, riot, or insurrection at Morant Bay, on the 11th day of October, 1865." The Court having been duly sworn, the prisoner pleaded Not Guilty. John Anderson, sworn—The last timethe prisoner went up to Stoney Gut he came to the Chapel Highland Castle at Stoney Gut.

I tell him "No, I would not join it, because when all buckra dead how we are going to manage ?" and he said, "If I don't join it they will kill you."

The prisoner to be hung on Monday next, the 23d of October, 1865 r to-merrow, the 22d, being Sunday, and the state of this past of the country not rendering it necessary to inflict the punishment on the Sabbath-day.

Do you know that you are liable to be sent to prison for a month with hard labour.

I consider it is a serious offence that persons of decent position should go to a workhou:e and make a mockery of applying for relief, and if it is done by them it will be done by others. I do not wish to do that which may be of serious injury to you, and therefore I do not choose to send you to prison as I think that would be too great a punishment. I think the publicity the matter is likely to obtain, and the trouble you have been put to, sufficient punishment. 1 shall dis charge you, seriously cautioning you against repeating the act. WESTMINSTER. UNGRATEFUL RETURN.—Martha Clarke, A flauntingly dressed girl, was charged with stealing a silk gown skirt, under the following circumstances : Mrs. Margaret Reed, the wife of a groom living at 8, Hasper's-court, Knightsbridge, said that on the 29th ult. the prisoner camp to her house to see a lodger in the upper part of it. Addressing prosecutrix, who was standing at her parlour-door, she said she wished to avoid her friend's husband, who was coming downstairs in order to prevent a disturbance. Prosecutrix said she was welcome to step into her parlour for a minute or two, and she did so. Prosecutrix went down the passage for a minute, and when she re turned the prisoner was gone, and with her the skirt of a silk dress which had been hanging behind the door. On the Thursday after prosecutrix was going up the Hay market when she met the prisoner and accused her with the robbery. She admitted that she had taken the dress and pawned it, but declared that she would restore it the following Saturday, but she failed, and prosecutrix meet ing her last night gave her into custody. Mr. Selfe —I am afraid you have compromised this by not giving prisoner in charge when you first met her. Prosecutrix—l thought her a respectable person, and that in her situation in life if I gave her into custody it would ruin her character, and deprive her of the moans of getting her bread. Mr. Selfe—What situation of life was she in ? Prosecutrix—A servant then ; but she has altered her station in life for worse. Prisoner-1 am very sorry. I was distressed. Mr. Selfe—So you robbed this good-natured woman You are remanded for a week. MARK E T S.—This Day. MARK-LANE. The supply of English wheat received fresh up to our market to-day was but moderate. For good and fine dry samples, there was a fair demand, and prices ruled firm, but damp produce was a dull inquiry on former terms. The market was fairly supplied with foreign wheat, in which a moderate amount of business was transacted at late rates. Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderate request. Nevertheless, prices ruled firm. The supply of barley on sale was moderate. The trade was quiet for all descriptions at the prices of Monday. In malt a limited business was transacted at late rates. The supply of oats on sale was very moderate. The trade, in consequence, was firm at very full prices. Beans and peas met a slow sale at late quotations. Flour moved off slowly at late prices.

This morning John Loosemore, of No. 1, Park crescent, Regent's-park, until yesterday a confiden tial clerk in the employ of Piere Tinarde and Co., provision merchants, of 17, Gracechurch-street, was placed at the bar before Alderman Carden, charged with stealing a bill of exchange for £2,500, the pro perty of his employer. The prosecutor said that the prisoner had been in his service for 13 years as clerk, and in him was re posed the utmost confidence ; and also the respon sibility of managing his (witness's) London esta blishment devolved upon him, he himself being more frequently in Paris than in London. In August last he handed the prisoner a bill of exchange of £2,500, drawn by the Merchants' Bank of Mauritius on the Merchants' Bank in London. It was accepted, and he handed it to the prisoner to pay it into his account in the Bank of England, he having endorsed it for that purpose. Yesterday-, on looking into his pass-book, he saw among the various ite.ns this bill of exchange for £2,500 entered in the prisoner's handwriting, and not in that of the clerks of the Bank of England. This excited his suspicion, and he went to the Bank, and there discovered that the bill had never been paid in. He taxed the prisoner, who at once admitted stealing the bill, and said he had converted it to his own use, and lost the whole of the money in speculation. A clerk from the Bank of England proved that I the bill had never passed through that establishment, and also that the entry in the pass-book was fictitious. Alderman Carden remanded the prisoner for a week. London and St. Katherine's Dock Company. MEETING THIS DAY. The ordinary general meeting of the proprietors was held this day at the Dock House, Tower-hill. In moving the adoption of the report, which was of a highly favourable character, the Chair man alluded to the late great fire that had taken place in St. Katherine's Dock. He said he had no doubt that it was the general desire that he should state the amount of loss the calamity would occasion the company. (Hear, hear.) He had the greatest satisfaction in informing them that the loss would be almost insignificant, as the pre mises were well and fully insured. The loss to the company would not exceed £l,ooo—in fact, he thought that about £7OO would be the sum. There would be no loss as far as reinstating the building was concerned ; the loss would arise from want of stowage room. Messrs. Cubitt had undertaken the rebuilding, and the whole was to be rebuilt within ten weeks. There had been a rigid inquiry into the casues of the fire by both their solicitor and the person deputed to attend by Sir R. Mayne, and he felt gratified to say that there was no one point in either of these gentlemen's reports to show tho fire was wilfully done through malice. The best feeling, he assured the meeting, existed between the directors and the hands em ployed in the docks. The statement of the chairman appeared to gin great satisfaction.

THE HEALTH OF MR. J. GIBSON, THE SCULPTOR. —We have been favoured with the following letter from one of the physicians in attendance on Mr. Gibson: —"107, Via del Babuino, Rome, Jan. 19—I am happy to inform you that the state of Mr. Gibson's health is gradu ally improving, and that during the last two days sensation has been returning in the paralysed arm. He has been free from pain during the whole of his illness, and W his mental faculties have bean quite clear. e have now, I think, reasonable hopes of his recovery." We are authorised to state that the Anthropolo gical Soeiety of London will hold an extraordinary meeting at St. James's Hall on Thursday, February Ist, at 8 p.m., to read and discuss a paper by Captain Bedford Pau, RN., entitled The Negro at Home and Abroad." We believe that the paper will have especial reference to the negro of Jamaica, and the causes of the late insurrec tion in that island. SUSPICIOUS CASE.—On Tuesday afternoon the lower part of the body of a man was found floating in the Forth and Clyde Canal, Glasgow. The head and arms were gone, but were afterwards found half a mile west from the spot where the trunk and legs were seen. A dreadful gash appeared in the left side of the head, and the skull was extensively fractured. A girl who happened to be standing on the canal bank saw a coasting boat pass, and heard the steersman say to another man on board, "I will let you see before we go far." Some distance farther up the canal, and after a proper lapse of time, a smith heard cries of distress, and a sound as of a man chopping on wood with an axe. The body will undergo a post-mortem examination. The case is being investigated b/ the autho rities, THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocx. LONDON GAZETTE.—This Evening, FOREIGN-OFFICE, JAN. 24.
