This is the first town in Somersetshire that has recognised the public services of the late statesman in the form of a memorial.

OSSE, THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 6, ISM LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. LORD MAYOR'S COURT. (Before Mr. Forsyth, Q.C., Deputy-Recot(ler and a Common Jury.) PEARCE T. THB 'UNITED WAREHOUSE COMPANY (LIMITED). This was an action to recover £l6O 19s. 3d. for services rendered to the defendants. Mr. Talfourd Salter appeared for the plaintiff, the com pany not being represented. _ _ . Mr. Salter, in opening the plaintiff's case, stated that his client was the representative in London of a Manchester house, and in the early part of last year he was requested by Mr. Rogers, the secretary of the defendants' company, to canvass the large houses in order to obtain their favours" when they wanted goods warehoused in London. Plain tiff worked very hard four months, but could not get any money, and he was compelled to come to this court. Plaintiff stated that Mr. Rogers agreed to engage him at a salary of £250 per annum, with a promise that he should have a situation as one of the company's buyers if he would assist in promoting the undertaking. In addition to this plaintiff was to have £3O for expenses, his duties being to go round to the large wholesale houses, to most of whom ho was well known, to obtain their support for the com pany. Plaintiff worked very hard for four months, when his services were dispensed with. Mr. Salter—l believe you went over a great space of ground during the time you were engaged. Plaintiff—Yes ; Lcovered a space of 14 miles round. I have not yet actually been discharged. Mr. Salter—l believe you have received some money on account. Plaintiff—Yes, ss. (Great laughter.) By his Lordship—The company is still going on, for the name is up at the offices. His Lordship then directed the jury that upon this evi dence the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict of £l6O 19s. 3d. Verdict for the plaintiff. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. ___.,.. _ MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A. GENTLEMAN CHARGED IVITH ASSAULTING THE POLICE. —Mr. John Keith or Grant, both names being given, gentleman, of No. 2, Thistle-grove, Brompton, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk, behaving in a disorderly manner, and also with assaulting Police-con stable Wm. M'Gee, 161 C. The constable said he was in Piccadilly last night, when he was called by a cabman, in consequence of the defen dant, who was drunk, having got into his cab and refusing to say where he wished to be taken to. While he was talking to the cabman the defendant jumped out of the cab and knocked him down. He was obliged to get assist ance to take the defendant into custody, and on the way to the station the defendant struck him. several times, but did not hurt him much. The defendant said he was roughly used. Mr. Knox observed that it was very likely the defen dant was if he was drunk and violent. A witness having corroborated the constable, The defendant said he had no recollection of the matter. Mr. Knox remarked that it was all very well for the de fendant to say he had no recollection of the matter, but he had knocked down a constable who was only doing his duty, and the police must be protected. If the defendant had injured the constable he would have sent Mm to pri son for two months. As it was the defendant would have to pay 405., or a month, and for the future he had better keep his hands off the police. WESTMINSTER. EXTRAORDINARY APPLICATION.-HONESTY IN ADVER SITY.-A very respectable-looking woman, who gave her name and address Mrs. Elizabeth Hare, staying at 4, Caversham-street, Christchurch, Chelsea, applied to Mr. Selfe for his advice under the following very peculiar cir cumstances : She said she was the wife of a watchmaker, who had until lately had a shop at 29, Queen's-road -east, Chelsea. On the 30th of last September he told her that he had two £4O bills to meet, and should be compelled to close his shop, sell off all he possessed, and then go to the Bank ruptcy Court and declare his insolvency. He told her the best thing which she could do was to go to her friends in the country, where she might remain with her three children until he could join her, but he never came. Mr. Selfe—Did he desert you ? Applicant—He sent me some money, but I have never seen him since, and don't know where to find him. lam with my three young children in distress, but that is not now the object of my visit to you. It is the contents of this box that I am troubled about. Applicant here produced a large tin box. Mr. Selfe—What have you there ? Applicant—Watches and jewellery. Mr. Selfe—How came you by them? Applicant—They belong to my husband's customers. When my husband determined to sell off his property he gave me these watches and articles of jewellery which had been left with him to repair. He also preserved tools enough to mend them, and said that it was his intention to do so. I have kept the things ever since, but now I wish to know from you what I had better.do with them. Mr. Selfe—Restoro the things to the persons to whom they belong. I dare say they will be very glad to have them. Let the people describe each properly, and then give it to them. Your conduct is most honest and praise worthy. The press can assist you much more than I can. THAMES. MisainEvors AND DANGEROUS BOYS.—Edward Rind,l6, a lame tailor on crutches, and who is the ringleader of a gang of juvenile vagrants, Charles Parker, 15, Frederick Rayment, 12, and Herbert Rayment, 10, his brother, were charged with throwing stones at a bargeman named Wm. West, while he was navigating his barge along the Regent's Canal, near the Mile-end-road. The boys were on the bridge near the New Globe Tavern, and a shower of stones and gravel fell on the barge. It was stated by Police-constable Simmons, 127 K, and by West, that the nuisance of stone throwing had become alarming, and that several bargemen had been hurt by the abominable practice of throwing stones from the bridges by idle and mischievous boys. The prisoners, in defence, said—We only chucked mud, sir. Mr. Paget Why did you do that ? The prisoners —Because other boys did it. Mr. Paget said he would put a stop to this very danger ous sport if possible. Ho remanded the prisoners. THROWING RUBBISH INTO THE THAMES.—Henry Wes sendorff, a lighterman, aged 50, was charged with throw ing a quantity of old matting into the Thames. George Reed, an inspector of the Thames police, was surprised yesterday afternoon at perceiving a large quan tity of old light matting coming up the river off the Tower with the flowing tide. He rowed down the river and caught the prisoner in flagrante delecto throwing old and useless matting from a barge into the river. This matting sunk when it got wet, and got about ship's moorings or the paddle-boxes of steamers and caused great obstruc tion to the navigation. The prisoner said he was cleaning out his barge and put the rubbish on the gunwale ; it fell overboard. He would not throw anything into the river—not ho, surely; ho would scorn the idea. The magistrate did uot believe him, and fined him 10s. THE RADICAL AMERICAN CONGRESS. The American Congress presents the extraordinary spectacle of a Republican Legislature in conflict with the executive power and at variance with the 'public opinion of the country. To explain the anomaly it will be only necessary to contrast the demands of peace with the exigencies of war. For the latter purpose resolute men and vigorous measures were indispensably required, and the most uncompromising principles naturally prevailed. For the former a different agency is needed, and fanaticism becomes an obstacle instead of a reoouree. The Lower House of Congress represents by a very strong majority the Republican party in the United States, and such a constitution of the Assembly would have been exceedingly useful in supporting a war policy against all opposition, but it is evidently less adapted to the task of conciliation and reconstruction actually before it. The war is over; the South is conquered, and the Southern people, according to the report of General Grant himself, are at length prepared to fulfil what, a few months ago, was the most ardent hope of every American breast, and re-enter the Union. It happens, however, that the work of compromise now devolves on those who were the most determined enemies not only of Southern insurgents, but of Southern institutions, and these politicians have gone the length of refusing an compromise whatever. They desire apparently no "reconstruction" at all. It is enongh for them that there is no division of authority within the limits of the Union, no independent Confederacy confronting the original Republic. For the rest, they have no objection to see the States of the South in the position of the un organised provinces of tbo extreme West ; indeed, they think it rather advisable, for the present, that the United States should not be considered as including the States recently in rebellion. The result of the policy is that the great object of the war is for the time as com pletely lost as if the Confederates had been victorious. At this moment the Union is shorn of eleven of its ancient States. Secession itself, if successful, could have pro duced no worse curtailment. The only difference is that in the latter event these States would have formed an in dependent Power, whereas they have no organisation at all. They are still out of the Union as completely as ever. There can be no difficulty in believing that this policy is directly opposed to the present views of the American people. If the policy of the Republicans expressed th 3 national convictions while the South was in arms, it does not express them now that the South is utterly beaten. The people of the States as a body are neither vindictive nor fanatical; they take no very keen interest in the posi tion of the negro, so long as actual slavery is abolished, and they are far more desirous of seeing the old Union restored and the works of peace recommenced than of witnessing the ascendancy of any extreme principles. Such, we are credibly assured, are the opinions prevailing in the Northern States, and they have hitherto been judi ciously adopted by the President.—Times. Dublin Metropolitan Junction Railway. MEETING THIS DAY. The first ordinary meeting of this company was held at their offices, 8, Delahoy-street ; Sir Percy Nugent, Bart., in the chair. The object of this undertaking, which received the sanction of Parliament last year, is to form a junction with the Dublin, Wexford, and Wicklow, and the Great Southeru and Westqn of Ireland. It com mences by a junction with the Dublin and Rath- Mines Railway near Camden-row, and terminates in Watling-street, at one portion of the mett•o polis. There were also to be termini in other parts, so as to form the required links between the two important lines specified. The capital is to be £160,000, and the cost of construction is esti mated at £lOO,OOO a mile, and the whole of the capital is divided into 16,000 shares. The bill pro vides very stringent regulations respecting the construction of the line both with reference to safety and to sanitary conside rations, several penalties being imposed. for interference with the gas and water supplies along the route of the . line. The Act specially provided that, in the event of the line not being constructed at the expiration or five years from the passing of the Act, the powers of the company shall cease, except so far as any of the complete portions. After the usual preliminaries, Sir Percy Nugent, Sir John Gray, and Messrs. J. Revolta, D. Tracy, and L. G. Knox were appointed directors. The auditors and other officers were also elected, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. MARKETS—This Day. COVENT GARDEN..

A new and interesting series of dissolving views were exhibited by Mr. Willem Vandervell and Mr. Haggard, whilst Mr. Harold Power (son of the late comedian) gave a description of each view, and by his quaint delivery managed to keep the audience in a " merrie mood." Mr. Toole sang a comic song, which was highly appreciated. During the evening there was a selection of music, under the direction of Mr. Vandervell which included his last composition, entitled i 6 Fair Ger trude." A very plea• ant evening was passed, and the visi tors departed highly amused. We understand it is the intention of Dr. Christie to give a theatrical performance by amateurs towards the end of the month. CONVICTION OF A WORKHOUSE MASTER.—At the Essex quarter sessions, , on Thursday, Thomas Twose, late master of the Halstead Union Workhouse, was convicted of stealing a considerable quantity of wheat, barley, beans, peas, &c., the property of the guardians, and also a number of glass and china articles.

A GENTLEMAN IN A STATE OF CYTOLOGY.—An elderly man was found in the fields at Hampstead on Thursday morning by some labourers, without hat or coat, and his clothes completely covered with mud. He was in a very exhausted state, and had evidently been out in the rain all night. On being asked how he got in a such a con dition, he said he had been to Mr. Addison's house in St. John's Wood, to . see some spiritual manifestations, and that under Mr. Sothern's directions, he had endeavoured to cycologise some of the gentlemen present ; that he suc ceeded with one, who became very violent, and. who, after throwing everything in the room at him, seized a knife and swore to have his life ; that he fled the house, and to escape the pursuer ran into the fields and hid himself in a ditch, where he remained all night afraid to move. The poor man was taken home, declaring he would never again try the effect of such a dangerous power, and which had nearly cost him his life. The gent leman he cycologised, he stated, was Mr. Toole, the favourite comedian of the Adelphi Theatre. WHAT THE EARLY BENEDICTINES DID. --The Benedictines, after the death of their founder, steadily prospered, and as they prospered sent out missionaries to preach the truth amongst tittnihhagean s t nations huf h bape e ieawtethhan.roe Ttimh of deitieseta They t3eewodn in n p tcrh l oe plunged tneght theyriee ndefiosi:ahttenhtrdoeo d e pths of paganism. of n h of aEpo t nvruoedervro overturn Europe; uneecrl ne; means Belgium; ittuhht moee they the; altarsf n c o c conv erting c t a h r : i y e p d la t c h e e d C th ro at ss c i r n o t s o s G b a e u tl l v , e i o n n to t h S e a a x b o j n e c y t , misery of serfdom and the cruelty of feudal violation ; between the beasts of burden and the beasts of prey—they proclaimed the common kinship of humanity in Christ the Elder Brother. Strange to say, some of its most distin guished missionaries were natives of our own country. It was a Scottish monk, St. Ribanus, who first preached tho Gospel in Franconia—it was an English monk, St. Wil fred, who did the same in Friesland and Holland in the year 683, but with little success—it was an Englishman, St. Swibert, who carried the Cross to Saxony, and it was from the lips of another Englishman, St. Ulfred, that Sweden first heard the Gospel—it was an Englishman and a Devonshire man, St. Boniface, who laid aside his mitre, put on his monk's dress, converted Germany to the truth, and then fell a victim to the future of the heathen Fries landers, who slaughtered him in cold blood. Four Bene dictine monks carried the ,fight of truth into Denmark, Sweden, and Gothland, sent there in the ninth century by the Emperor Ludovicus Plus. Gascony,. Hungary Lithuania, Russia, Pomerania, are all emblazoned on their banners as victories won by them in the fight of faith ; and it was to the devotion of five martyr monks, who fell in the work, that Poland traces the foundation of her Church. —Dublin University Magazine. THE FIRST FENIAN.—Finn, better known in Ire land as Finn M'Comhail, flourished in Ireland dur ing the third century of the Christian era. It is the general opinion among the common people that Finn w as a giant, some say sixty feet in height. Warriors, like k'inn, who pass away in the twilight of history, leave long sha dows behind them. We find it difficult to believe that great heroes were little men. This Finn is the Finvl of Macpherson, who has made a Scotchman of him. The poet Thomas Moore, in his " History of Ireland," says, " It has been the fate of this popular Irish hero, after a long course of traditional renown in this country, where his name still lives, not only in legends and songs, but in the yet more indelible record of scenery c onnected with his memory, to have been all at once transferred by adoption (kidnapping we should say) to a nother country (Scotland), to start under a now but fals e shape, in a fresh career of fame. When "Tommy Moore" penned those words, he little thought that the great hero and supporter of the Royal house of Cormac was to start, or to be started, a third time, as the leader or represen tative of a set of Red Republicans, of adventurers and s ho p boys. It is enough to make the ghost of this Irish hero burst the bars of Hades, and de nounce these beggarly rebels, whom he would not havo em ployed as " daltins," or horseboys, to his cavalry. " This celebrated warrior," says Dr. O'Donovan, in his notes on the "Annals of Ireland," "had two grand residences .in Loinster ; one in Almhuin, in the county of Kildare, and the other in Meghelle, now Moyolfy, in the King's County He was son-in-law of King Cormac, and general of his standing army, which, as Pinkerton remarks, seems to have been in imitation of the Roman legions."— Shilling Magaziue. .1........ e ppel ended Eonckl ted to ho3llil 0 ar' ) the D uka ur on th is ;tailce ,d to • frOo Ater/ from w es IC -nit of cond 3,1i 0 31. 171 tined/ q uer froVi rile d co, et O le )1) 04 isio WO bO O and EsP b I the on 6° I lea" each Nord Yes to 'Too 206 10 100 / 100 100 100 all 100 100 2.1.0 294 2.14.6 31 2.14.0 8.3.6 3.9.0 10.8.0 35i$ 101 i 1041 Age .. 4
